So I am writing to find out if any one else has booked or communicated with Marsha from Great Cakes! I booked with her at the Expo and my fiance and I are going to the OBX next weekend for a planning/tasting weekend. I called to schedule a tasting (after a week in which she did not respond to a request from her website, which is how she suggested to do it at the expo) and she seemed very unorganized and unprofessional on the phone. I scheduled a tasting next week and when I asked how a tasting works and which flavors of cake/filling/icing she would have available to taste she only said key lime bliiss (her signature flavor) and an almond flavor of some sort, which I remember her having at the Expo. There are a few reasons I have a problem with this. 1: She is only offerring two flavors for her cake tasting, the 2 which she provided as samples at the expo, 2: I am allergic to almonds and therefore cannot taste that flavor. When I asked to try other flavors she seemed a little annoyed. I guess I am asking everyone else....have you guys had any issues with her? Those of you who have done tastings with her, did you ask for additional flavors?
I am going to call her back tomorrow and I want to ask her for 3 different flavors that we want to try. I don't want to sound demanding to her but I feel like if I am spending a lot of money for a cake then I want to know what it tastes like. Am I out of line in thinking that I should be able to try additional flavors?
Any and all suggestions/help/previous experiences would be great!
