Wedding cakes and desserts

A company based out of Sacramento manages to get their products into both Billie Eilish and Walmart, so they certainly have their "logistics" figured out, I suppose. 👍
jadeeagle36 didn't you decide you wanted one of their cakes too?

I mean, I guess... maybe my nerves just wouldn't handle it on the actual wedding day? Like, no way. I think I’d be staring at the ceiling for weeks straight, just totally losing sleep worrying if that cake would show up in one piece!

Man, this reminds me of that movie that played on TV a while back—you know, the one about planning a wedding for three daughters where the guy is late with the cake? He gets lost... then after an hour of delay, he basically flies into the venue—sudden braking, barely stops, and then... well, you can imagine what was left of the cake behind him😂 Honestly, some incredibly skilled, "ready-for-anything" wedding planner managed to fix the mess... I won't even go into detail, but they pulled off something straight out of a movie. There was cake everywhere in the van😬 😬 🤣

Hey, cake experts, what’s the damage for a cake serving 100 people??
I haven't started hunting for a bakery yet, but I'm open to suggestions—just looking for somewhere affordable that actually makes good stuff. Thanks

I remember watching that too. It totally reminded me of this friend of mine whose cake got smashed at a restaurant. It fell, but thankfully they had ordered five or six other nearly identical cakes for the bridal party and the big dinner the next day. They just stacked them all on the restaurant's display stand and called it a day...
That’s why I’m planning to do the same thing just in case. You can never be too careful!

aaa 😲 , I mean, does it really happen all that often—actually walking into a restaurant and completely ruining a cake?! Honestly, what could they even possibly do to you? Good grief, now we have to live in fear of that too 😠

jadeeagle36 Could you please send me the phone number for that candy shop in Sacramento via DM?😉

Well, ladies, don't expect our cakes to start flying anytime soon. Probably...🤔

Personally, I couldn't care less what happens to the cake—as long as someone covers the damage... ugh. There are plenty of other desserts out there, and frankly, that cake was just a massive waste of money anyway.😁

I guess I don't know if they shoved the cake in the luggage compartment or if they just bought her a whole new ticket
basically, it was a cake that smelled like diesel from the bus... hmm... yuck 😲

I haven't actually made up my mind about the cake yet. The lady told me I could just let her know whenever I decide.
They showed me this photo album filled with pictures of their cakes; they aren't even that pricey and honestly, the cakes look pretty decent.

I’m asking you because I actually went ahead and ordered the cake myself—one meant for a crowd of 130 people $333. When I showed them my reference photo, they had the audacity to tell me there was absolutely no way they could replicate it perfectly. 😍 And as if that wasn't enough, they had the nerve to remind me about the fondant 👍
.

Oh, great. Just fantastic.
I had absolutely no clue they did custom cakes on demand!!!
I guess I still have until June 30th to actually make up my mind.
(Though, honestly, I’ve been leaning pretty hard toward a chocolate glaze myself)

My cake—and honestly all the pastries from Sacramento—is this "Castle" creation. It’s basically eight cakes combined to feed my crowd of 180, and $600 is... well, you know. Did you catch their flyer? That cake is right there on the front cover...
Anyway, the sweets are solid, and word is they've got the best prices in the US...

Trust me, you definitely made the right call🙏 🙏. Seriously, I can't say enough good things about them!
I know exactly which cake you mean—it's delicious👍 !!!

Gosh, could someone remind me which bakery in Sacramento we were talking about? I completely lost my train of thought 😳

edit I may have slightly mangled the name 🤣

Man, those cookies from Sacramento are actually pretty good

I didn't catch that flyer with the cake on it—do you happen to have a photo or something??

Thanks so much!

So, I finally touched base yesterday to set up an order with a local bakery for a sweet treat in a small town. We actually swung by there this past Saturday and picked up a pound just to do a little taste test. Honestly? Those cookies are incredible. Plus, the owner is such a genuinely kind guy—super easygoing and willing to work with you on whatever you need. To top it all off, they don't even charge for delivery.
