HI! I have ordered custom cakes for 2 years now for my wife's birthday and each time the cake has only gotten better. (Yes she is forever 33 yrs old!) The cake (2 flavors) is not only delicious but EXCEEDED my expectations in appearance. Gina is always easy to communicate with and is such a freaking INCREDIBLE artist. This year's cake was painted in order to achieve the detail. If you want quality and great customer service, stop looking. This woman and her shop are it! I am excited for what Gina will do next year! :) Thank you so much, yet again! Kevin:) read more

Me and a couple of girls took her cake decorating class at Monkey Cat last night. What a fun and enjoyable evening. She did an amazing job showing us techniques and moving things along for everyone. She also provided the cake, all the tools and a lovely gift box to take home our masterpieces. Can't wait to attend the cookie event next time. Thank you to Gina and her husband for a stress free fun evening. read more

All I can say is WOW! I contacted Gina a few weeks ahead of a big birthday bash I was hosting, and she happily agreed to make a custom Louis Vuitton cake, after others I contacted were too intimidated to do it. She knocked it out of the park! Not only was the cake beautiful, it was delicious! I'll never go anywhere else for a custom cake. Thanks, Gina! read more

The cake was a huge hit at my Dad's 90th birthday party. I sent her a picture of what I wanted and tweaked a few of the details on the cake and it turned out wonderful. So tasty and moist too. We chose chocolate with raspberry filling. My next special occasion I will most certainly choose Gina Maries again. read more

I ordered a Tiramisu from Gina to serve at a dinner party a week later. She responded in a timely manner and, at my request, arranged to have me pay the full sum in a single installment rather than a deposit and the remaining amount in two installments. I picked up the gorgeous Tiramisu from her friendly mother at their booth at Auburn's Saturday morning Farmer's Market and served it to my guests that night. It was the best Tiramisu they and I had ever tasted -- bar none -- including Tiramisu two of us had enjoyed during separate tours of Italy! It was sooo creamy yet light, with just the right balance of coffee and cocoa. My guests, when emailing the next day to thank me for dinner, mentioned wanting to try other Gina Marie desserts. Me, too! read more

Gina created an amazing cake for our Taco Bell grand opening. The cake was a replica of our building and it came out beautifully. Her mother, Debbie, was great with communication. Even when construction delays forced me to change the due date at least three or four times, they were accommodating and responsive. It was one thing for the cake to be beautiful, but it was also delicious! I chose to have a chocolate and oreo cake and the flavor was rich and the texture was fluffy and moist. It is so great to have a bakery of this quality right here in Auburn. read more

It was such a pleasure to work with Gina Marie's! We decided about a month before our wedding we wanted to do a small cutting cake. I was ghosted by another local and well-known baker, however, I received a response from Gina right away and she was more than happy to make our cake. I'm so glad the other baker didn't get back to me because my experience with Gina was top notch and the cake turned out absolutely beautiful and delicious. The pics don't do justice. Pickup was a breeze! Highly, highly recommend!! read more

If it were possible to choose zero, or negative stars, I would. I can't rate the cake that I ordered, because Gina Marie's cancelled twenty-four hours before pick-up. If their cake was anything like their service (or lack thereof) it would go in the trash. On Thursday, August 10th I went into her shop to order a very special 21st birthday cake for the following Wednesday, August 16th. I rarely order specialty cakes anywhere and so I specifically asked if a week was enough time. Gina assured me that it was and took the all of my information and stated that they require a 50% deposit - no problem. I requested a silhouette (horse) design and she told me to text the artwork so that they could give me a specific price and then I could pay the deposit. Again, no problem. I texted the art and was quoted $115 cash. It seemed high, even for a quarter sheet, but as it truly was a special event, I didn't hesitate and dropped off a $60 cash deposit on Monday the 14th. I also had two separate text conversations during this time regarding how the cake would hold up in the heat (it was 103' at 6pm on the 16th) and also what time I needed to pick up the cake (1pm). All good - refrigeration check - be in Auburn by 1pm on Wednesday - check. Many thanks, blah, blah, blah. On Tuesday the 15th at 12:23pm I received the following - quote: Hey Bonnie! I left you a voice mail today. I didn't realize that your cake was due tomorrow. After checking your date and the book, there is no time for us to get this done. My apologies for the inconvenience. We will keep your deposit until you pick it up or we can mail it to you. Again, please accept my apologies for the screw up! When I responded with an "are you kidding me?" I was told that they could have the cake ready on Friday. Friday? The birthday is Wednesday. You only have one 21st birthday. Would they suggest this for a wedding cake as well? When I then listened to the voice mail it was casual, almost sing-song and nothing short of "oh well, sorry!" No time? How about you work overtime to make up for your (in your words) screw up? How about you call around to your colleagues and come up with a solution? You had an entire week to figure this out. I was fortunate enough to find another boutique bakery late in the day on the 15th and share the circumstances. When I asked if they could possibly do the cake they responded "of course". When I asked to leave a deposit they said "no need". When I asked how much it would be, they quoted a price that was half of the original cake. It was beautiful. It was delicious. Days later, the birthday girl is still raving about it. There are many exceptionally professional small businesses in our community. We can pick and choose whom we want to support and why. Gina Marie's was a total fail and they truly don't care. I can't believe I was the first and I'd bet that $115 that it won't be the last. read more

Gina has made cupcakes for about 4 of our family events. My mom found her on Facebook so we thought we would give her a try for my wedding. The cupcakes she made were just beautiful and yummy as well. We had our wedding at the Miner's Foundry in Nevada City and our colors were rose gold and navy. She made the most beautiful chocolate cupcakes with soft pink frosting and a rose gold edible dusting on top. My guests keep asking about those! She made fun baby shower cupcakes as well as Luau cupcakes for my dad's birthday. I'm now planning my husbands 40th and will go to her for sure! Easy delivery, easy payment and Gina gets back to you RIGHT AWAY (which is worth it's weight in gold). read more

Outstanding experience! Came to celebrate a dear friend's birthday. A couple of days before the trip communicated with Gina and her assistant Debbie about a desire for an amazing birthday cake providing a few pieces of information on coveted flavour profile, asked to be surprised (got WOWED). Provided projected pickup time as we flew into Sacramento. At bakery was given a Masterpiece. Gina is amazing! When we dug into the cake at night celebrating the birthday - we raised a toast to Gina for her outstanding creation. There were 6 of us vs a big rich cake, by Sunday noon we finished it, per host a cake has never before been finished, compliments to the patissier Gina! Thank you! read more
