You seem to have a bit of a bug up your ass about this point.

The recipe for chocolate suicide cake, et al, was "perfected" long before any of us on this forum were ever conceived. Although from your posts it appears you had a rare bad experience with the shop, you do not know for certain if Darcy implements the old recipes exactly the same, or if she has in fact "perfected" them.

Yes, a big bug. I expressed my opinion like everyone else and that's all I have to say about the matter

MY opinion of Darcy and her shop is tops! Twice now during the dead of winter when she is not even officially open, she has graciously made me a custom version (no raspberry!) of her delicious chocolate suicide cake for my hubby's birthday.

The cake is fantastic, the service is friendly and attentive, and I'd highly recommend her.

I would like to start off by saying that I think luvmypups is getting beat up pretty bad here and all he/she is doing is giving their opinion. I have to say that I have visited love bites on more than one occasion and I have mixed reviews. When I went last summer their cases were stocked, and the desserts were very good. But I did go back over the winter and I couldn't believe the difference. It had really gone down hill!!! I don't know what happened. I DID decide to give her another chance and order the chocolate suicide that everyone has been raving about and to be completely honest I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. Not only was the person that I talked to very rude but I wasn't happy with the cake either. The chocolate had a very bad after taste (which usually means cheap chocolate) and the outside was very poorly decorated. I also got a couple other things one of which was a cheesecake which was VERY overbaked and sour.The last thing I thought I would do when I found this site was to post a negative post but I just couldn't keep my mouth shut. So I have to agree 100% with luvmypups. And I can say that there are plenty of people that I know that feel the same way.

You took the time to make your comments known on the forum, but did you go back and express them to the people personally??? I am sure they would love to hear them directly from you and possibly they would try and correct the situation that YOU had.
