My fiance and I came here with high hopes for our very first wedding cake tasting.
From the first moment we walked in, we felt the experience was odd. We were greeted briefly by staff, then waiting up in the big, cold, empty lobby for about 10 minutes. I was wearing a sweater, but still chilly, so asked if I could order a coffee or tea, but they do not serve drinks with their cakes.
We were then asked to pay $15 for our experience and escorted to a private room. This small tasting room was cute and full of display cakes with different possible designs. It was still quite cold.
A nice, younger girl then asked us to go through what we were looking for, clarify date, delivery options, amount of guests, etc. When she was finished, she left to grab our samples.
She brought the samples to us, and we looked at her somewhat confused. There were four tiny, unfrosted cupcakes. One of each flavor we had recommended, as well as four, also tiny, little disposable cups with the different fillings we were permitted to try. Apparently it was a "build your own" cupcake experience.
Not only was that odd as we weren't sure which flavors to put with which cake and how much, etc, but also the cakes were terrible! They all tasted stale and dry, except for the lemon cake. The chocolate cupcake crumbled apart when I tried to cut it in half. I am NOT exaggerating, people.
All in all, it was a terrible experience, not good cake, AND we spent $15 for that. I wish I had taken a photo of the tiny cakes to show you!
There are many other, better, bakers in Austin.
