I would have disliked it more if it was the original owners, once Ms. Chan bought it the quality of the cakes suffered, especially in the Saratoga store. It went from being my 'go to' place for a delicious chocolate on chocolate cake to 'I've not been there for like 3 years now.'

Come on - your local bakery (even if it's a chain, even if you don't like it as much as you used to) is a low-margin enterprise. Getting screwed out of thousands of dollars is tough on places like that.

Plus that was just the example. If they were net-30 on the break room food, it's a safe bet a bunch of freelancers and other local businesses also had losses.

This particular bakery was pretty legendary for a long time in the bay area.

Translation: they don't deserve as much empathy from me because they make crappy cakes.

Which is a corollary of people making awesome things deserving more empathy than usual.

We got our wedding cake from the Prolific Oven ten years ago. It was /amazing/. Sad to hear they've taken a dive.
