Perfect Endings

I kid you not, this place does some really high quality and beautiful cakes.

At first, when I heard about the raves people (including my planner and a few other vendors we worked with)Perfect Endings was hauling in - I was very skeptical. I mean, there is only two types of cake right? Good cake and bad cake, I thought.

I figured, I'd pick what cake was generally tasty and just focus on if they could do detailed, neat cake designs for my wedding cake.

Thankfully, we went to their cake tasting and were completely blown away! It was like night and day between Perfect Endings and all the other cake vendors we did tastings at. (Which I have to add, their tasting is a very comprehensive and serious affair, lol).

Anyway, we went with Perfect Endings for our 3-tiered hexagonal wedding cake with a textured buttercream frosting and cymbidium orchids cascading down the side. Inside, the bottom tier was a rich vanilla pound cake with raspberry coulis, the second tier was chocolate-chocolate and the top tier was red velvet.

(We also ordered 3 dozen cupcakes in carrot cake, chocolate chocolate and red velvet flavor because it was just such a great value and very reasonable prices).

Only thing to note is that, yes, Perfect Endings knows they are pretty close to perfect in all things cake - so don't be turned away if you don't feel you are getting pampered treatment. They have done some very high-profile clients and so be warned you might not necessarily get warm fuzzies after meeting with them (let's say, they are not really mean, or nice - just very business oriented).

But again, all of that won't matter since the cake is amazing and you won't have to see their faces again on the wedding day!

The cakes turned out beautifully! They were very professional and easy to deal with. I was a little frustrated that I could not take photos during the tasting to remember everything, and I felt some pressure to make a decision on the spot. But the cakes were tasty (maybe a little on the sweet side), but very popular. We ordered enough for 200, though we only had 150 guests. All of the cake went within moments!

The cake was delicious, however we encountered very poor customer service after describing the simple yet classic design we were looking for... we were even told they would not want to associate their name with something "plain and boring"! It was pretty discouraging, and to top it off, while although it looked pretty, they went against our wishes and added real flowers to the cake on the day of the wedding while we were preparing for the ceremony.
