J ai contactĂ© la commerçante par tĂ©lĂ©phone pour lui dire ma dĂ©ception et surtout lui conseiller de goĂ»ter ses gĂąteaux avant de les mettre en vente !!

Elle a eu la gentillesse de me proposer de repasser et de me rembourser le gĂąteau ..
J ai , par le passĂ© acheter des gĂąteaux au dĂ©tail , j en avais gardĂ© un bon souvenir .. Peut ĂȘtre que depuis , un changement de personnel ? La dame nous a trĂšs bien accueillie .. sachez que je suis navrĂ©e de laisser un commentaire nĂ©gatif ..c est une premiĂšre fois pour moi !!
Une grande...
