Image of the online advertisement
Image of the actual cake
Dear Fashion PULIS,
My mother got this deal a few weeks ago on line in time for my brother's birthday. From the ordering to the reserving of the cake, it turned out to be a major disappointment. The cake company was so hard to contact and the staff won't even reply to our texts messages.
It was even worse when we picked up the cake. It was so ugly and it looked so different from the photo that was advertised online. My 11-year-old brother, who is a big crybaby , was really upset when he saw his cake.
We also ordered the cake pops which were sticking to the plastic. The sticks came off and we had to place them on top of another cake. I tried one and it tasted like uncooked cake dough.
I hope this serves as a warning to the people who also got this deal. Please be more cautious in availing promos because pictures can really be deceiving.
Thank you very much FP! God bless.
Yours truly,
Jen Ngo
hehe nkikita q to s facebook!!!
ReplyDeleteDid they the 1st picture as an ACTUAL picture of the cake or just a sample? Gosh.. the 2nd pic was indeed a disappointment.
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't be angry from a false advertisement... tssskkk this coupon companies, konti lang talaga ang mapagkakatiwalaan
ReplyDeleteSa QC ba itey? Same experience here. Cake pops naman yung samin. Imbyerna talaga. Ang layo na nga nila ang jonget pa ng gawa.
ReplyDeleteKalowka! Parang school project Lang. Did u complain to the site wer u bought this "deal".?
ReplyDeleteparang pinaglaruan lng tsk tsk tsk....
ReplyDeletekalerqui ha
ReplyDeleteWow! I'll definitly get angry to if i receive this crappy cake.. Kahit di ko nakita yung supposed-to-be/pictured cake, Maiiyak talaga ko sa cake na to! Sana di nyo na lang tinanggap yung cake,then ask for a refund na lang tapos buy some from red ribbon or goldilocks.. Grabe talaga mga manloloko ngayon online.. Super dami na!
ReplyDeleteOWVER SA KACHAKAHAN!!! Talagang ma-a-angry bird ang peg mo nyan.
ReplyDeletehala!OMG muntik na kami bumili nito para sa binyag, nasilaw sa discount...thanks for this mukhang up padin yung deal and we were still planning on buying. but now, wag na no. i think the best out there is lj moreno's lollicake factory. dun nalang.
ReplyDeleteparang clay tuloy yung labas ng angry birds. hirap sila sa paghulma. parang bata yung gumawa!
ReplyDeleteampanget lang ng 2nd pix.
ReplyDeletecustomers should have protection from shady businesses like that. ireport sa DTI and consumer welfare (do we even have that? hehe) nakakagigil!
ReplyDeleteung isang pig, ung ears nya parang pinisil lang para may masabing tenga. tsk tak. anong name nung 'bakeshop' kung matatawag man syang ganon? para naman maiwasan namin. grabe lang.

Hahahaha. Ang panget ng cake! Natatawa ako sa sobrang kachakahan ng cake. Kaloka! Kung ako ang nakabili niyan, naku baka sumabog yang cake na yan sa mga feslak nila. Hahaha. Ang chaka sobra!
ReplyDeleteKalerqui. Just seen this. Sa mga ganyang site siguro, we just have to purchase yung services offered but not the products. Pwede talaga mabago eh. My friend is a frequent buyer of vouchers from the site para sa mga services and wala naman siya nai-comment na masama about it. Yun lang, we just have to be very careful. :)

ReplyDeleteI love the cake idea, but that's so bad!
ReplyDeleteoo, November 7, 2011 1:37 AM, mukhang daga ... dagang si doding from bananas in pajamas. hahahahahaah
ReplyDeleteI love the cake idea, but that's so bad!
ReplyDeleteThanks to Anonymous 1:33AM, I was able to google the deal. :-)
ReplyDeleteI would rather pay a P500 peso cake or mini cake from red ribbon / goldilocks and buy mini angry birds figurines instead of this crap. that bake shop company deserves a slap.
ReplyDeletemedyo late na ata to for Halloween ah!
ReplyDeleteBaka naman po binagay lang sa Halloween!
ReplyDeleteShet ... kakabili ko lang Ng pang patunaw Ng taba sa deal site na yan.. Baka matunaw dn ako parang yung Chaka angry bird cake huhuhuu

An 11-year old did the actual cake. :))
ReplyDeleteWhat's the use of posting this article and pictures regarding false advertising & warning the readers when you can't name the perpetrator? It's like "get yourself victimized first and learn your lesson, then warn others but no naming of names, just do your homework." Big help, geez.
ReplyDeleteI really had a good laugh with the 2nd pic(sorry ha). The deal at M is still up but its mentioned there that redemption period is from Nov.20 to Jan. So which site it is?
ReplyDeleteLooks like an 11-year old did the actual cake. :))
ReplyDeleteYou know, one more thing that made this cake more ugly and unacceptable is the lettering.. My gosh, what color is that? Better if they havent put it there, mas acceptable pa. iiyakan mo na lang ung ugly birds hahaha.
ReplyDeleteI really feel sorry for the kid who was given this cake.. Maski ako maiiyak. Also to the mother who really has no choice but to present it to the bday kid, nandyan na eh di ihanda na lang di ba? And mukhang clay ung mga ugly birds. Nkain ba nila ito?
ReplyDeleteMukhang sabotage ito. Hindi kaya galit yun baker sa may-ari kaya ganito ang labas?

