I own a bakery in Pigeon Forge,Tennessee. If I could give a lower rating, I would!!! I am so mad at this company!! Denise from Cakes across America called me on November 14th, 2011.She asked me to make a cake and deliver it, as well. I did as promised. I still have not received payment for the cake. I have called many,many times to be told that they are doing the best that they can. One lady, told me that they were having a hard time paying their bills..............................Really???? This amazing me!! What makes me mad is the fact, that someone paid THEM for the cake that I made, and I delivered. It's sad to read all the other reviews, this company has taken money from all of us!! read more

I too am mad as heck, baked and delivered a cake this past January 6th 2012. I sure got their edible image fast, next day, but they cannot pay for the cake? Now I'm told they are a CLOSED business and any and all bakers will NOT be paid, PERIOD! So never again will I deliver a cake without being paid first..never...... read more

I'm still waiting for payment for a cake that I made and delivered, back in October 2011. I tried calling the phone number, and could only leave a message, and repeated emails have failed as well. I will not do another cake unless I get payment up front, as 4 months is a long time to wait, if I get payment, at all. 7/14/15 An update- I just happened across this review of mine. Still never got paid, but when I clicked on the website link, it took me to Corporate Cakes.com, and yes the person running this new company is the same person that ripped off all of us bakeries. She took orders from customers in our area (why these people didn't call us directly, I'll never know), and got paid from them. She then called us bakeshop owners, had us make and deliver cakes for her customers, and never paid us, only stringing us along, until we got tired of calling her. read more

I am a sole proprietor of a cake and confections business in North Carolina. Its been a year since I made a cake for IKEA who paid Cakes Across America, I am sure, for a $150 full sheet cake which I also delivered and I have yet to receive the balance owed on and could not even get anyone on the phone after attempting for 6 months to collect. Now today the emails I had saved in my computer have mysteriously disappeared and the phone number I have is now a completely different company..... What the Heck....!!!!! JUST MINUTES after posting the above post I got the 411 on what really happened by an actual employee from Cakes Across America. The individual stated that on February 2012 Cakes Across America walked away from their company closing their doors and leaving several bakers unpaid for services rendered. I like many will never be compensated. read more

I own a bakery in Newfoundland, Canada. If I could give a lower rating, I would!!! I am so mad at this company!!

I have done many cakes for this company over the past few years. Last year was the first itme I had trouble getting paid. It took many phone calls all the while listening to the stories of how poorly they were doing financialy. This year's Disney order, I almost did not take and now wish that I hadn't. You see, with a Disney order, not only do they ask you to make and deliver the cake, they also have you send $100 worth of drinks and supplies along with the cake that comes out of your own pocket until paid. For the first 2 months after I delivered the cake and supplies, I was told by Dottie, and many many others that "The check is in the mail". I was also told that the bill was already paid by direct deposit although they have none of my information to do so. I read a very interesting artical last week where their county of business built a building for them costing the county $300,000 and then they left the building not paying back the county. Here is the link if you are interested. http://flaglerlive.com/9202/cakes-across-america-flagler-county-airport read more

We are having the same issue the other reviews are having! They have given us bogus credit card numbers and they now screen our calls and do not answer!!! Vendors need to start getting payment up front before agreeing to do these services. read more

On July 28 2011 we provided and delivered a cake for Denise at Cakes Across America. I also purchased balloons per her request and delivered them with the cake. I have not been paid nor were my phone calls ever returned. Over the years I have provided cakes for them and was paid, but not this time. They owe me $65. read more

Hello I too was duped by this company. I have done 2-3 cakes for them and had been paid. Last time I got the call and made the cake I did not get paid and there is no way to contact them. Really crappy way to do business. Never again will I do a 3rd party cake. Lisa Argilagos -New London CT read more

I too am a small bakery business in Columbia, SC in business for 28 years. Cakes Across America, owned by Dottie Wachter, owes me $425.00 for an order of a couple hundred cupcakes delivered to a State Organization dinner at a fancy hotel. The State Organization paid Dottie, but Dottie didn't pay us.... Trying to collect has been a nightmare....one lie after another... one promise after another....this entire nightmare was going on while my husband was in the hospital with a kidney transplant and medical bills were mounting. I think the saddest part, was the betrayal... and then the young staff that she employs were being instructed to lie to us... tell us anything... take our bank account numbers to make deposits in and then promising the money is being transferred... of course it never was. She made her employees an extension of her lying, cheating, dishonest self. It has been five months... not one penny has come our way. Have you lost your soul for the almighty dollar Dottie?

We were asked to bake and deliver a german chocolate cake (you know how expensive those ingredients are). We told them the price, and were told "no problem". We still have not been paid. This was in October, 2011. We have regularly asked for payment, but have received nothing but excuses. Today I was told the company had closed, but when I typed Cakes Across America in my Browser, up popped Corporate Cakes. Guess what! The same person's name I was dealing with at Cakes Across America appears on this company's information. read more

I too am still awaiting payment for a large cake along with soda, cake server, ice bucket, balloon with helium, etc...from January 12, 2012 that was requested by Denise through a Disney order...It cost me plenty out of my pocket to deliver cake and other items as they requested...In this economy I truly understand, BUT then again if they were in trouble why would they take a large order from Disney, knowing full well that they could not pay the baker who has kept them in business over the years. Dottie or Denise kept giving me one excuse after another as tow hy I wasn't getting paid - such as we couldn't pay last months rent - other bakers need to get paid before you - It is unfortuante as I have done several cakes for this company previously and had no problem getting paid.. I have written the Attorney General although no response as yet. Am not surprised to read that they are out of business...Almost $200 is owed to me... :( VERY Unhappy. read more

I did not write the attorney general's office, I called them. What they are doing (well, were doing) is theft of services. I see several people wrote about Disney orders. Just before Christmas, my bakery had three huge cakes for a Macy's promotion. I was on vacation and my assistant took and completed the orders (we were given 2-days' notice to create and deliver three cakes to serve 100 each -- which needed to be delivered in one day). This is the equivalent of a 9- or 10-tier wedding cake -- WITH TWO DAYS' NOTICE -- but as good will -- we helped them and then nearly got bilked out of the money. Dottie said just to prepare, deliver and let them know the price. When we did, she balked saying she wasn't going to pay for it. As good will, I lowered my price and cut my delivery fee and still had trouble getting paid. But the more I read from y'all, the more I believe this is a ponzi scheme. I spoke with my attorney here in Houston about getting paid and he said it would not be worth my while to go after them becuase I'd have to file here and then hire an attorney in Florida to pursue collection. Guess that's how they make it. Collecting the money and only passing it on when push comes to shove. But let me reiterate what I did above, can we say ponzi scheme??? read more

received a cake from them that looked like a cow patty, i cant cook but i could do better than this, if i couldnt i would order from a known bakery or some one specilazing in cakes, a florist delivered this and i think one of them must have baked it to save money. read more
