Wedding cakes and desserts

They’re hosting another open house there this weekend, so if you're interested, definitely go check it out. It's free to sample, haha. If we're talking about the Grand Marnier one (in that suburban neighborhood in Washington, D.C.).

Has anyone here tried the Grand Marnier cakes or pastries?
I'd also love any recommendations for a good bakery that offers delivery in Washington, D.C. 😁

I had some of their treats at the WG fair, but I wanted to see if anyone here has actually hired them before. Basically, does everything go smoothly with the contracts and the actual delivery on the big day? 😁
Here is my experience with Grand Marnier 🙂
When you're dealing with a wedding, the actual flavor of the cake becomes a secondary thought compared to the stress of having a cake delivered that looks nothing like what you ordered, especially when the shop just shrugs and says "no problem" during the initial booking. When you politely ask (well after you've already paid the bill) why the cake is so wildly different from the design, you get an answer like: "it's basically exactly like the picture, except for the roses, and maybe the color, and maybe the shimmer around the roses." 😁 Their professionalism and customer service are honestly bottom-tier. If you're expecting a cake that matches the perfect photos on their website, prepare to be disappointed, because it seems like they just ship out whatever is convenient for them most of the time. All in all, it was a huge letdown, both in terms of the wedding cake itself and how they handled being told something was wrong.
