Cocoa Bites

First, we will talk about the positive experiences we had with Cocoa Bites. Glenda is so very sweet and her cakes are VERY delicious. We had a 3 layered cake, each with different flavors. We had a lemon cake with raspberry filling, a cranberry orange with a cream cheese filling and a plain vanilla cake. We also ordered a groom's cake for the rehearsal dinner that was half chocolate raspberry and half vanilla. All cakes were so good and I know our guests really enjoyed the cakes! Now, for the negatives. While Glenda did produce our cake and did her job, she wasn't very responsive to our emails. We had to ask her many questions instead of her telling us what to expect like pricing, verify delivery times, and other logistics. At our initial meeting, we asked if she could do an Ombre design for our 3 tiered cake, which you can see the example. We reiterated a few other times via email if she could do this design and she said yes. But our final product/design was nothing like the ombre design and our cake was kind of lopsided! When we sat down for our dinner at the reception, we looked at our cake and got kind of worried that our cake would fall over, thank goodness it didn't! As for our groom's cake (the UC cake), when my wife picked it up for the rehearsal, Glenda did not provide a box for the cake! It was a 12 inch round cake and had to carry it in the open, got so worried that it would get ruined from the drive there to our rehearsal dinner location. Again, this is something that should've been communicated with us so we could've been prepared for it. While the cake there tastes good, it's not a large scale, reliable operation because they're just local bakery. We went with Cocoa Bites because the flavor of the cakes are fantastic but the logistics and communication were kind of poor, especially making a cake for a large event like a wedding.
