Would Thou Like to Live Deliciously?
We had our cake tasting with Grace and we really enjoyed the pairings we tried. We had a weirdly specific request for a cake frosted like a Black and White Cookie. We went with a small three tiered Vanilla funfetti cake, with espresso filling, and buttercream frosting (half vanilla half chocolate). It was SO. GOOD. Lots of guests were complimenting how great it was. McLains also provides a free 1 year anniversary cake so we got to enjoy our leftover cake.

Perfect Cake and Seamless Experience with McLain's Bakery
We ordered a two-tiered almond cake with strawberry filling and a beautiful bark design from McLain’s Bakery for our wedding, and it was absolutely perfect! The cake was not only stunning to look at but tasted amazing—our guests couldn’t stop raving about it.
The tasting experience was also fantastic. From the moment we walked into McLain’s, we felt welcomed and well taken care of. They took the time to understand our vision and offered great suggestions that made our cake even more special. The communication throughout the process was seamless; they kept us informed and were always quick to respond to any questions we had.
McLain’s Bakery truly exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t have been happier with the final result. If you’re looking for a bakery that delivers on both taste and design, McLain’s is the place to go!

Amazing experience!
We had an amazing experience with McLain's. Planning a wedding out of state can be difficult, but they were so accommodating. Everything from the cake tasting to reception was effortless. We wanted mini cheesecakes in addition to a traditional wedding cake and they made it happen. The cake was delicious and people could not get enough of it. Would choose McLain's again in a heartbeat!!

Wonderful Cake!
My wife and I had our wedding at the end of May 2021 with McLain’s Bakery providing cupcakes and cake at the reception. We had a tall 6” passionfruit cake with buttercream frosting to cut and share with family while also providing three different mini-cupcake options for guests. We already loved McLain’s other bakery products, so it was no surprise that their cupcakes and cake were beautiful and delicious. We initially became intrerested during the early days of COVID, so we ended up doing a take-home tasting, but it was super fun. We went back for our in-person consultation later and felt so at-ease to have such a beloved local establishment handle one of the most iconic pieces of the wedding. The cakes were delivered in a timely manner and the quality was beyond reproach. Another perk is that you get a free anniversary cake after your first year; no more eating freezer-burned cake! I would highly recommend McLain’s for any occasion.

Cake for all!
McLain's has got it going on! They were extremely responsive when inquiring about their cakes and the tasting was seamless. When the day arrived, the cake was delicious, coming from someone who doesn't love cake! The team decorated it exactly how I envisioned which was a bonus. I HIGHLY recommend McLain's to all brides.

Amazing baker to go with
Their prices are stunningly low... which made me nervous about the quality. At the free tasting I tried the vanilla, almond, pumpkin, and red velvet. I loved them ALL. I ended up choosing the red velvet which I personally prefer with a cream cheese frosting (which I let the lady know) and they immediately offered me a sample of the cream cheese frosting (also delicious). They were extremely patient with me tasting and choosing and were flexible to ensure I got the exact cake I wanted. Couldn't be more pleased with this baker.
