Cake — Restaurant in San Diego

I was super disappointed in our wedding cake. The tasting they offered was beautiful and delicious. The staff very friendly and helped us keep the cake price within budget. I was REALLY impressed with the cakes I saw they made while watching other customers pick up their orders. But mine was nothing like it was supposed to look. It seemed like a fairly simple design and when I showed the photo of what I wanted, the lady assured me they had done that EXACT cake before and would have no problem. They offered to handpaint the design I wanted, but I asked if instead they could print a similar design on frosting sheets if I send to them. They agreed to do it that way and then hand paint our initials at the front of the cake. I created a BEAUTIFUL design, sent a large copy to them via email and they said it was perfect. (I'm a photo editor so I made sure it was VERY large, and colors were set the way I wanted). But when I got to my reception, I was embarrassed at the cake we sat next to.

I didn't even bother taking a photo of the cake, it was THAT much of a difference from the intended look. When my wedding photos come in, I'll be sure to upload. So bummed about it. Definitely not...

After our wedding, we started the follow up process and were told it was our responsibility to complete the order electronically (which was never explained or else it would have been completed a YEAR AGO when we called to confirm our selection). The bakery alleged they called us and left us SEVERAL voicemails, which was simply not true. We were on top of our wedding planning and in constant communication with all of our vendors. There was zero ownership or responsibility taken by the bakery, the impression was that we should have been happy there was a cake at all despite it not being what we had selected. It’s important to note that the cake provides was tasteless and seemed to be an old cake. Despite it being one of the happiest day of our lives, this process definitely left a sour taste in our...
