Delicious Cake

We were delighted the Elenor was able to make our cake for our wedding. It was delicious and went down a treat. Good value for money too which is a bonus. Thanks again!

Mrs Maria Timineri

I choose this bakery to provide a wedding cake for my son.
I had guests with food intolerance and requested a gluten free cake. The cake was decorated with fresh flowers and had cream cheese frosting.
Everyone loved the flavour of the cake.
I can't find fault with anything. 11011

Didn’t deliver the cake, stopped responding to emails

Unfortunately my experience with Maplewood Bakery was not good as Eleanor didn’t deliver the cake for our wedding as agreed despite the fact that we had already paid for it, agreed date, place and time.
At the start everything seemed to be going well, she confirmed she could make a small cake for us and was flexible with our choice of flavour. She sent me the invoice for the first payment (50%) which we paid immediately and she confirmed receipt of payment. She asked for the remaining 50% to be paid 2 weeks before the wedding, so we made the transfer as requested.
After this, Eleanor stopped responding to email and phone calls. On our wedding day the venue told me that the cake had not arrived, and they had tried to get in contact with Eleanor multiple times. She never took my calls or responded to emails from me either. We are now waiting for a full refund (which we still don’t know if we’ll get) but the disappointment of not having a cake for our wedding day cannot be remedied. She didn’t even had the courtesy to cancel, which I would have expected as a courtesy.
Unfortunately I would not recommend Maplewood Bakery due to this - I cannot even comment on the cake as we didn’t have one.

Wonderful and delicious!

We were extremely pleased with our wedding cake! Eleanor was excellent from initial contact through to the day. The flavours available were much more interesting than other bakeries we looked at and they were all delicious, it was hard to decide which three to whittle it down to! We had lots of compliments on the cake :)

Amazing cake!

I found Eleanor through hitched when looking for a cake maker for our wedding. From the start Eleanor was helpful and responsive. We went for our cake tasting and had a cup of tea and went over ideas for our cake. Eleanor was so helpful and friendly. We immediately booked Eleanor for our wedding cake. Our cake was not only stunning it also tasted amazing! The cake went very quickly on the night and everyone enjoyed the three different flavours we had! Thank you so much Eleanor!

Beautiful wedding cake

I can’t recommend Eleanor enough for her amazing cake for our wedding. We had a really nice and personal tasting at her home and she was very flexible with our choices.
From there such a great person to work with. No stress or anything to worry about. On the day of the wedding she set up the cake and it looked amazing as a centrepiece. The compliments from the guests were non stop, every flavour was amazing.
Thank you Eleanor for helping make our day so special.

Wedding Cake

Eleanor did our amazing wedding cake in August. From our first conversation she was brilliant, nothing was too much! We had a lovely cake tasting session in her home which made us confident that she was the one we wanted to make our cake. We had so many compliments on not only the look of our cake but more importantly the taste! The passionfruit, raspberry and white chocolate tier was a massive hit and a personal favourite! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Eleanor to any of our family and friends looking for an occasion cake. Thank you Eleanor!

Our perfect wedding cake!

Working with Eleanor was such a dream from start to finish. We begun the process by meeting Eleanor and trying her cakes at her home bakery. The cakes were so delicious we knew we had found our cake maker! Eleanor was very communicative throughout the whole process and created our dream wedding cake at the end of it. It was beautiful and tasted just as delicious. Thank you Eleanor!

Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Eleanor, as not only she was a pleasure to deal with but she delivered us such a delicious and lovely looking cake for the day despite the fact that we contacted her just a week before the wedding.
The flower decorations were lovely and matched our flower theme of the room, the cake finish was exactly how I wanted it and the taste was absolutely delicious (we went for a coconut taste and it was just surreal..our guests were all impressed). And I found the prices for the small cake and big cakes very great value for money!
We went for the small cake because our wedding was quite small and private but i can only imagine what an amazing job Eleanor can do for a bigger wedding, lucky guests:)
Highly highly recommend
Many thanks

Looked and tasted fantastic

Eleanor made the most amazing cake for our wedding. We got lots of compliments on how it looked and it tasted even better! She had a great variety of flavours and gave a really helpful tasting session to help us choose - we went for mocha, Victoria sponge, and white chocolate, raspberry and passionfruit. We would definitely recommend her!

Inedible Wedding Cake Binned

We ordered a cake for our wedding and unfortunately the bottom tier was stale like bread with grainy hazelnut filling. It was really embarrassing to serve that to our guests, we then end up taking it back home with us and giving it to our young nephews who also said it did not taste like cake and was hard and the whole tier went in the bin as it was not edible.

This was the most important piece of our wedding day and it was the only disappointing experience we had.

The customer service throughout had been atrociously poor, it was shocking and we had wished we had purchased a cake from a trusted baker.

We are very dissatisfied and disappointed after spending our hard earned money from what we thought was a trusted baker based on the reviews and we are still shocked to this day about our experience with Eleanor.

PLEASE if you want a cake made for a special occasion there are many other bakery’s in Windsor that you can go to! Please do not make the same mistake I made :(

Fantastic!

The cake was absolutely fantastic! It tasted so good we almost want to keep it for ourselves and not share with the guests. So glad she was able to accommodate us despite the short notice.
