Alexandria Pastry catered our 25th Wedding Anniversary in January 2004, with our Unitarian minister performing a Renewal of Commitment Ceremony. We had 30 guests, and were very persnickity. We insisted on a lacto-ovo vegetarian, alcohol-free reception, with one exception for a champagne toast. Alexandria Pastry provided an entire meal of finger foods, to keep washing flatware out of the picture. They served a round of brie covered in a chutney, wrapped in phyllo, and baked; spanikopita; vegetable-and-nut wraps with whole wheat tortillas; and four more dishes, including two appetizers and a moutain of chocolate truffles for dessert, with sparkling water, hot mulled cider, and fruit juice. Not one guest realized this was a vegetarian meal! The piece de resistance was the "wedding cake" we never had 25 years ago: Passion Fruit Bavarian with Fresh Apricots and a Blackcurrant Glace. The three servers took care of everything: the timing of the dishes; setting up with attractive serving platters; getting the champagne to everybody at the same time; keeping dishes filled; and they took care of EVERY aspect, down to the tiniest, of cleaning up and removing rubbish. All extremely professional. And the consultant we worked with understood all of our rather peculiar needs, and dutifully kept within the budget we assigned to them. Everything was simply PERFECT. |

Twice (I should have learned the first time) they messed up a LARGE catering order (for a 3 day event!) and FORGOT to fill the order for my daughters birthday cake - I will not be going back out of principal! |

I used to go to this shop all of the time, however, I have noticed that the cakes I have loved dont taste the same.
It was almost stale. I wonder what happened to the service. |

I am NOT a cake fan... not the kind that likes icing and 'cake bread' and mushy strawberry filling...
You've never seen 'cake' like these... they are bavarian creams and light mousses with fresh fruit in a VERY WIDE selection of flavors.
On the deli side, the selections are sold by weight and are inventive, fresh made and flavorful... including things like 'real' char-grilled veggies and marinated sliced sirloin. |
