Re: Question for girls that got married at WESTBURY MANOR...

as far as my memory goes:

you are given a book of cakes to look at and you can pick if you want your cake round or square, stacked or tiered, decorations, fillings and icing. I'm sure they can do anything - but you may have to pay extra.

We went with a square, stacked devils food cake with chocolate and vanilla pudding and chocolate ganache icing. We had to pay extra for the ganache - i think it was an extra $150 - or maybe $100.

The cake was delicious though - I remember that much!Chat Icon

Re: Question for girls that got married at WESTBURY MANOR...

yea, that seems to be what all the halls do. but SIL is getting ready to book them and she just told me that the guy told her she can have any cake she wants, just bring a pic. does that seem odd? Chat Icon ...or is WM just that good?

their cakes are made by a bakery in Bethpage - Erga? Ergo? something like that. I'm sure they can do anything - but it wont necessarily be included in the price - she may have to pay for an upgrade if she wants fondant, etc.

I looked at a book and picked out a cake, I never asked them about any other options... but that was a year ago, maybe they have changed. That would be cool to be able to bring them a pic!

Re: Question for girls that got married at WESTBURY MANOR...

I just picked a cake from their book and then I let my florist ruin it with flowers, because I was so tired of making decisions and spending money that I thought I didn't care anymore.

I believe if you want something that they themselves can't do for you, they'll put you in direct contact with their baker. I know the other LIW bride who got married there the same day I did had a beautiful cake and I'm pretty sure she dealt with the bakery directly.

would this be too complicated? she insists that there's no book and she can have whatever she wants at no additional charge. she emailed me this pic and said she's bringing it to them...mind you, her wedding isnt until next august!

I'm posiitive they charged her for it though - I know for a fact they were charging for extras back then. Who knows how things may have changed since then though (2004).

ah, I see.....maybe given that the wedding is so far away she can bargain for the extra as a freebie???

IMO that's a bit much for a freebie considering the amount of work that goes into it, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

My cake was a poor-man's busted version of that one. I have a serious case of cake-envy. Chat Icon Chat Icon

Don't even waste your energy. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the show because if that's her attitude, she's going to drive herself INSANE. And she'll probably come up short in the long run. Poetic justice! Chat Icon
