Tom Sandoval responds to close-up of LA's Sweet Lady Jane Bakery, creator of 'Sandoval's Liar' cake
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tom Sandoval is enjoying the taste of Sweet Lady Jane bakery’s latest announcement!
The ‘Vanderpump Rules’ star took a dig at the LA-based outlet after sharing that it was instantly closing its doors after sales were "not enough to continue doing business in the state of California."
Sweet Lady Jane baked the special cake ‘Sandoval’s Liar’ during the controversy of his cheating long-time partner and now ex-Ariana Madix.

Was it 'karma?'
In May, the company posted it on social media, and now show’s alum Billie Lee tagged Sandoval and questioned whether it was “karma.”
"I never had a cake by @sweetladyjanecakeshop that wasn’t super dried out," Sandoval responded. "Maybe people started to catch on?"
Expressing his discontent, Sandoval conveyed his disappointment to the creators for associating his name with their widely known triple-berry cake.
He further revealed that the act of selling cakes featuring his name with negative phrases at a high price deeply hurt his feelings, almost pushing him to the brink. He concluded with a farewell gesture, saying, "Good riddance ✌🏼."
Sweet Lady Jane announced that it would be closing its store in an Instagram post earlier.
"After 35 years we are closing our doors. Our last day of business was December 31, 2023," it began.
"We did not come to this decision lightly nor quickly. While the support and loyalty of our customers has been strong, sales are not enough to continue doing business in the state of California, allowing us to service our lease obligations and pay our treasured employees a living wage without passing those costs directly on to you."
In the midst of the controversy storm, the establishment also offered limited-edition cakes featuring the phrase "Team Ariana" for sale.
