One of the associates explained that they are not allowed to make character themed cakes, which is fine, but that information was not made known to me. What made this worse was that one of the associates was terribly rude to me, and put the blame on me! The other two ladies were helpful and apologized, but the one woman was snotty and rude.

The cake will taste wonderful but it was not what I wanted and not w

Cakes great, but

Have had their cakes which are wonderful. Finally stopped in last weekend and was disappointed. Bought some orange rolls, cinnamon rolls and candy. Did not like any of these.
