Cakes By Marissa Roces

I love Mia's Bakery. I went so many times during my two months in Brooklyn and even came back a…read moremonth later just to have it again. I've been to both locations--the Times Square one is much smaller, but the Brooklyn location is amazing with a nice sit-down area. I always go back to my favorite, the tres leches cupcakes. I've also tried the lobster tail--it's delicious. Definitely loved it!

Stopped by early Saturday morning to pick up some Blackout Cake slices for a birthday. There is…read moremetered parking in front and residential parking on close by. I had no problem finding parking. They had a few people ordering at the front, and a few people eating in the back. I perused the available cake (and pie) slices and other smaller baked goods, but did not see the Blackout Cake Slice! When I asked the staff, they regretfully informed me that they did not have slices that day, so I went with the next best option... an 8" cake! I didn't get any writing on the cake, as I already had a Happy Birthday candle, and I didn't want to add extra icing to the cake. I liked how well they package the cake. The box was large enough, and they line the bag with a thin piece of cardboard to stabilize the box. I'm not a big sweets person, but I enjoyed the chocolate-y richness of the cake. The cake itself was moist and the pudding held everything together well. I would be back to try their Strawberry Shortcake and other desserts.

Radio...give me a call I'd love to talk biz. Additional notes: staff are always in high spirits + line moves incredibly fast + only thing I've had here that is subpar is the coffee.

I called Ms. Angela last minute, and she went above and beyond to help me. She was incredibly kind and understanding, and to my surprise, she was able to provide me with a fresh Black Cake right away! The moment my daughter and I tasted it, we knew we had found something special. The cake is rich, moist, and perfectly spiced. Every bite is full of authentic flavor and pure delight. You can truly taste the love and tradition baked into it. Not only did I walk away with a great Black Cake but I also left feeling grateful for such warm and thoughtful customer service.

From children's themes to sophisticated motifs, Marissa's labor of love never disappoints. She captures the essence of the design that you want to convey and if you give her some little personal details about the celebrant or occasion, she will go out of her way to add special touches to make it more personal for the celebrant or for the occasion. But the beauty of it all is that the cakes themselves are truly delicious that these gorgeous decor are truly just "icing on the cake." read more

I have had the pleasure of tasting this ladies cakes... sometimes it was truly a guilty pleasure . After all the work & love and craftsmanship she puts into these cakes... almost seems a crime to cut them! I've always thought that they're just the right amount of sweet. Other cakes don't hold a candle to hers . Marti- read more