Te, Google mo na lang 'yung sinabi ni Anonymous November 7, 2011 1:33 AM. ANUVA! Basa lang ng konti!
I saw this deal before and even thought of buying kasi nga mura. favorite kasi ng mga pamangkin ko yung angry birds. buti na lang nakita ko to.. THANKS FP!!
ReplyDeleteMapapa -Angry ka naman tlga sa sobrang ka-chakahan ng cake na ito! Sarap imudmod sa pagmumukha ng gumawa nyan!!!
ReplyDeleteNakakaiyak sa kapangitan juskooooo!!!!!
ReplyDeleteUulitin ko, NALOLOKA AKO SA PINGOT TENGA NG BIIK! HAHAHAHA Jusko! Happy Monday! HAHAHA
ReplyDeleteang CHAKCAKE!!!!
ReplyDeletePanget!!!! Oo m ang deal. M ang shop.
ReplyDeletethank u for posting buti nalang di ako bumili...
ReplyDeleteParang inutos lng nya sa katulong nya "dai gayahin mo nga asa larawan at yung tenga pingutin mo lang!" at naglamyerda muna si amo dahil long weekend!
ReplyDeleteKung ako yan..no DEAL na ko..kahit sikat pa yan sa METRO manila..
ReplyDeleteI have the same situation, where can i send you the pics? baka parehas kami ng inorderan nito! ang ganda ng pic napaka panget in person. and di lang ako naloko. everytime na may oorder sa exact date ng bday tatawag at sasabihing naospital nanay niya or may nangyaring masama kaya di magagawa yung cake or cupcakes o kaya naman sasabihin niya kaya ganyan kasi di siya makaconcentrate dahil nga stress siya sa nangyayari sa family niya! MODUS!
ReplyDeleteangry birds parin naman..AFTER the slingshot. lol
ReplyDeletebwahahaha!! laughtrip! ugly birds talaga.
ReplyDeleteThe coupon group : M
ReplyDeleteThe cake company : M.K. in New Manila.
I bought coupons for this deal, actually thousands of people did. The worst part is, the deal is continually advertised. M is still selling deals. M.K. who is still getting a stream of orders for their ugly cakes, cupcakes and cakepops until now even though a lot of people are complaining about their customer service and end product.
I found their Facebook page a week before my son's birthday and was really angry when I saw their cake samples. The cakes they advertised were deceptive, so I hurriedly looked for another supplier.
While I was looking for other cake suppliers, I googled "Angry Bird Cake" and Angry Bird Cupcakes" pictures. I found the pictures that were posted on the coupon site M but the pictures were not samples by the bakery M.K. THEY WERE JUST GRABBED FROM OTHER WEBSITES (A US and SG based site I think). The cakepop pictures were also taken from an angry bird cakepop tutorial website.
So, that's why you wouldn't get the same cake advertised on M. Because the pictures belong to another website.
Did M.K., the cake supplier sent those pictures to M, the coupon site to deceive people to buy their cakes? Or was this M's marketing strategy to get more people to buy their deals???
i ordered the same cake pops using the deal. not only did i have sooo much difficulty in contacting the bakeshop for the reservation and actual pickup date (all contact numbers were either not in service or cannot be reached during the day, and i just received text msgs late at night.. no apologies or explanations whatsover as to the difficutlties). my husband called on the day itself to inform them that he was on his way to pick up the goods, and got a go signal. however he was still asked to wait (in the garage) for thirty minutes as the cakepops were still being made! handed to him still hot, portions of the fondant got stuck to the plastic wrapping. this is a home-based bakeshop (M) in NewManila.
ReplyDeletebumili din kami ng deal dito sa M sa MSK bakeshop na to for cupcakes. oki namn itsura nung cupcakes nila nung time na yun. yun nga lang nung iclaim namin, pinaghintay kami sa labas ng gate ng compund (mga townhouse
ReplyDeletesa new manila) na para kaming mga yagit na naghihintay na ilabas yung cupcakes. ewan ko lang ngayon kung nagpapapasok na yung guard.
This person is a disgrace! I bake myself and nakakahiya na he/she would let a product as ugly as this go out of his/her shop or home. Dapat di tinanggap ng buyer ito!
ReplyDeleteI am slightly confused. Bakit tinanggap nung bumili ito? Ang instant reaction would be not to accept diba, and the buyer has every right to decline the product and get a refund right there and then. According to the ad, a lot of people have already bought this cake, bakit ito lang ang nagreklamo? I think this may be a sabotage, just like the one who reported a cockroach in a sago drink.
ReplyDeleteoh my.. I almost got this deal pa naman sana for my twin sons' bday. Buti na lang hindi ko tinuloy. Medyo nagdududa na ako sa mga deals na yan eh.
ReplyDeleteReport to DTI!
ReplyDeleteSa E ba to? because palage naman ako nagchecheck jan wla akong napansin na ganyang deal.
ReplyDeleteano ba yan?!!!! my 7 year old son does a better job at making polymer clay angry birds!
ReplyDeleteThe cake shown on the 2nd photo isn't even worth 500 bucks. Mas masaklap pa ichura nyan sa pinagpraktisan sa baking school.
ReplyDeleteKalerky ang bakeshop na ito. Puchupuchu! Haha!
It doesn't even matter if the first pic is an actual "sample" work ng bakers nila, they're selling food, much worse, artistic pa ang presentation coz its a cake, they can't use some other baker's sample and claim it as their sample kung hindi naman nila kaya iduplicate.
Dun sa nagrereklamo why the bakeshop wasn't named in FP's entry, hmmm... Spoonfeeding talaga ang bet mo, teh? Asan naman na ang silbi ng google, diba? Madali lang rin naman mahanap because of all the clues mentioned by fp. Minsan kasi sipagan din magbasa ng comments. Hehe! Gusto talaga i-spoonfeed lahat ng info anubeh.
On a lighter note. Kawawa naman ang berdeng biik, makiki-berdey nalang napingot pa. Nyahaha! :D kahit ata sa ads ng play doh hindi uubra ichura ng cake na yan. Pweh! Mwahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteKung ako yan baka tinirador ko yan sa pagmumukha ng gumawa ng cake, just like the game angry birds.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Why post this complaint here, tell us to beware, and not mention the details? Labo. And don't tell us to to just read through all the comments. We don't want to search for a pin in this haystack. Thanks but no thanks for the help.
ReplyDeleteYan ang uso ngayon -- "Angry Birds" and Plants vs. Zombies mash-up:)
ReplyDeletetehehe, I googled 1:33's comment, 2102 bought it, baka pang 2101 na costumer si letter sender, napagod na yung gumagawa ng fondant figures kaya pati family driver nakikihulma na rin ng gumpaste.
joke time ang cake! nakakainis na nakakatawa. anyway a related topic, saw Puey being featured in a new show last night. obviously medyo late na yung issue na tinanong sa kanya (the Dansen hoopla) though I never realized may issue din pala siya sa Bergamo. Sana lang sinama sa feature yung sa "backer" niya. Funny how he rants na hindi siya nabigyan ng "2nd chance". C'mon!
ReplyDeleteMJ
I am a home-based baker and one of our frustrations and biggest headache is when other low-life bakers who lack experience copy, as in go to our website and literally download our work and pass it off as their own. Their albums are all made up of downloaded photos from other sites. They claim it as their work and clients who order gets the surprise of their life when they receive a poor imitation of what they originally chose.
ReplyDeleteThere is a site called "Stop the Cake Thief". You will be surprised at how a lot of bakers' work are copied by low-life people.
A shout-out to cake thieves out there: invest on experience. the only way to get better is to practice, practice and practice. unleash your own creativity. its okay to get inspiration from the works of others BUT always maintain your own identity and style in all of your creations. there is nothing more fulfilling than to create something that comes from your heart. and lastly, there is such a thing as karma. pwedeng makaloko ka ngayon, but your bad rep will soon catch up with you.
A shout-out to all home bakers: always water-mark your photos. let us all keep the integrity of what we do. let us do our share in protecting our creations. let us be always reminded of our worth as we charge our clients accordingly and let us always ensure that our clients get more than what they pay for.
If it's from the M site, I've been reading a lot of negative comments about their deals. Including the deals that involve traveling (esp the ones from E - a Cebu-based travel company). I'd rather purchase from other sites.
ReplyDeleteIf you would look closely may ibang cakes sa background .. one is from Red Ribbon pa nga.. to our dear readers huwag din tayo basta humusga.. pwede din kasing naninira lang itong nagpadala and sila sila din lang gumawa nito . I cant believe ganyan kababoy yung cake unless sinadya nang kung sino...
ReplyDeleteI emphasize with your brother
ReplyDeletegrabe parang madalian naman ginawa yung cake. Eh kung tutuusin di naman ganun kahirap maghulma niyan sa fondant kasi di naman ganun kacomplicated yung shapes nung mga angry birds. haay, kaya nakakadala bumili sa mga group buying sites. what you pay is what you get talaga!! wala naman good deal.
ReplyDeleteI emphasize....lol. Winner comment to!
ReplyDeletei can relate to this. i bought d coupon 1st wk of oct in preparation for my nephew's bday on 22nd, i had a hard time contacting them thru landline no one answered d phone, they replied from my texts the next day. reservation done no problem, pick up done no delay. we got d cake, its not perfect but fair enough from d pics posted my nephew liked when he saw it and was so excited to try it. but..... but here's d worst part.........when we started eating d cake YUCK!!! it tasted like not cake at all. we wer all disappointed and frustrated. the worst/tasteless cake i have ever eaten. i hope this really will serve a lesson to all of us. there's nothing wrong with buying coupons i hav bought a lot of times from different companies but didnt hav a problem at all. this is d first tym i was not satisfied at all!
ReplyDeleteparang pinagpraktisan lang yung cake >:/
ReplyDeleteso 592 na pala naloko ng pastry chef na yun, oh well :(
i don't think sinisiraan ng sender yung bakeshop since other readers seem to have similar experiences. sad lang kung totoo yung complaint, since my mom is in the homemade pastry business (having worked for her for years, i think i earned the right to say this) and the number one rule is never send out substandard products kasi food yan eh. dapat mukhang enticing talaga.
ReplyDeleteYIKES!! Thanks for posting this! I was really tempted to get this deal but medyo nag hesitate ako because never-heard yung bakeshop. Buti nalang I listened to my instincts. I'm sure this is not a sabotage or whatever since I've read similar complaints online, not just here in FP. If I were the buyer, I would NOT hesitate to name the groupon company and the bakeshop! They are a total disgrace! And this groupon company, if I'm not mistaken, was the same one in a previous BI here that offered a discount to this Chinese resto in Galleria, which didn't want to accept reservations -- remember that?? I am never purchasing vouchers from that site ever again!!
ReplyDeletenagbayad ako nung saturday, ngayon ko lang nakita mga post na to.. :/ ohdear, i hope they don't mess up my cake :(

