| - As my boyfriend's sons birthday approached, I was tasked with getting the cake. Because I'm lactose intolerant and know what I can have. Other major grocery stores have previously (as early as February) have carried dairy free frosting and cake. However, this time around I called every grocery store in town and all of them stopped carrying their dairy free versions. I wasn't asking for vegan just no milk or butter, which hasn't been an issue in the past..
Well, no one's fault but my own that I waited for the day of to find all of this out. I called Retro bakery and unfortunately, no cakes were premade as I was hoping and praying with all my might! it does take time and I understand. However, I emailed their office on the off chance they could help and was able to get correspondence back that they could wing it for me with cupcakes; they saved the day! My boyfriend thought they were too much for one dozen, but I need my fix and I don't have any other options. It's tough being lactose intolerant (I'm also pregnant - don't keep a pregnant lady from food).
He has since changed his tune, because we bought two different cupcakes one from Albertson's for everyone and one from Retro for me. Well, not one cupcake was eaten from Albertson's and all my cupcakes are gone. No one knew they were Vegan, and everyone was oohing and awing over how delicious and wonderful the cupcakes are. I had to give the address and phone number out 3 times. After I told them they were vegan, dairy free, etc people almost hit the floor in shock.
Retro Bakery really went out of their way to make sure our special day - stayed special. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend them, and believe me when you have allergies or dietary issues, no price is too much to pay and really its not very much. We will be back - because they are that good and tasty and friendly and get things done!
