| - Sugarlips, i am a fan.
While you're not exactly 5 starts (due to falling short in my much anticipated pink champagne cupcake--it tasted much like play-doh would...) you are almost there with everything else you provided me.
After going to another cake shop, i was very pleased there there was a) more than one person taking orders/making cakes and able to actually serve those who would come in, in a very timely matter b) there were a copious amount of photographs of all of their cakes and c) any questions that one might have was graciously answered without making me feel as though i was an idiot or wasting their time.
It's the first time i'm doing any sort of custom cake. No sheet cake from the local grocery store, no cake from a box, but a beautiful, tasty, can't stop thinking or talking about kind of cake. Besides, the one i love deserves it :) But with that being said, i had no idea where to start on the flavor of cakes. As i mentioned, i had been to another cake shop and when taking their cupcakes home to try the cake flavors (without having to purchase an entire cake) i was very disappointed. The flavored ones tasted just like white sheet cake. I did the same sampling at Sugarlips, 2 red velvets, 2 pink champagne, and 2 strawberry...I could rave for days about the red velvet and strawberry...not so much on the pink champagne...sorry. But even so...DE-LICIOUS! Most, flavorful, and the coloring was perfect.
After i decided which type of cake flavor i wanted it was back to deciding the design. They were incredibly helpful with giving me ideas, telling me to do the less colored buttercreme frosting b/c the dye tastes bad, or telling me to do fondant and airbrush instead--just very knowledgeable and i never once felt as though i was being taken advantage of.
Friendly, delicious, creative, and just an overall great vibe!
I will be back Sugarlips!!
