Review from our cake tasting back in February. Going to try to make this short and sweet! We live right around the corner from Let Them Eat Cake and I figured, its close, it was somewhat well reviewed, so why not! I head in one day on my way home from work to set up an appointment. I figured that okay if this place is charging $20 for a cake tasting its gotta be good, right?! When I get home, J and I filled out the questionnaire so they can have a sample of 3 cake flavors, fillings, and frostings for us to try and I email it back. So, fast forward to 8 weeks later (the soonest they could get us in...on a rainy Saturday morning in February). J and I arrived for the appointment about 5 minutes early. We're prompt like that, or at least I am when he's with me...HA! ;) We stood around in the Cupcake Cafe for 5 minutes before we were asked if we could be helped. We were finally escorted into the side office. There we sat and waited for the owner for a couple of minutes. The owner arrived in a flurry and plopped down two paper plates and plastic forks with our tastings. We were then left alone for another 5 minutes. She arrived again in another flurry, plopped down the books, and left again for another 5-10 minutes. When she finally returned and sat down, she gave off an air of impatience, bragged about her awards, and made a show of the Food Network Challenge Chef's coat she was wearing. She was very brisk and business like pushing us into designing our cake and reminded us her pending appointment to immediately follow our own. Total face time with the owner - maybe 10-15 minutes. The cake review - Here's the kicker, they combined all the flavors into a single, three layer cake. The fillings we requested sandwiched between the layers. And one frosting on the side. The cake was cold, so we guessed they had put together "our" cake a day or two in advance and left it to sit in the fridge. All the flavors melded in a way you could not judge the quality of them individually. What we could discern was sub-par and some of the worst cake we've tasted in our lives. Its one thing to charge for a tasting and quite another to rob someone of $20 for something Little Debbie can do better for only .99. By the time we were finished, the remainder of the tasting cake seemed like a consolation prize from the worlds worst game show. We knew immediately upon exiting the building that we would not be using their services. Okay, so I guess that review was definitely not short and certainly not sweet for the vendor! PS - J and I made it a point to TiVo the Food Network Challenge - Anniversary Cake episode she appeared on. She and the Sedona baker she was teamed with, lost. Surprising, I think NOT! Let Them Eat Cake - FAIL!! FAIL!! FAIL!!!
