| - If I could give this place a 0 rating, I would. Being in need of someone to make my wedding cake, I found Retro's website and thought that had some amazing designs. I called and spoke to Brian, who told me that I didn't need to make an appointment, just to come down. He told me that all of their cake flavors were available as cupcakes, so there was no reason for an appointment.
My matron of honor and I showed up to find 3 different flavors of cupcakes available (lemon, white and chocolate). When I said I was there for a cake testing, I was then told the cost was $20, something that was NOT mentioned to me over the phone by Brian. I was okay with paying the $20, even though they didn't mention it on the phone, but they had only 3 flavors left to choose from! Add to that my frustration of driving 40 minutes in rush hour traffic to get to this place....well, I wasn't too happy. Not to mention, I wasn't planning on having a PB&J wedding cake, so I really couldn't TASTE the cake unless I scraped off all the foofoo frosting, which is really what they charge you for. Carrie then informed us that no bakeries in town offer free cake tasting (which is a complete lie).
They didn't offer me a book of wedding cake pictures or seem really to want any information, other than for me to buy the cupcakes, so my guess is that they really don't WANT to do wedding cakes. Besides, why would I pay $20 to sample their cupcakes (a $7 savings over their normal price) when I don't want a cupcake for my wedding cake, and then in addition, I have to pay for my wedding cake? Forget it!
Judging from the other reviews and the customers in the store when I was there, my guess is that this place has pretty good cupcakes, but I would NEVER recommend them for wedding cakes!
