Brandy is a great person to have make your cakes. She really understood what I was going for. Since I am a funeral director I asked for skulls on the top of my cake. When I had tol...
d people I was doing this they thought I was crazy. My first meeting with Brandy she thought it was amazing and made me feel great about my dream cake. It turned out amazing! She also gave the sugar skulls back to me afterward in a glass jar:)
Our wedding cake from Brandy was beyond anything that we could have ever asked for. We met with several different vendors before deciding to go with her and we couldn’t have been h...
appier.
Her flavors are unique and the cake itself is different than any other cake had in the area. They’re like the cakes we had in Europe and are layered with things like meringues, gellees, and creams. They’re incredibly tender and delicious and are truly pastry inspired as she says. Every single piece of cake was devoured even though we had ordered a little extra.
Then there’s the artistry. Our cake was completely unique to us and our vision and no detail went unnoticed. Our guests couldn’t believe the flowers were made from sugar. After our wedding, Brandy arranged them in an antique vase for us to keep forever. To make everything even more special, we were surprised to find a box of pastries in our hotel suite from her for our wedding night.
Brandy is a true artist and we could not have been happier with our decision to work with her. She is more expensive than the other cake vendors we had met with but it was definitely worth the splurge to have such a delicious, beautiful and memorable cake that our guests still rave about.
Brandy was a pleasure to work with! She made us two cakes for our two weddings (one, a small COVID wedding in 2020 and one, a larger wedding celebration in 2022). Her cakes were ...
absolutely amazing and perfect both times. Beautiful sugar flowers, whimsical (as we requested) and beyond yummy. We received so many compliments about the cake! We also had our second wedding in upstate New York and she drove all the way up there to set up the cake for us for a very fair price. Thank you, Brandy!! We cannot recommend her more highly if you want a real centerpiece of a wedding cake for your wedding!
Brandys cakes are delicious and beautiful. Specifically recommend MeMaws Carrot Cake. It was incredible and truely made with love. My wife is extremely hard to satisfy but Brandy ...
knocked it out of the park with her amazing floral designs and taste. Seriously ladies and gents she’s the best.
My entire wedding experience with Brandy was BEYOND exceptional! To start, our cake tasting was similar to that of a sophisticated tea party with beautiful china and gorgeous displ...
ays of a variety of cake flavors we had chosen. She even baked a cake flavor we requested that wasn't on her menu! That cake flavor ended up being our favorite and is now listed on the menu! When discussing the design, Brandy was able to take my ideas and inspiration and hand sketch in front of me a dream creation. That sketch was perfectly executed on our big day and no detail was missed! The sugar flowers looked so real that you would think they were placed by the florist! Not only did the cake look beautiful but it tasted DELICIOUS! Her slices are thick and tall so you have the perfect ratio of buttercream to cake. I think it tasted even better for breakfast the morning after our wedding!! Overall, Brandy was one of my favorite vendors on our wedding day because she was reliable, took every idea I had into consideration, and delivered amazing quality/service. I would highly recommend her for any future event, you will not be disappointed!
So I just want to start off by saying DO NOT compromise on the taste of cake just because you think there isn’t better out there or it’s too expensive. Brandy’s cakes are the best ...
and so soft and delicious and worth the price!! I have have tried so many different cakes because we have a lot of parties and did lots of tastings and nothing compares to Brandys cakes! I came not really knowing what design I wanted until I saw one of her designs and she helped me adjust it to the way I wanted it. She was so helpful and listened to what I wanted and designed the most beautiful cake! Brandy is not only talented but she puts her whole heart into what she does and it shows. There was no leftover cake and all my guests could not stop talking about how delicious the cake was! I am so blessed Brandy could make my wedding cake and blow both my husband and I out of the water with her beautiful designs and taste!
Brandy was probably one of the most professional vendors I worked with for my wedding. She’s a sweetheart and she truly has an exceptional talent. Not only did she sketch out my dr...
eam cake as we played out ideas back and forth, but she brought it to life. She’s amazing.
