This was falsely advertised. We arrived shortly after 2pm and found endless lines for 2oz "cocktails" (two choices, although both were yummy) and a "spread" of 2-3 types of sweets, nary a crumb of cake in site. The swag bags were all swagged out before we got them. It seemed like I paid for the opportunity to look at ads for bakeries.
Agreed! We were there at 1:30 because we paid the extra 10 bucks (total of 35) and even the FIRST trays of dessert looked less than stellar. There were literally only two (maybe three) homemade things and some Jello shots (college party?) ... the majority was purchased candy that I could have gotten from Publix. The facility was overrun with people and there were maybe 10 chairs in the whole place and ONE hightop table to place your plate and eat. Lots of people left without getting their "swag bag" because the line was so long and the rooms were SO dang hot. Very disappointing. The event I attended was worth about 10 bucks, not 35. Even with the livingsocial deal (2 for 35 bucks) I felt it was overpriced.
