    Delicious cake

    We are so happy we chose The Cake Faerie for our wedding cake. Many of our guests commented on how good the cake was, which is not often heard at weddings. The cake truly was delicious and beautiful, for a much better price than nearby fancy bakeries. Michelle was very nice and easy to work with, and was accommodating to a last minute change in our order. Would highly recommend her for your wedding cake!

    The Cake Faerie's reply:

    Thank you so 'Faerie' much for the lovely review and allowing me to be part of your big day!! The entire place was beautiful and glowing as you were!

    10/10! YUM!

    We hired Michelle for our 7/10/22 wedding, and we are so glad we did. We did a small 1 tier cake for us to cut during the reception and then did cupcakes for our guests. We had 5 different flavors, and everyone LOVED them. Michelle was so flexible with us choosing different combinations and everything turned our beautifully and tasted delicious.

    Rocks My Socks!

    I found Michelle, The Cake Faerie by chance online, and I’m so thankful that I did - she had me at “I love Cookie Monster Cakes,” when I reached out with what I had wanted to do.

    Every single interaction with Michelle was beyond fantabulous, and I’m kind of going to miss our communications back and forth.

    The cakes were amazingly delicious, and the buttercream icing, literally had me drooling. A+++ on deliciousness!

    And, as y’all can see from the attached photos, the cake and cupcakes were visually astounding!! I was just over the moon! Everyone at the party, literally gasped when I pulled the cake out of the box.

    I promise you, you will be so happy with your decision to book The Cake Faerie. I found my cake person for life, and I can’t wait to make up an excuse to get my next cake.

    Beautiful and delicious!

    Michelle created the most beautiful little cake for us, and helped us come up with some fantastic cupcake flavors! She was super communicative throughout the design process, and we received so many compliments on how delicious the cake and cupcakes were.

    Amazing cake!

    Engaged 2/19/18 | Wedding 9/21/19
    Reception: Gambrills, MD | Guests: 118

    After getting engaged, I started truly wedding planning Summer 2018. My husband and I were stationed in Germany. I was searching high and low for a reputable baker in the area with reasonable prices and available on a very popular wedding date! My best friend had actually used Michelle for her own wedding.

    Michelle was so sweet and easy to get along with. She was great communicating with me despite the 6 hour time difference. When I came home in May she set up a great tasting for us and really explained all the different flavors and frostings. She gave us full range of different variety’s of flavors we could use. The contract was easy to read and straight forward.

    We opted into a 4-tiered cake. 2 cakes were lemon with a raspberry/lemon curd filling and 2 cakes were almond/amaretto flavored with an almond brittle filling. The cake looked great from my inspiration picture, she truly is an artist who loves what she does. I highly recommend Michelle to any brides!!!

    Perfect cake!

    We were very excited for us to experience the wedding cake tasting process and we were not let down with Michelle. She provided tasty samples, even during the process of changing buildings, and gave us all of the options we had to create the perfect combination of filling, cake, and icing. The presentation of the cake was amazing and so was working with Michelle!

    Beautiful & Delicious!

    Our wedding cake was perfect! It was beautiful but also delicious, and Michelle is awesome. We had a simple design with fresh flowers and different flavors for each tier. And we could not have been happier!

    Michelle made the most beautiful cake for our wedding!! It was just how we envisioned it, and it was also delicious. At our tasting she did a wonderful job explaining our options and helping us decide what would work best for our day. I can't recommend her enough!! She does an amazing job!

    Michelle the Cake Faerie is phenomenal. For nearly a decade, my mom owned a bakery so I've known that one day, I would be very particular with my wedding cake, especially how it tasted. My husband and I sampled one other bakery, whose flavors were not as good and whose price was more than double that from Fiona's. We loved Michelle herself, and her frosting and cake flavors were so much better. And her price was excellent! Michelle even took a phone call from my mom who had a whole bunch of questions before we even met! Embarrassing but thoughtful. Michelle didn't seem to mind it. Our wedding cake for 130 people was absolutely stunning. I showed her a picture of what we wanted and she did it without a hitch! She took the time to review the details with us, confirm the colors, offer alternatives, and provide us with our dream cake. The cream cheese frosting (my favorite - she has the BEST) was SO good and our fresh fruit was truly FRESH. The vanilla cake was moist and the flavors were exceptional. Thank you Cake Faerie! PS: I love that you signed our guest book!!!!

