Cakery Bakery makes one of the best TRIPLE BERRY Cakes I have haver had! I bought a whole 10-person cake to try (this was the smallest size she was willing to go for this custom order) before our wedding and I fell in love! I practically finished the whole cake all by myself! Unfortunately, for our wedding cake the baker really skimped on the berries. Unlike the first cake that I had purchased, the wedding cake had more cream than berries. Many of my guests complained that the cake had too much cream - many even thought it was suppose to be a strawberry cake because there were few chunks of strawberry in between the mounds of cream and cake! I was really disappointed with the turn out - the cake itself was moist, but the lack of berries really was unacceptable. NOTE: I did not even ask for a discount. She charged me extra for the berries. Whatever price she quoted me, I paid! After complaining to her about the amount of blueberries & rasberries in the cake, she argued that she used a lot of berries (4 boxes per type of berry), however, my cake was suppose to feed about 170 guests. 4 boxes of blueberries would not have been enough to cover 4 layers of cake! Bottom line, if you go with her triple berry cake for a wedding cake, pay double for her to double the quantity of berries and make sure she doesn't skimp on the berries after accepting your money.

My friend had her wedding here and at first glance, I thought it was a great deal for the location and (I assumed) the quality. However, my fiance and I thought that the facilities were lacking and the food was terrible (salmon was fishy, beef was REALLY tough, salad was plain and sloppily put together). The only positive thing about this location was the beautiful view & gazebo, the bar package which included good premium selections, the hors d'ouevres which were generous in quantity, and the most important thing, the newly weds who were so happy and beautiful together. BUT, If you are looking to spend about $100 per guest in the same area, why not look into La Venta Inn. The food quality and the view is SOOO much more superior.
