Celso's Cakes Sued Over Failure to Deliver Cakes
Celso's Cakes in Norcross apparently went out of business in August, and unhappy customers are saying they paid for cakes they never received.
Celso's Cakes has apparently closed, and several people have come forward, saying they paid for cakes they never received, the AJC reported.
The bakery, which was located on Dawson Boulevard, allegedly took orders and money for wedding cakes but went out of business before delivering them, according to the AJC.
One man, Toye Akinsanya, told Channel 2 Action News that he and his wife Bridget ordered two cakes from Celso’s Cakes for their niece’s wedding. They paid $2,000 just 10 days before the event. But when they showed up to the wedding reception on Aug. 25, one day after the bakery closed, the cake wasn’t there, the AJC reported.
The Akinsanyas have filed a lawsuit in Gwinnett County Court to get their money back, the AJC reported.
And at least two more people have told Channel 2 they paid for cakes they never received.
Jana Sutherland told Channel 2, “I am out $483 … I found out 10 days before my wedding that I was not going to have a cake. I managed to find another bakery that took my order, so I was OK. But I want my money back from Celso’s.”
And Michelly Gonzales had previously told Channel 2 she was concerned that she lost $450 she paid the bakery for a cake for her wedding in February. “We’re on a budget. We exceeded our budget as it is. It’s going to be tough,” she said, according to the AJC.
According to reviews on Yelp.com, the bakery was known for its wedding cakes. One bride posted in August that after the bakery closed on Aug. 24, she had 11 days to come up with a plan B.

Celso has been making cakes for my children for 2 yrs now and he has actually attended a couple of my parties. Celso is an amazing baker and he a super great guy!!! I know exactly whats going on and its not his fault at all...he doesnt even own the company! The only reason he is trying to get all the cake orders done is because he does not want to hurt his name or make anyone upset or mad. But technically this company belongs to his ex wife Paula. She shut everything down and she is the one who called GCCE on him when he was trying to finish up the cakes out of his home. This is an unfortunate event and he is stuck in the middle of it. I have all faith that he will try his hardest to get everyone their cakes but please keep in mind that he is not the owner of the company!
