We searched for a bakery in the North Seattle, Edmonds, Lynnwood, and Mountlake Terrace, for a week online, and after driving to three of them we decided on the Sweet Pearl Bakery.
My second daughter was going to turn 30, and my eldest daughter, being a baker herself went into the bakery, ordered the cake, bought some cupcakes, and tried them. They were delicious.
She spoke with the girl who was very nice, drew out exactly what she wanted, and explained exactly what she wanted.
We were having a big Rockstar birthday and needed a big yellow star cake with a black border and a black 30 in the middle. It sounds simple enough, but when my daughter went and picked up the cake we were completely shocked! We did not get what we ordered we got a round cake with a 30 on top.
When my daughter said something about it the girl said she thought it would look better that way. What? We are the customers and we ordered a specific shape and design, which was completely opposite of what she did.
We did not have time to argue because the party was about to start. Then there was not even in a box to transport it in.
Unbelievable! This was a specialty cake ordered with a very high price tag my daughter was in tears, so she took the cake and left. Trying to get over the shock, we set up the table nicely with decorations,as well as cupcakes we bought from Safeway for the children, and the cake in the middle.
We wanted this to be a very special event, so we did not show our disappointment, or how upset we were with the cake.
We went on with the celebration for my Daughter's 30th birthday, we rented out the park for the whole day, and had a great time. Everybody had cupcakes from Safeway and they were great!
Later at my daughter's we cut the Cake and all of us Adults and children took a no thank you bite, and the cake was terrible! The cake besides being ugly, was dry, hard and flavor was just not there, it tasted like bad dry flour.
My daughters and I are just in shock at how bad this cake was! I just could not believe it and I still can't. I do not recommend this bakery to anyone having high hopes no matter the cost, because I do not want anybody to actually have a dream event, whatever it may be, completely ruined!