I pity the kid. He was expecting an Angry Birds cake for his birthday and all he got were the Bird's distant relatives.
ReplyDeleteM-deal for m-sweet kiss in casa nuevo , new manila
ReplyDeleteOMG! Thank you for sharing this. I know where you got this because I've been so tempted to get this deal. I was thinking of one for Christmas for the kids. Madami pa silang advertised deals. I'll stay away from now on.
ReplyDeleteIt was actually a surprise for my brother pero kami ang na-surprise!
ReplyDelete2000+ people bought this deal. And M won't pay you unless all the coupons are used. I already asked this from my friend who tied up with M for a deal.
Yes, we had other cakes too. From Secret Recipe naman, and they were bought by my aunt as a gift rin.
And yes, if you search their Facebook page, puro complaints nga. We should've researched first, kaso naunahan ng excitement eh.
My mom and I actually emailed the site about this deal.
ReplyDeleteThey replied with "we were shocked" na ganito experience namin and that they will have a "strict word" with MSK.
Nge?
take note: from "k": "number one rule is never send out substandard products kasi food yan eh. dapat mukhang enticing talaga."
ReplyDeleteand i say, "never fool your customers as they can give you the worst publicity you could ever imagine"
MAGANDA NAMAN ANG SECOND CAKE AH...!!! Magandang gamitin sa habulan ng icing... itapon sa mukha ng mga bwiset!!!
ReplyDeleteHere's the original creator of the copied cake|: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.172666456107505.34372.132002163507268&type=1

