About

CAKES BY ME is a cottage-based one-person bakery service. Marti, a retired special education teacher, began decorating cakes in 1981 when her children were young and has astounded friends and family. The excellence of her cakes has spread by word of mouth. Calls are coming in from Cincinnati, Columbus, and even parts of Michigan and Indiana. Recently Marti received a call from Minnesota to do a cake for the founder of Kids against Hunger. Many are repeat customers who refer to her cakes as Marti Cake. No other cake will do.

Cakes of all kinds are created: Not only wedding cakes, but birthday, retirement, shower and all occasion cakes. Grooms' cakes have become a popular item. A homemade buttercream icing adorns every cake.

Marti is awesome at what she does!!! We got married a year ago and our cake was wonderful. It literally disappeared, everyone gobbled it up! We just celebrated our 1 year anniversary and ate our cake topper... It, again, was delicious! It taste exactly like it did on our wedding day! She freezer packed it perfectly. I would recommend her to anyone! We also have used her for many other events as well and her cookies as just as good and her service is great!!

Marla Erojo is a gem. We were pleased to find her, and to give her our business as she is a local baker who does all of her own work. Not only was the cake she baked for our son's wedding delicious, it was delivered and decorated perfectly. Thank you Marla for the yummy wedding cake!

When I got engaged I just knew that Marti had to be the one to do my cake! Marti has been making cakes for my family for years, and every single one of them is amazing! Marti worked with me and we met to discuss what I wanted, which I wasn't sure what I wanted actually ;) After talking with her I gave her some ideas and told her to run with it... and ran she did, the 2 tiered cake was so beautiful and unique and fit right into my wedding! The cup cakes were like little pieces of heaven... her cake is so moist and the icing is to die for! Marti came and sat up the cake and taught us the correct way to serve it and cut it for pictures. Marti was amazing and I would recommend her for any occasion you have... I know I am definently planning on using her again in the future! Thanks Marti!!!

Marti was an excellent vendor. The person that was going to do my wedding cake had a family emergency about 6 weeks before my wedding and had to back out. Marti met with me the same day I called and we had our consultation and decided everything that evening. I felt so much better! I had tasted Marti's cakes in the past, and knew our wedding cake was going to be fabulous. She delivered the cake and set it up at my reception site. She also made my Maid of Honor a birthday cake for a very reasonable price. The cake was very moist and looked beautiful. My wedding guests enjoyed the cake because we had very little left over! I will always recommend her, she did an amazing job!

Marti was able to create a cake for me with very little input. I love surprises and I wanted my cake to be one of them! She did this for me not once but twice! For my 27th birthday and my Wedding vow renewal ceremony! I told her simple yet elegant and she came through! Gluten Free can be a hard cake to bake as it is usually denser than normal cake. The cakes she provided were very comparable to regular cakes!

Our caterer was so impressed with the quality/look of our cake that he asked her to start making cakes for him!
Marti was so helpful in designing our cake. I was able to look through several books to find the design that we wanted. She was able to recreate the most expensive looking cake perfectly. The icing is absolutely wonderful and the cake was extremely moist. I would recommend for any occasion!!!

Cakes my ME was personal, flexible about set up times, and really let me chose what I wanted, even when it was non traditional. She even used my own faux leaves so that my cakes would match my other fall decorations. I was even able to get a plane cake that matched the one my pilot husband learned to fly in!
