Edited to update:
In my original post, below, I discussed how I was not happy with the bakery that my caterer is using...however...we decided to just go with it based on reviews. Now we find out that, even though my cake is 'included' in the cost of the wedding, if I want upgrades like quilting patter on 2 tiers and fondant on the cake instead of buttercream, it is going to cost me $600!!!! In upgrades???? Is this normal???? H E L P!!!!

My original post:
Hi gals. So, I am getting married at the east wind and our package includes a cake from rolling pin bakery. My fiancé and I went to rolling pin to pick up a few samples to taste a few weeks ago. With all honesty, we were not impressed at all. We had all different kinds and the cakes had no flavor to them and some of the fillings had that artificial taste to them. So, my question for past east wind brides is: were u happy with ur cake? Or future brides: are I having a better experience with them? Post any info u have or even what flavors u ordered. TIA

Re: East Wind Brides - Cake Question

I'm a past East Wind bride and we absolutely LOVED our cake! We did do the chocolate cake with raspberry mousse which I know you weren't too fond of but we had another layer of filling which was Irish Cream and it was to die for. It was so delicious and after we defrosted our top tier for our anniversary it held up very well. HTH!