ANONG EMPHASIZE?! ?!? !?!?!?? teka, tatawa lang ako ng marami!
I was also tempted with that cake. Saw it from an FB ad. Gosh!
ReplyDeleteI just feel bad for the sender cos I know how hard it is like to get a disaster cake on your kid's birthday. Yun tipong all set na tapos cake nalang ang kulang. You were expecting to receive what you exactly paid for as shown in their ad but in the end.. wahhh! Kaloka talaga!
for those who bought the deal, you can always return it. unlike E na sobrang higpit sa mga refunds, M gives refunds even if wala namang defeciency sa orders mo. kung ayaw mo,simply because ayaw mo lang, you can email their support and they would answer immediately and give back the refund of your choice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for serving as venue for disappointed consumers. This helps and forewarns the public. I almost bought this offer! More power!
ReplyDeletePano naman, more than 2k umorder nyang deal na yan, over sa kapaguran na sila gumawa kaya ganyan na itsura, lol.
ReplyDeleteparang yung mga clay models na gawa ng kinder!sumakit tyan ko sa kakatawa!
ReplyDeleteThis is a total rip off! I was thinking of buying the same deal. Thanks for the post. and I hope this will serve as a warning to voucher addicts out there (including myself). Shees!
ReplyDeleteGOSH! HNDI NMAN MUKHANG ANGRY BIRDS YUNG NSA CAKE. MUKHANG ANIMALS NA UNKNOWN... KALOKA!

SO true! bat pa ninyo tinaggap :(
gosh so pangit nung cake di lang ugly bird super ugly bird... my daughter laughed at it... why don't u try the bakeshop i knew... Mrs Baker superb gumawa ng cakes... tried and tested
ReplyDeleteparang HUNGRY BIRDS na tingnan. hehehe.. parang nakita ko na to ad sa fb. M nga. tsk! tsk!
ReplyDeletechecked their fb page..mukhang pag galing sa discount site yung order mo pangit yung gawa pero pag oorder ka talaga sa kanila ok yung gawa nila,nakita ko di piningot yung ears ng pig nung isang umorder dun hehehe
ReplyDeletekahit ako mababadtrip sa cake na yan! pweh!
ReplyDeleteay nakita ko to i was planning pa man din kasi instead of 1000 naging 500 at may sweet kiss ka pa :p ahhahaha...naku i was planning to buy deals pa man din from this site pero services xa :(
ReplyDeleteDapat sa ganito nirereveal na agad, pra di ma mangyari sa iba
ReplyDeleteNaku nakuthank god u posted this on ur site, sobrang badtrip to dhl my friend bought this, nagreklamo na ko!! Aba, nag 2nd batch pa cla ng benta!!!l ang pangit pangit!!!
ReplyDeletedami nang palpak na deals nung site mismo. even yung restaurants, may ino-offer silang voucher na pag pumunta ka sa resto, may in-house offer na exactly the same. labo diba.
ReplyDeleteu get what you paid for i guess...kaya nga 50% eh, baking and effort 50% haha
ReplyDeleterepost ko nga ito ... to make my friends aware... too much! nakakadismaya ang ganitong experiences. good you reported sa fashion Pulis!
ReplyDeletegood you posted! will repost this to warn my other friends regarding this stuff.... mas ok pa yung polvoron cupcakes nakita ko sa site nung friend ko, talagang grabe ang likeness sa angry birds!
ReplyDeleteKuhang kuha ah... Kuhang kuha ang kapangitan... Sobrang layo ah.. parang mga raisens lang yung nasa baba na cake.. Hindi mukang angry bird..
ReplyDeleteif this is the M online company, nadala na din ako sa kanla. i bought naman the cruise dinner buffet amounting to 250 na feeling ko na super lugi ako! 1st, mahirap ma contact, 2nd, buffet kuno, di ka na mga makakaulit at 2 viands, 1 veggies, rice, soup and salad. ang dessert, sinerve sa table, tig 1 brownies per person. so that is buffet!
ReplyDeletesobrang panget ng cake...sorry! just saying...
ReplyDeletebuti nalang I didn't bought the angry birds cake voucher. Planned to give this to my bf as a surprise.. thankfully di ako nag purchase. :) thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteano yan fp?hindi pleasing sa mata!mukhang binagyo ung cake hhaha
ReplyDeleteSana may comments or like/dislike system din mga voucher sites kasi minsan gusto ko bumili pero di ako sigurado kung ok yung place, whether service or products ang offer nila, lalo na pag unknown. Para makaiwas na rin sa panloloko pag may readers na nagbibigay ng feedback.
ReplyDeleteSuggestion lang.. Report it to the deal site (madalas wala silang alam dyan, for adverstising purposes lng ang mga dealsites). Sa company ko,sa ganitong situation na may reklamo ang customer sa nakuhang deal, pinapaalam namin sa merchant company at sinasabihan sila na ayusin ang service dahil kasama din name ng company namin ang masisira.
ReplyDeleteIn this case, you do get what you paid for!! This cake is GROSS!!!! *cringe* If you want a real, artistic, not to mention delish cake, try to order from BakeHappy (http://bakehappy.blogspot.com!! I swear, you'll never be disappointed.

