We loved our cake from Carmela! We had fallen in love with one cake that was done with fondant, but Carmela is exclusively buttercream. Fortunately we picked a relatively simple design to work with, so she was able to emulate the image we liked, but make ours taste even better! (Fondant cakes can look pretty...but you're definitely sacrificing the taste.) My ONLY quasi-negative remark (and I'm still giving a 5-star because this could be my venue's fault for cutting too small) was that I think we had too much cake. We went home with the top TWO layers of our cake!

Delicious Cake, no complaints.

Our cake from Macri's was, hands-down, the most delicious cake I've ever tasted. Five years after my wedding, people still comment on how good the cake was. The bakery was wonderful in working with us to incorporate family tartan ribbon. Working with Macri's was such a great experience that we decided to have a cake made there again for our son's baptism at the Basilica. Once again, the service and cake were spectacular. Delicious and beautiful, with tons of compliments. I wish I lived closer so that I could get Macri's cakes for every occasion!!!

Carmela Macri of Macri's Bakery beautifully created a gorgeous wedding cake, unique Notre Dame themed groom's cake, and a delicious variety of pastries for my son's wedding. Everything was fresh, and tasted as wonderful, as it looked! It was a pleasure working with Carmela. She was very patient, understanding, and kind and gave us excellent suggestions. The groom's cake was a delightful surprise for my son, who is a Notre Dame grad and a lifelong fan, and for the many ND alumni and fans who attended the wedding. Many photos were taken of that very special groom's cake!

Our wedding cake was absolutely stunning! It was a highlight for everyone who came. We loved working with Carmela. She was very patient and kind.

Best bakery in South Bend. Our cake looked and tasted amazing. Highly recommend.

Our wedding cake was both gorgeous and delicious! Carmella was a delight to work with. Macri's cakes are worth every penny because guests find them to be so scrumptious they want seconds and because the cakes are pieces of art in themselves!

Not only was our cake beautiful and exactly what we wanted, it was the best cake we have ever tasted! Our guests raved about how good our cake was, and from now on we only buy cakes from Macri's! We had a large cake - 6 tier for over 400 guests and our expereience was wonderful and exactly what we hoped for! I would recommend anyone in the area to use this bakery - not only do you get what you want, but the staff are very nice and easy to work with. We shopped around and found some places could be very rude and not someone we wanted to be a part of our special day.
Go with Macri's and you won't be sorry!

The cake was absolutly delicious! We had our main cake as white with the buttercream filling, then we had sheet cakes in the kitchen we went with a sheet of white with raspberry filling, a sheet of white with strawberry filling, and a sheet of chocolate with buttercream filling. Everyone is still talking about how great our cake was and how they have never tasted cake that good!
The only downfall I had was since we had booked them so early (at least 6 months before the wedding) I hadn't talked to them since then, and it was down to less than a week till the wedding and no one had tried to contact me yet so I called them and talked about how I hadn't finalized my final decisions on the cake. It made me a little worried being so soon, but Carmela called me early that week and finished going over everything with me.
Everything ended up turning out WAY better than I even expected!

Macri's did a wonderful job baking our wedding cake. We wanted to incorporate a variety of designs we'd seen in various wedding cake magazines, and they were great about pulling together all the designs to personalize our own cake. They were happy to let us use our own wedding topper, and they delivered the cake to the reception site, which made the process very simple for us.

We thought our cake tasted absolutely fantastic, and our guests agreed. I think oftentimes the cake doesn't get much attention for its actual taste, but this cake did. The buttercream frosting--one of the points which they boast--is very light and not at all overwhelming like many other frostings we tasted at other bakeries. The cake itself (we had chocolate and yellow cake) was very moist, had a smooth texture and had a very rich flavor.

We were quite impressed overall and would highly recommend this bakery to anyone else getting married in the South Bend area.
