So rude!

by jaimee262 at Citysearch

After I had I moved to Beaverton from out-of-state and lived here for several months, one of my friends expressed her shock that I hadn't been to Beaverton Bakery and that I needed to go NOW because it was so amazing!!...yada...yada...I went and picked up a few things. It's a busy place, which I understand if it's good, but they were very disorganized and after waiting for several minutes I ended up having to point out that I was next even though they have a take-a-number system. The baked goods I got were okay...nothing special in my opinion, but I figured I just didn't make a great choice.

I am helping to plan a friend's baby shower and Beaverton Bakery came up as a potential bakery to get the cake from. I looked at their options online and called to ask a couple of questions and the lady who answered was SO RUDE! I couldn't have been on the phone with her for more than 1 minute and she was not only unfriendly, but was even snotty. It's too bad - I live here and would have gotten the cake from there - but not with that attitude! I guess even in this economy they don't think they need anyone's business!

• Pros: from scratch
• Cons: very rude service

Good Cake

Second year in a row we went to them for my son's birthday and they performed. Ordered a full sheet cake this year and went with the butter cream frosting and lemon cake and filling. To Die for. But wait there?s more. They made a custom Scooby Do Design with little figures and everything. The decorator, Lucy who works there really took care of me. We will be back and oh yes you can taste the difference over others offerings. Not sure what all the complaining is about in some of the other reviews but I tell ya - That cake is Good Cake :)

• Pros: Taste and Design
• Cons: alittle spendy but I think it is justified

Not the same as they used to be

When we were married 10 years ago they promised that they would re-create our wedding cake top for every anniversary. A few years ago they stopped that policy (unless we pay a hefty price almost twice what it used to be) and they try to sell us a cheap square cake with roses on it instead. I don't want a small square cake that has nothing to do with our wedding. If I did, I can buy a comparable "anniversary" cake anywhere. We did order the replica wedding cake top at the inflated cost for our 10th anniversary and the order was lost, then wrong. After several phone calls to make sure they were getting it right it came out fine, but it was too much work for me.

They should have kept their promise to re-create our cake top on anniversaries. That's the main reason we purchased wedding cake there. It seems to us that this place is not what it used to be.