WTF are you crying about? i couldn't tell the difference! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha I can't stop laughing!!! Well, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.
ReplyDeletehmm inulit na lang ba yung deal ulit? Kase redemption period palang nya is supposed tobe on Nov 20 pa. So kung naulit na itong deal na to, sana yung mga bumili ng vouchers wag na lang tanggapin yung cake kung ganyan ka sagwa yung itsura. DEMAND FOR A REFUND! Kase obviously pwede tong MISLEADING and DECEIVING ADVERTISEMENT! Ireport sa DTI ASAP!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Pig pala ung green "creature"! I thought it was Doding daga!
ReplyDeleteparang clay lang a! i will definitely order from this place for my personal entertainment. hahahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteParang si Mr. Bean lang ang gumawa. Hahaha. Natatawa ako.
ReplyDeletei saw the facebook page of that bakeshop, MSK. i was supposed to purchase coupons but i decided not to when i saw the photos. there was a harry potter cake na hindi mukhang owl yung nandun. it looked more like a stick figure. may baptismal cake na mukhang bat yung teddy bears and a timmy time cake na mukhang malnourished yung animals and not cute and cuddly. if it weren't for the deals, i don't think the customers would keep buying from them. for the other readers, google lang and then check facebook for the page.-pearl c.
ReplyDeletejust.wondering.... If u bought this cake for ur son, bakit may 2 unfinished cakes ka pa sa background?
ReplyDeleteThe cake is pretty much "OK" to me since it lives up to its billing - you'll get ANGRY once you received the Angry Bird Cake.
ReplyDeleteI also had the same experience with M's Angry Bird cake deal for my son. Unfortunately, the cake was far from the picture, it was not even fondant at all. I got it after work and didn't have any choice because the birthday is the next day and my son is expecting an angry bird cake. I commented on the fb page but other comments were deleted, by whom I do not know. I hope this serves as an eye opener to the other 2000 who got the deal.
ReplyDeleteThis is crazy. We ordered one too. Huhuhuhu. I'll tell my sis about this asap. Thank you for sharing this. xx Cheska
ReplyDeleteI got the same sentiments, I even made a complaint to M. And I even received the wrong order.
ReplyDeletea worst cake i've ever seen!i was also a home base fondant cakes baker, but i've never made that kind of cake, even as a beginner... i will not post pictures of cake which i did not bake.
ReplyDeletesince many of you guys complaining why dont you name the bakeshop??? that bakeshop must be avoid!
OMG. IS THIS BAKER SERIOUS? Grabe, nakakaiyak na nakakatawa yang cake na yan! I wouldn't pay for that for any amount, let alone Php500! And to think they originally valued it at Php1000? WHO THE HELL ARE THEY KIDDING? Anyway, advice lang to all buyers sa group deal sites, ALWAYS ALWAYS check the establishment first before you avail of the deal. And yes, sadly though, the PHOTOS that some of these group buying sites use are STOCK PHOTOS/recycled (and probably stolen from other sites). Pansinin nyo, this 'M' site keeps using the same image of a girl getting a massage for their spa deals. They use STOCK PHOTOS. Only get from sites that use the ACTUAL PHOTOS of the service/product offered. JUSKO, ang icing lampas lampas sa gilid! HOW AMATEURISH. Bottom line: BUYERS BE CAREFUL. ALWAYS DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU CLICK AND BUY.
ReplyDeleteThe deal was made by E.
ReplyDeleteThe bakery is M.
And so, go ...and google it ;-)
Be super wary of buying online deals! Most dont screen the conpanies they tie up with, and bec they dont have a comments page you cant get accurate feedback.
ReplyDeleteAlso, when we have complaints, lets not leave out the data of whoever we are complaining against, palaging secret or research pa tayo. Lets be upfront para malinaw kung sino yun. Sa Pilipinas lang nahihiya mag name names, sa ibang bansa yan. We have a right to complain, wag na kayo mahiya mag name drop kung may proof naman.
Why not name this cake business? Useless to be commenting with obvious remarks. Give the name of this company so others will be forewarned.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for your cake order, I just have a question, I am not sure if someone already asked; Did you know if the cake pops made from scratch or from one of those molds, because the cake pops I make are by hand and some people think that they are not cooked all the way but it is the way they are made that make them have the texture. There are two way of making cake pops that I know of. One is by adding buttercream to pre-backed cake and the easy way by using a cake pop maker or mold, the fist option results on very moist cake and the second results on regular cake texture.
ReplyDeleteomg.. i was planning to buy this p nmn. buti n lng i'm an avid reader of fp!
ReplyDeleteHi. I am Nikka Alejar of Veronica's Kitchen and president of Filipina Homebakers Online/FHO. An FHO sister reported this site to me. I suggest before you order from bakers online that you do a bit of research first on the baker and her products. Ask other clients who've ordered too or meet with the baker herself if need be.
ReplyDeleteSome are sadly, bogus bakers who claim other bakers' works but can't even bake nor mold/decorate to save their lives.
Baking is a craft. Decorating is an art. If it involves your stomachs, make sure you order from a reliable source. Food poisoning is no joke. This was not the first time the "baker" in question has done this to a very, very irate and saddened client. She is not a member of FHO by the way. Our group abhors posers and scammers.
At least now, we all know what Angry Birds DO NOT look like. :D

