Interesting that this blog was written on June 7th. My wedding was on June 4th and we ordered our wedding cake from Potito's, in fact, we didn't even look or call anywhere else. We didn't care was the price was, we loved Potito's. My husband is a South Philly native and we have always loved Potito's. We were so happy when they re-opened! Well, a word of warning, if you want your cake deliveried on time and you do not want your caketopper destroyed, DO NOT have Potito's for your wedding cake.
ReplyDeleteOur cake arrived as the guest were arriving, it was deliveried an hour and a half late. The delivery guys rushed displaying our cake and placing our cake topper (which was a gift that went along with our theme) it fell and shattered. They replaced it with an embarassing plastic toy looking thing. It just looks great in pictures:( To top it off, Potito's did not even bother to inform us of this "accident" We have called 6 times so far, and no one will call us back!
It saddens me to have to write this about our favorite bakery, but it was our wedding cake, the only one I will ever have! This could have been handled alot differently.
Jenk, while I appreciate your difficulties, it has not been anyone elses that I have spoken to. Suggest you read my reply to other places you posted about ways to avoid this problem (such has having delivery time earlier than needed, delivering your cake topper yourself or having your day of coordinator be in charge of it, etc. Every bakery has sanfus and I am sorry you had this experience on your wedding day. Delivery to or from Philadelphia is always tricky due to traffic and roads, so you and your bakery need to factor these issues into your delivery schedule.
