Favorite Menu Items at Big Ben’s Desserts in Spartanburg

One bite, and you’ll be hooked. The hardest part of a visit to Big Ben’s Desserts will be deciding what to order.

I chose four items to share with my family and I recommend doing the same!  We all enjoyed the honeybun cake, strawberry cake slice, banana pudding, and a chocolate cheesecake slice.

Big Ben’s Cheesecake

Forget what you think you know about cheesecake!  Not only is it the best I’ve had, it comes with unlimited toppings. I’ll say it again:  the cheesecake comes with unlimited toppings! Even ice cream!  I added Oreo, hot fudge and whipped cream to my slice. This is one of those times when you hate being a good example for your children. I totally hated sharing that cheesecake.

Big Ben’s Honey Bun Cake

The honey bun cake is even better than it sounds and came with a full recommendation from one of the servers.  My family only left me a small bite of the cake, but that bite was so good. The cake was moist and it was just the right amount of sweetness. I would definitely try this again. Ben also makes a lemon pound cake that is very popular with regulars.

Big Ben’s Strawberry Cake with Buttercream

The strawberry cake with buttercream icing was a huge hit with my family. My daughter has just discovered she loves strawberries. The cake had big juicy chunks of berry baked into it. This cake makes me excited to try the other flavors Ben makes, red velvet, chocolate, and key lime. Keisha, one of Ben’s fulltime associates, insisted that I try the key lime cake next time. It’s a hit even with people who think they don’t like key lime!  There are also cupcakes available in these flavors plus an Oreo flavor.

Big Ben’s Banana Pudding

Now, on to the banana pudding – my husband’s favorite. Apparently, they can’t keep them on the shelves!  I was told they started out with 80 orders for the day and they were already down to six, with 4 hours to go.  Judging by my husband’s reaction, I can see why!  He says it’s light and fluffy and creamy and wonderful and might even be better than his sister’s recipe.
