I went off the reviews for this place.. which was good compared to others in town. I called up first and the lady I spoke to was kind and helpful giving me detail on pricing based on what I was wanting. I told her I was coming in and would work out the details. When I got there I was approached by a small lady with glasses in her 30s, that was very loud and almost offensive in her approach. She was helpful in greeting me and showing what books to look at, but when I started asking questions she spoke to me condescending and impatiently. I went off the pricing I was given over the phone by the size and description of what I wanted, which was about 28 bucks. She came back to see if I had picked something out and I told her yes, and described the design on the basic white cake I was looking for. She said let me price that for you and came back with a price up over 50 bucks. I explained that was too high and more than what I was hoping to spend and also more than I was quoted over the phone. She was immediately defensive and spoke alarming to me saying "you were probably quoted just a base price.. and you just picked a design thats $3.50 a serving". *Listen I dont know what Im in here looking for and I expect the person helping me would get an idea of what I like and what I am wanting to spend and appropriately guide me.. or would even allow me to talk to the person I spoke to on the phone.. Instead of not guiding me at all and then speaking to me like Im an idiot for not understanding why the 6" round cake I picked out was 54.00. She went on to show me picture of cake designs at 1.60 a serving and the few she showed me I said No too, because I was not fond of the design and she looked right at me at one point after I said no to a particular design and said "yeah, I am showing these too you.. so you can tell me what you like and dont like.. ok.. see. How about I just do something simple and wedding like and keep in the 30 range for you, would you like that?" I raised my eyebrows and about walked out because of her tone! First of all Im a first time customer and I am about to pre pay 30 bucks for a tiny cake that you want me to agree too you doing what you want to it, to fit my budget and not show me any ideas on what it will look like?? I asked for examples and did finally agree to the scrolling design and paid for the cake. But this lady, no matter how fake nice she was, had a real attitude and a forceful loud condescending approach I did not appreciate whatsoever. Not sure I will return. Ill determine that on the look and taste of the cake, come Saturday.

While looking for a company to make our wedding cake, we came across Cameo Cake and called to make an appointment to do a cake tasting. We were told to come any time and someone would help us. We showed up and were told someone would be with us. We were seated and showed where the cake books were. I dont know if the woman who came out was the "cake decorator" or the owner, both or maybe a vagrant off the streets, however we were treated as though we were impeding on her precious time. She asked what we were looking for and we told her we were needing a wedding cake and would like to do a cake tasting. She was slouching in her chair as she asked another girl to prepare the cake. She told us about some horses that she owns as we waited. During that conversation she actually used the F word!! When the samples arrived, we were astonished that we were given two flavors of cake to sample... Chocolate and traditional white wedding cake!! I asked about the other flavors and the "colorful" woman with the horses said they dont give samples of other flavors. We went ahead and sampled the two flavors they brought out. The flavor was flat and the cake had obviously been frozen thawed, then frozen again. On the up side it was moist. We left, ate lunch and then went to our appointment with WOW wedding cakes. (YES, they scheduled an appointment and then called us thirty minutes before time to remind us and make sure it was still a good time for us) We arrived at WOW and the woman there closed the office, ignored the phone and gave us her undivided attention. Needless to say, we went with WOW... By the way, we may have looked like we couldnt afford a big expensive cake, but Cameo cakes: never judge a book by its cover. WOW cakes got our business, repeat business and we will tell everyone about our two polar opposite experiences with Cameo Cakes and WOW cakes. Our wedding cake (FROM WOW cakes) was delicious, beautiful, exactly what we ordered, and delivered on time.

I ordered my Nursing Graduation/Pinning cake from Cameo Cakes. We had previously used Cameo Cakes for my grandpas 80th birthday and new of the their good work. They did amazing work and it was delicous! It was on time for pick up and above and beyond what I had imagined. I will definitely be going back again when I need more cake! My nursing classmates who took Kaplan prep course enjoyed the left over from my party as well. Thanks Cameo Cakes!!! As to the rude person who said they did not pay attention to them. I think you are a liar. I came in WITHOUT notice and they were very busy with a wedding party and other walk ins and I had a decorators undivided attention. Time for you to grow up and be an adult and stop lying and pull your head out of WOW cakes owners rear end. I was told by everyone in this city I asked to never go to WOW cakes unless you wanted a horrible cake and a horrible experience.

I was so happy when I called Cameo Cakes the afternoon before my mothers birthday and was told they would be able to make a cake for me to pick up the next day. When I got there the owner helped me and the cake was just beautiful. They painted a lovely bluejay on the cake that would later remind my mother of her deceased father who loved bluejays. The cake was decorated beautifully and the inside was one layer of white and one of chocolate and they were so moist. Im sitting here on day 3 eating another piece that had been refrigerated and it is still just as tasty and moist as the first piece I had. I will be back!

Means Wrinkled Bullies Bulldog Puppies

I was very disappointed in my daughters 16th birthday cake. It was supposed to be the marauders map from Harry Potter. Not only did they leave a big stripe down the middle of the cake for who knows why the image on top was wrinkled and looked poor. When asked about it they said they could take it back and push it down? So crumpled and smooshed looked better?? I seen other poor reviews for them but one person I personally know thought they were OK so we went with them. I will not be ordering or recommending
