Cakes by Marida was one of my favorite experiences about wedding planning. I bake as a hobby and it truly is one of my passions therefore having both a delicious and beautiful cake for our wedding day was VERY important to me. I emailed Donna for an inquiry and she responded almost immediately. We then scheduled a tasting and I went to the tasting with my sister in law (my bridesmaid) who also loves sweets and we got to taste many of the cake flavors and her AMAZING/ONE OF A KIND strawberry buttercream. After the tasting, I decided immediately that I wanted Donna to bake our wedding cake, the tasting was that delicious! I decided for the All Chocolate cake and Vanilla with Strawberry Buttercream Cake, I loved the fact she made a two tier cake but there was plenty of sheet cake for the rest of our wedding guests. Donna was very nice through the whole process, she even allowed me to mail our cake topper straight to her house from the store I got it. I showed her wedding cake pictures from pinterest so she can understand what I was looking for and when I saw our wedding cake in person I was delighted with how beautiful it looked, it was even more beautiful than the pictures I showed her! Last but not least, I cannot wait to have our one year wedding anniversary cake!

Thank you Donna for such an excellent and unique experience!

Donna's cakes are beautiful, delicious, and a great value for the price! Finding a baker who makes amazing cakes for a reasonable price is difficult, but we were so happy when we found Donna that we booked her on the spot at our tasting! We went over to Donna's for a tasting, and had several delicious flavors to choose from, and ended up doing a different flavor for each tier, plus an extra sheet cake (the "fall spice" top layer was VERY popular and great for our October wedding.) On our wedding day, the cake looked exactly as I had described/shown her, and tasted as I remembered too! Donna also had us just ship our topper to her house so she had everything all set up at the reception (and one less thing for us to remember on the day.) As a plus - since we live locally on our 1 year anniversary Donna will make us a small cake so we didn't have to freeze the top layer for a year! We highly recommend Cakes by Marida! (thank you Donna!)

Our experience with Donna could not have been better. Our cake with as tasty as it was beautiful. We found Donna to be extremely easy to work with and accommodating. When we had questions she worked with us and offered suggestions for how we could make things happen vs. pushing an aggressive upsell. Donna is passionate about her work and wants her customers to be happy -- it's evident in the way she approaches her craft. I would 100% recommend Donna and hope there is an opportunity to work together again in the future.
