What's astonishing is that you think a small bakery, that offers 22 cakes on it's menu, should have some sitting premade ready to go. I'm betting their turnover isn't that high and cakes sitting for a day are not the way to go when you pride yourself over fresh baked tasty goods.
Even more astonishing is you back up your claim that they have some sitting there with a photo showing ONE cake out of 22. LOL... amazing.
Frankly, I don't believe that the OP is used to getting custom cakes in 30 minutes. If he is, they probably had one sitting there ready to be customized or perhaps he didn't get them customized before. In this case, perhaps they were sold out and because of that, a 2 hour window to prep, bake, cool, and decorate is awfully short.
Other bakeries, such as Edelweiss (
