My birthday cake

by jammerwind at Citysearch

I was celebrating my 65th Birthday and because I didn't live in the area I traveled 40 miles to order a cake from Borracchini's. I picked the cake up the day before my birthday and was totally surprised that the cake decorating looked like a 5 year old had done it. I told them that is not what I ordered and the girl trying to be pleasant told me they would redo it. It was suppose to have cherry buds in delicate colors instead I got blue cherry blossoms? Anyone ever seen blue cherry blossoms? she showed me a picture and I oked it and they redid the cake telling me it would be $6.00 more. I was so upset I said ok but then I just couldn't believe it when the cake came out and ...well omg...I will never go back. I paid for the cake and left and I will never return. My heart at this point was broke believing I would have a wonderful cake and I didn't. I took the cake to my local bakery and they removed the decoration and put cherry blossoms that where so beautiful. I had to pay nothing even they where amazed if it hadn't been in the box they would have never believed it came from there. They have lost a good customer I will never go back to that store...I will stay with my home town bakery they are the best...Oh bye the way the cake wasn't that great either...Diane Amundson, Tacoma

• Cons: the cake was totally unprofessional

i hsve been going to remo's for years and always ordered the same kind of cake. when my son went to cut his cake it was not the right one .I was so dissapointed. I even repeated to the person a few times for the cake to be chocolate with ice icing and that my son'w name was spelled with 2 LL's. when i got there it was spelled wrong. they have messed up on the spelling before and they always correceted it right on the spot.

But there is no correcting a wrong cake after the bakery is closed for the day.

• Pros: fast making cake
• Cons: look carefully on the cake for mispelled name -ask if this is the right type of cake

I love this place. When I was little my mom used to take us for cake. Everytime I see that cake box I get happy. Just a few years ago I started getting other things there. The panini sandwiches....mmmmmm....the roast beef and havarti cheese and soft bread...to die for!! stuffed olives? um.

Love this place, a definite south seattle treasure!! worth the trip!!

• Pros: food and the cake especcially the fillings!!
• Cons: havent found any yet!
