Bakery hailed for 'genius' response to negative one-star review about pies

It’s not often that someone is served their just desserts, but a local bakery has had the last sweet word after a customer slated it for not serving pies. After receiving the one-star review on a public review platform, Cherry Blossom Bakery on Church Street in Macclesfield, which specialises in cakes and afternoon tea, directly responded to the criticism by creating a series of pie-themed cakes.

Detailing the saga on their Facebook and Instagram pages, the team behind the bakery told its followers to “settle in” as it regaled them with “the story of a man who was very mad that we didn’t sell pies”. The one-star review in question, which was shared on Google simply read: “Says it's a bakery but no pies, try cake shop instead”.

In response to this, the team at the bakery wrote back: “Hi, this seems a bit mean of a review, however there is a pie shop just next door so hopefully you managed to get sorted. Best wishes. Note just read your review of the amazing pies from the next food so looks like it all worked out well for you in the end!!”
