Fancy Cakes By Lauren — Attraction in Dallas

Lauren made our wedding cake and groom’s cake and while the cakes tasted good, the design and overall experience with her was not what we expected from a baker with her experience and reputation. Communication is terrible and completely through email which seemed nice at first because we could send images of what we liked, but when there were questions it was hard to get an answer. The designs we ordered were not what was delivered for either cake. We ordered a smooth, all white wedding cake with a copper monogram and minimal flowers, but we received a textured white and copper cake with copper monogram and lots of flowers. The monogram was also very messy and off center. The groom’s cake was supposed to feed 57 people as it was a simple strawberry cake with buttercream icing and simple personalized design, but they delivered a cake that was completely covered in thick fondant that couldn’t be cut and was not served to guests. We were told that Lauren was made aware of the issues after the wedding, and that she said she would reach out to us but we have not heard from her at all. Overall we feel we could have ordered the cakes from another baker and received what we actually ordered for...

Definitely the most delicious cake you'll find in Dallas! We decided to go with FCBL based on taste alone, and we were not disappointed! Every flavor in their sample box blew us away, and we had a hard time choosing between them! Guests commented all night on how delicious it was, and ate so much that we only had 2 slices leftover! Our cake looked very close to our inspiration image. The manager, Melinda, was very friendly and prompt with all communications.

The tasting experience is a bit inconvenient, as their bakery hours are very limited. Trying to get up there during working hours to pick up a to-go box was difficult.

The pricing is a bit high if you only want a small cake, especially with the exorbitant delivery fee. We ended up paying it because we could not find a place to store our cake before the wedding, but I do think it could be adjusted. Maybe the pricing levels out with...

Only giving a 2 as their work is wonderful but issues with time management and communication are an issue. We contacted with baker in Sept 2020 for a 6/5/21 wedding, we wanted both bridal cake and grooms cake, we had a contact, sketches, and paid a deposit . A month before the wedding we reached out to give final head count, but we would told they no longer could do the grooms cake as designed and tried to say we should have let her know 60 day out if we still wanted it! However this is not noted in the contact or in any of the email exchanges. It was clear she just was too busy to devote to the grooms cake. We were lucky that we found another bakery that made the grooms cake so it worked it but it was very stressful and upsetting. They did do the bridal cake and it...
