It feels like every time a team finally gets a clear opening, something unexpected happens to mess up the chemistry. I hate seeing a squad sit there with an empty slot when they could be making a move. Do you guys think it's better to wait for a perfect fit or just fill the gap now?

My mom had a deviated septum in her right nostril and they ended up doing the cosmetic part for her too (she agreed to it) without any extra charge.

I’m currently in the middle of making some preliminary preparations for a wedding set for 2010, and as you can imagine, I find myself increasingly preoccupied with the dessert and cake situation. Does anyone here have any firsthand experience with cakes from the Kašnar bakery? They keep trying to steer me toward Zovko, Laguna, Se-mi, or even Ineli... (I would truly appreciate any impressions or reviews you might have, and if anyone happens to know their current pricing).
Thanks,

Alright, here’s my firsthand take on their pastries.

I copied this from another forum because I can't be bothered to retype it all.
I was prompted by yesterday's conversation with Mr. Mary from the Kašnar bakery over in Dubrava.
Back in February, we put down a deposit for 25kg of assorted pastries and a wedding cake, totaling $1133. The deal was 24kg of mixed treats and a mandatory 1kg of Šubarica for our table.
The first shock hit on the actual wedding day when my husband went to pay the balance and pick up an extra 8kg of pastries for the guests. The guy working at the shop had absolutely no clue where our order was. He actually had the nerve to ask me to show him a catalog just to prove which cake we ordered! Then he calls the kitchen to ask if they even have enough pastries left. Just as I'm finishing my makeup, my husband calls me panicking because the shop has nothing—they're completely lost.
We get to the venue, and after a while, we ask the waiter where the Šubarica is. Of course, it wasn't delivered... I was losing my mind.
Then comes cake time. A waiter comes over and warns us to be careful cutting it because the cake is wobbling everywhere. It didn't even arrive at the restaurant until 6:30 PM. Apparently, they didn't even start making the cake until my husband left the shop around noon.
I can't say much about the taste since it wasn't even fresh, but the real kicker came on Sunday. My sister-in-law wanted to give some leftover pastries to the neighbors, and a couple of the packs were already moldy. What a disgrace.
I stopped by the bakery yesterday to ask for their complaint book, but guess what? They don't even have one. Isn't that supposed to be displayed clearly by law?
I called Mary, the owner, and told him everything that happened. He just had the audacity to ask me, "Where have you been until now?" I'm telling you, I am never stepping foot in that bakery again. They are totally unprofessional, and honestly, what happened to us could happen to anyone. The man didn't apologize once; he just kept shouting that it was impossible. When I asked how it was possible to need a catalog to find an order on the wedding day, he just shut up. I gave him a piece of my mind and walked out.
I just hope anyone thinking about using Kašnar's realizes they might end up ruining their perfect day.

So, I woke up yesterday with this absolutely unbearable cramping in my lower left side. Ended up in the ER at Cedars-Sinai, and they told me I’ve got a clear 4 cm cyst on my ovary. Then they sent me over to UCLA. The doctor mentioned he could either handle it with hormones or go through with a vaginal procedure.
What do you guys know about those two options? This pain just won't quit.

$27

I ordered 25kg of sweets for a crowd of 100 people

I grabbed some cookies from Kashner and they were freaking amazing

boldpanther102 said:We picked up half a pound at the fair, but they weren't great—they taste like they're full of margarine.
I see everyone here raving about Kašnar, so we bought some today just to test them out.

Oh man, I think I've had enough sweets! We're buying stuff to try every single weekend; I'm going to end up gaining weight...

So what's the deal with those Kašnar cookies? Are they actually good?

I grabbed some cookies and cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes

I picked up some treats and a cake from the local bakery in Kansas City
http://kolaci-kasnar.com/torte.php mine is number 126, but they're doing red roses on it instead

hollowangler4 said:I’ve heard nothing but glowing reviews myself, and honestly, after seeing and tasting what they offer, I can tell you the hype is entirely justified. We’re actually planning to have them handle our wedding cake through a gift from the venue, and since their pastries are absolutely top-tier, they’re our go-to choice. You really can't go wrong there. My advice? Ask them if they can whip up a couple of pounds of assorted treats for you to sample first... just make sure to reach out about a week in advance.

I’ve had their treats before, and man, they are delicious.

David Howard9 said:I actually picked up some treats from Kansas City recently, and honestly, they were absolutely delicious!!!
I'll let you know how everyone else reacts after January 31st...🙂

Can't wait to hear how they land.

I'll probably just grab some cookies and cake from that Kansas City bakery instead. Any reviews?

So I finally got around to trying those treats from Tom & Ann lately. Honestly, they have some decent stuff, but their cakes are on a whole different level. Definitely the best thing I've had in a while.www.bakery-example.com
They're just incredible.

Linda Ward312 said:Hey, does anyone have a second to help me settle a debate?🙏I’m torn between getting a wedding cake and some sweets from the sweet shop near Katica in my small town or heading over to Tom & Jerry in the suburban area.
I was honestly leaning toward the local confectionery at first, but then I had a taste of what they make at Tom & Jerry and, man, they are just delicious. 🤷

I went with Tom & Jerry because their sweets are seriously killer.👍

steelfox15 said:I’m probably about to ask a total rookie question here, but does anyone know where Kašnar is located? Also, for those who have been to Taj & Ana—how do they actually handle cake orders? Like, what’s their logic there? Is it just something like $4.00 per slice multiplied by the number of people, or do they do things differently?

Quincy is over on Sunset Boulevard, in that building on the right just before you hit the Dubuque turnaround.

Anyone else thinking about grabbing some cookies from Crumbl? Any thoughts on them?

So I swung by Baskin-Robbins today. They’ve got an insane selection and the price is only $27/lb, which honestly isn't bad at all... their delivery service and how they pack everything on those little trays for the party

restlessfox26 said:I’ve got a little report for anyone interested...
After hitting up a few bakeries, I couldn't just leave it alone—so my partner and I drove out to Sacramento to check out that Bond Fund and see what the deal was with their $18/kg pastry prices. I wanted to see if that price tag actually matched the quality...🤷
So, here’s the breakdown...
We picked up a kilogram of pastries and asked the staff (who, I have to say, were incredibly sweet) to put together a wedding sampler mix🤣 for us to try before making a final call.
The pastries look gorgeous—honestly, you just have to taste them. The flavor? Not overly sweet!!! (which is huge for me). They're creamy, and the chocolate in the cocoa ones isn't greasy at all... frankly, we're 100% sold...
Now, about the cakes...
For a crowd of about 100 people, the cake price comes to roughly $250. You can pick a stand that’s already included in the price, and they even throw in the sprayers for free.
To wrap things up, they give you a full printed list of all the cakes and pastries, and the ladies working there will actually walk you through which flavors pair best together and all that good stuff.
Bottom line: if you want to save some cash without sacrificing quality for the big day, head straight to Sacramento!😁

Do they have a website?
