I purchased a few of the cremes at 1/2 price - toward the end of the day and then the owner came out after they were packaged and all rung up and said they were not 1/2 price - that the new cashier made a mistake. Well at that point they were already in my hand and I wanted them for a nice gathering, so paid the nearly $5 each. I am kinda boycotting until I'm not pissed anymore. LOL
Having said that, they really have some pretty things in there.
I paid $50 for a regular-sized layer birthday cake at Short n Sweet, which I thought was exorbitant, but it was my birthday, so I figured I was worth it. When I picked it up, the cake was gorgeous, but with the first slice we noticed that the top layer had clearly fallen while baking, so they just piled on more icing to flatten it out...I'm talking more than 1/2 of fill beneath the normal icing layer. Clearly whoever made the cake knew there was an issue, and rather than making it right, they tried to pull a fast one. The icing was greasy, the cake extremely bland, and the lemon filling was runny. It was a huge disappointment, and an embarrassment to serve to my guests.
I also picked up a loaf of day old bread there, but in the parking lot I noticed it was actually moldy, so I brought it back inside and they gave me a fresh loaf (which was delicious, I must say).
I won't be back...