So grateful to have worked with Brandy of B.Markova Cake for our wedding. Brandy brought our vision for our wedding cake to life! Her creativity, artistry and professionalism from ...
start to finish is unparalleled. From the moment she welcomed us to her shop for our first cake tasting experience, to brainstorming together on designs, to seeing our cake on our wedding day, we were absolutely blown away! We (and our guests!) enjoyed every decadent and delicious layer of our wedding cake. Each bite was perfection!
Brandy came through when my original vendor went radio silent a few months before my wedding. The cake tasting was an experience in itself, everything was absolutely delicious and...
blew the rest of the competition in the area away. Our wedding cake was incredible, not just the taste but it was beautiful. We also did cupcakes to offer more flavors, almost everything was gone by the end of the night. The guests couldn't say enough about the dessert and everyone was asking which baker I used. If you're looking for a cake for a special occasion give Brandy a call!
Our wedding cake was beautiful, the flavors were phenomenal. Brandy came back to New Orleans to do our wedding cake because of Covid we were postponed she had moved away but came b...
ack to do it for us. I would recommend Her for anyone for any occasion. The workmanship and her flowers was beyond anything I’ve ever seen
Take my advice and book B. Markova for your event! We worked with Brandy for our Spring 2021 wedding, and our experience with her from start to finish was nothing short of stellar...
. At that time, she was holding tastings in her own home, which really was a whole event complete with champagne and mini-versions of her cake flavors -- my mom and I had a blast sampling and learning about her process. We had 2 other tastings in the area, and B.Markova by FAR had the best tasting cakes. When we had to postpone our wedding and decrease the guest list because of COVID, Brandy was so supportive and ever flexible. Even though she no longer lived in New Orleans, she was wonderful enough to fly into town and make a beautiful cake and delicious assortment of pastries for our wedding day -- our guests gave them rave reviews. Throughout the entire process, Brandy was professional, highly communicative, and flexible under uncertain circumstances. It is clear that she takes so much pride in what she does, and I am ever grateful that she decided to share her amazing talents with us for our wedding day.
BRANDY IS THE BEST! I don't even know where to begin this review. From the moment we met Brandy, we knew she had to make our cake. She is thoughtful, creative, and has the best hea...
rt. The road to our wedding was complex. We had to deal with two postponements due to COVID and Brandy moving out of state. Despite all of that, the cake looked and TASTED amazing! We are thrilled with how it turned out. Brandy went above and beyond to make our wedding cake special--I mean BEYOND. I am so honored that she was able to make our dream cake happen. Do yourself a favor and hire this company for your next event!
From the beautiful and elegant tasting to the final finished cake, we were blown away by B’s service, attention to detail and class. Our cake was elegant, delicious and exactly wh...
at we wanted. Our guests RAVED about how yummy it was! Thank you soo much!!
Absolute Perfection
Look no further... no really, stop your endless searching and let Brandy make your cake! Her knowledge, craftsmanship, and technical skills are so far beyond th...
e Tidewater area that you almost blink and wonder if she is real. From the first time you join her for a tasting to the moment you cut your personalized creation Brandy is a true gift. Our tasting cakes were make fresh for us, per what flavors we were interested in. We planned our wedding remotely and had been told that wedding cakes should be like this... or should be this flavor... Wrong! Brandy’s creative flavors are beyond delicious and change with the season Her workshop/ home sets the tone and makes you feel at ease. She engaged us with conversation and tea. She got to know us as a family. She partnered with me about my vision and wanted to make sure her ideas were welcomed. We worked together with out issue! She was even gracious enough to work with our florist on the flowers for the cake. She shared her vision and let them carry it out. Our wedding was beautiful and sadly I didn’t even get to see Brandy that day, but I would have gushed to her about her edible work of art! Thank you Brandy! It was beyond beautiful! Ps! Mine is the Marble beauty with the cascading white flowers!
