Cake Tasting Part Two

So, we went cake tasting at Portos back in July and got a price quote with delivery on how much a three tier cake and a 1/4 sheet would be.  They told us shipping would be like 30 dollars which was AWESOME since they were shipping it from Glendale to Newport.  Silly me (Allison) forgot to make sure the lady wrote everything down, including the shipping cost.  We scheduled our final cake tasting, which was a ROYAL PAIN to set up.  I had called and the lady just wasn't understanding that this was our second tasting and we had very specific types that we wanted to taste.  I was sure she screwed it up.

We got there, barely on time because little Tyler was late from work...surprise, surprise.  Then he missed the exit.  Needless to say, I was already in a bad mood.  They took us to the room to taste the cakes and I showed the new lady the quote we were given.  She told us it would cost 100 more to deliver the cake.  I L.O.S.T. it.  I told her the other lady told us it would be 30 and I wanted to talk to that lady.  The lady came out and was backstepping saying she never said that (BULL).  So I freaked out and lost it.  I was that bride that cried at the cake tasting.  Yep, that's me.  Full on tears streaming down my face out of frustration because it would cost 100 more than we were anticipating plus our guest list just kept growing.  (that's another topic all together).  Anyway, lucky me, the owner of Portos walked by while I was having my meltdown and said that no bride should cry over delivery and she would cover the cost.  My hero!

After that was settled, they brought out more cakes for us to taste.  Not to my surprise, they were NOT the ones we listed as wanting to taste.  So I tried to remain calm through the hell of a cake tasting we were experiencing and I told her that these were not the ones we requested to taste and that we had already tried these.  UGH.  She tried to fix it but it took FOREVER.  After deciding on a white cake for all three tiers with strawberry cream filling for all of them and a white sheet cake with strawberry fruit filling, the lady (who was also the manager) decided it'd be best to place the order now even though it was 10 months ahead of time just to make sure it wasn't going to be screwed up again.

So the point of this...cake tasting/ordering was HELL but we got through it and saved the Schrey's $100 on the cake!  ugh.
