Wedding Cake: Bakery Question Solved

I had my mom call the wedding planner this past weekend. I'm working on so many things these days that I really don't have time for beating around the bush. My mom is just a lot better with that, while I'm more blunt. I sat next to her working on some payroll logistics that she was having problems with, while she made the phone call.

So, she calls, and explains that she's calling on my behalf, and that we were wondering what plans had been made since our original bakery had gone out of business, and we'd never been told about this. Immediately, the planner gets defensive and quite a bit of a 'tude with my mom, and says "usually, cakes are not chosen until a month before the wedding." I hear this, and tell my mom to let her know that I am busy and need to get things straightened out at once.

Mom, being more diplomatic, explains that since I am working full time and going to school full time, I have limited time to make decisions, so once an opportunity to do so arises, I like to take advantage of that.

Planner lady says, "oh, she must be really on top of things then."

Yes. Yes, I am. Wedding planning is a business, and when I am working with a business, and am paying them money, I'd like to make sure everything is planned out. BESIDES! It's not like I've been stalking her, making phone calls weekly. This is the first time I've contacted her.
Anywho, here's the new bakery:
Here's the menu for the sweet table:
