Irresistable Cakes

I won an auction for a $500 gift certificate for $300 for Irresistable Cakes and thought it was the deal of a lifetime.

Getting a hold of someone was very tough and my now husband finally did and made an appointment. When we showed up, the store was closed. The person making the appointment obviously had no idea that they were closing shop for a few days around the Christmas holidays.

When we finally managed to get in for an appointment, everything went well. The tasting was great and everyone was really nice. My only complaint was that they wanted you to choose from already made designs with no room to choose anything but the colours you wanted it in.

I specifically asked at my appointment if the cakes were frozen beforehand and was told no.

When my husband and I arrived at the reception, we went to take a look at our cake and noticed that there were several unusual bulges on the sides and especially the top of the cake. We had to turn the cake around so that no one would catch photos of it because it was really bad. Our photographer took one photo of it before we got there and all you can see is the huge bulge on the top tier.

I was told by a guest of mine who bake regularly that the cake must have been frozen beforehand and that it was bulging due to it defrosting. The actual cake itself tasted good and we had no problem with that, but it would have been nice to have a great looking cake too.

We gave the company a call after we returned from our honeymoon and received no reply whatsoever. They would not be my first recomendation at all.
