Please tell me what you know about the Milleridge bakery and its cakes/wedding cakes.....
We are getting married there in the beginning of August and ordered two cakes from the bakery to 'sample' their cake (as it was not included in our tasting). One cake was absolutely AWFUL and the other was pretty bad too... now we are pretty bummed about the prospects of having a tasty (or even edible) wedding cake. I really didn't want to have to spring for a separate wedding cake from another bakery when it is already included in the cost of the reception hall.
The flavors we sampled were both whipped cream icing- one was chocolate cake with cannoli filling and the other was yellow cake with chocolate mousse filling.
I know that bakeries often make cakes well in advance of when the cake is actually served, but this was ridiculous...the cake was simply stale. Nothing was good about it- not the cake, the filling, nor the icing.
Anyone have any feedback? Please. Thanks!

Re: Milleridge Cakes
Are you kidding??? Our cake was INCREDIBLE. How could they go from amazing cakes to bad ones in one year?
Of course, I only like white / vanilla cake with buttercream and vanilla pudding... I'm not a chocolate person at all when it comes to cakes. So I can only attest to what we had.
It was fabulous and gorgeous and everything I wanted in a wedding cake. It's my avatar too!
ETA: Close-up of cake:
That's all buttercream on the outside, not fondant. I think fondant is gross, and they could make the pattern I wanted out of buttercream. Best of both worlds!

HI Girls,
I wanted to update you on the Milleridge cake situation. We tried the fondant with vanilla cake and raspberry filling along with chocolate mousse. It was DELICIOUS!
I think it is the butter cream that we don't like. So now, we are super excited and will have the yummiest of cakes and are going with the fondant!
