    Marianne is the BEST!

    Marianne was my first stop when it came to scheduling my cake tasting and hunting for someone to make the perfect cake for my wedding and there was truly no need for my fiance and I to search for anyone else. Believe me when I say that Marianne is one of the sweetest people that I've met. Not only are her cakes super delicious, but she was also extremely welcoming, very attentive, and extremely patient. My wedding was scheduled for June 20th and was postponed due to COVID but, when I contacted Marianne to inform her of the postponement she was very empathetic and understanding. I reached out to her with the hopes of having a cake made for my fiances birthday and she was more than willing to do so. I LOVE Marianne she will definitely be my forever baker!

    Last Minute Wedding Cake

    Due to Covid - 19, my daughter's wedding plans were changed, and we at very last minute had to make alternative plans. After researching, I found Mare's Custom Cakes (who was highly rated), and decided to try giving her a call re a VERY last minute request for a wedding cake. Marianne was a godsend. She made a beautiful, and very delicious strawberry cake with Bavarian cream. The bride and groom absolutely loved everything about it. I highly recommend Mare's Custom Cakes for any of your upcoming events.

    Thank you so much! I am so glad I could make it for their wedding day!

    Amazingly beautiful cake. That was Yummo.

    Mares custom cakes are amazing. Our cake was so perfect to look at but our guests are still talking about how great it tasted to this day. We also ordered a cake for 120 people that turned into 175 guests just before the wedding. Marianne was calm cool and collected and handled the last minute problem without a problem. I love her!!!

    Still swooning over Nightmare before Christmas wedding cake

    When we first met Mare and told her our idea, well, she was the first and only person to tell us that she could execute the idea we wanted--and it wasn't exactly your run of the mill, traditional white cake. While the front side may look it, the surprise was on the back side. While in the picture the pop figures sort of hide her attention to detail, Mare got everything right from the curled mountain to the moon and the pumpkins. Her clean clean fondant work, edible lace, and piping skills truly show her care and attention to detail. She is easy to work with, has a variety of cake flavors, and the best part, her cakes are delicious. I am used to cakes looking wonderful and yet leaving something to be desired on the taste buds but wow, the almond flavored cake with the amaretto filling, to die for! I only got to see her for a moment when she arrived, but she set up the cake easier and let us borrow her love sign. The moment I saw the cake, I nearly cried; everything had been going so smoothly and perfectly and seeing that cake in all its glory was like the cherry on top. Mare's Custom Cakes was the perfect choice for us; we will remember this part of our wedding for a lifetime.

    Thank you!!! It was my pleasure and honor to make your wedding cake!!
    Mare.

    Say “yes” to Mare’s Custom Cakes

    Mare is our family’s go to baker. Whether it’s a wedding, anniversary, birthday, baby shower, or a just because cake, she goes above and beyond providing the most spectacular and delicious cakes. Every flavor and filling she offers is a winner. She recently backed a three tier wedding cake with each tier a different flavor and different filling and I still can’t choose which was my favorite. She is professional, organized, and will make your special day all the more special with CAKE!!! I highly recommend Mare’s Custom Cakes.

    Gorgeous wedding cake!!

    It was so nice working with Marianne. She was so sweet and accommodating from the start. I didn't know exactly what design I wanted for our wedding cake because there were a few we liked. But she was very open and honest what each one required and stuck with our budget!! Fast forward the day of our wedding and I was soooooo happy to see the amazing cake she made for our wedding. It was so BEAUTIFUL!!! Better than I had imagined it would look like and it tasted so delicious!! I would highly recommend her for your wedding cake, don't look anywhere else!! You won't regret it!

    I will never get my cake from anyone else! Mares custom cakes are fantastic! She puts so much love into each cake. They taste amazing and look almost too good to eat! Marianne has done my baby shower cake, my great grandmas 90th, my daughter 1st birthday and now my wedding and grooms cake! I am so glad I’ve found her!

    We are beyond satisfied with our wedding cake! It was beautifully decorated and delicious. Mare was an absolute joy to work with and we cannot say enough positive things about her and her business. All our guests commented about how elegant the cake looked, how it fit our theme/ colors, and how great it tasted.

    Mare was a delight to work with. I contacted her and within days I was having a cake tasting with my fiancé and his parents. She has every flavor you can possibly think of and it open to any design you like. A month before the wedding I reached out to her because I wanted to change the design of the cake. (I know, total bride move) I had this vision of transforming the back of the cake into a surprise grooms cake for my soon to husband. She worked with me and my crazy idea with ease. She got it done and everyone loved our wedding cake! 6/9/18 Murrieta, Ca.

    All 3 layers were beautifully done, decorations were gorgeous, and each cake tasted amazing. Had 3 flavors and each had a different icing in the middle. It was very yummy.. I would recommend her to anyone.

    Marianne was incredible from start to finish! The cake tasting was so fun, and the cake is probably the best cake I’ve had in my life. Throughout the process she texted us confirming details and worked with us when we decided we wanted to tweak which colors went where. And on the day of the wedding, it’s like I showed up and it was magically perfectly set up. All our guests raved about it, and it was the PERFECT wedding cake for us. Thank you Marianne!

    Mare's Custom Cakes's reply:

    Thank you Mary for the beautiful picture of you two and the cake! It was a pleasure to make and work with you! I'm glad you loved it!
    The flowers provided by your florist were amazing! ♡♡This is my favorite cake of 2018 so far! ♡♡

    Mare's Custom Cakes did an amazing job on our wedding cake and cake pops for our dessert bar at our wedding reception. Her attention to detail and time spent with tastings and going over all the possible options was so greatly appreciated. Her work is amazing and not only looks great, but is the most delicious cake you will ever taste.

    Mare's cakes are simoly the best. For whatever occasion needed, Mare comes through with flying colors. Most recently she designed an mama and baby elephant for my daughter's baby shower. When guests seek you out to let you know how delicious a cake was, you know it's exceptional. Kudos to Mare for talent, ingenuity and grace!
