This has been my favorite part to date! I decided it was time to pick a cake! So i made appts at 3 top bakeries in the metroplex. Delicious Cakes, Frosted Art Bakery, and Romano's Bakery.At the fist apt, at DC, Alison came with anthony and i to taste yummy treats. I thought it was strange that when i made the appts not a single bakery wanted to know what cakes we wanted to try. but i thought oh well and went with it. Well at this first shop, we got a list of all the flavors and were allowed to choose 8 flavors of cake to try. So we piked the best sounding 8 and the flavors we liked here boiled down to the double fudge chocolate for anthonys cake and the strawberry and white-white cake for my cake. Alison was surprised that I didnt rush to make the order and go ahead and sign the contract. well... i had two more appts lined up and i wanted to make sure i was getting the best cake for the best price. the lady that helped us was nice enough and at that time seemed to know what she was talking about so we left there feeling pretty good. only minor thing that bothered us was how much they were going to charge for anthonys scuplted cake. they didnt even want to sculpt most of it they wanted us to bring in the parts... its like why even bother!?
so the next week Anthony, MY DAD (yes he actually came to a cake tasting! as a matter of fact both of our dads have been to at least one part of the planning. its kinda cool) and I went to frosted art bakery. they are located in the design district so when we first got there we totally thought we were in the wrong place. But with the huge decorated van we found the right spot. it was a really small place, COVERED in cakes. there was one cake that had to be 10 feet tall! When we sat down with the cake planner she was actually really interested in both the cake designs we picked out and got really excited. This place was a lot more professional. They brought out 10 different cakes in bite sized pieces one plate per person instead of us all munching on the same pieces like we did at the first place. she then went on to tell us HOW to taste it to get the optimal flavor. I really like the Italian cake but since anthony doesnt like nuts that was out. so we picked two flaovrs for me and two chocolate flavors for him and they said they would sculpt the whole cake unlike what the other place had told us. now you could tell the difference in the cake places with the price. but id much rather have someone who really knows what they are doing, more professional and better tasting even if it costs a little more.
the last place we went to it was me anthony and my mom. this place was just so unprofessional and bordering on rude. they had lost their cheat sheet so they didnt know which cake was which on the plate... hello its your cake you should know! they also didnt want to sculpt the whole cake. and their unprofessionalism was bordering on just plain rudeness! Even though it was ok cake and the cheapest price, we will NOT be ordering from Romano's Bakery. I;m surprised they made it into Dweddings best cakes. Then to make things worse! the lady had the audacity to ask us to sign the contract right then and there.
So we will be going with Frosted Art Bakery. and Each tier will be a different flavor, even in the grooms cake. another awesome thing about this bakery is that they will completely replicate our top tier a year out so that we dont have to save the cake for our anniversary... this is complimentary.
so i really do get to have my cake and eat it to!
