Grandma's Oven — Restaurant in Aylmer

My wife ordered a custom made cake for our daughter's 7th birthday. My daughter wanted a "five nights at Freddy" cake and they are not common. I was NOT on board with the idea of spending such a large amount of money on a cake. I left it completely in her hands so I was not part of the customization process. When I asked, my wife said the customer service was far above all of her expectations. The parking lot and inside were both quite busy when we went to pick up. The parking spots also seemed to be shorter then normal.

Now for the actual review of the product. The birthday cake looked amazing. It was like one of those cakes you would see on one of those 'the best cake' television shows.

We rented an escape room for the party. One of the staff saw the top of the cake through the box lid; then ALL of the staff, as well as the owner, came into the party room for the unboxing. The cake was so beautiful it felt like I was destroying a work of art when I cut into it. I will include pictures so you can see what I am talking about.

Although stunning I was disappointed that it was all fondant on the cake. I have hated fondant for my entire life.

Well, until now that is....

The texture and taste was absolutely amazing. The fondant was not only ediable it was the perfect flavour to compliment the cake. Everyone must have agreed with my opinion because it was devoured quite quickly by all.

The quality and flavours were perfect and the cake was easy to cut without damaging the shape. There was also so much more cake left then I had imagined. Everything on the cake was edible except for the wooden sticks holding the top character together and the plastic support tubes in the bottom layer. We shared with everyone in the building and also took home 3/4 of the bottom layer. (We did not offer doggy bags, lol.)

It literally blew everyone away. Us, the guests, the parents of the guests, the staff/owner, and most importantly, our daughter.

I was so impressed I have already agreed that my wife could order another...

A few issues here; we have been faithful customers of grandmas oven since their small shop on king street, as they grow the quality of baked goods here is getting worse, first I'll list what they still do well: cream pies, cupcakes, cake pops, bread. The items that need work are any and all cookies, they all get made way too thick and custom cakes often dont come out as expected but "good enough" I dont think they deserve a 1 star reveiw based on these complaints alone. But after reading a interview the owner did with the news I can't in good concious continue to support a shop who blames the community who supported them in their tiny shop in King st. for the drop in their "VIP's" customers who come from out of town. She could have blamed Covid itself or government restrictions but instead she turned on the people who helped make her business successful. The advice I would give is if you think your city customers are so much more important and you think your community is holding you back move your bakery...
