Did you guys go in for a tasting, how did you handle the logistics/planning, and were you actually happy with the results? I'm feeling a bit hesitant about making the trip out to Indianapolis if I'm not going to get anything else done while I'm there.

they usually ship their stuff to Walmart (at least in my area), so maybe just hit them up and see if they deliver to a Walmart near you. might solve that whole tasting issue...
We picked up their wedding mix at the expo and tried it once we got home. Based on that, we decided to book them. Since we were driving through Indianapolis anyway, we stopped by to ask for a tasting of their cream cakes and wedding cakes. They gave us four pieces to take home, so we signed the contract and paid the deposit right then and there. I plan to handle the rest via email or phone.
Honestly, try to get your hands on some of their desserts if you haven't already. Regardless of what anyone else says about them, they might be perfect for you. Plus, it gives you a chance to see how they treat you in person 🙂
Alright, here’s my update 🙂
We stopped by Absum today. They wanted us to taste their cream cakes since we picked up that wedding dessert spread at the Arena last week—which, by the way, passed our inspection with flying colors. We tried the Ice Wind, the Ferrero Rocher, the nougat cake, and the triple chocolate. Personally, I was obsessed with the nougat cake; it was so rich I almost couldn't breathe, but it wasn't overly heavy 😁. My partner is the resident expert on the Ice Wind and he loved it (I liked it too, but I was totally won over by the chocolate). The Ferrero Rocher and the triple chocolate were both executed really well, but they just aren't quite my style. That triple chocolate has this hint of orange that reminds me a bit of Jaffa cakes.
So, we went ahead and booked them. We’re going to do their dessert station (using the cakes from the wedding mix, those little cups, and the fruit baskets) plus a cake. Our plan is to go with a "dummy" cake setup where only the top tier is an actual Ice Wind cake for our table and the parents' table. For everyone else, we'll serve the assorted cream cakes (we're definitely doing Ice Wind and nougat, but we still need to come up with two more flavors).
Hopefully, this helps someone out, since you all were such a huge help to me 🙂
Sure thing, I'll let you guys know tomorrow! :-D
Thanks, everyone! :-) I'm going to give those creamy cakes—well, more like a whole cake—another shot this Saturday. If everything turns out alright, we’re definitely buying it!
So, I was at the arena last weekend and gave it a shot. I'm just wondering, though—has anyone actually hired them lately? Are they reliable when it comes to sticking to their word?
Hey everyone, does anyone have any recent experiences with Absum cakes? I'd love to hear what you all think.
Is there a cure for Zemljić bakery from Ann Arbor?
I’d love to hear some honest opinions and personal experiences regarding Kašnar 😉
