  Cakes by Marida was one of my favorite experiences about wedding planning. I bake as a hobby and it truly is one of my passions therefore having both a delicious and beautiful cake for our wedding day was VERY important to me. I emailed Donna for an inquiry and she responded almost immediately. We then scheduled a tasting and I went to the tasting with my sister in law (my bridesmaid) who also loves sweets and we got to taste many of the cake flavors and her AMAZING/ONE OF A KIND strawberry buttercream. After the tasting, I decided immediately that I wanted Donna to bake our wedding cake, the tasting was that delicious! I decided for the All Chocolate cake and Vanilla with Strawberry Buttercream Cake, I loved the fact she made a two tier cake but there was plenty of sheet cake for the rest of our wedding guests. Donna was very nice through the whole process, she even allowed me to mail our cake topper straight to her house from the store I got it. I showed her wedding cake pictures from pinterest so she can understand what I was looking for and when I saw our wedding cake in person I was delighted with how beautiful it looked, it was even more beautiful than the pictures I showed her! Last but not least, I cannot wait to have our one year wedding anniversary cake!
  
  Thank you Donna for such an excellent and unique experience!

  Donna's cakes are beautiful, delicious, and a great value for the price! Finding a baker who makes amazing cakes for a reasonable price is difficult, but we were so happy when we found Donna that we booked her on the spot at our tasting! We went over to Donna's for a tasting, and had several delicious flavors to choose from, and ended up doing a different flavor for each tier, plus an extra sheet cake (the "fall spice" top layer was VERY popular and great for our October wedding.) On our wedding day, the cake looked exactly as I had described/shown her, and tasted as I remembered too! Donna also had us just ship our topper to her house so she had everything all set up at the reception (and one less thing for us to remember on the day.) As a plus - since we live locally on our 1 year anniversary Donna will make us a small cake so we didn't have to freeze the top layer for a year! We highly recommend Cakes by Marida! (thank you Donna!)

  Our experience with Donna could not have been better. Our cake with as tasty as it was beautiful. We found Donna to be extremely easy to work with and accommodating. When we had questions she worked with us and offered suggestions for how we could make things happen vs. pushing an aggressive upsell. Donna is passionate about her work and wants her customers to be happy -- it's evident in the way she approaches her craft. I would 100% recommend Donna and hope there is an opportunity to work together again in the future.

  Finding a wedding cake vendor was one of the most difficult aspects of planning our wedding. We were having a winter wedding and wanted a very wintery cake. We had the idea to serve a German Chocolate cake covered with a white buttercream made to look like snowy mountains. After visiting 6 other bakeries and being disappointed by cakes that were dry, overpriced, or covered with a grainy buttercream, we were so happy to find Cakes by Marida. Donna (the baker) made us a special tasting of german chocolate cake, along with about six other flavors. All of the cakes were moist and flavorful. Her buttercream was a true standout, light and not overly sweet. She was friendly and excited to try the design idea we had brought from pinterest, and she was also happy to provide allergy-friendly cupcakes for our dairy and nut-free guests. Finally, she was one of the most reasonably priced bakers we visited. We received so many compliments on the cake, with many of our guests going back for seconds and even thirds. And my husband and I loved the cake so much, we actually ate the leftovers for breakfast the next morning. Highly recommended!

  Working with Donna was awesome! We got married in November and Donna made a three tier cake and all three layers were different flavors. She was so easy to work with and extremely flexible. At her cake tasting she had almost evert popular flavor available to try. There was one flavor combination my now husband and I really wanted to try but didn't get to so she offered to make us half a dozen cupcakes! Her cakes are delicious and fresh. We had so many compliments from our guests on how great our cake tasted! We went with her lemon with white chocolate raspberry filling, white with strawberry filling and the last tier was something she and I came up with which was so nice that she was open to trying to make something other than what was on her signature list. Donna was always responsive, let us ship our cake topper directly to her and will make us a complimentary one year anniversary cake! We can't wait. Donna truly emobdies professionalism, is so accommodating, skilled, and truly makes an amazing wedding cake and design! Our cake was stunning! We loved working with her and looking forward to our one year anniversary so we can experience her cake baking again!

  WE loved our wedding cake made by Donna!! The cake tasting was amazing and she was very accommodating! We told her a general idea of what we wanted our cake to look like but she listened to what our entire wedding theme would be and made the most beautiful and absolutely delicious cake! I can't lie, we're still enjoying the last pieces a week after our wedding!

  I can't say enough about Donna Lovett, the owner. She was so helpful through email and did an amazing job! She is licensed to bake out of her home and it was by far the best tasting we went to. She helped us figure out how to save money! We ended up doing a two tiered cake and a groom's sheet cake. It fed 100 people and we had leftovers. The cake was not only beautiful, but so yummy! I can't wait for our one year anniversary, so we can get our fresh cake topper.

  If you are looking for the perfect wedding cake, you can stop looking here! Cakes by Marida is where you will find the cake of your dreams. Every beautiful cake is individually made to the customer's wants and needs. Donna, the owner, is unbelievably kind and will work with you to build your dream cake. Every flavor that we tasted was simply delicious. I loved the buttercream frosting! For no extra cost, we were able to pick 3 flavors for our cake, instead of just the one. When I arrived at my wedding venue, our breath taking white tiered dream cake with cascading flowers was set up just waiting to be cut, it was kind of magical! Thank you Donna, for making our entire wedding cake experience perfect!

  Donna was amazing! All the flavors we tried at the tasting were delicious but we had to settle on two (a two tiered cake and a sheet cake). Our cake was beautiful and exactly what I'd envisioned. Thank you so much!

