We just got back and i ordered a zebra dome cake as a surprise for my husband on our anniversary trip. To be honest, I ordered it because it was easy, simple, and cheaper than a custom. I have done customs in the past and just wanted a little something special but smaller.
Ordering went great, easy peasy, but they did tell me we had to be in the room for it to be delivered, which I didnt realize. I also didnt ask the price since it was listed here as $45.
Delivering was speedy, I called the number and told them we were in the room and they cane pretty fast. I was a little shocked at the price when she handed me the bill and it said 68$ and then I had to tip as well, so the grand total was 73$. I didnt spend much time looking at the bill because I didnt want to make a big deal but I did see "customization" charge of 20$ so I'm assuming that is what bumped the price up. I wasnt told I would be charged extra when I asked for them to write Happy 28th Anniversary and she told me they could put it on the board, but that's the only thing that could be considered customizing.
It was the gesture, so honestly I didnt care, but wanted other people to be aware when making their cake choices!
Also, I didnt realize this is almost completely mousse, and there is not much cake, I will add a pic so you can see the thin layer of cake at the bottom. It tasted ok and like I said, it was the gesture, so we enjoyed it. (I will have to add the inside pic later, it's on my camera and not my phone)
