For more than six generations, the Longordo family has been baking everything from pasta to breads, cakes, and cookies. It all began during the 1800s in a small town in Italy where Gary Longordo's great, great grandfather began making pasta for the locals. The business continued until the early 1900s when Gary's grandparents, Nunzio and Annie Longordo, moved the family business to New Jersey. They changed the product from pasta to bread. The business flourished and their son Frank took over. Frank Longordo, Gary's father, took the business to a higher level. He hired bakers, sales clerks and assistants and created a full scale bake shop. During this time Gary, his wife Christine, and her younger brother, James got involved in the family business. Along with twenty employees, Frank baked, Aris, Frank's wife supervised, Gary decorated and Christine managed the finances. However things didn't end there. Having ties to the South, the family decided to move the business to Wilmington, NC, in 1984. Frank served in the Marine Corps at Camp LeJeune and Aris grew up in Swansboro, NC. The Longordo's opened Apple Annie's Bake Shop in Wilmington, NC. Since then the bakery has been known as one of the finest in the country and has been named the National Retail Bakery of the Year.

Went in to order a graduation cake for my son. They had a special (1/4 sheet cake on sale for $35 - which is pretty expensive), but I was willing to pay the price. I looked through a book of schools, they did not have my son's school available even though it is located in walking distance from the bakery. They had other high schools and colleges up to 2 hours away, but not the local high school.
They informed me that this special would not apply to my order and they couldn't even make a graduation cake for him.
I went to plan B and asked for a round cake which costs $27, but they couldn't do anything with his school. They said for an extra $20 they could do a diploma and cap made out of icing. Yes, $47 for a 10 inch round cake.
They didn't apologize in any way and did nothing to provide good customer service. The cakes may taste delicious, but the customer service is non-existent.

i was very disappointed in the cake i ordered for our daughter's graduation on 12/15. this was a very special occasion - she received her doctorate from uncw.
i went to the store to place the order. when i picked it up i voiced my disappointment in the message writing on the cake to the employee at the counter. i called after getting home and asked that the owner please call me about it. to add to this when we cut the cake the layers were very dry. not acceptable.
it is monday morning 12/17 at 11:30 am to i have not heard from anyone. i called and the lady that answered responded when i asked if she knew if the lady had gotten message and she said it was not there so she "assumed" she had. definitely had an attitude.
this was not a huge cake - 1/4 sheet cake - however it will certainly be the last i order from them.
