I thought they had messed up and gave us a chocolate cheesecake but in fact this is our order-- a bit burnt. Very disappointed as they said they are all like that and no I couldn't switch out for a less "overcooked " one. blueberries with stems--i hope washed first before they were thrown on. This place is over rated and overpriced. I had doubts when I walked into the sparse and dingy store but was pressed for time. Never again.

To say I am disappointed in the $70 Birthday cake my husband purchased is an understatement…read more He ordered a lemon cake with raspberry preserves with buttercream icing. What we received was a dry cake with hardly any flavor. My Mother thought it was just a yellow cake, she couldn't even taste the lemon. And she is an experienced baker. She made our lemon and raspberry wedding cake, that my husband was trying to recreate. The raspberry "preserves" were gelatinous, like pie filling from a can. Preserves should be a jam like consistency, only with larger fruit pieces. But sadly, this was goopy and artificial tasting. And the buttercream was greasy, not creamy, like it was made from Crisco shortening (not butter), sugar and water. It didn't even have any flavor (maybe they forgot to put vanilla extract in it?) Even the construction of the cake was poor. They clearly didn't put enough batter in the pans. Normally you shave the rounded top off to make it flat. This bakery just added tons of icing in an attempt to make up for the rounded edges. Which also meant there were barely any raspberry "preserves" in between the layers. And last but not least. When my husband special ordered the cake (in person) he asked for white sprinkles. When he arrived to pick up the cake, it wasn't ready. And they told him they didn't have white sprinkles. And offered to cover the entire cake in tiny rock hard pearls, that are typically only used sparingly for decorative purposes. Because they are so hard, many decorators recommend removing them before eating! My Dad bit into it and said it was like trying to eat buck shot. My Father has never met a cake or sweet he didn't like, until now. He didn't want another piece during his entire visit. My mother and I didn't even finish our first piece. To charge $70 for this 8" cake was just criminal. I would have returned it if I could.

We had no idea that it would be the best carrot cake we had ever tasted. We CANNOT wait until next Valentine's Day so that we can pull our top layer from the freezer and eat it!! But, that wasn't even the best part ... the cake was the most beautiful wedding cake I had ever seen. She brought all of the elements of the wedding, its colors, and even my wedding dress into the design. It was white, but with a fine lace background hand designed to match my all-lace dress, she worked the same dark red roses into the cake design, and it was just the perfect size ... not too large and boxy, and not too small so that we needed a back up cake. She knew exactly what size to bake to match the number attending the reception. Maxine is a true professional. She made the Wedding Cake the Star of our Pebble Beach wedding and reception!

I have never ordered a custom cake before and wanted to do something special my son's birthday…read moreparticularly this year. It was a week before his birthday and i tried calling a few places but Maxine was the one that called me back right away and was able to do the cake in such a short notice. The cake is so cute and I'm very satisfied with it. Her cakes are never frozen and she has mastered her buttercream and I normally are not to fond of buttercream. The buttercream is a bit too sweet and thick for my taste but the chocolate cake is so moist and delicious. Maxine was both pleasant over the phone and in person. She informed me right away that she is licensed and gets inspected which right away I was sold. I drove about 45 mins to an hour to Maxine's home but it was worth it. She accepts payment in cash or checks and will give you a receipt for proof of purchase. I will definitely be ordering from Maxine for all my future upcoming family's birthday. Thank you Maxine!

On day of pick up I attempted to pay with card and was told they only accepted check/cash. I looked around and there are no signs that state they are "cash only" and they have Visa/Mastercard etc signs posted all over the store (register and door). She began blaming me stating that she had told me when I ordered, however the only talk about payment we had was that I would pay day of. I asked what time they closed (thinking maybe I can go to the bank and come back) and was told within the next hour but I could go to the ATM across the street (which charges) to pull out money. If you only accept cash/check you should remove all CC signs and post a sign that states cash only! Never doing business with them again.

Now I'm buying this exact cake for my son and we absolutely love it. I've introduced so many people to this bakery. Everyone has loved it ranging from corporate parties to small family gatherings. Perfect example of don't judge a book by its cover. The bakery has not had a remodel in decades but the owner is so sweet and she will always make the cakes with love! I really hope she has someone that knows her recipe because I don't know what I'll do without this cake! And I'm a chocolate lover so for me to like anything else is RARE.
