We found Maggie by a recommendation from our wedding photographer. 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. read more

Cakes by Maggie provided our wedding cake for our April 2011 wedding. We decided to go with Maggie because 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. read more

Like the other Yelper, I too called Maggie several times without any success. Between my husband and I, we called a total of five times, left five different messages and had zero of those calls were ever returned. Maybe Maggie's business is doing so well she can't find two minutes in her busy schedule to check messages? OR maybe it's that she lacks proper customer service skills? Dunno. We ended up going to Sibbys Cupcakes instead and our guests all raved. Hooray for Sibby's!!! read more

My wife and I met at our friends' wedding, where they had Cakes by Maggie cupcakes. We liked the cupcakes, so when it was our turn to find our wedding cake, she definitely made our list. We contacted her, and in a single conversation asked us the flavors we liked. From that, she made lots of samples that used our favorite flavors in different combinations. She met us at a local Starbucks, we got to taste (and I re-tasted several times) the combinations and got to choose our two: chocolate cake with peanut butter filling and lemon cake with raspberry filling. Before tasting Maggie's, we did another tasting, but it tasted like any ol' regular cake. Once we tried Maggie's, we were sold. She made a beautiful 3-layer cake on an ornate plateau. Maggie worked directly with our florist to make sure the flowers were prepared properly to be used on a cake, and Maggie decorated the cake on-site. It was exactly as we had envisioned it to be and discussed months prior. The cakes were extremely moist and all guests raved about the cake, days (and now months!) afterwards. She also made a separate post-wedding couples' cake (similar to the top tier) and had it waiting for us in our honeymoon suite fridge. Because of this, we could serve the entire cake (top tier included) to our guests, and not hassle with getting the top tier at the end of the night from the hotel staff. She was easy to work with, very professional, and knew what she was doing. Returning the plateau was easy too, after the wedding was over (less headache!) Definitely recommend! read more

We loved our wedding cake that Maggie made for us! We got an almond cake with blueberry compote. Maggie was very responsive to emails and texts which made our wedding planning process enjoyable. The cake tasting was one of my favorite parts of wedding planning! We ended up spending more than we initially budgeted to get the size and look that we wanted, but we think it was worth it! Thank you, Maggie! read more

Cake tasting was the one thing I was looking forward to most when wedding planning, I mean, free cake!? Sign me up. My now-husband and I planned on trying lots of cakes and having many tough choices. Unfortunately, we met with Maggie first and ended up getting two of her cakes! The whole story... Maggie met us with our desired cake samples in a Starbucks and we were able to taste several cakes, fillings and buttercreams which she is able to make in different styles. My husband and I were very impressed with the cakes and we were able to quickly decide which was our favorite. Maggie worked with us to decide on a design that would work for us and very promptly emailed a professional quote. Just to make sure we knew she was the girl for us, we met with another baker. It became very obvious very fast that Maggie was unbelievably professional, organized and knew what she was doing. We ended up choosing the almond cake with cream cheese buttercream and a tart cherry compote for our wedding cake. As a surprise for my groom, we also had Maggie make a groom's cake in the shape of my betrothed's golf bag with chocolate fondant, chocolate cake and caramel buttercream. Both cakes were OUTSTANDING. I couldn't have asked for better cake, in fact, I wish we had more leftover wedding cake because it was soooo good we gobbled it up by the next morning after the wedding. I look forward to the next excuse I have to order a nice cake because I will definitely be asking Maggie to make it for us. Brides, you will not go wrong with a cake from Maggie! read more

Maggie did my cake for my wedding at Kohl Mansion in May 2014 and I loved it! I had shown her pictures of cakes with ruffles and I wanted fresh peonies and left it to her discretion on what that would look like. It turned out beautifully! Maggie ended up going to costco to get extra peonies at the last minute because getting them from my florist was too pricey. I appreciated the extra effort to make sure it would look good! We got two flavors for our cake, the almond cake with blueberry compote for the bottom and chocolate cake with chocolate mousse for the top layer. Everyone said the cake was light and flavorful and even the outside fondant was soft and yummy. I like her flavors because they taste like the real thing and are not too sweet, she also offers more unique flavors than standard places. read more

