Awful Service
I very recently got married and we used Linda's Cakery. The cake was delicious, but Linda was awful to work with and was incredibly rude. When we first met with her she offered to throw in a couple of things for free and was really working with our budget, we decided to go with her because of these things. Although, she was pretty rude from the get-go and she did not prepare the samples that we wanted. A week before the wedding I contacted her to make sure everything was in order. THE DAY BEFORE THE WEDDING she called me saying that we owed her extra money because of the amount of time she needed to put into the cake, that she could not do the color of the cake that I gave her originally because we got a flavored frosting. She said she could no longer do our cake toppers and made the day before my wedding a complete and utter stressful nightmare. As a bride, we all know that the day before the wedding is incredibly crucial and there is so much stress that that is something that was incredibly unneeded. The day of the wedding she persisted to call my husband and I DURING THE CEREMONY claiming that she couldn't find our reception site. Once she finally found the reception site (mind you, she did have the address) she was incredibly rude to my mother-in-law as she was trying to assist her in setting up the cake. She forgot the stand that she was going to put the cake on (which was also SUPPOSED to be included in the cost) so she then set up our tiered wedding cake on boxes. Cardboard boxes. No words. I was VERY disappointed with the TERRIBLE customer service that I received from Linda herself. She was less than pleasant and completely rude. I certainly never plan to recommend her to anyone because I would not wish the stress that she caused me on another bride ever. I think that maybe Linda is unaware that she is in a business where she is a part of the most important day in a person's life. We, as brides, hire Linda to deliver what we are paying for. We hire her to deliver a service, a service that she claims will be excellent and she will put a great deal of time and effort into it and really work with you and this is just not the case. She is nearly impossible to work with and is incredibly unresponsive. My husband owns his own business and if we ran his business the way she runs hers we would be out of business. I have heard that if you go to her to complain then she will provide you with hush money, which is clearly how she is staying in business. I would like to tell everyone to steer clear of Linda's Cakery if you would like your day to be minimal stress.

Linda's Cakery: Horrible customer service, ugly cake, and a giant rip off.
We found Linda's Cakery at a local bridal show and were very excited about having her make our wedding cake. During the consultation, Linda was professional and seemed easy to work with. However, a couple days later, problems started to arise. First, a phone call asking us to make a payment that we had already previously made at the consultation. When we informed her of this, we were told it must have been misplaced. It must be noted that apparently Linda's record keeping skills are... Well, non-existent, because that was followed by multiple calls asking questions that were already discussed either during the consultation, or during one of the previous calls. A week before the wedding we even received a call asking what our colors were. That was one of the first things discussed at the consultation. Now on to the product itself, we ordered one of her signature cakes called the "Topsy Turvy" in "shades of purple". Now we admittedly must have given too much artistic freedom when it comes to color choice. Because, as we say "shades of purple", what must have been heard was blue and pink. Upon arriving at the tent for the reception, I approached Linda with the intention of finding out whether she had mistakenly delivered our cake to a baby shower, but before I could get a word out, she informed me that "my" cake was falling and that it needed to be cut NOW. Seeing that I have no intention of feeding my guests a main course of cake, I told her to separate the cakes into two pieces to avoid having it end up on the ground. To this, she replied: "I don't care if the cake gets ruined. You don't understand how long I spent putting it together." After conveying to her how little I in fact cared about her "time spent" (that I paid her, far more than I care to admit, for) she split the cakes as asked. We have also had guests come to us afterward and tell us how the cake was already sagging when she brought it out of her car. Something she completely denies. The cake was delicious. The "boy" tiers were chocolate with peanut butter filling. The "girl" tiers were white cake with strawberry. When we went to take the cake stand back the following day, we decided to just voice our complaint and leave. When I brought up the color mistake she pulled out balls of fondant wrapped in red saran wrap (POP QUIZ: Blue + Red =?), slapped them on the table and said "there is your colors". When we brought up the fact that our cake looked clinically depressed, she gave a whole line about the weather and dew points and so on. It was 85 degrees with a 4.5 mph breeze with 48 percent humidity (as per the National Weather Service). When my husband pointed out that it simply was not what we paid for, we were informed that if we were to receive any monetary compensation, it is understood that we will not "go online with this". Then another woman came in yelling about legal documents we would need to sign stating the same. It makes me wonder with all the good reviews and only a few bad, how many Linda's Cakery customers leave with hush money because, the cake tasted good, but the service left a bad taste in my mouth. Here is a picture of our cake. If you can find the purple, you're not color blind. (Hint: It's the ribbon and the table cloth.) http://s13.postimage.org/hpdh76e6f/616302_****22835****_*59442****_o.jpg
