I don't write reviews very often, but Shannon absolutely earned this one.
Last week I found myself needing a custom birthday cake for my dear friend Rick, guitarist for the amazing new old-school thrash band NEFARIOUS (seriously...check them out! ). It had to be ready in less than five days, survive delivery to Cornerstone Berkeley, look incredible under stage lights, and feed the band and crew. I honestly wasn't sure anyone could pull it off.
Someone in the Benicia community recommended Shannon, and from the first message I knew I was in good hands. She stayed in touch the entire time, coordinated with both me and the band's manager, sent progress photos, delivered everything right on time, and somehow made the whole process completely stress-free.
Then I saw the cake.
Pictures really don't do it justice. The flames, skulls, chains, custom NEFARIOUS logo...it looked like something that belonged on an album cover. Then Shannon told me everything except the cake board was edible. Mind blown.
She also made 36 matching cupcakes. I heard they were delicious...because they disappeared in seconds. I didn't even manage to grab one before they were gone!
Rick was blown away, the band loved it, and the cake is actually getting its own photo shoot before it's cut because nobody wants to be the first one to slice into it.
If you're looking for someone who's incredibly talented, easy to work with, communicates well, and delivers exactly what she promises, Shannon is it.
Thank you for helping make a really special night even better. You knocked it out of the park. read more
