Ironically Marsha was recommended to us by Kim Epps a woman who later ran off with a $1,000.00 of our money, a few other poor couples money and I hear from a good source the same caterer used by the disgruntle bride who gave the review below; you can goggle all the above mentioned information.
But under NO circumstance should you let this be a reflection of Marsha, her product or how she runs her business.
Marsha did a tasting with us on a less than 24 hour request in Oct 2008, and we too fell in love with Marsha's signature cake; so much that we ordered a cake and had it shipped to the DC area (where we live), within a month of returning home.
We had a 2nd tasting July 2009, because we wanted different flavor combos on each layer and wanted to samples them before serving it to our guests. As crazy as some of the combos were they tasted great, later we figured it out, anything Marsha make is great...
...so great my sister ordered the "Chocolate Dipped Strawberry" cake for my dinner rehearsal and we had the same for our wedding cake, alternating in dark & white chocolate ganash with white & dark chocolate dipped strawberries. (Marsha experimented with the white chocolate ganash for the 1st time, just for us)
We also had Marsha make us an extra "Anniversary Cake" because we wanted to eat our top layer (key lime bliss), at our reception, in all the shuffle both cakes ended up on the top shelf of our hotel closet for over 36 hours before we found them.
Believe it or not I laughed about it, but little did I know my sweetheart of a Hubby emailed Marsha at 5am in the morning telling her of our dilemma, and Marsha replied at 6am on a Saturday, mind you, "...be a Hero and save the day; come pick-up another "Great Cake"!!! FREE OF CHARGE!!!!!
By 10am, my Hubby was on one knee, opening the box to a fresh "anniversary cake" and we're still getting calls from guests telling us how great the cake was.
Marsha's just as GREAT as her cakes.
Many, Many Thanks,
Sonya and Dru 10-1-09 wedding
I found out later, that Marsha was in the mist of pushing out 6 cakes for weddings that day.

I need to start by saying, I am a chocaholic. There was never a consideration of any other cake for our wedding. Until....the Key Lime Bliss cake came along. This cake is amazing and so different. Marsha was and her assistant were wonderful to work with. Not only was the cake so delicious, it was beautifully decorated. Wish we lived closer to the OBX so we could have it more frequently.

Marsha was so easy to work with and created a beautiful cake for our wedding. If you are anywhere near the outer banks i highly recommend Great Cakes! Especially their specialty cake :o)

Marsha from Great Cakes of the OBX did a fabulous job on our wedding cake! We met with her back in December in her delicious icing filled kitchen. She served us several types of cake, but our favorite by far was her signature Key Lime Bliss. It was so moist and delicious and was unlike anything you could find anywhere else. The key lime flavor was perfect for our beach themed wedding! She also elegantly decorated the cake with adirondack chairs, a beach umbrella, flip flops, and edible sand. There is no limit to her creativity and what she can do! She is very organized and quick to respond to all calls and e-mails. The cake was little pricey (as all wedding cakes are), but well worth the cost. Everyone loved the unique flavor and the cute design. Thanks so much Marsha!

The cake that I received from Great Cakes of the outer banks was a complete disaster. The cake did not have the proper support internally, instead a using disposable locking columns & plates, Marsha used a few 1/4" doll rods.
This lack of support caused the bottom tier to slide. My caterer did the best she could to put the poorly constructed cake back together.
After the wedding I called Marsha, she called me back a few days later. She know what had happen, the cater called for help, Marsha did not assist. I asked for a refund ($350) she advised me that it was the caters fault to ask her for a refund. Funny she recommended Great Cakes.
I planned my wedding from the other side of the country all by email. All of my vendors, with the exception of great cakes, were wonderful...more then I expected.

We got the Key Lime Bliss, and let me tell you it was wonderful. I don't think that there was a single person that did not love the cake. We had left overs the next day and if it was possible, the cake was even better. I highly recommend the Key Lime Bliss!!

We highly recommend the signature cake of the Great Cakes which is the Key Lime Bliss Cake. It was a delicious ending to a delicious meal at the beach. The cake was very easy to order from the internet, and Marsha was very responsive to email communication and changes to the cake quite close to the wedding. Very beautiful, and tasty.

They were absolutely wonderful. While I was getting ready they delivered the cake and it was so beautiful. The women who I corresponded with was always prompt with her emails and gave me all the information I need. I would go through them for any function or event.