    We loved working with Michelle! We showed up unannounced one day and Michelle spent the time to talk to us even though it was her day off. We loved all of the cakes that we tasted- it was so hard to decide what we wanted. We ended up doing a 4-tier cake alternating between red velvet and vanilla almond- delicious! Our guests raved to us on our wedding day and told us that it was the best wedding cake they had ever had! We can't wait to eat our cake on our one year anniversary. Thank you Michelle!!

    Delicious!!! I loved working with Michelle and we were extremely happy with our wedding cake! My husband and I have Celiac Disease and cannot have any gluten, but Michelle was super accommodating. When we had our tasting made she all of the options were gluten free- we were able to try vanilla and chocolate cake with a variety of fillings. She worked within our budget and clearly explained all of our options with sheet cakes, tiers, etc. In the end, the cake was beautifully designed and absolutely delicious. Michelle was very reliable and arrived at the venue on time (she transported it to the Eastern Shore for us). We ended up getting a sheet cake that was chocolate with chocolate filling, and a tiered cake with vanilla and a cream cheese and raspberry filling. The top tier was gluten free, and the rest of the cake was regular. We heard a lot of great things about the cake, and we were in love with our gluten free cake. I would highly recommend using Fiona’s Cakes, you won’t be disappointed!

    I've never been the biggest fan of wedding cake (so dry!), so I didn't want to spend a ton of our wedding budget on it. Half the people at the reception never end up eating it. When I had another vendor fall through, I found Fiona's by the Cake Faerie. I loved my first conversation with Michelle on the phone. I voiced how people never eat the cake. And she stated, well, they've never had MY cake. I promise you it will all be gone. And she was absolutely right. People raved about her cake all night and every last piece was gone. It was delicious! Not dry, tons of flavor. We had the lemon with raspberry filling. I still think about how delicious it was. She worked with my budget and produced a beautiful cutting cake with simple details and it was some of the yummiest cake I've ever had. I recommend her services to anyone wanted great cake!

    Michelle was amazing and her cakes are absolutely incredible! So delicious and so beautiful! Her prices were much more affordable than I expected, and she was flexible with our shifting guest numbers and offered her amazing creative genius when we couldn't decide what kind of specifics we wanted for the cake decoration. I've already had her make a birthday cake for my new husband, too, and it was fabulous!

    Michelle made the cake for our daughter's wedding last weekend. It was absolutely delicious! Michelle was very patient as we decided on the flavor, fillings and decorating as well as gave her professional opinion. We would highly recommend Fiona's Cakes by Michelle.

    Michelle (The Cake Faerie) was amazing! She made the most beautiful cake for our wedding that was absolutely what we wanted and then some. Each tier was a different flavor (which is wonderful since we had some guests who loved chocolate and then some who didn't!) and it was just beautiful and executed perfectly. We had a private tasting first to see which flavors and icings we wanted. They even delivered it on the day of our wedding which was Christmas Eve and decorated it with the rosemary and raspberries with me right next to it so she could make sure it was exactly what we wanted. We could not be happier with how it turned out.

    Fiona made the cake I had been dreaming of for our wedding. Delicious and gorgeous. Four tiers, buttercream frosting. Our tasting/meeting with Fiona was great. She has endless pictures of all of the amazing wedding cakes she has created over the years, which made it very easy for us to show her what we wanted. Not only that, but it gave us great confidence knowing that she has made our style of cake plenty of times. The variety in flavor choices is great, although narrowing them down was very difficult because we loved them all. We are still eating our left over cake. I have a feeling it may not even make it to the freezer.

    Fiona created the cake for our Daughter's wedding on 4/13/13. The cake was so beautifully presented, and the taste was delicious! Our guests raved that they had never had wedding cake that tasted so delicious. Fiona is an absolute joy to work with. We highly recommend her for your Wedding, or any affair!

    Michelle Lowman, the new owner of Fiona's Cakes provided cupcakes and a small cutting cake for my wedding. She provided several cupcakes for me to take home and try at my leisure to decide on a flavor. We worked together on the look, colors, and presentation of the cupcakes through photos. She made sure the cake would accommodate the topper I had. She had some curve balls thrown at her at the last minute by the venue and caterer, but she handled them all gracefully. And she was very affordable!

    Fiona made the most amazing cake for our wedding! I wish I could post pictures of it!
    We did a peak-a-boo cake, peanut butter chocolate on the top with a peanut butter filling and american buttercream icing, and the lower 2 tiers were this amazing almond and amaretto cake that just melts in your mouth! My after party killed all of it, so I'll just have to get another one to celebrate our anniversary!
    Thanks Fiona!!!
