We tried some of their cakes—not wedding style, just standard ones—and honestly, they seemed pretty solid.
Yesterday my wife mentioned the price per pound is $27 if anyone was wondering.
Also, if there are any experts out there, I’d love an opinion on whether a cake looks significantly worse if you go with whipped cream instead of fondant. I've never been a fan of fondant, and we’d probably just do whipped cream on the outside, so I'm still weighing my options.

We were looking through some cake photos over at Magnolia Bakery, and I didn't really notice a massive difference between fondant and whipped cream styles... I suppose it all just comes down to the skill of the person making it!

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...🙂

The thing is, you really need the dough to be warm up there

She basically mentioned she wouldn't recommend using that specific glue at all...

We ended up getting our cake from M&M...$400 since we had about 100 guests to feed with the dessert buffet. The owner there actually gave us some really solid advice—she suggested we skip the fondant altogether and go with a whipped cream frosting instead...

I’d suggest heading over to M&M Bakery just to browse their photos; they make some truly stunning cakes.
The thing is, you won't find those specific styles on their website at all...
We actually stopped by there this past Tuesday, and while their work is absolutely beautiful, I have to admit their prices felt a bit steep to us...!

If we’re talking about Emi’s bakery over on Malešnica... I just can’t get into their sweets...
They all seem to have this exact same profile to me... way too creamy, almost like those heavy custard cakes or old-fashioned sponge desserts... I don't know, it's just not hitting the spot for me!!!!
My personal recommendation would be Kašnar's pastry shop... their treats are absolutely fantastic... they taste truly homemade, and they're such lovely little bites!!!!

We actually source our desserts through a local restaurant, which they pick up directly from the Kašnar bakery 🙂
The math works out to about 3.3 pounds per table—assuming we have 15 tables with 8 guests each—and we can pack those little individual dessert boxes with either 7 or 10 ounces of treats.
It turns out buying the cake by the pound via the restaurant is actually more cost-effective than if we had just walked in and bought it ourselves. $25Just 1kg

I reached out to Taj & Ana regarding the wedding cake, and their quote for a group of 100 people was $300, whereas over at m & m, they told me $400...

Has anyone here actually tried the pastries from Kašnar over in the coastal area, or perhaps visited Anastasia in Domaslovac? I've been curious about them...
