Do NOT purchase from this business. I ordered from Tanya Brockmier's Etsy shop and have been…read moredisappointed and shocked at how she treats her customers. I placed 2 orders back in October 2017. One order was to be shipped in November 2017 and the second order to be shipped in February 2018. I ordered fondant flowers for my first order. It arrived ON the day of my event. For someone who wants to ship their product out as close to the event as possible, it is ridiculous to receive on the day of the event. I don't know of anyone who waits for a product to arrive on the day of their event to place finishing touches. For my second order, it never arrived and I never heard back from this seller. I, the client, contacted her at the end of January to make sure my order was still on her radar (since I know having to remember an order from October is stretching it...although, for a business owner, I expected that they have their shit together and properly write down all orders and due dates). She acknowledged my event date, so I felt confident that I will receive my items. TWO days BEFORE my event, she messages me saying she forgot my order!! She claims it's because Etsy archived the order since she sent out the first order. Except, she forgot I messaged her back in January to confirm. She sounded apologetic and said she will express ship my items, and that I will receive it on the day of my event, by noon. Although not ideal, I told her that was fine. The day before my event, she messaged me telling me a postal worker never picked up her package and that the only way to ship is through the USPS. She then tells me she can ship on Saturday 2/24 (day of my event) and I will receive it the following Tuesday (3 days AFTER my event). I told her I was disappointed in not being able to use it for the specific event but I will still take the items, as I do a lot of events and can use it for a different event. Tuesday 2/27 comes and no box arrived. Wednesday 2/28, I message her for a confirmation number, and her shop is "mysteriously" on vacation! Who doesn't see an order through before turning off correspondence?! I continue to message her until Friday 3/2, she responds, blaming the shipping issue on her "assistant" and will get me a confirmation number. It is now Thursday 3/15, and I have yet to hear back from her.
Sugar Mama Cakes is a shady business that has no business being in business. Tanya Brockmier is unprofessional and unreliable. Do not expect her to fulfill your orders in a timely manner. And to boot, she disappears when asked for a refund on the items she never sent.
*Updated review 3/16:
It's amazing that a negative review will garnish such attention. Prior to posting my negative reviews on Sugar Mama Cakes, I never heard anything back from the owner, Tanya Brockmier. My last contact with her was 3/2/18, with my 3/5/18 message back to her as the last message. She didn't respond (or bother to check her messages) until she was alerted of my negative reviews on 3/15. It took her almost 2 weeks to check back in with me and my missing package. However, she didn't check back with me on my missing package. She checked her message to tell me that my negative reviews were slander towards her company and that if I didn't receive my package, I should've contacted her. Perhaps she still didn't read my messages to her, because I inquired every single day I did not receive my package. She then proceeded to extort me for my warranted refund. She will gladly give me my refund if I take down my negative reviews. Well, earth to Sugar Mama Cakes, that is NOT how business works! But wait, it gets better, she then tells me that my package has been shipped, and I am only saying I have not received my package. Mind you, in our previous conversation, she already said she spoke with her "assistant" and her "assistant" said the package has been shipped. Yet, she didn't bother to take down the tracking/confirmation number. So, once again, I asked for a tracking number. Something that should've taken 5 minutes to get, had there actually been a tracking number, took Sugar Mama another full day. This now makes waiting on that tracking number a total of 14 days. Of course, Sugar Mama couldn't provide the tracking number and finally gave me my refund (almost 1 month since she couldn't fulfill my order and 5 months from my initial order). Honestly, save yourself the hassle and grief by not using this company. Their integrity is certainly questionable and by using someone else, I'm fairly certain you'll receive your product in a timely manner (and without the drama and runarounds).
