Gateaux, Inc: almost too awesome for words. Then again, maybe the first word should've been: expensive. But, if you're prepared to shell out for an amazing cake, you can't go wrong with getting one from here. Robin runs a tight ship, and when I met her, she was clearly a thoughtful perfectionist that could get the job done with flying colors (and then some). In fact, I felt part of the extra cost over a run-of-the-mill cake baker was justified with the fact that I knew from the first meeting that this was one part of the event I wouldn't need to worry about at all. Aside from the first brainstorming meeting, choosing our flavor selection, sending inspirational photos/swatches, timing and payment, there was no extraneous follow-up needed, no info mix-ups, no dramarama with other vendors &c. This was especially a treat since I was planning long-distance.
Oh, and I'm told the various flavors were also delicious. I have to admit, I didn't get to try much of it, so I'm really excited to try the top of the cake in about a year..
As Jessica A. said in her review, while the cake is (mostly) gone and eaten, it'll be a conversation piece for years, I'm sure. These folks were probably my favorite vendor, of all the ones I had to deal with. read more
