I cannot stress enough how happy my partner and I are with our cake from Maxine! We got a spice cake with a brown sugar buttercream and apple compote and it was so delicious, had great flavor, was moist, and well balanced. We were complimented all night about how our cake is the first any of our friends ever had at a wedding and actually loved.
I made sure to actually get a piece for myself and it was the perfect end to the evening.
Maxine is also just so easy to work with and accommodating and I cannot stress enough how happy we are with our experience! -

Maxine baked our wedding cake for our June 2022 wedding, and also baked all of the desserts for our dessert table (mini cheesecakes, whoopee pies, fruit bars, etc.) Everything was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully! Maxine is such a pleasure to work with -- extremely responsive, talented and kind -- and we would absolutely hire her again. -

My husband and I were absolutely thrilled with our wedding cake. We wanted something simple and elegant and that's exactly what was delivered. The cake was gorgeous and absolutely delicious at the same time! Maxine was also a complete joy to work with. We feel very lucky and would recommend Maxine to anyone! -

Two weeks later, I am still getting compliments about my wedding cake! It was so good! I loved working with Maxine. COVID makes so many parts of wedding planning difficult, but Maxine made the cake process easy. She has a number of creative flavor options that are right up my alley. I picked up two tasting halves - a raspberry chocolate ganache and lemon lavender cake with butter cream icing - about 3 or 4 months before the wedding. I went with the lemon lavender cake. It was beautiful and delicious. Relatives lined up for a slice! I even saw friends eating cake the next morning for breakfast! (I certainly had a slice each day the following week with my coffee - haha!) Maxine was kind, professional, and a delight to work with! -

Maxine baked us the most delicious wedding cake in the world for our August 2021 wedding. We wanted a unique and delicious flavor for our cake, and she definitely delivered with an absolutely incredible lemon-lavender cake with lemon curd filling. All the guests at our wedding were absolutely raving about the cake all night. Maxine was so thoughtful throughout the entire process, from our first cake tasting, to checking in regularly throughout the wedding process to the day of our wedding, when she decorated our cake so beautifully with flowers from our florist. Maxine was an absolute delight to work with, and we're so grateful her beautiful cake was part of our special day! -

Maxine did an excellent job creating with us a beautiful cake for our wedding. She made us a two tier lemon sponge cake with raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream icing with fresh fruit and delivered it to our wedding at Rustic Ridge View Farm. Everyone loved the cake including us! If you are in the Hudson Valley, Maxine is an excellent choice for a beautiful and delicious cake! -

Beautiful cake
Maxine is such a kind and thoughtful person -- it comes across even in her email correspondence and is clear she loves what she does! Maxine was actually the very first vendor we booked after we chose our venue! It was clear and obvious that she was the best choice.
She gave us great choices for our wedding cake and after a cake tasting, we decided on a lemon poppy cake with blackberry preserve with a 'semi-naked' look to it for our summer wedding. I admit I'm normally not a big cake eater, but I couldn't stop eating this cake! Maxine is professional, VERY responsive -- I can't recommend her enough. Thank you, Maxine! -

We hired Maxine to make our wedding cake as she was on a list of vendors from our venue! She was wonderful and so easy to work with. Due to covid, the tasting was a little different but it was great that she was able to accommodate us! She gave super helpful guidance when we were deciding on flavor combinations. The cake was beautiful and exactly what we imagined not to mention it was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend Maxine! -

Dream cake
My wedding day was full of wonderful surprises and our wedding cake was at the top of the list! I was so over joyed when I finally saw the cake. Maxine made it so beautiful and worked directly with our florist to make it happen seamlessly. The best part was that our Carrot Wedding Cake was delicious and paired so well with tea and coffee at the end of the night. Can't thank you enough Maxine! Highly recommend. -

Delicious wedding cake
Our experience with Maxine was wonderful. The hardest part was choosing what cake we liked the best from all of the samples that she made for us. Our final choice of yellow cake, raspberry chocolate ganache filling, and milk chocolate buttercream frosting was loved by all. The only negative thing about the cake was that it was eaten too quickly! -

I had to plan my wedding from another state and was nervous about how everything would come together. Maxine listened to everything I wanted and delivered that and more. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and made wedding planning during Covid easier. She was professional, punctual, responsive and made my dream cake a reality. Our desserts looked amazing and tasted even better. Highly recommend! -

Samantha Sent on 11/24/2019The most incredible (and incredibly delicious) wedding cake!
We weren’t sure if we wanted a wedding cake, but that was before we had Max’s cake. Max designed the most perfect three-tier beauty for us, and it was one of my favorite parts of our wedding.
If you like cake, you will love Max’s cakes. If you don’t like cake, you will love Max’s cakes. I hadn’t seen my husband eat an entire piece of cake in the six years of our relationship, and he had three pieces at our cake tasting. That’s how good her cakes are. Our guests agreed, and several people told us they were embarrassed but they had multiple pieces of cake because it was just that good.
Not only were the flavors delicious (vanilla cake, blackberry preserves and custard filling, brown sugar buttercream icing, yum!), but the cake itself was beautiful. The tiers had different textures to keep it interesting, and Max expertly designed the flower arrangement that cascades so perfectly down the side. It was exactly what I imagined. If you want a delicious and showstopping cake all in one, hire Max!! -

Absolutely wonderful! Maxine was so easy to work with. She listened to what you wanted and made sure she met your expectations. She was on time, ready to go, and the almond cake with a chocolate ganache and butter cream frosting was delicious. She gave us peace of mind. She is dependent and reliable. Would highly recommend. -

Wedding Cake-Amazing!
Maxine was such a pleasure to work with! She provided us with our wedding cake which was simple and beautiful, exactly what we wanted! The cake was absolutely delicious! We went with a rosemary cake with vanilla buttercream, with a raspberry filing! It was so good, our guest loved the unique flavor!
I cannot wait for our first anniversary so we can break that baby out and relive the delicious taste! I would highly recommend Maxine for any and all baking needs!
