Granny's Bakery — Restaurant in Celina

Really hate to be this person.. but the truth is the way to go. We met with someone to discuss wedding details. We ordered a small cake and a sheet cake for my wedding. While making plans they wrote down all the details and let us review them. We also had the number to text for other details such as photos. Many things were wrong but I’d like to start off with.. we set a time and date for someone to come pick up the cake. They said the day of the wedding at 10am for pickup. With of course being super focused and busy on setting up the wedding we somehow totally forgot to pick up the cake. What I’m extremely disappointed with is the fact that the bakery knew this was a wedding cake. set a time and date but never called or messaged after the time had passed to remind us? Not a single reminder. As I’m adult enough to acknowledge that yes we were meant to pick it up being partially our fault but I do personally feel like they should take responsibility for the lack of communication with their client knowing it was a WEDDING cake needing to be picked up. We remembered about 5 hours into the wedding.. when it was cake cutting time. We sent the uncles to pick up the cake one hour before closing. Still nothing. No acknowledgement whatsoever that it was hours after pickup. Moving on to the actual cake. Oh. My. God. What an absolutely awful cake. We ordered the parent trap cake (Oreo cake with peanut butter frosting) the cake was spoiled? Old? Rotten? I don’t even know how to explain the taste of our cake. It smelled so bad as if it was truly made weeks before, frozen, unfrozen and then sitting out for days? Maybe the dairy products were bad and they still made the cake? I’m not even sure. And I truly wish I had my wedding photos back to prove my first instinct of spitting it out. The cake also smelled very minty? We also asked for pearls on the cake, no black words and to use white. (Picture below) I asked my sister to try it and she had to immediately spit it out. She ran to get the other slices of cake to see if it was the same sourness. One of the cakes was extremely dry and the other also had the same taste as ours. No one ate the 3 cakes we had and I’m extremely disappointed.

Google won’t let me posts photos of proof. I wrote a yelp and that allowed me to...

So disappointed with this cake, considering the 60 dollar pice tag that included a $10 designer fee. I am not impressed at all. The last cake (pink icing) was a fan created amateur cake and honestly that one is way better than the one this bakery made. I feel like they put no effort into this cake. I could have gotten a photo printed cake at a grocery store if that what i wanted but i choose a bakery because i thought they would be more creative. I never asked them to put happy birthday on the cake, while i said they have creative freedom i meant as far as the image requested. Not adding “happy birthday” and making it take up most of the cake. Not to mention the “y” in birthday is almost on the side of the cake. They couldnt even make room to do that right. The cake was so post to be her whole face as the sample photo, if this was not something they could do they should have informed me before i ordered the cake. I got a maybe 4x6 print out of her image. The writing on the cake was also chunky and not as pretty considering this is a professional baker. Sadly i would not return as a customer and would not recommend unless u want a basic cake at a premium price.

I don't understand the comment response from the bakery. For one I had a birthday party that i could not go back to the bakery. My day was a full day. Maybe presenting the cake request first should be the shop’s intention instead of having to “work” with me. I placed my order 2 weeks in advance. The fan cake image was the “inspiration” image i sent by text to the company. In addition I sent a real photo to show the detail of the makeup on her face. So it’s pretty confusing trying to educate me how to request the cake i wanted when thats exactly what i did. Just saying. Personally i felt this cake was a lazy attempt to pass off store...

Where do I even start? From decadent custom cakes, specialty treats, to fresh bread, Granny's has it ALL. Granny's is my family's go-to bakery in Celina because they're simply the best. We always stop in for one or two things (usually their outstanding sourdough bread- pictured in my husbands birthday basket) but we often leave with a bag full of incredible homemade treats. Our current favorite is the oatmeal cream pie but my all-time guilty pleasure is the apple pie cinnamon roll. As a surprise for our elopement, my sister's from out of state ordered a custom cake for my husband and I from Granny's. It was the perfect touch to our special day and not only was the cake amazing, but the detail that went into it was too. While we love indulging at Granny's, we've also had the pleasure of taking a bread making class there. We learned the ins & outs of what it takes to make a great loaf, had a lot of laughs (thanks to Chester and Mikala!), and even got to sample a bunch of their bread offerings while we were there! While I can clearly go on and on about Granny's products, the thing that actually sets Granny's apart from all the rest is the staff. Not only are they clearly gifted at their craft but they are all so friendly. Between the kind smiles and the warm atmosphere (and sweet smell of fresh baked goods) walking into Granny's feels like home. We love it, our family and friends love it, and most importantly- our town loves it. Granny's is a true Celina staple that I know will be here for...
