Mary was very responsive on email and worked with our complicated travel schedules to arrange a "take home" tasting so we could select our cake flavors and frosting. While we didn't stretch her much as an artist (her gallery proves that she's as much a sculptor as a baker), she was very attentive to our simpler aesthetic and produced exactly the grand, elegant wedding cake we had hoped for. Our guests are still talking about how delicious it was! We had a great experience working with Mary and couldn't have asked for anything better.

My first experience with her? I called to order a smash cake for my baby's first birthday. I sent my budget and a reference photo like any normal parent would (which was the most simple and plain cake that I actually ended up making myself but better) and she laughed -- actually laughed -- and said, "Let me put it like this, you're asking for a BMW cake on a Honda budget." That's what she said to a first time mom and first time customer. I was disgusted. That moment told me everything. She acts like she's doing people a favor by taking their money. The desserts are mediocre, the food is a joke, and her public responses to reviews are even worse...petty, defensive, and dripping with the same arrogance I heard on the phone. Then there's her social media.. full of cringe-worthy videos that make you wonder how someone can be this unaware of their own attitude. And apparently she orders Instacart and doesn't even tip. It's all the same energy: take, brag, and belittle. If she ever treated customers with even a fraction of the respect they deserve, she might actually have a good thing going. But for now, her reputation matches her product.. stale and hard to swallow.

First of all, we had to wait a while to even be greeted by anyone, second, my GF Apple nacho dessert was just a poorly cut apple with part of the stems in it, no one explained to me that I was able to put the toppings on myself, I had to deduce it myself and ask, my dad's coffee tasted like bathroom water, they didn't even have sugar available for the disgusting coffee, which by they way got both my husband and my father sick, the cake was very dry, and the cheesecake was okay. The customer service is just mediocre, and the worst part is the price. I feel like we just had been robed. $33 for 3 desserts is absurd, and the cherry on top is that you don't know how much they'll charge you until the end, and on top of that, they even expect a tip! Which we have not to be rude, but we will never again spend our money on this place. Don't waste your money!
