Audrey's Specialty Cakes

Was referred here and would never utilize them again. Went into painstaking detail about the items that my daughter was allergic to and even offered to provide ingredients that she could use, but was assured that Audrey could make an allergen free cake that tasted good. Move forward to the date of delivery - the delivery person showed up 15 minutes into the party smelling like cigarette smoke (heavily). My daughter had an allergic reaction to the cake and when I spoke with Audrey about it, she acknowledged using an ingredient but basically said that it shouldn't have been an issue based on the portion/amount used. Though she touts being able to make allergen free cakes, ours wasn't. We ended up with a sick 5 year old on the day of her party. Luckily, she didn't have a severe anaphylactic episode. I will never use the merchant again. more

These other people must have been having a bad day because I've been getting my cakes here for about 6 yrs and they ROCK!!!! They should be on the food network. There is nothing that they can't do for a price, but if you are looking for the cheap way out go to Harris Teeter. more

Once went in the shop and was grossed out by the long fingernails on Audrey. Who knows whats under those nails. Not impressed at all, and would be scared to try anything from there. Are long nails even acceptable to a food inspector? more

We ordered cupcakes from this bakery about a week and a half before we were scheduled to pick them up for a girl's birthday party. Gave what we thought were pretty simple instructions (colorful fondant background, colorful lettering). We called to say we were coming to pick up the order, they acted alarmed and asked us to give them another hour or so. OK, you had a week. We picked up the cupcakes, and the lettering looked as if they wrote it with a sharpie in black. They looked rushed, and really thrown together. Not professional looking at all. My wife and I have both worked in the service industry, so we're really reticent about complaining, but this was a bit too rough. So we returned them for a touch-up (not even to redo them). Their reactions to this were AWFUL. Almost yelling at my wife and acting really frustrated that they were called on sub-par work. My wife was reduced to tears while trying to get her concerns addressed. We'll never, never use them again. more
