I followed up three separate times after the event to share my concerns and received no response at all--which really shows how little they value customer service. * I didn't receive the full list of cake flavor options until four days before pickup, and when I asked to switch flavors, I was told it was already too late because the cakes had been baked without confirming my choice. * I had a confirmed pickup time of 10:30 a.m., but when I arrived, I was told the designer went home sick and the cakes weren't finished. I ended up waiting until 11:45 a.m. for them to be decorated, which explains the rushed design. * The cake pops weren't ready, so I had to cancel them and run to another store last-minute to find replacements. * I specifically requested pastel colors, but the cakes were decorated in bright colors that didn't match anything we discussed. * The design and quality were extremely disappointing--the decorations looked rushed, the frosting was hard, and the smash cake wasn't even edible for its intended use. Overall, this was an unprofessional and frustrating experience from start to finish. Between the poor communication, lack of accountability, low-quality product, and complete disregard for customer concerns, I strongly recommend going elsewhere. They clearly do not prioritize quality or customer service.

I would avoid this establishment…read more I called on 1/27 at 12:40 PM to order vegan cupcakes for my son's birthday. The employee, Tim, told me they had 6 vanilla and 6 chocolate vegan cupcakes available. I requested 4 chocolate cupcakes, and he said I would need to prepay and that they would be ready in 15 minutes. I was surprised they could be prepared that quickly, but went along with it. We picked them up about 30 minutes later and brought them home. That evening, my son tried one and it was extremely hard, with grainy frosting. Overall, the cupcake tasted terrible. We didn't eat the remaining three and left them in the box. The next day, I returned to the shop to share my concerns and was told Tim would call me back. He did call and said they had tried a cupcake and felt it tasted fine. He also told me that I may not know what vegan cupcakes taste like. I didn't argue, but I've had plenty of vegan desserts before, and they've never been this inedible. He then explained that the batter used was leftover from a cake made a week earlier and that it's common practice for them to freeze batter and make cupcakes later. I was surprised to hear this. More disappointing was that there was no attempt to make things right or offer any solution--only to explain why they wouldn't provide a refund. I told him that was fine, but that I wouldn't be returning or recommending their shop and would be sharing my experience. If you're looking for vegan options or any dessert options and decent customer service, there are plenty of other places in the area. I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

I never had my dream wedding cake because we weren't wealthy enough to get a Professional one. I…read morehad humble expectations for this 3-tiered antique cake. It was supposed to be Top: Chocolate cake with Banana Curd filling, Middle: Lemon Raspberry cake (Raspberries baked into the Lemon cake, an inflated "Specialty") w/ Lemon Curd filling, Bottom: Rainbow Vanilla cake (an inflated "Specialty") w/ Pastry Cream filling. The cake arrived frozen. So, the entire day, in fact? It was that frozen like a rock where we literally had to chew it. The flavors? DISGUSTING! I begged them to do Banana Curd, they agreed. They did Banana Pastry Cream, instead. They do not like suggestions. Their ingredients list said that one of their "Specialties" was "Lemon Raspberry". Now? This middle tier was straight up "Lemon", NO "RASPBERRIES BAKED IN", WHATSOEVER. They claimed that they were going to "bake Raspberries into it" so I said, that's fine because then it would be "Lemon Raspberry". It was not. I'm going to attach a picture of how many raspberries were in this cake. There were maybe 2. I don't know how you screw up Chocolate cake with Banana Curd that I had to twist their arm to do that they went ahead & did Banana Pastry Cream, regardless. It was beyond embarrassing! The only "ok" flavor & I do mean "ok", was the Vanilla & that's only because I love Vanilla any thing! The up-charge for a Vanilla Rainbow cake is insane, but they put so much Pastry Cream in it? No one could even enjoy that! This cake was supposed to arrive at 1PM. It did not arrive until 1:30PM. It arrived solid as a rock while we were ready to eat it! It took hours to get a knife through it while I had guests here! I don't know if it was because it was frozen that it tasted so bad? But, it was horrid & a challenge to our teeth. So, I waited alll day until 9PM to try the bottom, Vanilla Rainbow, my favorite. It hurt my teeth it was so sweet! And, it was still frozen! It looks pretty just because I gave them a picture to copy! My dream cake still exists. This cake is not it. They did not do Banana Curd. They lied to me & did what they wanted. A layer of Pastry Cream through the Rainbow Vanilla would've been ideal, but they put a layer of Pastry Cream through each & every single color of the Rainbow cake which they also Specialized in & charged more for to do! THICK LAYERS! THICKER THAN EACH CAKE LAYER! It is so sweet, I never thought I'd say this about my favorite flavor, but what were they thinking? It hurt my teeth! I'll upload a picture of that, also? Ridiculous. They ruined the Vanilla! Let me show you how much "RASPBERRY" is in "Lemon Raspberry" cake w/ Lemon Curd filling. Also? The Buttercream on here is so thick? It is the majority of the cake. The cake falls out of it! The Vanilla Rainbow with Pastry Cream between every single color was so unnecessary. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! Here is a picture of the "Lemon Raspberry" Cake! Just look at the attached photo if you want an example of what a disaster it is! It is DREADFUL! As was the rest of the entire cake! That pink thing in the middle of the cake? It is a straw. There's 2. 2 raspberries lol. We paid a grand for this. The woman who took my flavors was snobby & not open to anything but strictly their ingredients which are basic. She rushed me into it all. I really wanted Lemon Raspberry! There was no "Raspberry"! You couldn't even taste the Banana! They lied to me & told me they'd do Banana Curd so I could taste the Banana! You cannot go wrong w/ Chocolate Banana, Lemon Raspberry or Vanilla! They did! They did so wrong? I didn't keep any for myself & gave it all away. I wasn't having a party. Only close friends & family over throughout the day, but it was frozen the entire day! It was embarrassing! I wanted a refund. They refused, then banned me, as if I'd ever be back!? They are bad business! If they had offered a partial refund or another cake? This review would be different. Instead? They scoffed at me. Charged fee after fee & upcharge after upcharge for flavors they didn't achieve! NOT PROFESSIONAL!

The pastries are on the sweeter side for sure, so having a whole one can be a lot, but that is just me. Still totally worth it. The decor inside is so cute too.
