Cake is all icing, barely any cake! This use to be my favorite place to buy our birthday cakes and cookies. Not anymore. After my order yesterday, I won't be using Julie's again. I ordered a small cake and 6 cookies. It's cost over $50. I've never complained about the price before, but I was given adequate cake and well designed items. The birthday cake barely had any cake! There was more icing than there was cake. My issue wasn't the amount of icing, it was the LACK OF CAKE. Had the cake been the thickness it normally is and should have been, the icing would have been appropriate. The cake wasn't even as thick as the knife I cut it with. The ratio of icing to cake was ridiculous. There was more icing than cake. Everyone commented at the party that there wasn't any cake! All of the cakes I've bought there in the past had 2-3 times that amount of cake, so I have something to compare it to! Please see my attached picture. I've never had a cake with those proportions. It was as If they had sliced the cake in half before frosting it and only left the bottom portion. The icing was gross. It had a heavy sickening taste. Most of the people at our party scraped it off. We've never had to do that before. Buttercream icing is the only icing I've ever ordered from there. I love buttercream frosting and have had Julie's before, and it didn't bother me. This time it was gross. The cookies tasted ok, but it took two people to identify that three of the cookies were rabbits (Easter cookies). They were done so sloppy that I was embarrassed to put them out. They didn't need to be elaborately done, they needed to be shaped correctly and frosted appropriately. There didn't seem to be any care put on them at all. Just a blob dipped in icing. I've ordered other "simple" cookies from them before and they looked professionally done. The eggs were ok, although they looked more like circles than eggs. I'm giving them two stars after getting a response from the business because I use to love them and expected more from the business than trying to make it seem like it was somehow my fault for the disappointing product. I know what I ordered and should have been given better quality for the amount I paid. I'm the most upset by the incredibly ridiculous lack of cake. Guess that's a way for them to cut corners. You don't realize they cheated you on cake till you get home and cut it. My last review was 5 stars. I wasn't super impressed last time I ordered and said I wouldn't use them again, but still gave them another chance. I will definitely go somewhere else for my next cake. So will the 12 customers that were at my party. Very disappointing. For $50+ I would expect better. Please support a different bakery. There are others that give better quality and quantity, and apologize when they mess up, not say the customer didn't know what they were ordering. I don't like being insulted or taken advantage of. Go somewhere else. read more
