| - Okay - this review is LONG overdue! Samantha and her family at Bakeshop are just AMAZING! For years I thought the idea of a "gender reveal" party was stupid; that was until I was pregnant. Next thing I know Hubs and I decided that not only do we want to do a reveal with our family, but find out ourselves at the same time.
I called in advance to get details from Samantha and she was great, helping to go over options and pricing with me, and sharing in the excitement of doing a reveal cake. I even went in advance to try a sample of the tres leches, because I had to know it was delicious and oh, it was! So we had our ultrasound tech hide the gender from us so we could deliver it for Bakeshop to bake the color into the cake.
I was so excited going in to the store to hand it off...until that time came. I became so nervous leaving my baby's ultrasound with them - I felt like I was trusting Samantha with my baby's life. I know, ridiculous, but first time future mom here. She was so sweet and to reassure me placed my most important - the ultrasound - with their most important - their health rating! I was ensured it wouldn't get lost or dirty, and that she would check out the gender immediately upon my leaving,lol. By the way, I just keep giggling thinking back on this.
The day of the reveal came and they were beyond sweet! Hubs picked up the cake and not only did he leave there with the cake, but also with an extra cupcake in case we would want to cut into it separately to see the gender before everyone arrived. They also framed and wrapped up the ultrasound for us - so thoughtful and just a wonderful touch on this special day for us. Well, when the time came (and we made sure there was build up with the whole family) we cut into the cake. BLUE!!!! He's a boy! It was such a special experience and one that we were able to share with our whole family, and also have on film now to relive. The experience was made even that more special by Samantha and her family. THANK YOU!!!! Oh! And the cake was also delicious!!!