ReplyDeletejust.wondering.... If u bought this cake for ur son, bakit may 2 unfinished cakes ka pa sa background?
November 8, 2011 12:45 AM
--------------
My Tita bought those 2 other cakes, we didn't know she'll be bringing cakes naman.
Also, kinuha nalang namin yung cake para wala nalang gulo on my brother's birthday.
We emailed M about it, walang kwenta ang sagot sa amin kaya nag FP nalang ako.

YUP. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE 2 CAKES SA BACKGROUND?
Pusa! ishe-share ko nga ito sa mga ka-e-group ko, nakakaloka lang talaga. Siguro isinampal ko itong cake na to sa gumawa kung ako yung customer. Buset!!! I know there is a group of online bakers sa multiply. Sila yung mga credible bakers talaga. They're making efforts to stop these kinds of practices from disreputable bakers (using other bakers' photos and passing them off as their own work). Pansin ko lang, walang masyadong nega comments sa FB page ng baker na 'to. Siguro dinelete. Btw, Anon 1:50AM The deal was from M, not E The bakery is M. --mall rat
ReplyDeleteThis is really disappointing. It maybe less from their original price. But it should NEVER be less in quality. Too bad, this supplier's deal is still on going and 634 already bought the deal. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteHope future customers would would buy the deal from them would be able to read your story to save themselves from big disappointment. I was one of the those who got disappointed too.

very disappointing to see something like this. I myself is working at a bakeshop where we sell customized cakes. News like this ruins each and every reputation of good bakeshops. Sana, naman yung mga hindi serious sa ganitong business ay tumigil na,kasi madaming apektado.
ReplyDeletewhy are some commenters making a deal of the 2 cakes in the background?? i don't understand the importance of why must this be explained?? Jenn said that her tita gave them as gifts. true, my daughter has had birthday parties when she was younger wherein people gave cakes as gifts too so we diplayed them with the themed birthday cake. the 2 cakes in the background weren't the problem, it's the cake in the foregound that was the problem and that needed the explaining.
ReplyDeletei was about to order this deal too. buti na lang hinde ako kumuha or else chaka to the max ang cake ko. waaahhhh
ReplyDeletepublicize the store na lang. really bad cake
ReplyDeletei read from their FB site before that these angry birds in their photo are actually toys. Buyers have the option to choose gumpaste cake toppers. I suggest if you have vouchers for this cake with you, just order the toy cake toppers instead. Walang disappointment coz the toys will always look the same... hindi sila ang gumawa.
ReplyDeleteAlso, yung handwriting na yan, ganyan talaga sya. I ordered a cake from them before. Classic design lang sya so wala akong problema sa itsura. Siguro sanay na sila gumawa ng flower toppers. Pero yung handwriting, ganyan pa den. parang sulat ng grade one.
If i remember it right, when I talked to their admin assistant when i was placing my order, ang sabi nya ay may decorator sila, pero yung mga actually gumagawa ng cakes nila ay mga unemployed (?) women that they help out. That explains the amateurish outcome of the cake. Pero dapat pa rin naman, they guarantee good quality kase name and reputation rin nila ang nasisira. Me cafe sila sa Makati.

search nyo lng sa google makukuha nyo na ung namen ng site at ung bakeshop....naku 638 bought this coupon pa nmn...ibg sabihin gnun din kadami nabiktima/mabibiktima nila.......tsk tsk
As of this moment, nagbebenta pa dn ang K ng mga coupons. At 644 bought na, kawawa naman sila!
ReplyDeleteI saw this baker's FB page, as well a thread dedicated to the baking business on Smart Parenting, and noticed that their finished work isn't really nice. In fact, pangit talaga the handwriting. Sana good yung cake, but if you're a parent like me, I want the best for my kids. Something like this just doesn't cut it for me.
ReplyDeleteEven the decor on cupcakes are ugly (sorry ha). Sana she sticks to plain and generic. Wag nalang mag character kung di naman kaya.
This serves as a warning for DEAL ADDICTS like me. We must do our research to avoid being fooled. Kaya lang, alam ko very rare ang nagbblog kapag maliliit na company ang involved, unlike yung M-buffet deal ng deal site na E. Yun sobrang daming nagalit. Very established pa naman ang reputation ng restaurant na yon. Yang bakeshop na M kasi as far as I know is just a residential house. So no one bothers to blog about them, but sadly SOLD OUT ang cakes nila sa M-deal na yan. Daming naloko. :(
ReplyDeletePlease note that the online baking company has no authorization to use the image of the Angry Birds cake, as it is copyrighted and the intellectual property to the image is owned by yours truly the photographer.
ReplyDeleteThe original image used can be found at - http://blog.dazza.sg/a-merry-birds-christmas

same with the online shopping sound like ng isang motel na kulay red and yellow tsk tsk tsk, false information biruin niyo nakalagay sa current deal nila Php1000 tapos nung pumunta ung mga friend ko para kunin yung bag e nagkakahalaga pala ng Php 4500 simula nun nadala na ko tumingin sa online shop nila

