Hey, quick question. I just spotted this gorgeous little cookie tin online—super cute and actually affordable. I'm wondering if dimensions of roughly 5x3.5x4 inches are big enough for cookies? Like, how many homemade treats can you actually fit in there? Are you guys better off sending soft cookies or something more crunchy? Thanks!

That sounds great! We still need to nail down the specific flavor and the decor. Personally, I was leaning toward a white or dark chocolate glaze—something minimal, nothing tacky, just a really, really light cake. Thanks for the suggestion; I think I’ll pitch them that exact combo, if you don't mind!
I refuse to have a cake that's basically inedible because it's too sugary. It's for a 7-month-old, so I want it to be light. I've had cakes from Vincennes before and they were actually delicious!

Yeah

Thanks, neongardener6
So you're saying the whole thing was just sponge cake? No biscuit base at all?
And that topping—was it frosting or what?

We locked in the wine vendor at the trade show
and we're pretty stoked
for a crowd of 150 people
around $467
you can go with a thousand different flavors or just stick to one, honestly it's perfect

Thanks, Sandy
So you basically paired those two parfait creams with forest berries... personally, I wouldn't go for a super biscuit-heavy cake if it's being served with that kind of parfait or mousse! Anyway, tell me, was it actually any good?

neongardener6 .... Where on earth did you guys order your cake from? I need to know if it was actually worth it. I saw you mentioned vanilla, chocolate, and berry parfait flavors—who made it and what did it run you... thanks!

A cake meant for 12 people showed up $70, and they still have the nerve to charge you extra! Between the rental fee for the stand—which they hold you liable for if anything happens—plus delivery, plus those "special" decorations, and then finding out the cake we actually liked is tiny $4.75... it’s ridiculous. And don't get me started on the hassle of giving them your name, your info, this and that...

That’s actually a solid idea!

But seriously, once we looked at the prices, they’re insane. If it’s under $2,500—$1000 we aren't even in the conversation! That is way too much to drop on a cake! Look, everyone has their own priorities, but let's be real: too much is just too much!

Just wanted to vent about my little "interaction" with Orient Bakery and Vince!

My mom called Vince the other day to check on wedding cake pricing for a certain number of guests, and the lady there said anything from $1,000 up to maybe $400 for about 120 people (depending on the flavor) including delivery!

So we decided to call Orient to compare, and this guy just snaps at us 😲 ... we're just asking for basic info—prices, delivery, the whole nine yards for a 120-person wedding—and this jerk starts talking trash ... he says he doesn't give out that kind of info over the phone 🙄 , claims others might be cheaper but they don't have the quality 😎 , and then basically brags that he's the best in the city and would come see us if everyone actually wanted his info 😠 , adding that if you want quality, you're gonna pay the price 👎 ... we were honestly stunned and just asked if he was going to answer our questions or not 😍 , but what's the deal? If I'm calling from San Diego because I want your cake, am I supposed to fly out to your shop just so you can act all high and mighty before you'll even tell me a price 😕 ??? Seriously, mister... he just does whatever he wants and hangs up on us 👎 !!! OF COURSE we're done with them. Even if they're supposedly the best on the planet, they won't be seeing us again! Look, I get that quality costs money—whether it's cakes, flowers, catering, whatever—but this attitude totally 😲 !

Just thought you guys should know 😘

Look, let's get specific about this constant exhaustion... jokes aside, tell me straight: is there actually any chance I won't wake up feeling like a zombie before work? If I hit the sack at 6 PM and sleep through the night, am I still going to be wiped out? Is there an actual fix for this, or what? 😬

Basically, my prescription just keeps climbing. I started at a 0.75 or 1.00 minus and now I'm sitting at a 3.00 and 3.50. It's honestly awful.

Alright, give me the lowdown—what’s your experience been like with prescription changes? I’m 23, and it feels like my vision gets worse every single year. My friend is dealing with the exact same thing; her numbers just keep jumping up constantly.

So, do you go with soft or hard lenses? Any recommendations on which one to pick?

What’s the price range even looking like? What kind of budget am I supposed to set aside here? And how long do these things actually last before they're trash?
I have zero clue. 😢

Thanks
So whose lenses are actually worth it? Where did you pick yours up in Austria? Is it actually cheaper over there?

Please, I really want to switch to contacts!

What’s the actual process? Like, how does this work? Obviously, I need to go see an eye doctor (any recommendations?)

Thanks

Joshua Clark, I'll get back to you either way 🙂
I was thinking about our cake—maybe we could do our initials on it? Think that's doable?

Man, I can already feel how awesome this is going to be I’ll definitely hit you up, I already have your email 🙂

Can I actually try some of these cakes somewhere first, or are you just guaranteeing they're good? 🙂

Oh my god, thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
