The Flour Garden

icing and mostly just wanted the cake to taste delicious for the guests. I was not disappointed! We had a gorgeous 3 tier wedding cake and lovely groom's cake—both were a hit. Laura set aside our extra top layer of wedding cake to be frozen and saved for our anniversary & we are looking forward to enjoying it in a few months! Thank you again Laura and the Flour Garden for our delightful cakes and smooth experience.

and was impossible to get in touch with. About a month after our meeting to discuss cakes, I had called her requesting a change to the groom's cake. I had decided that I wanted to surprise my husband and asked her to make it in the shape of a "V" for Villanova, my husband's alma mater. I preferred a sit down to discuss the changes in detail, but Laura assured me another meeting wasn't necessary, that she added the changes to her notes, and that she could easily do it and was excited. Foolishly confident that Laura would deliver what she promised, and distracted with the many other details of my wedding, I did not touch base with her about the cake after that. I left it in her hands trusting that she was a professional, a person of her word, and would get the job done- BIG MISTAKE! As the wedding drew nearer, I realized I had not paid the remainder of what I owed for the cakes. I could not get in touch with Laura at the shop and had to get her cell phone number from my friend just to get ahold of her. I texted her and she responded that she was busy and would get back to me later with the final amount so that I could write the check. She didn't. Again, I am the bride in this situation and she is the vendor, and I am having to hound her just to pay her! That is how disorganized, unprofessional and difficult to work with she is. Because she never responded with the amount, I was not able to give her a check prior to the wedding. I even texted her two days before the wedding and she still did not get back to me in time. When did she text me back? At 4pm on my wedding day!!! This is after the ceremony, as I am riding the bus from the church the reception venue with my husband and our friends. She texted me that she is at the ceremony venue with the cakes, and demanded her check. I had to spend time I should have been drinking champagne with my new husband and friends frantically making calls and trying to locate my checkbook. On top of stressing me out on my own wedding day with her failure to communicate, it was completely humiliating having her show up to the venue demanding payment, making it seem as though I tried to get away with not paying her! It gets worse. After she's left, I go inside to discover that she did not make the groom's cake we talked about- AT ALL! Rather than the V shaped cake she assured me she would make, she delivered a plain, round cake, and placed a Villanova logo on a toothpick in the middle! We called her after the wedding to share our disappointment. She claimed that she provided the cake she promised, and said only that she would consider refunding us $50. She didn't even follow through on that insulting offer. She had also said in our meeting that she would save the top layer of the cake for us for our one year anniversary. She did not. It is gone forever. Laura completely ruined a special surprise I had planned for my husband, stole valuable time from me on the most important day of my life, embarrassed me, and denies having been unprofessional in any way. I do not recommend her to anyone.

details, all the way up to the pebbles on the shore, were phenomenal. Overall, excellent craft, professional and friendly owner, and DELICIOUS cake!

but what you cannot see is what a beautiful, kind person she is. A florist upset me badly, but Laura was so kind and she directed me to a different florist, Everbloom, who did an outstanding job. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with her. I highly recommend using Flour Garden.

deas I found on pinterest. Not only were my wedding cake and groom's cake beautiful, but they were delicious! One of my guests commented that she had never been to a wedding where all of the cake was eaten!! Don't waste time going to any other bakery!!

appliques I wanted DETAILED and DAINTY PIPING IN AN OFF WHITE PINK COLOR ON MY IVORY CAKE AND SHE PUT BIG FAT UGLY FONDANT APPLIQUES all over the thing!!! And as Far as the Peacock goes she totally DISREGARDED my color scheme and the peacock face and comb were not right (NOT THE RIGHT COLOR YET AGAIN!!!) And the cupcake tail DID NOT go around the front like I asked a MILLION TIMES!!!! But If all of this wasn't enough.. I tried to call her constantly weeks before the wedding to ensure it would be perfect and she NEVER called me back and I stopped by the store and she was NEVER there!! I had to hunt her down and harass her with phone calls just to PAY HER!!!! AND HONESTLY I PAYED HER FOR NOTHING!!!! She Ruined My Wedding and I can never EVER get that Day Back... Please avoid her unprofessional "business"at all costs If you actually want a special day. (ALSO AS A SIDE NOTE SHE ONLY ACCEPTS CASH OR CHECK SO IF YOU HAVE A DEBIT CARD BE SAFE CARRYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF CASH AROUND THAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GIVE HER AND FORGET A RECEIPT LOL, ALSO SHE NEVER RESPONDED TO ME AND THE CAKE JUST SHOWED UP IN THE RECEPTION HALL 1 HOUR BEFORE GO TIME AND SHE NEVER CALLED OR CARED TO SE WHAT I THOUGHT OR EVEN A CONGRATS ON MY SPECIAL DAY BTW YOUR CAKES HERE.. WHATEVER >>> SUCH A BS BUSINESS! BEWARE!!!

than happy to accommodate my request for a whiskey-flavored groom's cake. Our cakes were absolutely stunning. They were the hit of the evening! Our wedding cake was white and strawberry with textured buttercream, decorated with a stunning cascade of magnolias made of sugar. It was just breathtaking! And it tasted delicious. The groom's cake was a surprise for my new husband. I sent Laura some photos of his golf bag and his favorite UT "game day" straw hat, and she made them both! I will never forget the look on his face when he saw his golf bag replicated in chocolate whiskey-flavored cake. He was stunned. Both of our wedding cakes looked like something off of the Food Network. I am SO impressed with Laura. I highly recommend her, and I will use her the next time I need a cake!

d her to book our wedding. She was our first and only cake-tasting meeting. Her cupcakes were delicious and a big hit at our wedding, she even made oreo (cookies and cream) cupcakes! Her pie shooters were evidently delicious too, they went so fast that we didn't get to try them, but our guests raved about them. Thanks Laura!

again at our first anniversary!

rd. Next to it was a free standing blown sugar wine bottle. It was AMAZING! Most of the guests didn't realize it was cake until we started cutting it!

the yellow cake and strawberries and had the butter cream on the inside.Everyone loved the cake-moist and delicious.Just what I wanted.Thanks so much!

then tried to call us 2 months later and I am so glad we didn't go with them. Laura was professional and is incredibly talented in her designs. She can do pretty much anything. We got my cake and our grooms cake for a little over $800 and it was well worth it. She was a little higher than the other place were were trying to get in touch with, but to me, it was well worth it. I gladly paid extra for the peace of mind. On top of the cake being wonderful, a bridesmaid of mine came with us to the appointment and is allergice to glueten and Laura brought her icing shots to the wedding since she couldn't eat the cake. I will drive the hour to Memphis for her to do our birthday cakes from now on!
