Upon meeting with Carol for our "Tasting" she presented us with a single smidgen of almond cake and buttercream frosting while she proceeded to tell us about all the other flavors she could make. It was obvious that that cake was not fresh. However we did get to try a few other flavors at the bridal show where we first met her. She has a great variety of cake designs and is willing to work with you on how you would like the cake presented. Those options come with a Variable cost, more on this in a minute, she takes a refundable extra $25 dollars for the plank of wood she brings the cake on, refunded on returned. However make sure to check the math of her offer, while reasonable at first..She called us about 2 weeks before the wedding saying she made a mistake in her calculation and wanted an additional $58.00 because her original calculation was off and even though we had already "Paid in Full" she expected that before she guaranteed the delivery of the cake. At the time of delivery, while we we're at the alter, she told the volunteer that we left behind to hand all of the deliveries, That "he dowels she had in the cake, plus the fancy ribbon you can see around the middle of the cake in the picture, would also have to be returned or there would be additional charges...She reuses the Ribbon from cake to cake and as I said above she had already charged us extra for using it in the first place! The cake itself was a bit dry although flavorful (Lemon Cake with Raspberry filling) Not all guests got filling in their cake, it seemed unevenly distributed and again not everyone got filling in their piece of cake.
With it seeming reasonable at first cost-wise we went with Carol for our wedding cake, but with all the extras and the last minute return this or else add-ons we would have made other choices.
