Bride’s Table Wedding Cakes

I feel awful that the first review on here shows a poor experience, because my husband and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Bride’s Table.
When we first met her, we knew it was a good fit. Casey is so warm and welcoming, and has no problem giving you many generous slices of cake during the initial consultation. She truly listened to our vision for the wedding, was very conscientious of our budget, and impressed us greatly with how plain GOOD her cake was. Honestly, we probably spent around 45 minutes just sitting with her, chatting and eating cake.
The cakes she delivered (we ordered bride’s and groom’s cakes) were stunning and delicious. Our guests were going back for seconds before all of the tables had even been served! It was definitely the highlight of the reception. They were both absolutely beautiful as well, and perfectly on theme.
I wish I could have seen her the day of to thank her, but obviously I was incredibly busy with many other things. Thank you Casey, for making our wedding perfect!

Let me start by saying that I believe Darlene «Casey» Rogers is capable of making stunning wedding cakes. To be fair I must next say that I did receive a full refund on my wedding cake. However, nothing will change my experience on my wedding day, immediately after, or the photographs in my wedding that will never be made correct.
Although Bride’s Table Cakes was not on Unilocal I did find a lot of 5 star reviews for Bride’s Table Cake (
, Facebook, etc). I decided to go with Bride’s Table cakes taking in the near location to Driftwood (we were married at the Salt Lick), the fact that she advertises only doing 1 – 2 cakes per weekend, she does offer Gluten Free options, her reviews are impeccable, and her cake décor advertised on various websites is stunning. I did not choose other bakers because although they had a lot of great reviews now and then you would see one that had 1 – 2 people with a bad experience-​and I did NOT want to take the chance on my big day.
I met Casey in August of ’13-​well in advance of my March ’14 wedding. She is a wonderful hostess, fun personality, and has an amazing home where she showcases her award winning work and gives you a wonderful cake tasting on exquisite china.
The cake I wanted was based off a cake she advertises on her website-​three tiered white with burlap. I discussed with her at our tasting the desire for a more fancy ruffled top tier (gluten free top layer-​the rest Red Velvet) that would compliment my dress. She drew a design and said she would put ruffled flowers on the top tier with a tiny edible pearls in the center to be compliment to my dress. She also suggested an accent ribbon (we accented with red) under the burlap so that the burlap would not rest on the frosting. Lastly she suggested I purchase an antique brooch and she would put it in the cake to really «finish» the cake off.
On our wedding day when I walked into our reception I knew immediately that my cake was not finished. It looked nothing like I had ordered. It was three tiers, wrapped in large red ribbon, with rather «flat» cut out fondant flowers on top with no pearl centers. It looked very unfinished, not what we had discussed, not what Casey drew on a piece of paper.
I thought that something must have happened-​this cake looked nothing like what Casey produces at all. You would think I would receive a note, a phone call, an e-​mail or something explaining what had happened. NOPE! I did go on honeymoon and a week later finally reached out to Casey explaining my disappointment and requesting my jewelry be returned. She replied back saying she was disappointed that we were disappointed and that we deserved better. and God Bless us. She called me the next day. She explained that her husband had left the «package» to finish my cake behind. Although she delivered around 10 and we did not cut cake until 2:30 she felt she could not return the 20 minute or so distance each way to finish my cake.
I do question this «excuse»…because why would you put a red ribbon (not what I originally asked for) around the base of the cake and each layer but not cover it with the burlap ribbon? Why would the flowers which were to be «ruffled» be flat cut out fondant that overlapped the top tier red ribbon. Seriously how can you wrap burlap ribbon around red ribbon on-​site if their is fondant flower already covering the red ribbon? Why would an experience baker do on-​site placement of edible pearls instead of at your bakery? At the end it doesn’t matter what the excuse was-​the cake was unfinished, not delivered as promised, and attitude of Casey (not even contacting us first!) was an enormous let down.
