Bridal Shower Cake

Ms. Marilyn was amazing to work with for my sister's bridal shower cake. She is so talented and artistic and went above and beyond my vision for a bridal shower cake. We were able to have specific requests for each layer of the cake and both layers were so delicious! It was such an amazing centerpiece that everyone was ohhing and ahhing over! Thank you so much for your talented work and artistic touch!

We hired Unique Cakes/Marilyn to bake our wedding cake for our July wedding and are so glad we did! We learned of Unique Cakes from our wedding venue and loved working with them instead of a large bakery that churns out multiple cakes a day - Marilyn only takes one wedding a weekend. She accommodated two tastings for us (an initial one with my mom and me, and a second so my fiance and I could select the cake flavors) which are held in her home, and it was such a fun, laid-back, and easy process.

Before our cake tasting, I was on the fence about having wedding cake as the only dessert option during the reception, but as soon as I tasted the cake samples, I changed my mind. We ended up ordering enough wedding cake for all of our guests and planned a wedding cake bar featuring three different flavors. I know a lot of people think of wedding cake as bland, dry, and unflavorful, but Marilyn's cake is anything but. If every wedding served Marilyn's cake, no one would have a bad word to say about wedding cake! I wish there had been more leftover cake after the wedding so we could have enjoyed it even longer.

We had a very simple cake design (four tiers with buttercream frosting, decorated with a few peonies on top) but Marilyn can absolutely accommodate theme cakes or those with intricate details or unique designs. She's an amazing cake artist. You should definitely hire Marilyn to make the wedding cake of your dreams!

I highly reccomend unique cakes. Marilyn did an absolutely wonderful job on my wedding cake and it was to die for delious! A Big hit at the wedding im still hereing people comment about it. Marilyn takes the time to make your cake perfect. When we sat down at the cake tasting and went over how i wanted the cake to look i knew it was going to look great but the day of the wedding when i finally saw the cake it was even better than i imagined. Im so thankful for such a beautiful cake it just completed my perfect day. Marilyn takes care of everything so you dont have to stress about the cake. I cant wait to get our anniversary cake!
