ethel,
yes, PG emailed me your cake design for sample. I saw it somewhere and they still emailed me.
No need to find the big bird cake to show me, cos I SAW THAT. Totally out of shape.
stressma,
Party shop dun sell figurines... if not you won't see so many mummies looking ard. BTW, if you are doing strawberry shortcake theme, I advised you get the cake from Smiling Orchid. I saw their designs, very nice. If not, there's actually a lot of strawberry shortcake figurines selling at dept stores. Mickey seldom see lor.
<font color="0000ff">Disappointment with PG
======================</font>
I finally saw the cake yesterday (cos passed 12am liao). I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH PG THIS TIME!!!! The cake that I ordered didn't look like a 3kg cake. It was only less than 1/2 the size of my elder gal's cake last year which was also 3kg. And worse, the design was not what I discussed with Chan Yun! She told me they can do the design I want, that's why I change my order from Smiling Orchid to PG. The cake was so simple that I or any bakery shop can bake and then just add the figurines that I provided onto the cake. Yet still charge me artistic charge of $25. I told Chan Yun I'm very very disappointed with them, and we are not going back to them any more. In fact, I also told her that there's a no. of mummies having problems with PG designs recently. Anyway, the so called 3kg cake was so small that I asked Chan Yun, "you think this can feed 80 guests? It looks like 1.5kg to me." and she just kept quiet. Before I left, Chan Yun asked me "so you still have other food right beside the cake?" Come on, a party w/o a cake, will it be like a party?? Or rather a party with maybe say 1 slice of cake, doesn't it look weird? What kind of remark is that?? Ended I was left with no choice but to buy another 1kg cake off the shelf. And personally I find the cake taste was only so-so, unlike the normal times that I bought.
Before me, were a couple who were there to collect their cake. I thinked they must have waited for q long and PG couldn't find their cake. That man was super angry and shouted at them.
When it came to my turn, they told me my cake wasn't ready yet and they were doing on it, asked me to wait for another 15 mins. My heart sank cos I dun think they would do a good job this round. My collection time stated 5pm, I reached PG at 5.15pm cos they said they couldn't fit into my delivery schedule. Ok, I purposely made a trip down, and ended I waited for abt 20 mins when I finally saw the cake, and almost fainted. Argued with them for another 10 mins. I was really late as I was expected my catering to come at 6pm to do setup. 5.50pm I was still at PG. Chan Yun said she would ask the chef to redo. Pls lah, how to redo when there's no time??
Ok, one plus point, the oneh oneh that I ordered was simply too good.
Actually after reading sillycow's comments, I already dun feel good haiz... My hb said never go PG again (he's very very disappointed). I should have sticked to my order with Smiling Orchid who I know they will definately do a much better job that PG. And I dun even need to go and source for the figurines as Smiling Orchid provides them. I really regretted this round.
On my way rushing to my party venue, I received 2 SMSes from Chan Yun, saying she's apologetic and said she would check and reverted to me next week. I'm wondering what's she's going to revert? In fact, my hb was so disappointed and angry that he told me he won't want to go PG to buy cakes anymore.
I urged Mummies ordering cake with PG, pls seek PG's expertise for the no. of kg for the cake for your no. of guests. My 3kg cake was really too small, which I thinked can only feed 40 pax. I want my guests to have big slice cake, not miserable small pc. How can my 2nd gal's 3kg cake is only half the size of my elder's gal 3kg cake?? Weird isn't it?? Some more my 2nd gal's cake is 2 tier and my 1st gal's cake is 3 tier. How can they be such a big difference? I liaise with Li Keow for my elder gal's cake design, and the cake turned out to be actually the one I want. My 2nd gal's cake, I liase with Chan Yun and it turned out totally wrong! I even attached my design to the email.