Maggie took my vision for my cake and blew it out of the park. My cake was so gorgeous! I was speechless when I saw it and the best part was that it tasted good as it looked. Her cake was so light and yummy and she uses the best and fresh ingredients. She is wonderful to work with and very talented.. read more

Cakes By Maggie - My gorgeous wedding cake - Desserts Near Me - San Mateo, California

Maggie came highly recommended to us by our good friend. We set up a cake tasting via email and were completely obsessed with her cakes when we left. We knew we were going to go with her :) Not only were her cakes delicious, we felt really comfortable with her. We knew we were in good hands. She was professional and replied promptly to every email. She worked with our florist on her own after our initial introduction, and on the day of our wedding, the cake looked exactly like we wanted! Thanks, Maggie, for an awesome cake and easy process. read more

Maggie made our wedding cake in July 2012. The cake had three layers for 120 people and a fondant frosting. She did an amazing job. The cake was gorgeous and so delicious! Maggie generously ensured that there would be more than enough cake for everyone. So much so that we thought that the cake might be too big. Well, the cake was so good, it was all gone except for the very top portion! People were going for seconds and thirds! To compare, we thought that Maggie's cake tasting was more delicious than all the other cake tastings we did in the Bay Area (and we chose the top places!). In addition to making a delicious, beautiful cake, Maggie was great to work with. She was really easy to communicate with, helped us pick designs and flavors, and gave us suggestions for how to great looking pictures in an indoor, nighttime setting. Highly recommend! read more

Let me preface this review by saying that I am a wedding planner. I met Maggie via a previous client. I'm not quite sure how they found her but I couldn't be happier that they brought her into my life. Maggie is my go-to wedding cake maker. From the first appointment with her, you'll find that she's really passionate about her craft. To most people, that would be enough reason to book her but when you deal with Maggie, that is merely the beginning. She's willing to work with you on all aspects of your journey. As a planner, I typically stay our of price negotiations so I can't vouch for her in that department - but based on her per piece price, she's priced fairly. I don't want this review to turn into a novel so i'll try and cut it down to what's important. 1) Cakes by Maggie taste amazing! After I was introduced to Maggie, I started sending couples her way. One of those couples happened to be my uncle and his fiance. They already had a cake booked and to be honest, I don't remember the circumstances but they decided to try a tasting with Maggie anyway - within seconds of leaving the appointment my phone ran and all I heard was "g*d d@mm!t Dianne! What did you do?!?" within a few days, they had their original cake cancelled and booked with Maggie! My uncle ended up with far more cake at the end of his wedding than he thought he would - so a bunch of us sat in a hotel room and ate cake after the wedding including extended family members... everyone was blown away! needless to say, there wasn't enough cake after all! 2) Maggie's willingness to change her recipe to accommodate your likes and dislikes. If you like fluffy cake, she can do that. If you like dense brownie-like cake, she can do that too! I mention this because if you are a bride and you start going on these cake tastings - you'll find that most bakers only make cakes one way, what you see and taste is what you get. Where as with Maggie - that's not the case, she wants to make sure you have exactly what you like! 3) Maggie's professionalism blows well known bakers out of the water. Her presentation at the cake tasting alone is enough to wow you. Most bakeries don't take the time and give the same attention that Maggie does. 4) Since my uncle's wedding... several family members have asked about Maggie's cake. At my grandfather's 80th Birthday, everyone asked why we didn't get a Maggie cake. At my cousin's wedding shower, this past October, I couldn't tell you how many people mentioned "remember uncle Mike's wedding cake... that was soooo good!" Keep in mind my uncle just celebrated his 4th wedding anniversary and they're still talking about the cake! 5) I don't want to say anything negative about Maggie because I truly believe she's amazing but i will say my one dislike about Maggie is that I wish that she made personal cakes. Maggie has a minimum amount required which I don't mind so much but I don't think I can eat that much cake (or more true is probably to say that I shouldn't eat that much cake). After speaking with Maggie, you too will understand why she doesn't make thousands of small cakes but after tasting her cake, you'll wish she did! read more

There were positive reviews for "Cakes by Maggie," so I called for a consultation. Maggie was very professional with arranging a time and place for us to meet. We met at a local Starbucks for the tasting. We tried at least five different cake flavors, and they were delicious. My favorite was the white cake with the raspberry preserves. If you are interested in a three tiered cake, you can have a different flavor for each tier. Also, you can request a sheet cake as a supplement to the three tiered cake. Set up and delivery charge from San Mateo to San Jose is $55. We didn't use Cakes by Maggie as our vendor, but I would highly recommend her. read more

