WESTBURY MANOR BRIDES

Did you do your cake through them as well?

Re: WESTBURY MANOR BRIDES

I did. They used Francesco's bakery in Hicksville. You can call them directly for a tasting. He is nice and all but I feel like the cake we tasted at the tasting was way better than what we got day of. That and honestly, the work was sloppy. The quilting was light and kind of crooked and the seams on the ribbon were all over the place that there wasn't a good 'front' of the cake. Don't know how others feel about them - maybe it was an off day. I got the grooms cake from Dortoni's and it was perfect.

FM me if you have any questions.

Re: WESTBURY MANOR BRIDES

I am so nervous about this now, my cousin went a wedding there on Friday night and she said the only thing that wasnt right was the cake. she said it was leaning and the bakery would not use the 2 colors of ribbon she wanted she had to use just one. I didnt take the cake in our package they gave us a chocolate fountain instead, i am going to go somewhere else for our cake.

Re: WESTBURY MANOR BRIDES

The free cakes were just very plain, I mean I can dress them up with flowers from the florist, but I dont want real flowers on my cake. i'd rather play the 300 bucks or whatever and have a more appealing cake, now if they screw it up I feel really bad for them after the fact

Re: WESTBURY MANOR BRIDES

When did you schedule your cake tastings? I'm nervous about Francescos, but don't want to spend more money!!

Re: WESTBURY MANOR BRIDES

I'm going the 24th. If it was who was at the expo in Mar. I'm not too worried about taste. I'm worried about presentation. Have u guys looked at the free cakes book at WM

Re: WESTBURY MANOR BRIDES

no, but I'm going there tomorrow for the cocktail hour tasting, so I'm hoping they'll have a book for me to look through!

Re: WESTBURY MANOR BRIDES

They have the free cake book. When I spoke to Kelly about my menu she told me to work with the bakery and I would just pay for the upgrades

Re: WESTBURY MANOR BRIDES UPDATE

I personally would probably never get a cake from them. FM me if you want details, but if you can get a cake somewhere else.

Re: WESTBURY MANOR BRIDES

My suggestion is if you are going to deal with anyone....deal with Francesco the owner. Lilly was a complete idiot

Re: WESTBURY MANOR BRIDES

Yes and it was gorgeous and tastey :) We used whipped cream icing and it looked perfect!

Re: WESTBURY MANOR BRIDES

i did not use them for the wedding...because they did my bridal shower cake and it was horrible...the wrong color fondant and ribbon and the fondant was bumpy and just plain ugly...

we used macayla micheals for the wedding and my cake was fabulous...one of my favorate parts of the wedding...there should be a picture in my album...good luck!
