July 2012 Weddings

Seriously???

Okay so a little background. I have an all inclusive venue and originally there were two cake places to pick from. One of which went out of business and only left one option which I thought wasn't great. Because of this, Venue told me they would waive cutting fee and credit me. 

Well, back in Nov, I went pricing around some local cake shops. First one I went to happens to be a big name place in the city I grew up in. SIL/MOH and I stopped in as they also sell bakery items. We asked to talk to someone. A lady came down, did an interview and there was no cake tasting, no choices made, just wanted a price range for the cake I was looking for and to feed up to 135 guests. 

I was advised there would be a delivery fee added on if I went with them. I was also told I would get a call back with an estimate and would schedule a tasting. I never heard from them and went with a friend and her new bakery, this decision was in Jan.

Today at work my cell phone rings, a number I don't know and I can't answer at work anyway. I had a voicemail.

Big Name bakery is calling me 3 weeks before my wedding, asking if they are doing my cake! 

Seriously?! I don't know whether I should call them back and say hey stupid heads, or just ignore them as they did to me.

Re: Seriously???

  • That's strange. I'd just ignore them. If they continue to call let them know that you went with another company.

  • Just ignore it.  Not worth wasting your breath.  It would be fun to call them stupid heads though I think! haha

  • I had the SAME thing go on with me. We basically told them they dropped the ball and we went with someone else!

    This! It'd be fun to chew them out. But I'm not sure it'd be worth your nerves. Unless of course it would make you feel better haha
  • That totally sucks about the bakery just calling you back. I am so pissed at myself for dealing with a bigger bakery, I tried to keep everything with smaller companies but they were they only place that could assure me about nutfree cake. Also being from the Boston area I think I know which bakeries you are dealing with, they wouldn't even talk to me until 4 months out.