Maggie made both our wedding cake and grooms's cake, and she did a fantastic job. Both cakes looked wonderful, and tasted even better. Most highly recommended if you're looking for a cake, whether for a wedding or anything else! 08/07/2012 Update: Our anniversary was yesterday. According to tradition we saved the top tier of our cake for our one year anniversary. We took it out of deep freeze and let it thaw for a day in the refrigerator. To my surprise, the cake was just as good a year later as it was on our wedding day!! I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, so we even had a back up cake just it case. Nope, we didn't even cut into that one. Thank you so much, Maggie, for making such a wonderful cake that stands the test of time! read more

My wedding was on March 23, 2013 and Maggie made my almond wedding cake with blueberry compote filling. It was amazing! She understood my vision and used fresh ranunculus to make my cake simple and very elegant as well. I found Maggie on Yelp over a year ago and we met her at a local Starbucks when we came to the area to meet with vendors. She was on time and provided a fantastic array of samples for us. We chose her because she had one of the moistest cakes we had ever tasted and her pricing was very reasonable. The only drawback to Maggie is that her communication via email is not timely. There were a few occasions that she missed my email and that was very frustrating. I was worried at one point that we may have made a mistake in choosing her. I was wrong. One of the first things I noticed when we made our "grand entrance" into the reception was how beautiful the cake was. It was tasted perfect and the blueberries were fresh. She helped make our day very special and I highly recommend her. read more

I picked Maggie to create our wedding cakes because of her great reviews on Yelp, and I have to say.....she was amazing! Her communication was excellent from the start; always prompt and attentive. We had so much fun at our cake tasting, and she brought MORE samples than usual, because we wanted two cakes (his and hers), and she helped us narrow them down to two incredible cakes. Everyone at our wedding raved about our cakes, and there was always a crowd around the cake table photographing them. The ingredients were fresh and delicious and the flavors balanced perfectly. I knew from the first phone conversation that Maggie was the one for us, and we didn't even try any other baker. We highly recommend her for any cake needs! Thank you Maggie, you're a true artist in your craft!! read more

I wish I could give more than five stars! The cake was absolutely delicious! Most brides worry that what they taste in the tasting won't be the same as the final cake. This was definitely not the case. The tasting was amazing with multiple flavors (which my fiance ate them all while I was talking to Maggie). Our venue said it was one of the best made cakes they have ever had there. They said it cut perfectly and guests were asking to try all three flavors. We did red velvet with cream cheese, chocolat with chocolate ganache and vanilla with whip cream. Every layer was amazing!! Not only was the flavors amazing, but the price was too! I recommend Cakes by Maggie 100%! read more

Based on Yelp reviews I called Maggie twice and left a message to possibly schedule a cake tasting. I really wanted to try the coconut cake with passion fruit filling but she never called me back. I called a 3rd time in hopes she would answer but I got her voicemail once again and just hung up. I was really looking forward to trying her cake, too. read more

Maggie made a fantastic cupcake creation for our wedding. We couldn't have been happier with it. The flavors were delicious - banana cake with Italian meringue honey buttercream and chocolate cake with raspberry Italian meringue buttercream. We had a cutting cake on top, which she decorated with a whimsical lavender border to match our wedding colors. Also, she topped the cupcakes with lavender sugar accents and arranged the whole display with flowers. It was a gorgeous centerpiece for our wedding! In addition, Maggie was great to work with. She happily accommodated some last minute requests that we made; she was very reliable; and her prices were lower than most of the other quotes we got. If you want a beautiful, delicious cake made from the freshest ingredients for your wedding, definitely give Maggie a try! read more

This was my first experience with cake tasting & finding a wedding cake that would please everyone. Maggie made both easy. The cake tasting was incredible all on its own! There must have been a minimum of 8 tiny cakes to taste - all made with organic ingredients and incredible combinations of flavors in both the cakes & frostings. It was hard to choose just one! My daughter-in-law wanted 'Naked Cakes' for the wedding & my son wanted one made with natural sugars only. Maggie made both happen and they were not only delicious, but beautiful also. She was very, very easy to work with; and especially prompt in getting back to me after the cake tasting with a contract outlining our choices, etc. I recommend Cakes by Maggie for her great customer service and her delicious and organic product that becomes a work of art for your wedding reception. read more

