The Reviews

I have 2 daughters with diabetes and they both have poor control of their diabetes. I was looking for a cake that would taste good and not have sugar in it. I found that information in my local newspaper where I usually get my wedding notices. I called Cheree and left message after message after she finally returned my call. I told her what our daughters have, I told her where to find more information, and told her our budget. After many, many days finally getting around to her with the information she needed, we set up an appointment. We went in and she was so sweet. She got to know our children and she was very positive and very excited to be part of our wedding.

My husband and I went in to look around the store and get some ideas of what we wanted for a cake. We were lost in all the beautiful detail of all the beautiful cakes. We finally just said, look, we just want you to make something pretty. Well that pretty was exactly what we were looking for. We actually just wanted white with a little bit of glitter on the outside. Well that was the first red flag. We all know how beautiful cakes can be with all that detail and that glitter, well this cake just had a very flat look to it. Still, we kept looking and we finally found something we liked. It was blue with some silver glitter on it. It wasn’t really a blue like we’ve seen before, more of a sky blue. The cake was very small, not much more than a mouthful for anyone. The price was great, right in our budget.

We went to finish setting up our appointment and she told us to call her about 2 weeks before the wedding. When we called, she had so many cakes to make for that day, she asked us to call back another 2 weeks. That was ok, we did, and she had a card printed out for us to take to our architect, and that was ok.

The week before the wedding, she called and asked us to call her back 2 weeks before the wedding. At this point we were starting to wonder if she really was the person to make our cake. We went and looked at other people’s cakes.

About 2 weeks before the wedding, she calls and asks us to call her back 2 weeks before the wedding. We get nervous at this point. What if she calls and wants to know where to get flowers for the cake? We call our florist, and tell her what we need. While we are on the phone with her, she asks me if I know what kind of cake I want, and I tell her what I heard she does. She then tells me she has a picture of that cake and it is all wrong. She wanted something completely different. What if she calls and wants to know what kind of cake flowers we need? At this point, we are so involved in everything else, that we just said forget it, we are just going to get flowers from the flower place, and you make the cake.

WHAT!!?!?!? You mean I get to decide what kind of cake I want and you are just going to make it and pretend it is something it is not?? No!! That is so unprofessional, and we do not want to be treated that way.

We finally decided we are just going to get flowers and you decide what kind of cake you want. We are so busy planning everything else, that we just decided to do what she asked and just forget the whole thing.

To make a long story short, we decided to get our cake from our local flower shop, and you decided to be unprofessional and not make our cake the way it was designed.

Cheree, thank you for being so unprofessional. We decided we do not need your services and we will go somewhere else.

If you are in the pasadenas, and you are looking for a cake, and your budget is around $3.00/slice, and you want to be treated with some respect, and you don’t want to end up with a big fat cake on the floor, and you want a cake that is going to feed at least 55 people but will feed over 100, go to the flower shop and get some flowers, and you decide what kind of cake you want, and you decide to be unprofessional and not make our cake the way it was designed, then do not go to Cakes by Cheree.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful it was working with Cheree. She was one of the first bakers I met with and I was so impressed with her cakes that I decided to go with her no matter what. Her cakes are so delicious and moist, not like other cakes I’ve had before. Her icing is out of this world (I’ve never had an icing that good before). I was a little worried about how it would turn out because I had no idea what kind of design I wanted, but Cheree made it so easy. I gave her some ideas of what I like and she came up with a design right away. She also worked with the fact that I don’t have a real cake topper (yet) and didn’t make it so big that it would be noticed. It was perfect. I can’t wait for our 1 year anniversary so I can eat the topper! I know it will be delicious!
