"Manger is a bit of a hustler in the back when it comes to speciality cakes- watch the price they offer if you come here. We were ready to go, and we feel that the manager tried to change the price last minute to make more money, so we walked out. Here’s the story:Walked in today to purchase a fondant cake for a party. Showed a picture of the cake (clearly fondant). We had called ahead and was told to come in when the manager was there.Walked in today, and a very nice woman helped us out. Told us it was about 290 for a 1 tier, 12 inch speciality fondant cake- which of course makes sense. We also wanted to purchase fondant cupcakes, so this was all adding up to around 400 plus, which was fine.Just as we were ready to make the payment, the manager came from the back and a second woman spoke with him. She then came over to us and told us the cake price was for butter cream and they told us the wrong thing. Now- I wonder about this butter cream, it must be a special butter cream because I have never seen a cake cost 300 for butter cream (unless maybe a wedding cake) but not a one tier 12 inch cake. We showed the picture and again, was told that the picture was buttercream (which it wasn’t and we went to a second place after having no issues)They falsely claimed that the picture wasn’t fondant but buttercream with fondant decorations on it. Not sure why they tried to do this. Maybe the manager or whoever that was thought they could squeeze a couple more dollars out of us but instead lost the entire sale.We walked out. Especially knowing cake prices and thinking that I spent less than 300 for my wife’s massive fondant birthday cake at a different place.We went to Francesco’s bakery (where I had gotten cakes in the past) in Hicksville. Had no issues. They charged less and gave us a much nicer cake.Up to you but we won’t be going back to Dortoni bakery. If you do go, watch the prices and if you feel the hustle coming, walk out. There’s better bakeries."