ReplyDelete"parang clay lang a! i will definitely order from this place for my personal entertainment. hahahahahaha!
November 8, 2011 12:10 AM
What the?.... EveryTime You Buy Cakes Make Sure to Open the box before leaving the store....
ReplyDeleteIts the most safest thing to do....
My mom and I actually emailed the site about this deal. They replied with "we were shocked" na ganito experience namin and that they will have a "strict word" with M. Nge? ----- LOL. Same thing ata yung nireply din sa akin when I reported it to the site also. Baka me template na sila para diyan pero kitang kita pa rin yung ads nila sa site. So much for sincerity.
ReplyDeleteang lakas ng loob nila magbenta ng ganyan nakakahiya sila. that cake deserves to be posted in cakewrecks.com
ReplyDeleteit's not just the cake that is disappointing from this deal site... as well as the travel deals... they seem enticing but the travel company DOES NOT ANSWER any phone or emails after you buy their travel deal... I am having a hard time refunding my payment but I'm calling this DEAL site everyday!
ReplyDeletesaw this from groupon too, and was surprised how cheap were the cakes, no wonder it was such a DISAPPOINTMENT, pls see and check in facebook the cake story, they have good angry bird cupcakes ( since i made them myself )......thank you
ReplyDeleteso true...I bought one for my son's birthday. I'm not happy nung nakita ko yung cake yesterday. Actually mas okay pa nga yung itchura ng cake ko compare dito... kaso when we tasted it grabe lasang flour! hindi talaga masarap. super sayang yung 500 pesos and yung gas namin para lang puntahan yung place.. =(
ReplyDeletelol it's the horror version of angry birds pang halloween talaga.. iv'e only one word to describe it, HORRIFIC! their faces kinda look sad pa, mga Lonely Birds naman yan eh..
ReplyDeleteKapal ng mukha, they have another deal. This time cupcakes naman!
ReplyDeletei bought one from that website and when i saw this, i immediately decided to return the deal. aba! ayoko pasakitin ulo ko sa huli no!! binalik naman nila kagad ang pera ko thru credits and in fairness naman sa kanila,di naman lahat is basurang deal. meron lang talagang ibang merchant na sinasamantala porket alam nila na voucher lang ang binili,they give crappy services and awful outputs.
ReplyDeleteThis is sad. I'm a homebaker too. Nakakasira sila sa homebakers.
ReplyDeleteSana lang kasi they should have advertised their own cake instead of using other person's hard work to sell their merchandise. That's where they lost their credibility. It doesn't mean that if they have a team of 'hard working single moms' they are excused of this liability. Like I said before just be truthful in your advertising.
ReplyDeleteLol. They deleted a certain comment on FB when someone pointed out on their false advertising. M is a shameless, hypocritical cake thief!!
ReplyDeleteplease check out sa facebook nandun yung official statement nila nakakaasar....walang apology kasalan ng customer. iba talaga sana nagsorry nlng sila sana sabihin nila give them a chance dba or just refund the cuopons hindi eh nagmagaling pa please read there post comment na din kayo kasi lahat nag comment ng d ok ni block nila.
ReplyDeleteim not directly connected with this bakeshop but i used to do group deals as well. not everything is the merchant's fault. this group buying site you are referring to publishes pictures of products WITHOUT the merchant's permission. If tell them to make modifications, they will tell you they cant. I had that experience with them. In the end, even if you gave tne actual pictures of your product, they will still not use it for the sake of marketing. You can probably ask for a copy of their signed contract to check what exactly is their deal with this site
ReplyDeleteThat's a possible point but keep in mind that this ad by M is not the first time that she grabbed a picture of some other baker and claimed it. She had grabbed the picture of the Angry Bird cake pops by some other blog in US and I bet that she did the same for the cupcakes. If that what you have said did happen, she would have initially explained it on her webpage but NO...she went on claiming it , she did not put credit to the original baker and whitewashing comments that did not jive with her.
ReplyDeletekaya nga nakakaasar yung original baker is filing a complaint i hope she win the original baker pala is serendipity cakes by yvones
ReplyDeleteShe grabbed the photos from Baker Yvonne
ReplyDeleteI agree with anon November 7, 2011 8:35 AM muntik na rin ako mag buy ng travel coupon.. Buti nag email, text muna ako sincen cebu base sya. Eh ang tagal sumagot.. So i decided na d na lang bumili..
ReplyDeleteNag comment kami ng friend ko... Hindi naman masama yung tumulong Siya sa mga single-moms diba! Pero sana Hindi napektuhan yung quality ng cake. Ang issue kasi sakin yung taste Hindi yung itchura ng cake! Tapos she deleted pa my comment nakakabastos Lang kasi maayos akong nag message sa baker! Tapos ngayon yun yung explanation Niya! Super labo namang kausap diba!

ReplyDeleteSana may comments or like/dislike system din mga voucher sites...
At least E has a discussion page, M doesn't have one. Haynaku. Meron din akong gustong deal sa E ngayon, chocolate truffles naman. Pero because of this, I checked the pictures on the FB page, ayayay, from the internet din lang. Wag na lang, better to get from a reputable shop na lang. Sana naman pag may mag-advertise eh, yung totoong product naman nila yung picture. Tsk tsk tsk.

