    Perfect wedding cake!

    We loved our wedding cake from MJB cakes! Not only did Melissa create the prettiest cake, but it tasted SO GOOD! We had 2 flavors (carrot cake and cookies and cream) and it was perfect! We also had some of the mini desserts, which were so yummy as well! Melissa was very helpful when emailing and friendly too! Already can't wait to get a little cake for our 1 year anniversary!

    Wedding Cake of Our Dreams!

    My husband and I are so happy that we had the pleasure of working with Melissa, of MJB Cakes for our wedding. We were drawn to her beautiful cakes and knew we had to have her a part of our special day. We scheduled a pick-up cake tasting with her, and all of her flavors were SO good it was difficult to make a choice (she does offer different flavored tiers.) Ultimately, we chose strawberry and cream, which was a total hit at our wedding! We sent her an inspiration photo of what we would like our cake to look like, and Melissa delivered exactly what we asked for! Our cake was so stunning and absolutely delicious. Thank you for contributing to our beautiful day!

    Incredible Ventura County Baker!

    MJB Cakes is an amazing baker! We got connected to Melissa through family and friends - highly recommend - who use her services all the time for kids birthdays, weddings, and other parties. She created the dessert table and lemon cake for our spring 2023 wedding in Camarillo, CA, and did the best job. We got so many complements from our guests about her amazing baking. Melissa was also incredibly communicative and helpful in the planning process, and even went off-menu to help us create some amazing Italian wedding cookies to honor our shared Italian heritage. What a treat to have Melissa's incredible desserts for the big day - we wish we could have her desserts everyday!

    Looks and Tastes Amazing!

    Melissa made the most beautiful wedding cake for us! I sent her an inspiration photo and we worked together to downsize and re-scale it all. I specifically wanted sugar flowers and the ones she made turned out so gorgeous. Melissa is extremely talented and we had so many guests compliment us on how delicious her carrot cake is! She was very flexible when our guest count went down by over 70 people, and allowed us to remove two of the sheet cakes. We also loved that she let us have a different flavor for every tier! She was very easy to work with and her prices are competitive, especially when compared to some of the larger bakeries in the LA area.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind review. It was a pleasure working with you as well!

    Cancel your other cake tastings! She’s the one!

    Melissa was beyond remarkable! Her cake was moist! Even days later after the wedding! From the day of our tasting to the day of the wedding we were in constant contact. She upholds her professionalism and is an amazing baker. After our tasting we actually canceled our other tastings because we knew that she had to make our cake. Very affordable pricing and well worth it for the cake she made us. I fell in love with how she recreated the photo I found. If you’re looking for a moist and affordable cake, Melissa is your girl to do exactly that!

    Melissa from MJB Cakes is so amazing! She was so easy to work with and made the whole process of choosing a cake, flavors, desserts, etc so smooth! She offers to mail flavors for her busy brides or you can do a traditional tasting! I kept changing my mind of the flavors and things I wanted to add and Melissa had no problem helping me every step of the way! Come wedding day, she put together the most stunning dessert bar I could have imagined and everyone at our wedding raved about how delicious the desserts were! I would 100% recommend MJB Cakes for your wedding!!

    Everything I expected and more!

    The cake not only tasted amazing, but the process working with Melissa was so easy and professional. She arrived on time and delivered exactly what we wanted. I couldn't have asked for anything better! During your wedding, you want everything to flow smoothly and she did just that! She arrived on time and decorated the cake quickly! The cake tasting was also amazing! We had so much cake at the end that we were able to share it with family :)

    Melissa was fantastic and I highly recommend her business to anyone in need of delicious and beautiful treats. Melissa replied to my inquiries quickly and professionally; keeping in touch with her throughout the entire process was easy and stress-free. Her french macarons fit my jewel-toned wedding colors perfectly; they turned out beautifully. Her prompt delivery was appreciated and her creative placement of the cookies was wonderful- my guests just loved them! Thank you Melissa for an easy and GREAT experience :)

