Wedding cakes and desserts
in Weddings ·
We gave the pastries from Rose a shot, and honestly, they didn't really hit the mark for us. There's another bakery over in San Diego (Nautilus) that does fantastic cakes—we're actually heading there tomorrow to try their pastries (they go for about $23/lb)...
When it comes to desserts, we’re finding this to be the trickiest part of planning—mostly because we have this specific vision of having a dessert table rather than individual servings at every seat...
We also stopped by King Arthur Bakery and were pretty let down. While the sweets themselves were actually quite good, the service was incredibly unprofessional... We drove an hour just to get there because we had a prior arrangement, but the owner wasn't available, so the staff just handed us some samples. When we finally reached out to her to finalize everything and request a quote, we waited a week and a half. Since she wasn't returning our calls, my fiancé had to step in and call her himself; she finally responded saying she'd send the quote—then we waited *another* week and a half. He followed up again, and still nothing... Not even after we sent a message expressing how disappointed we were. She stayed silent until this week—a full month after she was supposed to send the proposal—when the quote finally landed in our inbox... It's such a shame, because we truly intended to book their cakes and pastries, but if they're this unreliable now, I'm terrified they won't even show up on the big day. There's just no way we can commit to them...
