Sweet Retreat Cake Boutique - Crown Point, Indiana

Krystal Dravesky

Our wedding cake, groom's cake, and cupcakes turned out amazing! The flavors were delicious, and everyone raved about them. Even the security officer asked where the cake had come from because he had eaten a lot at weddings and ours (specifically the groom's cake: banana cake with Nutella filling) was the best he'd ever had. Sweet Retreat was very responsive with their communication and completely brought my vision to life!

Subject: Feedback on Recent Order Experience

I wanted to share my recent experience regarding a large order I placed for our business open house, scheduled for pickup at 9 AM this morning. My husband arrived at the designated time, only to find the lights off and the door locked. A message on the door stated that the business was out on a delivery and advised to call for assistance.

Despite my husband's repeated attempts to reach someone by phone, there was no response. As a result, we were left without desserts for our event. In the meantime, he had to go to Beck's Bakery down the street to source items for the dessert table.

At 9:44 AM, I received a Facebook message from the owner, which included several excuses for the situation. Given this experience, I cannot recommend this bakery, as I have never encountered such a lack of professionalism. I had placed my trust in them for a special occasion, and unfortunately, it was not upheld.

The flavors are absolutely delicious. This is my second time using them for an event. This time was for my wedding shower. When I picked everything up it all looked very good. I was very pleased when I picked it up. But when I got home and started looking more I noticed there were some cookies with writing on them that was so sloppy and poorly done. Now out of 24 cookies, only 5 were poorly done. So it's not that much of a loss but it was still disheartening to see it got sloppy.
This won't prevent me from using them again in the future but I know next time to look at them a bit longer before I leave their bakery.
Sweet Retreat is one of the best bakeries around and it is always delicious

Sweet Retreat did our dessert table at our wedding in April 2023. we got 4 different flavors of cupcakes, chocolate covered strawberries and Oreo truffles. It was all amazing!! We got tons of compliments from our guests!

Original Post: This was such a horrible experience at Cake Retreats. We were supposed to have a party to serve cake and ice cream and could not do it because of how the cake looked when we got home. We live no more than 7 mins from the bakery and within that time the cake was sinking into the bottom layer. It also, was sliding to the point where it almost fell out of the box. We knew that it was definitely something wrong with the structure of the cake after seeing this. As we cut into the cake it was being supported in the middle by small cheap plastic straws. I have never seen something so unprofessional in my life. It was truly such a disappointment! The only reason why I gave it 1 star was because the cake itself was good. However, the presentation was absolutely horrible. When I (myself) reached out to the owner she never apologized or offered any accommodation. Even when we sent pictures of how the cake looked after a 7 min drive home the owner mentioned that the cake looked fine while in the bakery so it had nothing to do with her how it looked after it left! Even though she was aware that the cake was only being supported with a thin piece of cardboard and 3 small plastics straws. This was a 2 tier cake and that was not enough support. I hate to say it but myself and many other people including workmates, graduates, facilities, and families will no longer choose to work with Sweet Retreats again!

Reply post: The owner only replied to my message after I mentioned that it was posted on Google reviews. Also, the owner posted private screenshots of our conversation on Facebook! I will know ask bakeries how their cakes are supported to make sure I never have to
Go through this again!

Our wedding cake was beautiful and delicious. This bakery was wonderful to work with! They delivered in a timely matter all thw way from Crown Point to Michigan City and was the most reasonably priced caterer.

This is my second purchase from sweet retreat & everything was perfect for my birthday. She perfected my cake i didn’t even want to cut it. The cake was super moist and the frosting was delicious. The cakes are super huge and the price are very reasonable. I can’t wait to purchase my next cake. She has a customer for life.