I really liked working with Maggie. Her cakes are super yummy. nom nom nom. For my wedding, we had the coconut with passionfruit buttercream and chocolate with cookies & cream. Both of our choices were moist (very important for wedding cakes), sweet, and most importantly, eaten up by all of our wedding guests. Most of them got to try both flavors and lots of people couldn't decide which flavor they liked most. Even the coconut haters decided that they enjoyed our coconut selection. =) Maggie was super sweet and supportive throughout the whole wedding planning process. I know she can also provide wedding favors, so if you're looking for petit fours or cookies, Maggie's your gal! read more

What can I say..Cakes by Maggie is AMAZING! I found Cakes by Maggie through Yelp and was so thankful I contacted her to make my husband's birthday cake. It was his 30th birthday so we wanted to go all out and have a custom cake in the shape of Lebron James' basketball jersey. Her cake was delicious - balanced flavors, not too sweet, and super moist. The cake design was also perfection! She really listened to what we wanted and took special care to make sure all of the details we requested were captured in the design of the cake. You should definitely contact Maggie if you are looking for a custom cake! read more

I didn't end up going for Maggie's, because we decided not to go the traditional wedding cake route - but I think Maggie is great!! She really was receptive to my ideas for flavors. She was amazing, her prices were also super super reasonable and I would definitely have gone with Maggie even had I gone through with the tasting. A very very very professional baker - I was very impressed. read more

Maggie created a beautiful wedding cake that was not only gorgeous to look at but also delicious! The process began by her calling me and getting to know me and my fiancée. When we met with her for the tasting she created a tasting menu to match our taste. It was very difficult to choose but finally decided. She was great to work with and all my guests raved about how good the cake tasted. She is busy so don't get discouraged if she doesn't reply to your message right away, just know she will take care of you on the day of your event. read more

We first tried Maggie's cupcakes at my now husbands' sisters wedding. When it was our turn to get married we contacted Maggie for a tasting and they were all so delicious and fresh and unique!!! The hardest part was narrowing down which flavors we wanted for our wedding cupcakes. On our wedding day, Maggie delivered our Chinese-themed red and gold cupcakes and they were gorgeous!!! The double happiness topper turned out perfect!! Sooo cute I wanted to pause everything so I can soak in the cuteness and stare at them longer but things were going sooo fast! I really loved the kitchen cake! I could eat the whole thing by myself too! (even the fondant! Her fondant was the most edible/delicious fondant I ever had!) We had as much as we could before the honeymoon but I freezed the rest and the first thing I said when I got off the plane when we got back was "I can't wait to go home and have some more of that wedding cake!" Lol. And you know what, it was still just as good! Just let it thaw for a bit and dove right in, it was fantastic. We brought some cupcakes with us when we left too. Anyways, call Maggie for your cake/cupcake needs...she's the bomb!!! read more

Maggie is AMAZING! We were referred to her by a good friend of ours. We set up a cake tasting with her and a well known bakery in the area that I am obsessed with. I will have to admit... after tasting Maggie's magic we didn't even want to go to a tasting with our first choice bakery! She is professional, fun, great with communication, and she makes DAMN good cakes! My fiancée and I were surprised with her creative pairings and just about melted to the floor when we tasted them. Currently we are working on designs for our giant 300 person cake and couldn't be happier with our choice! Her communication is ON POINT which makes this process a whole lot easier. Bottom line is, if you're having a Bay Area wedding, Maggie is definitely worth contacting! Can't wait to come back and post pictures of our cake! read more

Maggie is very professional and will accommodate your every need. She made our wedding cake to every specification we wanted (and we asked a lot). Thinking that it couldn't taste as well as it looked, the flavor was awesome! She will make cakes for any occasion. I might ask her to make a birthday cake for my kids one day. read more

We used Maggie for our July 9, 2011 wedding. We met with her months before for the cake tasting and everything was delicious. She gave us exactly what we wanted; a customized three tiered cake with different flavors and look. On the wedding day it was delivered and setup on time. It was beautiful. Afterwards there wasn't much left to take home because our guests couldn't get enough :). We highly recommend Maggie. read more

