    Simply beautiful AND delicious wedding cake

    We highly recommend Maryann for her wedding cake services! She makes the most beautiful sugar roses for her cakes -- which really helped simplify our dessert table as we didn't need to coordinate cake decor with our florist.

    I called Maryann only a month before our wedding (when our original cake plan fell through), and she was friendly and happy to step in! She delivered the cake to our venue on time and set it up in person to make sure it looked perfect.

    We ordered a white cake with raspberry filling on the top layer and dark chocolate ganache filling on the bottom layer. The cake, fillings, and buttercream frosting all tasted amazing! Our guests absolutely loved it -- there were no leftovers to be had.

    Thank you Maryann!

    Delicious cake and great lady!

    Maryann was wonderful in helping us plan our wedding cake. We were very impressed with the deliciousness of her cake at our sampling meeting, and Maryann was super supportive in helping us to design a wedding cake that was perfect for us! She even crafted a practice cake to show us her work on an unusual design pattern that we were hoping to use. Unfortunately the coronavirus pandemic made it impossible for us to hold our wedding as planned, so we will not be getting to enjoy Maryann's cake on our big day. However, we were very much looking forward to it and we highly recommend her as your wedding baker!

    Sincerely,

    Maryanne was so amazing! I'll be honest, at first it worried and confused us that she works out of her home instead of a store front but don't let that stop you from seeing her! She was so sweet and really worked with us on what we wanted in a cake. We loved all the flavors that we tasted and decided to have them all. The cake was very affordable and we felt good about supporting a local bussiness. We asked for dahlias on the cake and the were BEAUTIFUL! I saved them and currently am trying to find something creative to do with them, I just can't throw them away. She was very flexible too, we changed the date on her and how big of a cake we needed and she had no problems switching it up for us. It was a huge relief and we really appreciated her being so accommodating. The cake ended up being ready a week early but it was a blessing in disguise since it ended up working better with our schedule. She apologized but honestly, it's it really our fault. We changed things on her and made it confusing. Again, we appreciate the flexibility. I would suggest Maryanne to anyone and hopefully one day she can afford a store front! I would love to see that happen, she's very sweet and deserving!

    Dear Amanda and Stephen,
    Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I will cherish it for a very long time. Thank you for having faith in me. This is one thing I love about what I do is the beautiful couples I get to work with. It is truly amazing and a beautiful experience. May I add a word so that others will know, the dahlia and peony were hand made my me.. and.. it was the first time I had made either one of them. Thank you again for believing in me to make your dreams come true.

    Maryann is an absolute pleasure to work with! Simply Beautiful Cakes provided my husband & I with our gorgeous and delicious wedding cake! Our guests commented on how wonderful the cake was and we've since referred another couple to Simply Beautiful Cakes. Planning a wedding is a VERY stressful time, but Maryann with Simply Beautiful Cakes helped ease some of this stress with her prompt responses, professionalism, and sweet demeanor.

    Maryann did a wonderful job making the cakes for our rustic inspired wedding. She was so sweet and such a joy to work with. She had all sorts of wonderful ideas about the wedding cakes, and did a great job at creating and listening to our vision of a cake. My husband and I were on a tight budget and went with two cakes. One really nice looking sheet cake that taste delicious for the masses, and one smaller beautiful cake with gorgeous handmade roses for cutting. For a crowd of roughly 120 people, there was plenty to go around, and the price could not be beat! I would definitely recommend this vendor to all who want an equally beautiful and equally delicious cake.

    Unprofessional and unsanitary

    We had a bad experience with simply beautiful cakes. She has saying bad things about previous brides which made us wonder what she would say about us later. We also had concerns about sanitation. Multiple times she was wiping drool off of her face and she was digging around in her ear. I understand that she had a dental procedure which caused her to drool but then she shouldn't have scheduled a cake tasting when she was going to be constantly wiping her face with her hands. She also charged us $50 for the cake tasting just so that she could donated half the cakes to her dentist office. We felt the entire interaction was very unprofessional. She didn't even remember my daughter's name. She made us feel like she didn't like us as soon as we walked in the door.

    Simply Beautiful Cakes's reply:

    Tracy,
    I certainly apologize for any negative behavior on my part. The dentist appointment came up and was available at that time. your appointment was already scheduled. I had a problem with my tooth that needed to be taken care of. I apologize. I was using tissue if I needed to dab. Also the comments were not meant to be in a derogatory way about previous Bride. I was sharing my opinion about the flavor of the cake and the contrast. I in no way was talking bad about the bride. The $ 50 is what I charge for the cake tasting. No matter how much cake is left over. I usually give the customer the pieces left over that they enjoyed the most of. If you wanted ALL of the cake I made, you should have said so. I would have gladly given it to you. Not all of the cake I made was intended for the cake tasting. I made enough to taste. I usually end up with more than I need. I do share my leftovers. And as far as remembering your daughters name. Anyone can have a slip in memory after a few days of talking with the customer. And to say I didn't like you was a horrible thing to say. I greeted you with a very nice greeting and invited you into my home. It would have been nice for you to call me and talk to me in person rather than posting this. Sincerely, Maryann Potter
