We had the pleasure of providing music for a wedding at the Four Seasons and I literally gasped at the sight of the gorgeous cake! We heard all night how amazing it tasted as well, so we tip our hats to the pastry chef artists! We see a ton of wedding cakes and theirs was truly stunning!

Delicious Cake and Masterful Wedding Cake Artist

We were blown away by the flavors of our cake and the execution by Zara. She is absolutely wonderful to work with and a delightful partner. We loved her flavors and the cake was delicious! No hard fondant and the cake was perfectly balanced and not too sweet.

Everyone at our wedding raved about the beautiful design, the colors, and most of all, the flavors. We had a destination wedding so unfortunately, we couldn't take it home with us but we savored every bite!

Zara is kind, accommodating, so talented, and made the process so easy. We're grateful to have found such an amazing partner for our wedding. She is a treasure and we would choose her a hundred times over!

Amazing and Delicious!

We got our wedding cake from Maggie’s Cakes, and it was absolutely amazing! Our wedding was a small, close family, occasion. Due to that, we wanted the cake to just be between us. Zara helped pick out the perfect size cake, and she also helped us choose a great flavor combination at a tasting. You cannot go wrong working with Maggie’s Cakes, and if we ever have an event in the future they will certainly be hearing back from us! 11/10!

Amazing Work!

Zara is wonderful to work with and her cakes and cookies are delicious!! Zara made my wedding cake in Santa Fe and a batch of Mexican Wedding Cookies that I used in welcome bags for my guests. Everything was delicious and so beautiful. I highly recommend Zara and Maggie's Cakes for your wedding!

We LOVED Zara + Maggie's Cakes!! :)

We were incredibly lucky to have Zara of Maggie's Cakes create our wedding cake--what a masterpiece!! We started off with a fun afternoon cake tasting at Zara's studio. She was hospitable, enjoyable company, and a pleasure to work with. I had a specific vision in mind for our 5-tier cake and Zara immediately understood and nailed it perfectly! Zara was also very responsive with all questions and requests I had with the cake along the way. A++

Besides being absolutely gorgeous, the cake itself was also delicious--very many compliments from family & friends. Thank you Zara for doing such a fabulous job on our wedding cake--your skills are extraordinary and we were so fortunate to be your clients!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND:) :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
