No concern there just an fyi if you send an email inquiry. Brandy worked with my request, yellow Minnie cake for my three year old and the cake was beautiful. I wish the yellow was more vibrant, but that's a minor critique. The only really issue was that the cake was dry and lacked flavor. It's a real shame it doesn't taste as good as it looks.

My son & his wife used this bakery with a poor outcome. (Ordered naked cake, received thick enough…read morefrosting to give an elephant a coma). However, I will share my own experience. They paid extra for gluten free/vegan & gluten free/keto cupcakes so those of us with dietary restrictions could enjoy dessert. First, the color was awful & nothing close to what they requested. (See other reviewers who also experienced leprechaun green when requesting different shades of green). Aside from the color, they tasted awful. All of us with dietary restrictions were so disappointed. I have been gf over 15 years & took one bite & spit it out. I went to another table & those at that table (vegan/gf) had not eaten more than 1 bite. Unfortunately, even 1 bite that included the green frosting stained our tongues, lips & mouths. This was present in pictures throughout the night. As a warning to anyone considering using this bakery for your wedding: read reviews & know that you & your guests with & w/o dietary restrictions will be better served with another bakery. Luckily, an Albany bakery knocked it out of the park last minute for 1/2 the price & that included delivery & set up over an hour away!

TLDR: The cookies are Fantastic!…read more Stopped in here after brunch at a nearby spot. I have heard via the internet that Sewell Sweets has the best chocolate chip cookies in Salem. Since the internet never lies, I had to verify for myself. I wasn't disappointed! Are they the best? I'll have to continue my research to say definitively. The cookies are fantastic! I will definitely be recommending Sewell when the discussion of cookies comes up, which it frequently does during conversations with me. Service was quick and helpful when we asked about a cookie that we didn't understand. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about but all I wanted was a cookie so no problems there. If you are looking for quality cookies or anything else to satisfy your sweet tooth, look no further. Well, stop here, enjoy your treat and continue your research, but you'll be back to Sewell Sweets.

I paid well over a month in advance, in full and made arrangement for pick up as I was coming in from out of state. How was it?

When I called I was hung up on, 3 times. Finally get an e-mail with an apology and promise of refund, but so far it's been a no show, like the cake. I do not recommend sweet couture.

As of yet, their online presence is on Instagram. You can make reservations by messaging on there or by calling. I would recommend reservations. And make sure you are contacting the business located in Salem, Oregon. There is another business by a similar name in another state. The atmosphere is lovely, think an enchanted Victorian style tea room in a forest. Piano music was playing in the background. The owner is incredibly friendly and made us feel welcomed and at home right away. The tea selection runs towards flavored teas, but there are some more traditional offerings as well. I went with the Darjeeling, and my tea companion selected a Forest Berry Pu'er. Both were excellent! Each person gets their own pot of tea. Soon after the tea was served, the soup arrived. It was a nice addition to the tea tower items. The day I went it was a lemon chicken and wild rice soup. It was amazingly good! Wonderful flavors and the perfect amount of soup. The rest of the food offerings came soon after. There were four savory items: chicken salad sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches, cucumber sandwiches and a creamy salmon spread on crackers. All were fresh and excellent. The cucumber sandwiches had strawberry slices along with the cucumber, which was a different but good addition. Next were the scones, served with a clotted cream facsimile and apricot preserves. Real clotted cream is notoriously challenging to obtain or make in the US, and the owner admitted that she had found a reasonable alternative. I appreciated her frankness, and felt like her recipe was an excellent substitute. The scones were rich, had the perfect pull-apart texture, and melted in your mouth. The apricot preserves was perfect with the cream and scones. Lastly, there were orange glazed Madeleines and lemon possets with a strawberry compote on top. A posset is a dessert where sweetened cream is thickened to a pudding-like consistency by the addition of lemon juice. Both desserts were delicious! The posset was especially delicious and the strawberry topping went well with it. The service was awesome; the owner chatted about the food and the recipes and checked in many times to see if we needed anything. The amount of food was just right, and was comparably to a hearty lunch. This place is fantastic! I am so happy to have a place to get a wonderful, traditional afternoon tea here in Salem. I will absolutely be back!
