Our wedding cake was included in our per person headcount with our venue. This was an added bonus and one last vender I had to search for. I made an appointment for my husband and I to go to buttercooky for a tasting, and was excited to get thi...s taken care of. The debate was on, red velvet or canoli cream!
The appointment was set, and we were going to try 4 different types of cake. We arrived at the bakery, and they had no appointment for us, no cake samples were prepared and the young woman we were dealing with gave us an attitude and was completely disrespectful. We ended up working with a manager, who had the bakers bake samples for us to try, but the taste in our mouths was so sour from the experience, that we really were not able to enjoy the tasting.
I had fears that my wedding cake order would not be put through, or lost, but the manager said that she would take care of this. Of course, it was not told to use until this day that red velvet was extra, but we decided to do it anyways.
They also had a book of cakes that were included, so we selected one of those. I had brought a picture with me of fondant flowers that I wanted to include, they charged extra for that as well, but I wanted them so we added that on.
The cake arrived, and it looked ok. It was not like the display picture that they had, and the flowers looked nothing like the pictures I had given the bakery as a reference. To be honest, it wasn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things on my wedding day, but I do realize to some it might have been a huge deal.
The cake was delicious, but the appearance was not what I requested, and the service was not great as well.
Not much went wrong with our wedding planning, so I am thankful, but this experience was unpleasant. I would not recommend buttercooky bakery, and will probably not use them for other events moving forward.
