    All around excellence

    Our entire experience with Pawleys Island Bakery couldn’t have been more positive. A great, local, family place that was genuine and polite to work with. Our cake tasting was a lot of fun as we met with the head cake maker one morning and sampled every cake & icing flavor under the sun. She was very knowledgeable and professional and gave us all the time we wanted. She was able to make the cake look exactly like we wanted from a picture we sent her. It was delicious and moist with easy and reliable delivery. We also ordered a couple lunch platters with sandwiches, wraps, and salads that all turned out great as well. Big hit with everyone and not a crumb was left! Would highly recommend them for a wedding cake and really anything they make for that matter. All fresh and delicious.

    PI Bakery is great!

    Pawleys Island Bakery helped cater our welcome party on October 12th at a beach house in Litchfield and they did a fantastic job! They helped coordinate the menu which included appetizers and desserts. Everything tasted delicious! Max from PI Bakery was really easy to work with and made sure everything was set up perfectly for our event. He came over the day before to look at the layout of the house and plan for the event. I highly recommend PI Bakery to help cater your event or just swing by the store for an incredible selection of treats!

    Our black and white wedding cake for our June wedding was beautiful. The cake had 4 tiers with different flavors and fillings for each one. All of our guests continuously raved over their slices. We had a tier, with a flavor and filling of our choice, already packaged and ready to take home when our wedding cake was delivered. Everytime I visit Pawleys Island, I plan on making a stop at Pawleys Island Bakery. So delicious!

    Max and Pawleys Island Bakery provided the most amazing dessert table for my wedding. I knew I didn't want the traditional wedding cake and instead wanted to offer guests a variety of desserts. Max and Pawleys Island Bakery were amazing! So easy to work with, affordable and made it all so easy and stress free. All of the guests raved about the desserts - what was leftover was enjoyed and finished the next day! Thank you Max and Pawleys Island Bakery!

    Pawleys Island Bakery made us an extraordinary wedding cake!!! Everything that I have ever had from this bakery has been wonderful from the cupcakes to the sandwiches, so naturally we decided to get this bakery to do our wedding cake. We worked with Max and told him what we would like to have and he made us the PERFECT wedding cake for our big day. The delivery was flawless and the cake was absolutely delicious. Everyone at the wedding reception wanted to know who made the cake! It was beautiful and delicious!!!!

    Our wedding cake was beautiful and delicious thanks to Max from Pawleys Island Bakery. I didn't have to worry about anything, it just showed up right when it was supposed to. He planned accordingly with Denise from Greenskeeper florist for my cake decorations. Our cake tasting experience was amazing, I knew from that point he was going to be easy to work with. He didn't ask for a deposit to get started, he waited until we got our final count 2 weeks before. His prices are per person, you can make it as decorative as possible. He told me many times, its not a problem, he worked with whatever my request was. He was awesome and my cake was amazing!

    We were delighted with our wedding cake from Pawley's Island Bakery. It was beautiful and looked exactly as I pictured. Considering it was a combination of 2 different cake photos, this is no small feat. Max always promptly replied to my emails, confirming all details. Our first cake tasting was here and everything was so good, we cancelled our remaining bakery appointments.

    We are not local to the area, we come for a week in August each year. After our tasting, we ordered a small cake with our wedding flavors, lemon cake with raspberry mousse. We took it to the beach to share with family, and everyone loved it. The day after the wedding, we brought cake to the beach again. People's faces lit up, asking if it was the same as last year.

    If you are looking for a cake as delicious as it is beautiful, made by genuinely nice people, then look no further!

    My cake was simple and only required buttercream! Though I was a bit unhappy about them not being able to do a certain decoration. The cake was still delicious and beautiful!

    Max is simply amazing! He is incredibly talented. He made our rehearsal dinner cake and our wedding cakes. He is creative and can make a cake with any flavor combination you could imagine. He was very quick to respond via telephone and email. The value of the cake was also something to brag about, very inexpensive, comparatively in the cake world, for all of my cakes with delivery and set up! Go try anything at his bakery, so delicious!

    Max did a beautiful job and exactly what I wanted. the cake was so good that i got about ten compliments on how it tasted during the rest of the reception. He also didn't charge us an arm and a leg like the other places wanted to. And we still had a whole tier left in addition to our anniversary cake that is still in my fridge. Basically this bakery is great and I would recommend them for a wedding cake or even breakfast before as they have great sandwiches too.

    Pawleys Island Bakery did a great job on our wedding cake, my only regret is that I didn't get to eat more!! The owner and his wife were so flexible working around my work schedule to arrange a cake tasting. That buttercream frosting is amazing!! Thanks for the deliciousness!

    Max Goree is fabulous. My husband and I called Pawley's Island Bakery at 10am one Saturday morning in January, and had a tasting at 3pm! Max was incredibly accomodating, especially since we did not have an appointment, and gave us several types of cake and icings and layer fillers to try. My husband and I had a blast trying all of the different combinations of cake and we ended up going with carrott cake with cream cheese, cheesecake with chocolate mouse, red velvet with cream cheese, and vanilla with chocolate fudge. We decided to go with the satellite cake option (two of our cakes were single tiered and one was a double tier on 3 cake stands) and we are so happy we did! Everyone at my wedding loved having multiple flavors to try and raved about how moist and tasty the cakes were! The best part is, I sent Max my idea 2 weeks before my wedding and he completely ran with it and produced something beyond my wildest dreams! Not to mention, the day before the wedding, we walked in to pay him, and he gave us a free lunch... which was also delicious! If you are in need of a cake maker, look no farther, Max is your guy! A big thank you to him and his team! We will be returning when we vacation!

    I ordered a wedding cake along with a variety of several small pastries, tarts, and cookies for my wedding reception.
    Max at PI Bakery does a wonderful job with his cakes. I love the fact that he does not work with Fondant (who likes that stuff anyways) and his cakes are absolutely beautiful (he is truly an artist). I loved the fact that for a flat price, you can choose and basically make your wedding cake and the fillings be whatever it is you want. we chose three different types of cakes and fillings (the hazelnut cake with mocha mousse filling was my favorite). I also liked the fact that he had a book filled with examples of his previous work, that made it much easier to select what I wanted and modify it to flow perfectly with my wedding theme. the cake turned out beautifully and was absolutely delicious.
    The items we selected for our dessert table were also delicious, and everyone complimented the beautiful cake and delicious treats.
    Perfect price and beautiful, delicious products. I recommend PI Bakery to anyone having an event in the area. (my in laws also ordered a variety of desserts for the rehearsal dinner which turned out great as well)

    I worked with Max at Pawleys Island Bakery for my 9/14/13 wedding in Pawleys Island, SC. I have frequented Pawleys Island Bakery for breakfast and coffee on trips to Pawleys Island over the past 4 years, so I knew that I wanted to work with them for our wedding if at all possible. First off, Max and his wife are the nicest people and go out of their way to give A+ customer service. Additionally, the various types of cakes, fillings, and frostings they make are so delicious - it was hard to narrow down what we wanted for our wedding cake. We ended up hiring Pawleys Island Bakery for our wedding cake and also had them prepare a dessert table for our reception that included various types of cookies, dessert bars, and pastries that were all incredibly tasty. I was looking forward to heading over to the dessert table at the end of our reception to grab some leftover desserts to bring back to our room for a late-night snack; unfortunately, there was nothing left to take! Our guests had eaten every piece! I highly recommend Pawleys Island Bakery for wedding services, and I can't wait to go back and visit the next time I am in Pawleys and grab a lemon bar or two :)
