Reviews for Schubert's Bakery
The salespeople are very nice and the owner is very nice as well, very friendly over the phone and in emails. I went for a cake tasting and was not that impressed by the taste. The cake was just ok (nothing special) and the filling tastes a little artificial (like jam).
PROS: very affordable prices for a pretty nice-looking cake. very friendly and nice owners and employees.
CONS: not the best-tasting cake in the world, charges a delivery fee, not much design selection because you can only choose cake decorations out of their portfolio.
We weren't planning on having a cake, so it was a last month decision. This bakery was highly recommended by a friend so we gave it a taste test. We liked what we tried but it wasn't the best thing ever. They are not the lowest priced cakes. The price included delivery and varies depending on location from San Francisco. We got a 3 tier cake with levels of 6",10", and 14". Each layer was different--white cake with rum custard and mango filling, white cake with vanilla custard and strawberry filling, and chocolate cake with mocca and rasberry filling. The outside was marzipan. The cake topper was a brushed silver double happiness symbol.
On my wedding day, I only had one bite of the cake. I was just not in a cake mood. There were a lot of leftovers as I expected and wanted to avoid this by not having a cake at all. The flower decoration was taken from the flower girl's basket and was done by my husband's aunt.
We actually got to taste 3 samples in the tasting. It was a decent slice for each and they make it right there for you. Go for the tasting; you're not obligated!
Paid $425 in spring of 2006
The cake was exactly what I wanted. They did a great job and everyone said the cake was very good.
Got the shower cake from Schubert's. Wow, it was out of this world. I was so disappointed that they didn't have my date available, as they book up well in advance, particularly during the summer months. Their prices seemed really amazing too. Their designs seem a bit more old school, but if you're not looking for high art, I think this place wins on taste and on price!
Everyone loved our cake. We ordered the opera cake and a white cake w/ blackcurrent filling.
The cake was gorgeous.
Only 4 stars because we asked for the 4" risers to be in between the 3 layers of cake but they forgot. No big deal to us, it still looked beautiful.
We decorated it with fresh flowers.
Schubert's was decently priced...They were easy to deal with regarding delivery...Their staff was not the most helpful or infomative...But they got the job done and our cake was beautiful!
Well,4 stars only because the didn't do exactly what I finally asked for (i changed my mind a lot about how I wanted it to look). They kept most of what I asked for (4tier, ivory with gold ribbons (that I bought & gave to them), pearl dots with red roses on top only). They end up putting the roses on the side too (which was what I wanted at first, but asked at the end to take off). That was the ony flaw of it, but it look good still..i guess.
Got the Opera, Italian Rum and White with Guava filling. Yum Yum!! Charlene was really helpful. They don't have much of a album, but they can pretty much do anything if you just bring a picture. I think they only do fondount, but my friend who also went with them ask for marzipon(sp?) and they did it. Price was reasonable, but when we went back, I saw they increased it by like $200-300 dollars! Wow!
The sales people were great to work with. We custom designed our cake, which looked beautiful. Yummy and beautiful...
This was one of the worst cake tasting experience. We were on time for our tasting schedule but was told to wait for next available table(there was no other tasting schedule before us). An assistant brought out the cake for us to try. The taste of the cake was not great, we only got to taste 3 flavors. When we were discussing the detail of the cake, we ask if we have this decorations and other ideas. The assistant was unable to answer our questions but need to go to the back and ask the chef. We were ask to put down a deposit even before agreeing if we would hire them.
