OMG... too cute...she was so welcoming & kind... can't wait to see what she did with the cake I ordered for my youngest son's 21st... I'll update this once we get & sample the cake! *UPDATE* I really hate to do this, because Lori was really kind. I've been hesitant to update this review since mid July, but these businesses need to know what areas need improving. I went to her, solely based on the great reviews & had very high hopes for what she would be able to create for us. We sat at a table & discussed what I was expecting & I gave her room to create something spectacular. She asked a series of questions, that both my sister & I, answered the best we could, because my son is reserved & very humble. I wanted this amazing cake for him, because he has done, so much financially for our household, at such a young age (not that he has to, but he wants to). I told Lori, that I wanted a 2 tier TROPICAL cake, with greens, blues, oranges, yellows, etc... with each tier being a different flavor, one cookies & cream... the other cannoli. The cake needed to have a crab with a crown & a "cigar" in one of its claws. So, she proceeded to ask us his interests, foods/snacks he liked... etc. She assured us that this cake would be amazing & taste the same. The best thing about the cake was the crab, because she definitely rocked the hell out of that. The design of the cake itself, was lost along the way somewhere & lacked that WOW factor. I expected so much more, since she did ask a bunch of questions. The cake also had an odd taste that none of us could make out, the best that I could describe it, was that it tasted like the fridge (don't know if that makes sense to anyone). The cookies & cream tier was the worst... no one ate it. The cannoli tier didn't taste like any that I've ever had from any other bakery or supermarket. The texture of the cake was oddly dense, crumbly & dryer than it should have been. Due to my son, being as humble as he is, he did not complain & he wouldn't. Mind you, my son is a sweets fanatic, mostly chocolate... he didn't have to say it, but the fact that the cake was still sitting there, untouched, weeks later spoke volumes, so I ended up tossing it out. The 3 things that made the cake worth the money spent was the size of the cake, the crab & my son's reaction to the cake. As for the cake in a whole... it was mediocre. I really thought she was going to incorporate a lot more creativity into that cake... like colorful flowers... or at least, some of the other things we spoke about, like animals, music, chocolate, etc. For many many years I was a customer of INTERNATIONAL BAKERY in Hawthorne & had never been disappointed & had spent a lot more on specialized cakes from them. I've been on a hunt for an amazing BAKER, since finding that Internationals was no longer there a few years ago... I have yet to find someone that I'm completely satisfied with. I hoped that Lori would be the end to my long time search & was looking forward to placing future orders with her, since most of the birthdays in our family are right behind one another, in the fall & winter months. What I want for Lori, is to acknowledge her negative feedback, as she does the positive ones... we all can't be wrong. Lori did reach out to me, about a week later, inquiring about the cake, because I never reached back out to her, but once I expressed my issues to her... she never responded back, to figure out where things were lost in translation, what may have went wrong with the cake or to at least apologize... and this is actually why I decided to update this review. The photos I attached along with this review, for some may seem like a great cake, but it wasn't to me... and the disappointment I felt about it... can't be explained.
