I was really upset when I sent my Mom to Citysearch to check out Rose's for when she came into town, and she told me about this review that said they get all their desserts from another bakery called Beaverton. So I called. I got some Rose's staff person (no manager was available). They said, yes, they outsource their baking, and ALWAYS have since re-opening 7 years ago! They said that they have their baking done not by Beaverton Bakery any longer, but that any recipe ever made for Rose's was a recipe original from Rose who opened the place I guess in the 1950's (I'm to young for that), and that you can't get them anywhere else. They assured me that while they have made some of their slices smaller due to a demand by diet-conscious people (who are these people and why are they ruining my just desserts?), that the cake is the same, always will be. So I for one will not ever boycott, I'll keep coming back for my fix. Thanks for straightening that out, Rose's. I'll be in this week for my Raspberry Poppyseed cake. Boo on you other reviewer.
Pros: DESSERT! I don't care WHO bakes this cake!
Cons: Parking on 23rd is always a nasty endeavor
