I'm very disappointed. I ordered a birthday for my husband that I was to pick up today at 5pm, his birthday is tomorrow,. I went... to the bakery at 4:45pm and the place was dark and the door was locked. I called Twanda and no answer. I waited until 6:40pm andI called again. No answer. I have to pick up a cake from the grocery store and wrote on it myself because the bakery was closed.Why am I so upset, I had surgery and I'm unable to drive so i had to incovenience someone to drive me 45 minutes to pick up acake and she wasn't there. It's 10:25pm and still no call. Very unprofessional and I will not use this bakery again. Read more

What a miracle worker!!!! We used Cakes by Tawanda for our special event and it was simply amazing. W thought I knew what kind... of cake we wanted then Tawanda sat with us and made suggestions that not only made sense but helped ensure our party centerpiecewas perfect. There are hundreds of Cake specialty shops but Cakes by Tawanda is the best hands down. Just to let you know howgood and perfect her cakes are, we traveled 6 one way to get this cake and it even held up perfectly on the drive home. Thanksfor making our party special. Read more

Our small wedding cake and cupcakes were done by Tawanda. The entire process with her was not as smooth as my other vendors and... I think is because we didn’t spend as much. Our wedding was 65 people and we were doing other desserts as well. Tawanda’scommunication was not there several times throughout the process. The automatic response you get is that they respond within 24hours, they don’t. There were several times I had to send a follow up email. Brides, if you want to feel any what special(similar to how my other vendors treated me), this isn’t the place. We had a tasting that I had to initiate and getinformation on. The cake at the tasting was good. Tawanda never spoke about pricing throughout the process, just sent us aninvoice. Didn’t give us an option to have the cake delivered and pay a fee, just told us to pick it up (on our wedding day).The cake itself was delicious and gorgeous, but we received so many complaints about the cupcakes being dry ????.. embarrassing.I had great wedding vendors, I kind of wish I went a different route with our cake, which I’m surprised about since she’swon food network awards. But the taste and customer service just wasn’t there for me as it should be for a wedding Read more