ReplyDeleteFACEBOOK of Serendipity Cakes by Yvonne I've just had my very first cake thievery experience. I woke up yesterday to a slew of msgs informing me that someone was using an image of my Angry Birds cake , not only was she passing it off as her work but she was also duping customers into believing that the cake they ordered(through group coupon sites) would be of the same standard. My representatives and I have since contacted these coupon sites to inform them of her on-going scam. We are also in the process of contacting the offending party, M Cakes. A big thank you to all the vigilant netizens who managed to track me down and came forward to notify me of her thievery!
ReplyDeleteNapagkamalan yatang lechong baboy yung green pig. Pinisil-pisil to check kung crispy. Hindi pala. Ayan tuloy, pisat ang kinalabasan. LOL!
ReplyDeletebakit hindi ko makita yung facebook page ng M K na yan? gusto kong magreklamo sa kanila dahil natapos nat lahat ang bday ng kapatid ko, hindi ko nagamit ang voucher dahil ang hirap magpareserve sa kanila! walang kuwenta, naglagay pa sila ng phone at email wala namang nagrereply!
ReplyDeleteI'm a baker as well and owns a home-baking business. I also experienced the same kind of experience but from a different baker, she stole my photos - take note with watermark and all ha, then used it on her accounts.
ReplyDeleteHow did I find out? We were friends in fb - I saw her wall post that she's baking whatnot and then I decided to check her account and photos. I was shocked that she had my pictures- 3-4 of them. With watermark and my URL. I was irked by this and contacted her.
I remember correctly too that she also messaged me inquiring the price of my Cream Puffs and voila! She's also selling them as well.
I messaged her in FB. Then she told me she's gonna remove my photos and she only saw it on Google. Oh yeah, blame it on the search engine when coincidentally she added me on FB. LOL. Then another fb friend gave me her another FB account and I saw my photos there as well.
Everything in her photo albums are stolen photos from different Pastry Makers around the world. It's funny that her end product didn't make it up to par to those pictures she'd stolen.
I have 2 blogs and I posted my rant there. Lol. I reported her too to Facebook and as of now I can't see her profiles - maybe FB blocked my IP address on seeing her. But anyway FB responded and told me they'd take action.

Hey M, Why don't you apologize to the bakers you have claimed the pictures from to advertise your wares? The very wrong thing that you did is to falsely advertise and claim a product that is yours thus misleading the customers. Don't put excuses or whitewashing comments on FB for people who know what's truly going on or just pointing out to you that the picture is not yours. The Angry Birds cake pictured there is from Yvonne and the AB Cake Pops is from Christy. You have done a disservice to the people who worked for you and for the customers who trusted you that you would be able to deliver the same quality product. Your brand would be synonymous to cake theft not just locally but within online boards.
ReplyDeleteE Kung nagmamadali ka syempre tiwala ka na sa gumawa ng cake. D mo na macheck un bago ka umalis.. Lalo pat Naka box na.
ReplyDeleteKaya ang lesson, sa kilala Lang talaga mag order! Ako pa naman minsan pnapakuha ko nalang sa maid o driver Kung Asa office pako.
Di ako makaget over sa ears ng green pig!!!! Winner sa kachakahan!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat's irritating, M doesn't apologize !
ReplyDeleteIts so wrong to get someone else's work and claim it.
If I were M, even if I copied the picture, at least I can create it. The problem with M, the baker is just a wannabe. She cant create the exact product. Of course, customers will get mad not only the baker she stole the picture from.

U knw wer 2 get ur cakes sa Halloween hahahahahhaha
ReplyDeleteMas sumikat pa nyan si miss Yvonne, ang original cake maker. :))
ReplyDeleteGusto ko tuloy bumili hehehe
Funny!!!!
ReplyDeletedapat ipahuli sa PDEA ang gumawa ng cake na yan...hahaha #AdikadikanAngPeg
ReplyDeleteInfairness winner ang cake halatang pinagpaguran, pwedeng pang gift sa kagalit...hahaha #bwiset
kalurkey talaga yan.. nung bumili kami para sa bday ng pamangkin ng bf ko. ang liit niya saka ibang iba talga, parang sasabihin mo nalng sa sarili mo ok eto ba yun 500? buti nalang may isang cake dun sa party.
ReplyDeleteAno va naman yennn! Kaloka ha! Playdoh ba ng bata yung second pic???
ReplyDeleteNako sa M-cakes, magsara napo kayo hahaha
sa mga nagtatanong kung bakit nagtatanong kami about the cakes sa background, we're just giving a fair speculation about the problem. i have questioned it also. and i have read an explanation. so kung na-explain na, at medyo believable naman, edi period. wag na maging defensive. peace!
ReplyDeleteWe checked the product when we got it. We were like, "#$&!*@!!!" pero we let it pass nalang since my brother was expecting the cake na rin.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter if single moms ang gumawa niya or kung may disabilities.
Ang issue dito is FALSE ADVERTISEMENT.
Kung sinong may mali, siya pang matapang. Grabe lang.
guys found out the original owner ng angry cake pops the girl who ate everything i already inform her about the cake pop
ReplyDeleteI agree false advertising yan. Wag na Idahilan na keso single moms at tumutulong sila. Wag na kayo mag drama. Umamin nalang kaseng bogus kayo at magnanakaw ng pics. Walang malasakit sa customers. Mahiya naman kayo M-cakes... Booooooo!
