This review is long over due but I wanted to make sure I write it because it is well deserved…read more One of my close friends recommended Anya's Cakes to me and I'm so glad she did. I mainly communicated with Anya on Instagram and from the beginning to the end (and after) Anya so wonderful to work with. My son's 1st birthday was extra special thanks to Anya's beautiful dessert table and cake. Even on the day of the event, Anya brought her wooden set up, set up all the dessert (worked well with other vendors too) without any issues. She had no questions for me, instead I went with all her recommendations. I was so stress free because I could see she knew what she was doing - Everything was perfect! All the desserts tasted so good that our guests asked to take the left overs home! I highly recommend Anya. She will definitely be my go-to vendor for future events. Thank you for everything Anya!

She recently made my daughter's sweet sixteen cake which was gorgeous. In the past I've gotten other cakes from her including an Eid cake with mango filling.

As well as being tasty and beautiful, Beth Ann listens to what you are looking for and delivers an incredible product.

We found Maggie by a recommendation from our wedding photographer…read more We were so impressed with the flavors she offered during our tasting that we decided to choose her for our wedding cake the moment we left the tasting. Her cakes are so fresh, light, and flavorful. She only uses fresh ingredients. She uses Real butter in her buttercream frosting, not shortening. Once you have real buttercream you can't have the 'other' stuff. Maggie's buttercream is sooo smooth and creamy and just simply melts in your mouth. We chose the coconut cake with passion fruit buttercream filling and lemon cake with raspberry filling. She only charges an extra $50 for two flavors, awesome. The lightness and light sweetness of her cakes was the perfect match to our Chinese banquet. Her pricing is also very very affordable. She tells you exactly what you need based on your guest count and what cake design you were thinking of using. She is not opposed to using sheet cakes to cut the cost down also. When our wedding day came, our cake looked perfect. I only gave her a picture to follow and the cake looked just like the pictures with a little bit of changes because we wanted to use real flowers. (I've included a picture of the cake.) Maggie was the best and we have received multiple multiple compliments on our wedding cake. Her cake is so fresh that it's been 15 days since our wedding and we are still nibbling on the top cake tier; tastes just like it did on our wedding day.

Cakes by Maggie provided our wedding cake for our April 2011 wedding. We decided to go with Maggie…read morebecause of her excellent reviews on-line, her price, and the taste of her samples. We were satisfied with cake we got. At her recommendation, we ordered up and purchased 100 slices for our 85-person wedding. We only had 2 slices left-over. Pros: + Our lemon-cake with raspberry-filling tasted good. + She makes her own fondant, so it actually tastes decent. + She set-up and decorated the cake on time. + Maggie is very sweet. + She worked within our limited budget ($455 for our cake and delivery). Cons: -Maggie works another job, and this is her side-business. She was often slow at answering e-mails (3-4 day turn around), which can be frustrating during the wedding-planning process. - We went down an unconventional route and did not hire a florist for our wedding. I think Maggie is used to working directly with florists when decorating a cake, so it was a bit challenging to communicate about what would be appropriate flowers for us to buy. If you're interested, I'd set up an appointment with Maggie to meet her and try her samples.

I'm not one to believe in fairtytales, but as the story goes, Cindarella's fairy godmother (don't…read morebelieve in those either) turned a pumpkin into a beautiful glittery stage coach. Now, and you'll have to stay with me here, if I were to make claymation video of the transformation, I would definitely ask Sarah Lindsay to play the fairy godmother. Not only because I've always wanted to make a claymation video, but also because the pumpkin cake she made for us, really a chocolate cake shaped like a pumpkin, was the most artfully decorated pumpkin-shaped cake I'd ever laid my eyes on. Yeah, imagine it, a cake, shaped like, a pumpkin. Hand-carved out of sugar paste (kinda like marzipan), dyed a bright Halloween orange, and dusted with shimmery edible glitter, the cake could have totally been frame 27 of the Cinderella pumkin-stagecoach transformation. And the chocolate cake inside was moist, rich, and dense - just the indulgent way chocolate cake should be.

My review is a little late but Sarah did cupcakes for my wedding back in September. A couple of…read morethings about my wedding made it a logistical nightmare for vendors: it was in the Berkeley hills where there is no cell reception and we had a brunch wedding so vendors had to be there early to drop everything off. Sarah was incredible about working with all of these issues and didn't complain once. From the first cake tasting, she really wanted to make sure we enjoyed ourselves and enjoyed the experience. We tasted with her in July and there were a dozen cupcakes for my (now) husband and I to try. She made all custom flavors for us. He's a peanut butter and chocolate freak so she made about 3 different options of this combo. So thoughtful. My favorite were the ones with the raspberry filling-I still have dreams about these at night. We chose 3 different flavors for the wedding day. Our colors for the wedding were navy and orange and Sarah had such amazing attention to detail, she made sure everything matched. She ordered navy cupcake papers and edible orange pearls for the top of the cupcakes. She sought my approval and feedback with every detail. I reiterate, her attention to detail is unmatched. On the day of, I snuck out of hiding to specifically give Sarah a big hug before she had to leave. She was genuinely happy to see me-not just the obligatory "you look pretty" some of the other vendors gave. She was so prepared, she even came with signs for each flavor of cupcake so guests knew what flavor they were eating. And because we ordered an odd number there were some leftover she gave us FREE. So generous!! Post wedding, all my drunk friends and family loved the leftover cupcakes and even weeks after people were still talking about these. I absolutely loved working with Sarah and look forward to continuing to order cakes through her!

We were able to pick it up the day before the wedding which really helped with logistics. When we cut into it and tasted it we were blown away by the flavor (Earl Grey Passion Fruit). Our guests raved about the cake! Highly recommend getting a cake made by Mitzi and From Flour.
