4 reviews for Das Meyer Fine Pastry Chalet
Caveat: This review is from a visit back in April 05 for a wedding that August.
This is the most charming wedding bakery I have ever been to. As a bridesmaid, I attended one of Das Meyer's weekend tasting events to help the bride-to-be select the perfect cake. She ended up choosing their "Godiva White Chocolate", 3 tiered with real orchids surrounding a fondant finish. It was as delicious as it was beautiful.
As a first-time wedding cake shopping experience, I can't tell you what would be considered expensive, but this place seemed very well priced and can fit any budget. It's a family-run business with the father and son team producing the confection masterpieces while the mother daughter duo leads the front end of the shop, helping clients make their selections.
If I still lived in CO, Das Meyer would be my first choice for a wedding cake vendor. I wonder if they ship??
Reminder: Free cake tasting every Saturday morning for those future parties...........
I recently had the strawberries & champagne, but the orange dream tastes exactly like a dreamsicle (but in baked form.)
We have been getting Das Meyer cakes for years and have never been let down - tasted great, awesome decorations - but I just cut into my birthday cake and was surprised to see it was NOT what we ordered. We ordered white chocolate with raspberry filling. No raspberry filling. My husband called to inquire what was going on and they told him "Oh, yeah we gave you a $5 discount because we didn't have raspberry today". What? They never even bothered to tell him in person that it wasn't the cake he ordered.
They offered to make me a complimentary 6" (miniature) cake in the flavor I ordered, but tonight is my birthday and birthday party - nice try. They refused to refund our money. On top of it all, the cake was disgusting. I have never been disappointed in their cakes - but this was almost "wet" tasting, and the filling (without raspberry, of course) was too thin and watery. We will NOT be using them for any functions in the future.
I was most upset with their customer service. I do not think that a $5 discount is adequate for not giving you the right order - and it is completely unacceptable that they did NOT inform my husband that the cake was incorrect when he picked it up. I would give them 0 stars if I could.
UPDATE:
I went back 2 days after my birthday to pick up my "complimentary cake". I dealt with the owner's daughter who was rude an unapologetic and said no less than 5 times "you got exactly what you ordered, it just didn't have raspberry filling". Then I DIDN'T get exactly what I ordered, did I?
She was upset that I returned the uneaten cake and kept saying we could have eaten it - I told her that it was not what we ordered, so why would we eat it? Had we known it was incorrect, we wouldn't have brought it home at all.
After 10 minutes of discussion and no progress, I accepted $5 and the 6" inch cake (which was delicious, of course) and left. So, we ended up paying $30 for a 6" cake 2 days after my birthday.
A complete disappointment. We will never be back.
Das Meyer made the cake for our wedding, and it was fantastic! It looked great and it tasted fabulous! Although I wanted it to look nice, it was very important to me that it tasted good, so I decided against fondant, which looks beautiful, but tastes horrible, and went with three cake flavors: chocolate lovers, strawberries & champagne, and creme brulee with butter cream frosting. Compared to other bakeries that we visited, it was very reasonable, and more laid back. They have a free cake tasting every Saturday morning, so it made it really easy to stop by and make a decision in a low pressure environment. I highly recommend this place.
