Would Thou Like to Live Deliciously?
We had our cake tasting with Grace and we really enjoyed the pairings we tried. We had a weirdly specific request for a cake frosted like a Black and White Cookie. We went with a small three tiered Vanilla funfetti cake, with espresso filling, and buttercream frosting (half vanilla half chocolate). It was SO. GOOD. Lots of guests were complimenting how great it was. McLains also provides a free 1 year anniversary cake so we got to enjoy our leftover cake.We had our cake tasting with Grace and we really enjoyed the pairings we tried.

Amazing experience!
We had an amazing experience with McLain's. Planning a wedding out of state can be difficult, but they were so accommodating. Everything from the cake tasting to reception was effortless. We wanted mini cheesecakes in addition to a traditional wedding cake and they made it happen. The cake was delicious and people could not get enough of it. Would choose McLain's again in a heartbeat!!We had an amazing experience with McLain's. Planning a wedding out of state can be difficult, but they were so accommodating.

Wonderful Cake!
My wife and I had our wedding at the end of May 2021 with McLain’s Bakery providing cupcakes and cake at the reception. We had a tall 6” passionfruit cake with buttercream frosting to cut and share with family while also providing three different mini-cupcake options for guests. We already loved McLain’s other bakery products, so it was no surprise that their cupcakes and cake were beautiful and delicious. We initially became intrerested during the early days of COVID, so we ended up doing a take-home tasting, but it was super fun. We went back for our in-person consultation later and felt so at-ease to have such a beloved local establishment handle one of the most iconic pieces of the wedding. The cakes were delivered in a timely manner and the quality was beyond reproach. Another perk is that you get a free anniversary cake after your first year; no more eating freezer-burned cake! I would highly recommend McLain’s for any occasion.My wife and I had our wedding at the end of May 2021 with McLain’s Bakery providing cupcakes and cake at the reception.

Amazing baker to go with
Their prices are stunningly low... which made me nervous about the quality. At the free tasting I tried the vanilla, almond, pumpkin, and red velvet. I loved them ALL. I ended up choosing the red velvet which I personally prefer with a cream cheese frosting (which I let the lady know) and they immediately offered me a sample of the cream cheese frosting (also delicious). They were extremely patient with me tasting and choosing and were flexible to ensure I got the exact cake I wanted. Couldn't be more pleased with this baker.Their prices are stunningly low... which made me nervous about the quality. At the free tasting I tried the vanilla, almond, pumpkin, and red velvet.

Cake for all!
McLain's has got it going on! They were extremely responsive when inquiring about their cakes and the tasting was seamless. When the day arrived, the cake was delicious, coming from someone who doesn't love cake! The team decorated it exactly how I envisioned which was a bonus. I HIGHLY recommend McLain's to all brides.McLain's has got it going on! They were extremely responsive when inquiring about their cakes and the tasting was seamless.

Understanding and Mouth-Watering
McLain's was willing to listen to my requests and fulfilled every vision I had for my wedding cake. They were understanding when we went back and forth about a groom's cake and eventually landed on a great design. They were fun and easy to work with. I still have guests reaching out to me to ask where we got the cake from. Many family member and friends soon went to McLain's for their own events.McLain's was willing to listen to my requests and fulfilled every vision I had for my wedding cake.

Great Service!
They were responsive to all my emails, which was so helpful since I was planning my wedding from another state. They quickly arranged for a mini taste-test when my husband was in town, which was so helpful. It all tasted wonderful, and it was exactly what I wanted.They were responsive to all my emails, which was so helpful since I was planning my wedding from another state.

Delicious, Local Bakery
We absolutely loved working with McLain's on our wedding cake. The cake is delicious and the team is so flexible and easy to work with. We opted for a one tier cutting cake and sheet cakes for our guests. Our cutting cake was the exact semi-naked design we talked about with beautiful flowers. The guests loved the option of chocolate or white cake. Would highly recommend working with McLain's for your wedding desserts!We absolutely loved working with McLain's on our wedding cake.

For my daughter’s recent wedding, we did a lot of research on bakeries in the Kansas City area, narrowed it down to a few highly rated options, bought small cakes in the bride's and groom’s preferred flavors (vanilla and strawberry) from each bakery, and had a group tasting with 10 family members. McLain’s was the unanimous choice. The cakes and frosting were just outstanding. We couldn’t wait to eat McLain’s cake again at the wedding, and it was a huge hit with our 200 guests, too (glad I ordered a lot of extra servings). The design was simple and elegant, made even more beautiful with a spray of fresh flowers. And I felt the price was very reasonable for the quality and quantity. I strongly recommend putting McLain’s on your list of bakeries to consider for your wedding.For my daughter’s recent wedding, we did a lot of research on bakeries in the Kansas City area, narrowed it down to a few highly rated options, bought small cakes in the bride's and groom’s preferred flavors (vanilla and strawberry) from each bakery, and had a group tasting with 10 family members.

Megan and team at McLains make picking out a wedding cake about as easy as you could want! I showed her several pictures and she offered ideas, especially how to maximize the cake while staying within our budget. She gave us a tasting box with a couple extra flavors to make sure we got the perfect combo! They are professional, prompt in addressing questions, and well, not to mention create delicious tasting cakes that look amazing!Megan and team at McLains make picking out a wedding cake about as easy as you could want!

We ordered cupcakes for our wedding. My mother was in charge of this and I did not even taste the cupcakes before the wedding. I will say that my mom made the perfect choice. They were some of the best cupcakes I have ever had. They even had glitter on them! I thought that they did a great job of taking into account the colors of our wedding and the style. If anyone is wanting cupcakes for their wedding I would definitely get them from McLain's.We ordered cupcakes for our wedding.

I met with six vendors for wedding cakes, and I am so happy I chose to go with McLain's Bakery! The value for the quality of my wedding cake could not be beat! McLain's Bakery tries to bake their wedding cakes the night before the event and decorate the morning of the event to ensure the freshest cake possible. I loved this about them! They included fillings free of charge and delivered a picture perfect cake for my reception. I highly recommend McLain's!I met with six vendors for wedding cakes, and I am so happy I chose to go with McLain's Bakery! The value for the quality of my wedding cake could not be beat!

The cake was the best I've had that I can recall. Soooo moist. Just the right amount of frosting v. cake.
As, MOB, it was a pleasure working with McLain's. We did a tasting at the bakery. We tried white, chocolate with a mousse center, red velvet and strawberry with a strawberry filling. I'm not a chocolate cake fan and quickly changed my mind. It was hard to decide and chose chocolate , white and strawberry.
This cake was so good there was not tasting any other cakes. Thank you
to McLains for the best cake around. Servings were for 100. Cost was about $350 including delivery.
Frosting was butter creme and yummy.

We loved our cake
Only positive things to say- flavor were delightful and easy team to work with. Cake was devoured fast! We even asked for our dog to be part of the design and the baker beautifully crafted her out of fondant to look like she was peaking out the middle tier.Only positive things to say- flavor were delightful and easy team to work with.
