Drew Foster11 said:Hopefully my experience will be just as smooth... though my family gave me a hard time when I got home. They saw she’d just handed me the treats on a plain tray and wrapped the whole thing in plastic wrap instead of using one of those clear heart-shaped containers or even a standard folding box. Honestly, you can't win with the older generation. Then, the lady mentioned that people in my meeting room are now demanding the desserts be served under silver cloches. Like, seriously? Now I have to go out and buy those too? It’s not like the food is going to spoil if it's sitting out for a bit.

As for the cakes—I can't say for sure—but one smaller one we picked up was $40, though I didn't get a count on how many slices were in it.
The little pastries go for about $3.25 each.
If you're looking for the nitty-gritty details, just shoot her an email... she’s pretty quick to reply.
Patrick Anderson4 said:I ended up ordering my cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes, since they’re honestly the only ones I've found that actually impress me with their selection..
here's a photo of what it's supposed to look like 🙂
just keep in mind mine won't have any of that fondant—I can't stand it. I much prefer a cake where everything is actually edible.
Jeffrey Barnes16 said:I have a quick question for those of you who’ve gone the route of gifting cookies as presents. What kind of boxes did you end up using, and where did you pick them up? Also—and this is the part I'm a bit worried about—did any local bakeries give you a hard time because the packaging wasn't plastic? I’ve heard some rumor that according to health inspectors, you aren't supposed to distribute treats in cardboard boxes.
Nathan Cox25 said:I’m pretty sure they don't do the boxing up in those little containers—they probably just prep everything in the back. At least, that's my guess from when we toured the venue; they pointed out a specific station near the counter where they handle all the packaging.

To be fair, I only managed to sample one of the cookies, but I certainly made quick work of two large slices of the cake. It was truly exquisite. I highly recommend her work. Here are a few photos.

I had their sweets back in March and they were honestly delicious, plus the prices weren't bad at all. Does anyone know if their prices are still $22 or have they bumped them up since then?