Maggie made the cake for my wedding in July and it was incredibly delicious and light (as in not too dense). It was by far the best wedding cake that I've ever tasted and guests cleaned their plates completely at the end of the evening. We had two flavors - coconut with passion fruit filling and chocolate with mocha filling. We had a wedding cake and a grooms cake which were both very pretty and well made. I got a lot of compliments from guests that the cake was really delicious which made me really happy. I had a high degree of confidence in Maggie from the get go without doing the cake tasting (my fiance did it instead) because she had made a cake for a friend's wedding. I am happy to report that not only did she make a beautiful cake, but it totally exceeded my expectations when I was actually able to taste it. Thanks Maggie! read more

My Fiance and I had tried a few other bakers before we found Maggie on Yelp, but didn't get the "we really care about you and your cake" type of feeling we were looking for. We called Maggie in November of 2010 to ask about a tasting and request pricing information for our July 9, 2011 wedding. We were able to set something up over the phone, and she promised to e-mail us with the answers to our other questions. That same day we got an e-mail, complete with her philosophy about her work, and straight forward pricing information. Less than a week later we met with Maggie at her business office (otherwise known as Starbuck's), for our tasting. As soon as we sat down with Maggie we felt that personal attention we were looking for. Maggie really cares about her clients, and we felt like she was really listening to what we had to say while my Fiance was explaining our "vision". The samples we tasted were AMAZING, and just what we asked for. She also included a couple of other flavor combinations for us to try that we hadn't thought of. The funny thing is, after it was all said and done, we ended up choosing two of the flavors she suggested, and none of the flavors we did. We ended up going with a 3-tier cake with white cake with Meyer lemon French meringue buttercream & raspberry preserves, and Almond cake with blueberry compote and cream cheese icing. From the second we left the tasting, we knew we were going to go with Maggie (we even cancelled our tasting with another baker we had the following day). Maggie was able to work the numbers to fit our budget, and we paid about $750 total for the custom designed cake, delivery and setup (and perhaps most valuable of all...Personal Service). To sum it up, Maggie is the best there is. At no time did we have a problem getting ahold of her; She always returned calls and e-mails promptly; She worked with us on our pricing needs; And we got the personal attention we were looking for. The cake was an absolute hit at our reception. We had guests searching for seconds and thirds! The next day my wife and I even broke open the "save until your anniversary" tier just to have another slice. If you're looking for a real professional who puts alot of love into her work, go see Maggie. You WON'T be disappointed. read more

Maggie is a great person to work with. I contacted her about two months before my wedding date and we worked out together with a plan quite quickly. She provided a complimentary cake tasting as well to help us decide which cake flavor and butter cream combination we love. She is flexible and could do an Asian style (less sugar and lighter taste) cake for us since majority of our guests are Asians. We ended up with two flavors for a 3-tier cake for about 75 guests count. Her cake is very delicious! And she also helped us set up the cake at our reception venue and make everything look perfect. I would definitely recommend Maggie for any special event! read more

Maggie is amazing! And her cakes are to die for!! I especially LOVE her Black Russian Cake (her own recipe), Coconut cake, and Carrot cake although she can create any custom flavors you can think up. Everything is fresh and very reasonably priced. She is very professional and makes you feel instantly comfortable. Although we ultimately ended up going with someone in the city for our wedding cake, I would recommend Maggie to friends and family in a heart beat! She only charges $45 for delivery to SF and if you send her a high res jpeg of your cake on wedding day, she'll reimburse you $30 from your contract price. It doesn't get any sweeter than that! read more

