Bit Bit,
Me too wanna know how much you paid for yr 3kg cake. Does SO charge you $40 for the pooh & friends figurines?
tobebride,
Bit Bit mentioned in her posting it is a 3kg cake. The figurines are from SO. I just went, and they charged me $40 saying is from Disney in additional to the cake price. Super ex cos the last time I ordered, I don't need to pay extra for figurines.

Hi Tobebride
We paid $220 for the 3-kg cake (excluding transport which is around $15). The figurines are provided by them.
However, the young lady, Cheryl, who attended to us didn't mention the additional $40 charge for the figurines leh...
In fact we were a bit surprised when she calculated and quoted the price of the cake.. cos I remember reading postings by some of the mommies who ordered the cake from SO tat their 3-kg cakes cost <$200..
So perhaps the price of the figurines might have already been incorporated into the final price of the cake liao...
Our gal's cake got additional figurines, Rabbit & Kangeroo, cos Cheryl said the 3kg cake layout is bigger, can accomodate more figures (normally they will only put Winnie, Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger)
In all we are very happy with the design of the cake... Most our guests were wowed by the design, though some did mention tat they felt that we'd been overcharged
Hihi Jenny, long time no talk!
I ordered the cake in end Dec 07. When did u go down to the shop to order??
I actually wanted the same figurines which I've seen on your gal's cake (yupe, hubby and I saw the cake which you ordered and decided to order from SO
), but they said they left the last set and the paint was slight chipped off, hence I opted for this design (which she said it's the latest)

Hi Hi! It has been a long time since we last chatted! You still remember me? How are you???
The lady who served me is also Cheryl. She din tell me they charged $40 for the pooh figurines too! After I confirmed my cake design, she was writing the invoice... then was charged $123+ for a 1.5kg cake. My hb got a shock and asked how come so ex cos we saw the price is like buttercream 1kg - $50, fresh cream 1kg - $55 lor. We did calculation ourselves and couldn't get the figures she calculated (my rough calculation for a 1.5kg cake is ard $90 or less lor). So, my hb asked and then she told us the pooh figurines cost $40!! We cancelled the pooh cake design and order another theme, where they charged the figurines for $10. I felt so cheated wor, cos last Oct I ordered a 1kg pooh cake, it is only $60 + GST, and the figurines prices are included. So I really got a shock this round. Anyway no point for the same pooh design cake right?
Just went last week only, ordered for my elder gal's 3rd bday. You saw my gal's cake?? Where???

Hi Jenny,
Of course I rem u, we used to chat in the SBW thread in the SB forum mah...
time really flies, now u r the proud Mommy of 2 gals, and myself, proud Mommy to my gal
aiyoh, i really kena 'ke-tok' liao...
u r right, every year get different design then got 'xin-xian-gan'
I think I saw ur gal's BD cake pix in one of the posting in the 2006 Mommies category... initially thinking of getting cake from Pine Gardens, but after reading about your bad experience, plus my colleague's strong discouragement, i decided not to order from PG...
Hi Tobebride,
I took the vanilla flavour with choco chip filling... actually wanted blueberry filling, but Cheryl suggested other types of filling, cos the blueberry filling will stain the vanilla spongecake and give a mouldy-colored look...

tobebride,
SO sponge cake flavour limited to choose from - chocolate, vanilla, orange flavour. I think one more flavour, but I can't remember which one liao.
I did posted the SO cake b4, but can't remember where liao =P It's a pooh & friends in picnic with river and tree.
Took chocolate sponge cake, no filling (just normal chocolate fresh cream).
Their cake not sweet. Elders will like.
bit bit,
All went MIAed after tat, then can't find any of you hahaha... Oh you know there's a SBW thread (think is under year 2008)? Some of us are there hor.
Your gal is Dec 2006 bb? That means my younger gal is 2 mths older than yours. Who's yr gynae?
I think I kena ketok also. Never mind lah, once a year. But really ex lor, cos this one I ordered is for home celebrations. I ordered some cupcakes with doraemon design for sch celebrations. Think cupcake not so messy for sch.
Haiz... I really had bad bad time with PG tat time!! Spoiled my mood when talk abt tat incident. Even my hb also angry. Have not been going there since the incident liao. I think for mini home celebration, if you are not fussy with design, you can go for them. But big time celebrations, I dun want to put myself with heart attack again.
I'm trying out other bakeries too, for taste and experiment. I dun want to "tie" myself to just one bakery lor.

belle,
For mong's, if you wanna avoid disappointment, you need to order at least 2 mths ahead.
I haven't tasted the cupcakes yet. I love her cake, not sweet.

spideyspice,
if you are getting cake from Smiling Orchid, they have the Dora and gang figurines for $10. However, they dun sell the figurines.
Dora figurines quite easy to get, check out their toy series, or mega blocks or playdough set.

blurbelle,
I heard quite a no of mummies encountered the same issue.
spideyspice,
yes, not too bad. Not sweet. But if you compare with Pine Gardens, Pine Garden cakes have more variety to choose from. But design wise, Smiling Orchid really did a good job, the kids will be impressed.

Thanks Jenny.
Bunz, it depends on your guests list. U can either hold it at condo function room, chalet, globetrotter, bambini, kidz loft, My Gym etc. As for cakes, just scroll upwards where kind mummies listed many good confectioneries which can produce 2D, 3D fanciful cakes.

haha... I will be getting my gal's cupcakes this Fri from Mongs for her sch celebration. I love her cake, she did my hb's cake last Nov. My hb loves too.
doremon,
I got Strawberry Shortcake theme cake for my gal's 3rd birthday from Smiling Orchid. My relatives all said very nice. We finished the 1.5kg on the day itself. Soft, not sweet. In fact, I feel it tasted better than my last order with them last year.

like to share my experience with PG...quite disappointed with their attitude...and the turnout of the cake..
corresponded with Chan Yun over email several times...every reply was a day later, or a few emails later..tried to call her over the phone to finalise details, but always couldn't get the line through...
when i went down to PG cake to show her the figurines and to finalise the cake details, i waited for 15mins, before she called me and told me she's busy and can't come down and meet me! I'm just downstairs in her shop! so much for service..!
will post the pucs of the cake shortly..and let you mommies decide if the $20 creative design charge is worth it...FYI, the figurines are provided by me..

sarah_angel,
frankly speaking, i feel you are overcharge for the creative design fee. Might as well just do a plain cake and you put the figurines onto the cake/cupcake yourself.

Picked up my girl's cake from PG yesterday. It is a standard design. I told Lee Keow that I want this design with the Sesame St characters. Top layer is lychee martini (which all my guest love) and bottom layer is strawberry fresh cream (equally yummy). Total price $99.50
This is our 3rd order with them. 1st was my 3-tier wedding cake, 2nd was my girl's 1st birthday.

young_mummy,
I tried on 2 occasion (interval time abt 3 weeks). 1st time very good, the chocolate cake is not sweet and rich. But I'm disappointed with 2nd time. Yucky, I threw away.
stressma,
Mong's schedule is already packed. Tried a booking for May, but Mong's can't do already.
<font color="119911">Pls check out her website at www.mongstirs.com and contact her for the prices. Price depends on your theme.</font>
MengChoo did the 3D doraemon. I provide nothing. Just told her I want doraemon theme.
