I had ordered Engagement cake from the cafe and they have done a splendid job. They went above and BEYOND my expectations! I sent them a few photos and explained the theme I wanted. They were able to take my design and make a few adjustments plus they researched my theme and were able to add even more elements to the cake that I wasn’t expecting! They were super friendly and I couldn’t have had a better experience! The cake was SOOO delicious too! Thank you Higher Grounds , Karad. I was so so so pleased with the final result and will use them again in the future for sure.
