For some reason finding a cake was the hardest part of my wedding planning. I tried a couple of places and really didn't like the cake (who knew that was possible). I also found a lot places I wanted to try were already booked on my date, even... 4-5 months in advance. Or, the one I disliked the most, some places made me feel my design options were very limited because I did not want fondant, we just don't like it!
But then I found The Makery. My dad and I went for a tasting and were very impressed. Neither of us cares for chocolate cake but we both agreed that the chocolate cake at The Makery was amazingly tasty. My dad fell in love with the white chocolate cream cheese frosting and it became a requirement. For anyone debating, it is definitely worth the extra money!
When it came time to discuss our details we only had a vague idea of what we wanted, but we gave that to Erin as well as our color swatches and away we went. She did not limit our design based on our not wanting fondant and she never tried to force it upon us.
Now the strange thing about the cake is that you never see it before the day of. That is a little unsettling, but the moment it came in it was everything we wanted it to be and more. Our vague vision was there in real life just as we had imagined it to be. It was delivered on time, set up and ready in no time at all, and they even gave us a cake to take with us to the hotel that night.
The cake was, as we expected, delicious. We received rave reviews on the frosting from people who do not like frosting.
I would highly recommend the Makery to anyone who finds themselves in need of a beautiful, delicious, cake.
