It was cars themed and she captured a few scenes from radiator springs including Ramon's body shop, flos cafe, tow mater, cozy cone, and more!

She explained everything thoroughly and made sure to let us know what was edible and what to watch out for! I will definitely be ordering from her in the future!!!

This is the second time my shop has ordered a birthday cake for my staff, the first one was a carrot cake. This was a very special request of chocolate and banana. I am no professional baker by any means however, I bake and have done enough events to know that bakeries do not like to use fresh bananas because they brown easily. Royal Bakery was not scared. He provided a delicious moist chocolate cake with bananas and whipped cream, and the birthday girl was extremely pleased. when I had ordered the cake. I told him he had full creative control due to the whipped cream frosting I knew that adding any type of color would be difficult, but he came through for me as I had mentioned the birthday girl Very excited and pleased with how delicious the cake was. The whole staff was ranting and raving about how good it was this is my new go to Bakery. I have also tried some of his fresh baked cookies ,delicious very well executed and beautifully decorated. This is a very small establishment two display cases separated by his register with a couple of tables nestled inside it definitely gives independently owned and operated. Small but delicious packed with customer service place lol trust me order your cake here don't be scared to do out of the box orders as this gentleman seems classically trained with French pastry. His croissants are amazing. Overall, I can't wait to try other offerings from this establishment. Thank you so much for coming through for us Royal, deli and bakery. We will always be back.

Never again! Over a month prior to my wedding, I contacted the bakery and asked for a birthday and…read morewedding cake to be picked up at noon. I was coming from out of town so the arrangements and payment were made via phone. When I arrived to pick up the cakes at 1 (an hour late) she repeatedly kept asking if I had a receipt and I repeatedly kept telling her it was over the phone so I did not. Naturally I began to panic thinking she didn't have my order. She did nothing to asuade this until I flat out asked "Do you have them or not?". Finally she checked her documents and found the payment. She then took an extra payment from me (I was told prior this would happen so no big deal) but afterwards was told the cakes weren't ready and she would deliver them later. The ceremony was set to start in an hour. Not to mention we drove 1/2hr there on the day of our wedding just to be told our trip was pointless. No call or text telling us the cakes would be late. The cakes arrived during our ceremony so I was unable to see them prior to our guests. She had added flowers with pink trim and yellow daisies on the wedding cake. The flowers were suppose to be white. We ended up having to rip them off and use a centerpiece to fix it. The birthday cake was clearly the one she had still been working on and never finished. It was missing the entire topper I had asked for and chocolate chips were sprinkled on top instead like a last minute "gotta fill the space somehow" thought. After all this... I was never offered an apology or any type of compensation. Horrible experience!! Good luck should you choose to roll the dice.

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!
