ZERO communication

We arrived to their mailing address for pickup for our cake tasting as this was the address listed on the Google calendar appointment they sent us at the time of payment/booking, but it was just their PO BOX. We then googled them and found out they operate out of a private home and were able to drive there for pick up. When we arrived, we called three times and no one answered. Since it took us an hour to drive to them, we stayed around for 15 minutes and received no communication.

Overall - unprofessional service, zero communication, and I WILL be requesting a refund for the cake tasting that was never received.

Great and Unique

Our cake was awesome. The flavors were so fresh- just like we had at the tasting, even better. The design was unique because we wanted it to be a reflection of us. She captured that really well. Very affordable and high quality. Definitely would recommend.

Amazing and Delicious

The cake was amazing. Violet is not cheap but it's true what they say- you get what you pay for. It was first class all the way, they do a job a cut above everybody else. Well worth it.
