Look, honey, I'll give it to you straight—we did both pastries and the cake from Clarion, plus some homemade stuff and a restaurant, and we were beyond thrilled!!!

Seriously, a ton of people kept asking me after the wedding where the treats came from because they were just so damn good...

We didn't want to mess around or cheap out on this, so we just ordered everything from Clarion. We went with a mix—half bite-sized cookies and half creamy ones. I sat down with my aunt and picked out every single type and how many pounds of each we needed. A pound of the creamy ones will run you about $33, and the cookie types are $30. You can choose whether you want them arranged on trays or just delivered in big cardboard boxes.

For the cakes, we had Black Forest, chocolate parfait, and one from Clarion. I didn't try the Clarion one myself, but obviously, it was a massive hit—so many people were asking me what that "Christmas cake" was so they could order it for themselves later...
A cake for 220 people is roughly $807, depending on which flavors you pick—the parfait is, say, cheaper than those other two at $13.

Anyway, if there's anything else you wanna know, just ask...

Good luck!

Don't be lazy though... I actually just called them up and the lady said it's $27/lb if they pack everything in transport boxes, or $30/lb if they arrange them on the trays (which you return). That's the price for over 30lbs of dessert.
It felt a little weird to me that they bumped the prices up that much.. there you go.

I've got nothing to say about this. Honestly, I don't even know. I remember exactly what I was paying about a month ago, and there definitely wasn't any bulk discount back then.

Maybe they were just playing games and finally decided to chill out—who knows? Honestly, I already cleared everything up with Vincent, so I couldn't care less anymore.

Honestly, out of everything I’ve ever tried, Sugar Land is hands down the absolute best. I’ve known that for ages. But when I actually gave them a call—like, only about a month ago—they told me they were completely sold out. $40 That sounds like way too much for me... Does anyone actually know what the current price is right now?

Sean Long4 said:What kind of $33 are we even talking about here??

I was actually there about a month ago, and the owner told me that a kilo of treats goes for $28, assuming they serve them on trays $30..

Come on guys, let's not blow things out of proportion.

Sean Long4, over a month ago I paid for a pound of $33 and one $3.25 plate was the cost, assuming she isn't reusing them (those plastic ones)...

Maybe prices aren't exactly the same for everyone...

William Parker61 said:I have begun testing cake options for the wedding. My shortlist currently includes about ten different bakeries. The first was Emma's shop in Smalltown, USA, where the sweets cost $33 per pound. These cakes are loaded with margarine, which is completely unacceptable to me...

I am 100% with you on this—everyone kept raving about them to me too, but once I actually had a bite? Zero stars. Absolute trash...
