Parul Patel aka TheCakeDesigner aka "The Cake Designer" is the worst possible option for anyone to do any business with - let alone, buy a cake or a cupcake from.
Like AJ K. (review below from 10/5/2014), we were also duped into believing her hype because of her website, and media interviews. Here is a summary of our experience with the hope that no one else does any business with Parul Patel, or her company TheCakeDesigner in any shape way or form!
(1) Parul sold us on the idea of buying a much bigger cake than we needed.
(2) Arrived three (3) hours late to our event, without any notification, texts, emails. Did not bother to respond to our calls, or pick up any of our calls. Since we did not know if she will show up, we asked our event manager to ask the caterers to arrange for an emergency cake - which they did at a cost of $500 (less than Parul's $1,750 plus shipping and handling)
(3) Arrived with a different Cake than what we had agreed upon. When confronted about this, she rudely barked at my relatives and treated them like crap.
(4) The Cake was NOT SET UP and required additional 45 minutes to set up the layers/towers. Cake was NOT presentable, broken and unfinished.
(5) Cake tasted like chewy sugar coated cardboard - in fact, I would rather eat a sugar coated card board over Parul's cake.
(6) Without asking our permission, Parul forced our DJ to announce that the cake was from her company - almost a 1 minute commercial in front of 250 people. She also had the guts to leave her business cards all over the hall and around gift table/box.
Parul never apologized, never reimbursed a single dime of our money paid to her, and never has bothered to call us back in response to multiple emails, phone calls and even a letter.
We finally reached out to some of her relatives who told us that they also do not like her and that they stay away from her as she is not a nice person.
We beg all of you to please stay away from Parul Patel aka TheCakeDesigner aka "The Cake Designer".
She WILL RUIN YOUR EVENT! read more