  Donna was a pleasure to work with. After trying a few different places, I immediately knew I wanted to have Donna make my wedding cake after our cake tasting appointment. She was very accommodating and worked with me to create exactly what I had in mind. We had a two-tier cake, the top tier was lemon cake with white chocolate mousse with a thin layer of raspberry filling and the bottom tier was white cake with the same filling. The cake was beautiful, more than I had envisioned, and it was delicious. I really enjoyed working with Donna and I am looking forward to getting a free cake at our anniversary!

  Donna was wonderful to work with and she went above and beyond to take on making my cake three weeks before my wedding when the young lady that was going to make my cake backed out because she didn't think she would be able to provide a quality product! It was indeed a blessing in disguise! Donna's cake and cupcakes were AMAZING!! The gluten free cupcakes were super delicious and unlike any gluten free cupcake I had ever tried to include the baker that I was originally going to use. The design was exactly what I was looking for and it was beautiful! It was beach themed with real starfishI on the cake and candy starfish on the cupcakes. All of the flavored were wonderful and it was hard to choose! I highly recommend Cakes by Marida and I will use them again for other cakes!

  When searching for our cake, it was important to find a Baker who creates gluten free options (our Best Man has celiacs disease). We lucked out and found Donna, who struggles with the same intolerance. She meet with us and went over all of our options (there were lots of options). She didn't add restrictions/additional charges for different fillings or flavors we wanted. She showed us sample cakes and talked with us in great length about our taste and ideas. We went with a traditional three tiered cake. But, she offers an economically small tiered cake for show and sheet cakes as a cost effective alternative. Her pricing is so reasonable that anyone could afford their dream cake though. On the day of, she delivered the cake on time without a hiccup. It was beautiful, everything we had hoped it would be! And it was super delicious. Donna was an absolute pleasure to work with and she made the process very special to both my husband and I. We will certainly be using her for future events. Thanks a bunch!

  We had a great experience with Donna at Cakes by Marida. She responded to our initial email even though she was on vacation and was able to set up a cake tasting within a few weeks. We only needed to meet with Donna once, and after only one meeting she knew exactly what we were looking for: how we wanted the cake to look, how much we needed, and the flavors we wanted. Her prices are reasonable, and her cakes taste amazing. Donna even helped us arrange gluten free cupcakes for two of our guests with Celiacs disease! Donna easily included a plaid ribbon on our cake (as our wedding theme was Christmas plaid) and we received a lot of compliments on the taste and beauty of the cake. She was easy to work with and I highly recommend her!

  Donna is absolutely amazing! On top of being extremely pleasant to work with, her cakes are delicious!! She was able to create a masterpiece out of the parts and pieces of ideas I had for the cake design, and was always quick to respond when I had a suggestion or a question. I would definitely recommend Cakes by Marida to anyone looking for excellent quality cake and exceptional service!!

  First off, Donna is awesome when it comes to being available and flexible with everything! She did an amazing job with our cake and cupcakes which were gluten free and sooooooo good!!! I cannot imagine going with anyone else for our special day. We cannot wait till our first year anniversary for another taste of our cake! :) (which she makes fresh so we don't have to eat the frozen stuff!) Go with Cakes by Marida if you want to be happy about your wedding day cake/cupcakes!!

  Cakes by Marida (aka Donna Lovett) was such a wonderful choice for our small wedding. I was very nervous about talking to vendors, but Cakes by Marida was the embodiment of warmth and professionalism. She made four small cakes for us, including a homemade version of "funfetti", and our guests raved about how yummy they all were. Thank you, Donna!

  I absolutely love Donna, the owner of Cakes by Marida. She is fantastic! I found her through my sister-in-law, who married my brother almost 10 years ago. Their cake was so beautiful, and delicious. I knew when I got married, that I would use her as well. Almost a decade later, she is still making the most awesome cakes ever! Our cake was gorgeous, with three different flavors...everyone commented on how lovely it was (we had an old fashioned 1950's style cake with lots of pink roses!), and tasty. We were eating it for days afterwards, and what was left, we put in the freezer. It froze so nicely, and thawed great (we ate it already)! I couldn't say better things about her, and how happy we were. The cake was one of my favorite things about my wedding. Thank you Cakes by Marida!!!

  We highly recommend Donna/Cakes by Marida! After meeting with several bakers, her personality, pricing, and style were refreshingly straightforward and exactly what we were looking for. She does not do fondant icing, which was fine with us as we liked the look and taste of buttercream better anyway. The cake was beautiful, and with real flowers (from our florist, but placed by Donna) draped over the tiers. The cake itself was DELICIOUS, and we received so many compliments on the variety of flavors and how good it tasted! We are already looking forward to our anniversary cake - you can't go wrong with Cakes by Marida!

  Our wedding cake was so delicious and Donna was very personable and fun to work with. Love that she offers gluten free options and really customizes your order to you and your event. Donna even will make you a groom's cake on your one year anniversary if you are local free of charge as part of her services. Can't wait to eat her cake again!

  My husband and I chose Cakes by Marida after a relaxing and friendly tasting with Donna. She is very easy to contact and responds quickly and professionally. We ordered a two tier wedding cake that was decorated with roses. Donna was able to see my vision with the cake right away and make it a reality. In fact, it looked even better when I saw it on our wedding day! Thank you, Cakes by Marida, for making this special part of our wedding so perfect!

  Donna of Cakes by Marida was a pleasure to work with throughout our wedding planning process, and the finished product was both beautiful and delicious! The price for the quality was also excellent. The cake tasting was very helpful, and gave us a good idea of which flavors we wanted to choose. It was easy to get in touch with Donna at all times, and this was extremely reassuring, as unresponsive vendors can become an added stressor. We chose chocolate and white cake with chocolate ganache for the bottom layer, and lemon cake with raspberry and white chocolate mousse filling for the middle and top layers of our cake, and both were delicious. Thank you again, Donna!
