After 20 plus years of buying 3/5 cakes per year, I will never go back to this bakery. How I miss…read morethe days when Tom still owned this bakery (before his family took over). His customer service and his attention to detail were outstanding! Even after he sold it to a family member, I continued buying my cakes there, as it's been a family tradition for decades. Birthdays, graduations, baby showers, congratulations cakes, and a few holidays throughout the year, we get our cakes here and would always send business their way. But, throughout the years after Tom left, we noticed the quality and quantity not only of their customer service, but also their cakes decline. The sponge got thinner and thinner, as the price steadily continued going up. Basically half the sponge for double the price, but the flavor we all had gotten accustomed to was still the same so we continued buying cakes there. Then a few years back we noticed even the favor and the most basic of decorations started to decline. A basic cake that once had a trim and a few colored flowers, were no longer. "Who wants an all white buttercream cake?? That looks unfinished??" Cakes are purchased for celebration, and instead they are now, with no effort AT ALL just providing these cakes with no decoration at all. Plain, with chocolate writing, that's it that's all. Nowadays, I can get a tastier, better decorated cake at Walmart, and for a 3rd of the price! They have completely destroyed Tom's legacy! And if that's not bad enough, the customer service is now horrendous! I went in to pick up a cake; When I arrived, I asked if the cake was ready as the ones in the fridge didn't look finished or like anything I had ordered. The young lady at the counter tells me it's ready and proceeded to pack up the most hideous plain cake I've ever seen. I paused and asked her, why wasn't it done as ordered? I stated for it to be done in blue (as it's always been done) blue writing, blue, trim, a few blue flowers, and of course the writing (a pretty basic and standard cake, nothing fancy). She looks at a note and tells me "well, we can fix the writing but it's going to look ugly" no apology for their mistake, just this look on her face, like it bothered her that it was brought to her attention. Then I showed her photos of previous purchased cakes (from there) and she stated well, I've never seen you here... well, I hadn't seen her either, still doesn't change the fact that... 1. It was done wrong and the cake was not what I had ordered... 2. That she had a horrible attitude. People like her is the reason small shops like this one go out of business. No one wants to have their time wasted, and give up their hard earned money for a "professional" service to be provided and met with mediocre service, the wrong order, and on top of that given an attitude and asked to pay extra to correct their mistakes and confusion; if I wanted as ordered! AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE WE'LL NEVER RETURN. WE'RE TAKING OUR BUSINESS AND OUR MONEY TO AN ESTABLISHMENT THAT TREATS THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH COURTESY AND RESPECT, THAT DOESNT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS WHEN INTRUSTING THEM WITH OUR BUSINESS ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS OR EVENTS. They should be ashamed of therselfs, and they should seriously look in to new hires! Save yourself the hassle of having to deal with the same kind of experience, and go elsewhere!

One of the very few good things that did come out was this vendor. With this horrible heat during the Mexico game and basically no shade at all for the VIP section, we were left thirsty and craving something delicious to hit the spot. Swirlies came in clutch during these times of need. Had to order 6 vanilla-flavored ice creams, some with some chocolate drizzle, and when I tell you, they hit the spot! Wow! The ice cream was so good, and the service was good and quick, and the cashier was sweet, answering all my questions about their ice cream since I had never tried it before and had questions regarding size and options for kids. All was answered kindly and timely; we were charged and had all 6 ice creams within 5 minutes of paying despite the long lines and despite them selling out all weekend. Swirlies is an ice cream truck you don't want to skip; if it's located at any event you are at, you must try it out. You will not regret it. I ended up eating my own and my kids', who could not finish it because the portion was top-notch. 10/10 ice cream; highly recommend.

The cake was definitely quality we rented the fountain from them they delivered it set it up and we returned what we rented and got the deposit back. our cake was for 100 people and with the cost of the deposit and the delivery fee it was $400. Another important factor is the place where they delivered had no elevator and no escalator and there were stairs so the fact that they did all that too without charging us extra was such a relief. everywhere I went was at minimum $800 and that wasn't even for the amount of people that we asked for. The pictures are old school but that's what we were going for the fountains are definitely a day to think but they said you can give them a picture and they can do whatever you want. When I return the fountain I did see a really beautiful butterfly cake that someone designed I wish I would have taken a picture of it. Come here if you want a delicious cake for an affordable price in these crazy times! Our flavors were mango and vanilla chiffon and strawberry vanilla chiffon and then the middle cake was both of those flavors combined. Super light and Airy not too sweet just the right amount.

There were many things that I wish would have gone better with communication regarding flowers that Maryn was supposed to place on the wedding cake. Maryn had contacted two of my bridesmaids who weren't aware of the flower situation and the cake until after Maryn spoke to them and they spoke to me. Maryn claimed she spoke to people at the venue (they had nothing to do with the order so didn't know anything). Immediately after not getting answers she left without placing flowers on the cake leaving three bare white cakes. She made no attempt to contact me (the person who made the order) until after she already left. My bridesmaids knew the situation after getting in touch with me and made many attempts to reach her but because she quickly left and wasn't responding to our calls. We were never able to resolve the situation and the cakes were left as is unfortunately. Communication was fine up until the end when it mattered most. She has an automated answering machine that won't let you get into direct contact with her and the only other way to reach her was email. I'm really disappointed that this happened to us on the day of the wedding. We had confirmation that she would be there at 3 and my husband arrived at the venue at 3:05 so within that timeframe she was already gone.

They post their location for the day on instagram. I ordered an original funnel cake for $8. Once I ordered, I watched them make my funnel cake on a table in the back. I asked for extra powdered sugar and whipped cream. The funnel cake was delicious. The exterior had a nice light crunch while the inside batter was chewy and milky flavored. The addition of whipped cream and powdered sugar added a nice fluff and sweetness. Best part was that the funnel cake was hot and freshly made. Overall, it was a good funnel cake. My only dislike was that the funnel cake was pretty small for $8. I've had cheaper funnel cakes that were just as good but not as expensive.
