    Delicious!

    Admittedly, I was very picky about the details I wanted for my wedding cake. I found portions of past cakes that Maxine had made and frankensteined together my dream creation. Maxine was very patient and helpful during this design process and nailed my vision. It was beautiful and delicious! She even worked with my florist to add some accents. She was also the only person in the area I could find willing to deliver, which was a huge plus for me (who wants the stress of a dropped cake on their wedding day?).
