Wedding cake joy - full on feast for the senses!

I’ve got to say, we absolutely nailed it when we asked Maxine to be our wedding cake maker!!! She totally captured our vibe and turned it into the most brilliant cake—a true sensory delight in all the ways! With uniquely delicious flavours, textured layers, bold colours, mix-and-match tier shapes, and flashing disco lights!!! YES! Actual flashing disco lights!!

I LOVE cake (a lot!) so getting the cake right for our wedding day was important to me. Maxine rolled with our ideas with enthusiasm and skilfully consolidated them into the perfect cake concoction. I wholeheartedly recommend Maxine to anyone looking for a cake that perfectly captures their style and adds a memorable, creative spark to their celebration. Thank you, Maxine, for creating a wedding cake that was one of the highlights of our day. It was fabulously vibrant, totally tantalising and captured the spirit of our celebrations down to a T!

So good we went back for seconds!

We met Maxine at a wedding fair and she made a great impression on us as did her delicious samples. We booked her for our first (Hindu) wedding and the cake was so good we also came back a second time and booked her again for our second (CofE) wedding! Both cakes were amazing and exactly what we wanted. Maxine was on hand at all points of our journey and we couldn't of asked for better customer service from our initial planning meeting right through to delivery. We will definitely be returning for our daughter's first birthday.

Bets wedding cake ever!

Maxine was amazing at listening and understanding our brief. She was also very creative in her delivery. We had a three tier cake equivalent and each of the cakes were delicious! We could not pick between them and our guests were blown away. We loved them so much we had cake for breakfast the day after our wedding!
