I am sure this has been posted about many of times but what bakeries are people using or have used.
I have an appointment with Defore's tomorrow.
I have been trying to talk with someone from Sweet Weddings - I have emailed twice and they responded once. Basically their hours are only 9-4 pm tues-fri which is really difficult when you work up in Jacksonville. She wrote back sometimes they can do a Sunday but never responded to my email about what Sunday in particular. I've tried calling a couple times today and only get voicemail.
Any thoughts?

[QUOTE]Thanks everyone! I never heard back from Sweet Weddings. I met with Defore's today and really liked the mom/daughter team. We are doing 3 tiers that will feed 75 people then the groom's cake is a sheet cake that will feed 30 (if we're doing a groom's cake we want it for people to eat... not just look at. I hate how it goes to waste at so many weddings!). The groom's cake is going to have a tiramisu filling and I know one of the layers will be red velvet - not sure about the others yet. Her estimate was something like $420-40 (can't remember exactly). then expected it to be another $20 for the decorations I wanted for it (beachy cake with the beach chairs on top and the fencing, sand, shells, etc). That included the delivery, taxes, etc. She said she'd have the proposal for me by Monday! I keep hearing recommendations for Sweet Weddings but I don't want to deal with vendors I have to stalk to get a hold of - since I hear just as wonderful things about Defore's and they are right in my price range (and I liked the tasting I had) I think we'll probably go with them!

Good luck with your decision! I know what you mean by vendors you have to stalk (you don't need the added stress). I remember at our consultation with Defore's, they gave us several huge slices of cake, and they were all really good (I was only expecting small samples lol).

[QUOTE]Sweet Weddings did eventual get back to me - she said she read my email the day of that I wanted to come in and emailed me back a few days after that. The soonest she had an opening to meet with me was a month away. I told her I appreciated her getting back with me but we had already chosen another bakery.

I'm glad she finally got back to you, but it sucks that she took so long. I would be a little put off too if it was that difficult to get ahold of her. I'm glad you found one you love!