My fiance and I hired Maggie for our wedding cake. We had a relatively simple fondant, 3-tier round cake with 120 servings (I think; which is the minimum), and another 150 servings or so of sheet cake. She's friendly and gave us a great assortment of flavors and fillings during the tasting.. we were blown away by how great it all tasted, and ended up paying extra so we could have 3 flavors (almond cake with cherry compote and cream cheese icing, black russian cake with blueberry compote and vanilla whipped cream, and coconut cake with roasted pineapple french meringue buttercream) instead of our original plan of 1-2 flavors.. and also getting more servings than she recommended because we were sure our guests would want at least 2 slices each!.. and we wouldn't mind taking home some leftovers. Sheet cake servings are inexpensive, which is a fantastic cost saver. We also made a special request to make all the cakes as moist as the Black Russian cake during the tasting.. unfortunately, all the wedding cakes seemed quite a bit drier than during the tasting, which my husband and I found really disappointing, but our guests still loved the cakes! Also unfortunately (but no fault of Maggie's), our caterer ran an hour late and our schedule ran so behind that most of our guests left by the time we cut the cake. We ended up with about 200 servings of cake leftover! Good thing we bought takeout containers, so our servers packed sheet cake into the containers and we forced the remaining guests to take them home (which they did, happily), and we took home the entire 3-tiered cake! My husband and I weren't planning to save the top tier in the freezer, but we ended up putting it in the freezer since we had so much cake to go through--ended up giving away most of it to family and coworkers. read more

Maggie was awesome! She does a great job of presenting many many tasty choices for you. I tried five flavors and they were all delicious. She was timely and accommodating. I would have her bake me every cake! read more

Maggie's cakes are not only beautiful but delicious as well. They are light and NOT heavy icky sweet like most wedding cakes. I chose Coconut Milk Cake with Passion fruit and White cake with Raspberry. There were only 2 pieces left after the reception! Her presentation was very professional and she listened closely to hear what I wanted. All I had to do was pick out my favorite flavor combination and she did the rest, including decorating the cake table at the reception. My daughter had a specific design in mind and the cake turned out just like she wanted. Very good experience! read more

I was the photographer at a wedding Maggie made the cake for. First of all the cake was stunning and flawless - every picture I took of it was gorgeous. Second, the passion fruit cake tasted so delisious, exotic and fresh. The bride was so excited about the cake - she kept talking about it and couldn't wait till it was served. The guests love Maggie's cake too, I don't think there was any cake left over. read more

My fiance and I had Maggie do the cake at our wedding. She did a great job. She met with us to sample some flavors and to figure out what we wanted. During and after the meeting, she was great - she listened to what we wanted, provided some suggestions, and was very good at following up when I asked questions leading up until our wedding. At the wedding, the cake looked and tasted great. Maggie is a great choice for anyone looking for a wonderful tasting, reasonably priced wedding cake. read more

i have no idea where to begin with maggie. so i was in charge of planning everything for my wedding (april 3, 2010). one main vendor i needed to find was somebody to make the CAKE. so naturally i started with famous/popular bakeries in the area. i was extremely disapointed with their work. i scheduled many tastings, i'm guessing those bakeries were only famous for the smaller birthday type cakes you buy when you walk in and they have those displayed. anyways, i think we went to like 10, and they were disgusting in taste, not very cooperative when it came to this "look" i was trying to describe, and VERY expensive on top of that. i got frustrated so i said there must be SOMEbody in the bay area who could make me a delicious cake, enough for all the guests (a couple hundred!), make it the way i want it to look exactly ( i was VERY very picky), decorate the table, deliver it to the hall for me, etc... so i resulted to searching on YELP and BAMN!!! there was MAGGIE! wonderful reviews so i said ok it cant hurt to schedule a tasting. from the moment we met her, she was just AWESOME. so professional, FRIENDLy, sweet, and nICE. she actually CARED about what we wanted and were looking for. she let us taste her most famous flavors. we picked almond cake with blueberry and creamcheese filling, and almond cake with fresh strawberries and whip cream filling, both were AMAZINGGGGGGGGGG. she made PLENTYyyyy, she gives liberal servings, unlike bakeries who make you pay for like 100 servings, but will only give you 50! so when she says 100 people, you will get at least 100 big slices! also, shes very affordable, dependable, always kept in contact with me via phone or email, she always responded immediately to my questions (only vendor who did that!). hmm oh and the look of it, she made it exactly the way i wanted down to the very smallest edible gold sparkle dust i requested, not to mention the whole thing was delivered, cake was decorated, it looked amazing, people are still asking me about it, it was delicious, more servings than expected, affordable, and just plain BEAUTIFUL. i dont know if im missing anything but i can go on for hours about her... if you're looking for a cake- big or small- call MAGGIE!!! SHES AMAZING!!!!!!!! :) read more
