Google search, "gluten free cakes maple ridge, british columbia, canada" took me to this wonderful…read moreneighborhood bakery, what a lucky find. I live in Honolulu and was going to Maple Ridge to see family & looking for 3 cakes to celebrate 3 birthdays, a gluten free cupcake, a delicious, special birthday cake for my sister & a regular cupcake. I spoke with Sara, a friendly, knowledgeable person. We discussed their popular cakes and I selected their black forest cake because Sara told me the cherries were special and delicious. My niece said that her gluten free chocolate cupcake was moist and had a good texture. I "accidently tasted the buttercream frosting and it was very good. The black forest cake was phenomenal, I have never tasted a better cake, and yes, the cherries were scrumptious! The whipped cream frosting was rich, delicious and tasted like 100% whipped cream. Dark chocolate shavings generously adorned the sides of the cake with plenty of loose shaving to have a taste. All 8 adults raved about the cake and agreed that it was the most delicious thing that they have ever tasted. When we arrived to pick-up the cake, we could not resist the yummy, well displayed cakes, muffins, giant cookies & variety of other baked goods. I selected a mini ginger bundt with cream cheese filling & crystalized ginger, pecan orange giant cookie & oatmeal raisin giant cookie. The bundt had a good balance of molasses complimented the cream cheese frosting. When I visit Maple Ridge again, I will be sure to stop by to load up on their goodies & another black forest cake...unfortunately, my niece is celiac and unable to indulge in most of the pastries. I'll be dreaming about the black forest cake from Hawaii for a long long time! Sorry, I neglected to take pictures.

I have tried more things from here since my first visit a few years ago. I really want to love the…read morecakes here but they are just not wow to me. The highlight is still the shortbread cookies. The cakes are still not that great to me. The latest cake I tried was the Dubai chocolate cake. If I eat it as just a chocolate cake, then it's good. As Dubai chocolate, it falls way short. It is lacking the kataifi (or knafeh) bits and I can barely taste the pistachio cream or tahini. The chocolate is probably overpowering the other flavors. Very pretty in presentation though. The blackforest cake is also lacking in the kirsch taste. I can barely taste it. Maybe I had a such a great tasting blackforest cake before that many places do not match up to it. Bottom line: just get the shortbread cookie. Get the cakes only if you're really craving it and this is the only place nearby for it.

The chocolate icing was just right to add a thin layer of silkiness without feeling greasy, and lighten up the chocolate cheese cake. The 6" cake is just right for a group of 6-10. The strawberry and fruit decoration were all eaten up by the kids in the family so that's always fun.

Price wise, I believe they are the same as other locations. I highly recommend buying your pastries and desserts directly from their store rather than Persian supermarkets because they are more fresh and you will get a better deal. If you are worried about freshness, I recommend asking them which "shirinis" were made that day or the day before to help refine your selection. They usually also have prepackaged shirinis that don't need to be refrigerated ready to go. You can also order customized birthday cakes and celebratory cakes from them.

The price seemed slightly expensive, especially given their non-central location.

After renovation Maxim deserves a fresh review - this review is specifically for their birthday…read morecakes. I have ordered a number of different flavours before but today I ordered one of their more expensive one "Mango Cake". At $32 for an 6" Cake I thought it was expensive-but boy was I completely wrong! And here is why: 1. The cake is lathered in fresh ripe super sweet outside with overlapping thin soft mango slices. Top with what seems to be endless decorative whipped cream-filled mango cones. A cut into inside reviews yet another generous clusters of mango. There has to be at least 3 mango in this small cake! Value right there. 2. Unless other "fruit" cakes made of drained canned fruit, this mango cake is 100% mango with a few blueberries on top. Never had I have a more satisfying fruit cake. My husband doesn't like sweet and today he ate over half the cake. 3. This cake has so much mango that the cake feels like it takes only 30-40% of the cake's weight. This little cake weights heavier than most 8" cakes. Mango is a lot more expensive than flour and air. You can get a taste before committing by buying the single piece format. You will be addicted instantly. Definitely will be buying mango cake from now on.