    Melissa at MJB cakes is an absolute gem! She is extremely friendly, helpful and a very talented baker. I was so lucky to have her as a part of our special day. We decided to have cupcakes and a small cutting cake. I had some visions of how I wanted our cake to look (as a surprise to the groom-it looked like a tree stump) and she gave her professional input on what would look and taste the best and she was SPOT on!!!! Our cake was absolutely amazing and the groom was very pleased. She was flexible with increasing our order last minute and her pricing is very reasonable and affordable.
    I have had several people since the wedding comment on how tasty and delicious our cupcakes were and have asked where to get them. :)
    Needless to say we were very pleased with our choice to go with Melissa and would choose her again in a heartbeat!!!! XOXO-

    Melissa was referred to me by a friend who used her for her daughter's wedding and we are so thankful that we found her. She was always very prompt responding to my emails, texts and calls... My daughter is very particular and had a specific vision for her wedding dessert bar & Melissa fulfilled all her expectations and more! Our tasting with Melissa was my husband and my daughter's fiance at the time favorite part of the wedding planning, everything was delicious! I appreciated Melissa's help with the number of desserts we would need based on our guest list for my daughter's wedding. She was right on with her numbers, we had very few leftovers & they were finished off the next day, nothing got wasted. I'm still hearing how amazing all the desserts were at my daughter's wedding!! Lastly, Melissa went above and beyond the day of the wedding when our florist failed to deliver the floral arrangements that Melissa was going to use to finish the cake when setting up our dessert bar. She assured me not to worry & that she would use parts from some of the centerpieces to finish decorating the cake... And I did exactly as Melissa instructed & didn't worry, I was confident that she would figure it all out & she did, no one knew the difference! Thank you, Melissa, for helping make our daughter's wedding day the best day ever!

    Melissa was an absolute pleasure to work with! We met her by chance right after we got engaged and after looking through her Instagram page, we loved the style of her cakes. She let us sample quite a few flavor combinations which were all delicious. We went with the vanilla with vanilla bean buttercream and fresh strawberries. Everyone LOVED the cake and it came out beautifully! Her prices were also very reasonable. Thank you, Melissa!

    Where to begin... As if planning a wedding wasn't stressful enough, due to a family emergency my husband and I were put in a position where we had to relocate from living on Maui and postpone our initial wedding, and eventually settled on a quick wedding around Thanksgiving. I was referred to Melissa by a coworker (thanks Mary!) and I am so glad! With only a few weeks out from our wedding, we ended up meeting and doing a tasting. Melissa was able to provide the most awesome combinations to try, and I felt she really wanted to ensure that we were really getting what we wanted. Something that definitely stood out about Melissa was how thoughtful she is. During our initial conversation, I had expressed that something that was important to be about the initial wedding we were planning was that I was going to have French macarons . It may sound silly, but I felt that it was going to be such a great touch to our dessert bar. Upon coming to our tasting, we had discovered that Melissa had made samples of French macarons to try, and they were amazing! Everything that she prepared on our special day was beyond delicious, and to this day everyone still compliments our assortment of desserts. I'm even having a grand opening for my business and friends and family are asking that I have treats made by her. Thanks Melissa!

    Melissa is so incredibly talented and so wonderful to work with. My husband and I met with multiple bakeries in our search for the perfect person to make our wedding cake and dessert bar, but truly none of them could match up to MJB Cakes! Melissa was kind, prompt, professional and attentive when we me with her and throughout the entire planning process. The tasting was amazing and had many delicious cake, filling and frosting options to choose from. My husband loved the tasting so much, he begged for more up until the wedding. We had so many compliments on the dessert bar/cake (three layers of different incredible flavors) from guests and we even made sure to snag some goodies to set aside for our honeymoon flight to enjoy the next day. Thank you so much for making such a beautiful cake and dessert bar for our wedding. We were so grateful to have you!! MJB Cakes is amazing and we highly recommend! You won't be disappointed.
