The Mixing Bowl Bakery

I purchased a cake for my baby’s adoption party. I did my research and found the perfect cake for our theme of the party. I brought in the picture of the cake I wanted with me to the initial consultation. Caroline assured me that she/​the shop would be able to adhere to the design of the cake. The day of the adoption I was too busy to pick up the finished cake so my friend picked it up for me. As soon as I saw the cake I was upset. It was nothing we discussed. The colors were not the same, the design, and the butterflies had a horrible quality to them. I immediately called The Mixing Bowl and Caroline answered. As soon as I identified myself she hung up on me! I served the cake at the party and it tasted mediocre, like a cake I got at Walmart could’ve tasted better. So in the end it was horrible customer service, terrible cake decorating, and disappointing taste. You’d be better off going anywhere else for any kind of cake, let alone a cake for any memorable event.

I went in for the first time, purchased a layered dessert torte that looked really good. However, looks were deceiving. It has an inch thick layer of what tastes like sweet shortening, it was disgusting. The 2 cake layers were dry and tasteless, there was another small layer of that shortening morterlike crap and a very thin layer of chocolate. The caramel top layer was the best thing there. Please stop making this crap product!!!

I bought a vanilla bean cupcake $ 4.00. It had no taste. None. The cake was very dense, no flavor. The icing was more dense than the cake and again, no flavor. I’m a sugar addict and love cupcakes so believe me when I say I really wanted to like it. I was able to choke down ¼ of it but the no taste won out. I threw the rest away. That is soooo not like me. So I don’t think I’ll return.

I ordered a half vanilla half chocolate sheet style wedding cake that was supposed to be a two layer cake. What I received was an all vanilla cake with 3 layers and all white icing to include our names and decorations. The cake tasted ok, however, the icing between the layers was too thick and half of it was not chocolate. The size and price was comparable, but still was disappointed overall.
