    I wrestled with whether or not to post this for a long time now. After much internal debate, I have…read moredecided to do so. Especially after seeing what she posted the day before, day of, and day after my wedding. I went there 4 months before my wedding to see if Mel could help me with my wedding cake. I was going to do the other desserts myself, but wanted someone to do the cake for me. I was trying to keep it local. She offered to do all of my desserts for a very reasonable price so I accepted. I sent pictures of what I wanted and she agreed she could do it all. There were 4 desserts plus a very small cake. I will try to keep this short. She told me that the macaroons I had requested would be something she was adding to the display case for spring and I could come in and try them once she had them in there. I called twice, messaged several times, and even went in to check and see if they were there when she told me they would be, they never were. I had to threaten to cancel to get some samples two weeks before my wedding. She always had a "reason" why they weren't done. I got the sample, finally, but they were literally just made, so I wasn't able to see exactly how the macaroons would set up. Regrettably, I agreed to stay with her because she was local and I know she was trying to build her business. Day of the wedding she brings everything in and I was luckily not there at the moment. My husband called me and told me to be prepared because I was not going to be happy. Now mind you, I had an outdoor wedding planned that due to weather, we had to change the venue 2 days before, so things were hectic to say the least. I arrived at the venue and was definitely shocked. - Chocolate dipped ice cream cones with fresh fruit were packed and ready but had to be assembled by the family helping me with food. The fruit was not at all what I asked for. You can see in the picture that I sent what I wanted. I got cantaloupe, watermelon, and honey dew with some strawberries. -Cupcake, gummy bear Champagne flutes. Quantity was correct. Cupcakes were not the right color and did not have the right frosting at all! Wrong colors for both. -Macaroons. Right color for the cookie, wrong color centers. The center was supposed to be the same color as the cookie. I ordered 24, two packs. I got 24, one packs. -Fruity pebble crispy treats were actually made correctly with the correct quantity. -The cake. What a disaster. I asked for something so simple. 8" round, as short as possible, internal rainbow layered cake, with naked white frosting. No one was going to eat it, we were just going to cut a piece out of it and then put it away to save. No other decorations because I was going to put fresh flowers on it. The cake was 8" round, but about a foot tall, the inside was rainbow layered, but it was a standard round sheet cake for each layer. The frosting, not naked and not smooth in anyway shape or form. The cake was lopsided and looked like it was going to fall over. She told me she had a family emergency and that's why things were not correct. But I see that the day before, the day of, and day after she was posting all kinds of crap and doing all kinds of other things. There are no pictures on her site of what she did, because it was embarrassing. I don't even have any pictures because I asked my photographer not to take pictures of the table. He even blurred out the cake when we cut it. I included a pic of what I asked for on the cake and a semi blurred picture of what it looked like. (Sorry) To be honest, if it wasn't for the beautiful fresh flowers, that out florist gave me for the cake, hiding the major issues, we would have opted out of the cake cutting all together. She offered to give me some money back, but I was angry at her that I couldn't even deal ok with talking to her. I'm sure this may make some people mad, but I'm just being honest. First pic is what I asked for (minus strawberries) second pic is what I got with a cut taken out of it. I don't have any other pics sorry.
