Maryann was so wonderful to work with. We went ahead and did a cake tasting to decide on what flavors we would want for our two tier wedding cake and she made three full on double decker mini cakes with various fillings for us to sample. They were all super tasty so it was difficult to decide, but in the end we went with a tier of red velvet with cream cheese frosting inside and a layer of pink champagne with butter cream frosting. I wanted a semi-naked cake, which she was easily able to do and she kindly took care of arranging the flowers on the cake and putting my cake topper on for me at the

Maryann did a beautiful job on our daughter's 5th birthday cake! We were visiting from Reno and called last minute looking for someone who would make the day special for her. Maryann was so accommodating, knew exactly what we were looking for and had the cake ready for us early the next day. My daughter couldn't stop looking at the gorgeous roses, sparkles and confetti. It was just the thing to make her day perfect!

We were visiting Willamette Valley to celebrate my husband's birthday. I reached out to Maryann via email with a request to make a birthday cake. I had looked at her website and decided on a pink champagne cake with raspberry cream cheese filling. She was very creative in her decorations. I simply gave her a theme of 'wine' and she came up with a fun cake that incorporated a fondant wine bottle and wine glass. Everybody in our group said the cake was light, moist and delicious, and I concur!
