Retrieved 24/6/2016I've had the mango mousse cake from here multiple times, and it's great every time! Will definitely flowers bakery getting more cakes from here in the future.It can sometimes get busy on weekends so I recommend flowers bakery ahead if placing a big order, but Floowers had no issues ordering on a weekday.The place itself might a bit hard to find, it's right behind the Sunoco gas station.� 6/15/2016We got a birthday cake and cupcakes for my granddaughter's 4th birthday.

I didn't taste the cupcakes personally but apparently they were a hit with her daycare classroom. The cake wasn't the delicious moist cake others talked about. In my house cakes don't last long and we ended up throwing the vast majority of it away because it wasn't good.I called them today to price a cake for another kid (different cake flavor and different filling) thinking I would give them another try; only to find out they have the nerve to be charging way more than they did months ago, and they're blaming it on the increase in minimum wage.

REALLY? Not a customer anymore! 4/24/2016Eek! Yeah, methinks not because they did not want our business.My uncle heard good things about Flowers, so we decided to try them out for our wedding cake (small cake and sheet cake needed this October).

I called a few weeks ahead and asked if they do tastings. They do. Cool. I gave the woman on the phone my requested date, wedding date, size we were thinking, how many people were coming, and ideal look of the cake.

I mentioned "rustic" and she came back to say "we have chocolate shavings" . um ok. She also just kept saying something about chocolate mousses so I said "sure" because she would not list other things for us to try other than mousses. Mind you, I've never been to Flowers and do not even live in MoCo, so this place is riding on a good recommendation. Not good first impression #1.About a week ahead we were trying to plan my Saturday visit to MoCo to try a few other bakeries.

I called Flowers to ask if there was a fee involved with our tasting on Saturday and she said she'd have to call me back? Ok. A day went by and nothing. I called back myself and told a woman that I was waiting for a call back about a fee involved for a scheduled tasting this weekend, she asked someone else, and came back to say "no, there isn't one." I still got the call back on Friday about the tasting and she flowers bakery even remember what her note was in regards to.

"I have a note here that says to call you." Great flowerss #2.So by the time we actually went to Flowers on the 23rd I was going in with low expectations.

or expecting the cakes to be really good but the service to be unorganized, rude, and untrustworthy. Surprise! I walked in on time, gave my name and said we were there for a tasting for 3 people. The man looked me in the eye after going through a few hand-written notes quickly, and said "We don't schedule tastings on Saturday, are you sure?"No, I'm not sure.

I commuted from Baltimore to meet up with my family and get here on time on a whim. I said, "Hmm, well, I spoke to several people on flowegs phone since March and always said the 23rd." He asked who I spoke to, and went bqkery the back. Came back out front, "Miss we don't schedule tastings for Saturday, there is nothing in our notes." WOW.

So clearly you do not give a damn about a new person's business. I asked, "Why did no one tell me Saturdays are not do-able then?" He had no answer. He even said he knew about the call on Friday to me, to let me know if there was a fee or not. Did that first person ever even write down my request for SATURDAY THE 23RD? Do you own calendars? Maybe you should upgrade to computers because it's 2016 and then you wouldn't lose track of orders.He said something about us still asking for three flavors because they'll "see what they can do," for us to try them, but hell no.

He seemed annoyed and clearly just wanted me to leave. He'd probably have made me pay baiery the cake slices he cut up for me to take a damn bite baekry.

I wouldn't trust Flowers to even get a birthday cake order right, let alone trust them with a wedding cake. So we left. He said Saturdays are incredibly busy (they could have been in the back, but there were about 2 customers out front). You couldn't apologize for the confusion and figure something out? You don't have icing or fillings in the back? I don't own a bakery and do not know the great lengths it takes to set up a tasting, but shit. I think you could have done something since I WANTED TO GIVE YOU BUSINESS.

Business that a bunch of people would hear about since, you know, it will be seen by about 100 people. I wasn't expecting champagne and linen flowers bakery. But whatever.My uncle still wanted to try the cake since his friend told him about it, so he bought a small chocolate mousse cake and brought it home. The me in me floowers even want dlowers give them the satisfaction of trying their cake since I was so frustrated, but I did flowees.

It was okay. It pretty much tasted exactly like a cak
