Channing C. says, "I shared my positive experience with Frosted Cakes via email with Thumbtack directly but I’ll reiterate what I said via email. Initially, I was hesitant to use Thumbtack again after my unfortunate experience with Svyat Bogdanov Photography, where I believe my funds were unfairly withheld despite no official services being scheduled. He never clearly communicated that the deposit was nonrefundable, nor did we have a signed contract or confirmed date or location. This left me feeling concerned that such issues might be a common theme among professionals on your platform and that these practices might not be sufficiently monitored. However, my experience with The Frosted Cake Bake Shop reaffirmed my faith in Thumbtack’s value. The process was professional, respectful, and transparent. She provided detailed information, clear expectations, and a proper contract. I confidently paid my deposit for my upscale graduation party Gala scheduled for October 4, 2025. I didn’t tell her about my experience with the photographer I found on your site but she unknowingly reassured me that not all professionals are dishonest or untrustworthy, and I am looking forward to working with her. I appreciate the platform that connects people with reputable professionals, and I hope my positive experience can serve as an example of the quality service Thumbtack can facilitate. I hate that I am out my $360.50 paid to Svyat Bogdanov Photography and am now going to have to pursue getting my money back via small claims court which comes with fees but I’m going to follow through with this because this type of business practice should not be allowed. Thank you for your continued efforts in maintaining a trustworthy platform for the most part and also attempting to address my issue with Svyat Bogdanov Photography even though I feel you all should have the ability to issue refunds."See more

Thaise Botinhoni says, "I want to start by saying that we absolutely loved our saved by the bundle package!The cake, cupcakes and cookies were so delicious we got compliments for days. The whole decoration with the sweets table and balloons, was beautiful and perfectly put together.You can tell they put so much thought and love into it, they even made my son his own dairy free, octopus cupcake, which of course, was the highlight of his day.The girls were punctual, professional, and quick to assemble everything!The quality or their work and material were very evident, specially the balloons.Due to them being booked the day of our party, they made a point to come a few days in advance to assemble the balloons and assured us that they would look the same. Sure enough, they looked fresh as new.The very next day, they came to tear it down and pick things up, and although I had to change the time we had initially scheduled for pick up, they were flexible and understanding. I 100% recommend Saved by the bundle for those who, like myself, dont like to plan parties and just love the convenience of having someone to bake, assemble and tear things down for you. It truly doesnt get any better than that!"See more

Shawn R. says, "Alisha and her bartender (I don't remember her name!) were amazing! They came over to prepare a dinner for my wife's birthday. They provided great conversation while also making delicious food and drinks. We miss restaurant quality food and got that experience while seated at the island in our kitchen. They were on-time, clean and made the day feel special."See more
