I am very sad to have to write this. The Cake Lady did our wedding. We had our cake tasting and were made to wait in our car. Apparently Ashley, the owner, had to run to the grocery store. Not a big deal overall, so I let it slide, however we were not informed and it ended up being an almost 35 minute wait. The cake at the testing was good and the fillings yummy so I was excited overall. We paid the rest of our total for the cake at the tasting. The location of our venue was just across the street so there were going to be no issues with delivery. The wedding day arrives! I am the bride and getting ready at the Mayo, while my now husband is getting ready at the reception venue. We even had another person there to meet the Cake Lady at the door to let her in at 2:30 (the agreed upon time), in case my husband was to busy to catch her. She does not show. Not only that, but there is no word from her. 4:45 comes and still no word from her. The person waiting arrived back at 5:02 and still, no cake. SHE DID NOT ARRIVE UNTIL AROUND 6! Let me also mention the wedding started at 4. She was setting up the cake table while guests were already at the reception (the cake table was the center decoration for the whole reception) . My bridesmaid called her before she had arrived and she claimed the cupcakes were in her van or trunk (not sure) and she went back in to take an order, came out, and someone stole them (she was very rude to my bridesmaid when she told her this).
I have YET to hear from her, get an apology, or be offered money back. We paid a TON of money for this to be the result. The cupcakes were not filled very well and when you pay $2.50 a cupcake for regular size ones, you expect them to be worth it. On top of that, she put a hole in the top of the cake for a topper.... I told her we were not having a topper.
I have come to find out through conversation that this is not the first time she has come late to set up. I know of at least two other times it has happened with people I personally know, granted I did not know all this before we ordered through her. read more
