It’s a hard NO from me—mostly because of how arrogant and unprofessional they act. Unless you truly don't care whether the cake you order actually looks like the picture or something else entirely, I'd steer clear. Around here, there's this unwritten rule where everyone plays nice until they get settled in—and then suddenly, they think they can just do whatever they want without a second thought.

Okay, look—that’s still $2,500 less than what those other places are charging. I had a feeling it might be a bit lower, but $5,500?! Seriously, have we all just lost our minds?
Also, can someone shoot me a DM and let me know which bakery this is?

Successes, failures, everything in between—what have you all been paying for wedding cakes and where did you get them? I’ve been scrolling through old threads, but I can't find anything super specific. We need a cake for 250 guests, and I checked with one bakery earlier only to be told it would cost $1833, which honestly feels like way too much to me.

Can anyone recommend a solid private dentist in Tampa? I’m looking for someone who actually does great work but won't completely break the bank either!

That sounds like it might be a Bartholin gland issue—I think I got the name right? My sister actually dealt with something similar just a few months ago, so it's definitely been on my mind. If I recall correctly, you might already have a thread dedicated entirely to this topic, so you should probably go dig through your old posts and see if there's anything helpful in there.

Does anyone happen to know where I can pick up some gift boxes? I need them for some cookies I'm making. Please don't suggest the boutique near the mall—I actually went there to reserve some specifically, but they ended up selling them out from under me, so now I'm stuck empty-handed... 😢

I'm looking for dimensions around 14x14 cm and 8 cm deep. The ones I saw were $2.25, and a local packaging company sent me a quote for $6.50 plus tax 😲

Check out the bits and pieces shop in Suburban Chicago; they usually have all sorts of varieties.

I actually ordered mine through eBay, and honestly, I couldn't be happier with it—but let me tell you, those younger crowds who go for all those bits and pieces? They end up just being servants to them, since they're kind of poorly made

Michael Palmer862 said:I've been reading this thread for a while now and I'm genuinely confused. Why am I expected to bring desserts with formal documentation instead of just making them at home? Why would a restaurant demand pastries that come from a registered business rather than just being homemade?
😕😕😕😕😕

In my experience, when I talked to the folks at the restaurant, they told me they needed me to sign a formal statement—basically a waiver saying that I personally guarantee everything about the cakes, so if a health inspector ever shows up, they aren't held responsible for what I made.