We love B. Markova cakes! No goes the extra mile like Brandi. She is so accommodating and fun to work with, and really goes the extra mile in helping customers find a cake that’s...
exactly right for them! Plus, the quality and creativity of her flavors, and her exquisite designs are one-of-a-kind. My son and daughter-in-law, who got married during Covid, are planning a big party in 2022 in another state—but they hope Brandi can again make their wedding cake. No one else will do!
I cannot thank Markova Cakes enough!
I was a ‘’pandemic bride’’ so I was all over the places, forgetting e-mails, forgetting to choose a flavor and everything lol :)
But she helpe...
d me so much with everything and was so incredibly professional, she listened to what I want and made it exactly BUT MORE BEAUTIFULLY than I could have ever imagened!
Thank you for this amazing cake!
Oh and it was delicious!
We will recommend you to all of our friends and choose you for all of our events!
I can’t wait to eat the top layer next year, we might sneak and eat it like next week :)
I am so happy we found Brandy for our wedding cakes and cupcakes, I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful array! I saw a photo of small individual cakes she makes that sit on ta...
ll candle holders and loved the idea. She had us over for a tasting and tea and her flavors were so delicious and we loved her unique flavor combinations. But even better than that, we loved the passion she has for her craft and knew that she would do great job. She did not disappoint! She made each of us a small cake that were individual in their own way for us, but complemented each other perfectly. And they were gorgeous! She got photos from our florist of the colors and flowers we were using, and all of our guests were shocked that her sugar flowers weren’t real flowers, they’re insanely beautiful! We took them home with us and can keep them as a beautiful reminder of such an incredible day. And I love that she uses natural ingredients, it really makes the flavors that much more delicious.
What an awesome and personal experience! We went cake tasting over at Brandy’s house and it was the sweetest thing (not just the cake! ;)
She is full of personality and creativity...
for her work. She’s quite organized and easy going! Would recommend her to anybody! This will be a night me and my fiancé will remember when we are married! :)
One of the best decisions we made was to hire Brandy. We wanted to ensure our cake had a wow factor that was also met with spectacular flavor. Brandy well exceeded our expectations...
. She was professional, fun to work with, and made the process so easy for us. The cake surpassed anything we could have imagined with Brandy's exceptional technique. Her original design incorporated our theme and color scheme. Our guests raved about the colors, the fine details, and the amazing flavor. Everyone had seconds! We even felt bad to cut into it because it was so beautiful. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
Brandy made our wedding cakes - one for both my husband and I - and they were so beautiful, and delicious. She also made iced pizza cutout cookies and shortbread cookies for our gu...
ests, that were also beautiful. The display was perfect and we loved that the desserts had more depth of flavor besides just being sweet, and they weren't too sweet either.
Brandy is a long life family friend, she is one of the most talented women I know. And her cakes are absolutely neath taking! We have ordered many cakes from her and every single o...
ne of them we’re the life of the party! The cakes were moist and the icing was way better than store bought! Everyone talked about the cakes! Brandy is definitely our go to person! 😘
I have ordered several cakes from Brandy and plan to contact her for our 10th wedding anniversary! She goes above and beyond in identifying what aesthetic and design would align w...
ith your vision. She has a knack for combining unique and memorable flavors that you and guests will keep talking about after the event! She is incredibly professional and pleasant, and her work speaks for itself!
Brandy is so sweet and kind, and has one of a kind talent! We were out of state clients and she exceeded our expectations. We got a signature flavor, white almond cherry. Everyone ...
raved that it was one of the best cakes they’ve ever had, and it was most definitely one of the most beautiful I’ve ever enjoyed. Thanks Brandy!
Brandy's cakes are delicious and extremely beautiful. I have never tasted cake as delicious and unique as hers. Our cake layer flavors were lavender vanilla; lemon poppyseed basil;...
brown butter maple pecan; and dark chocolate praline. The lavender was so subtle and refined. The basil was the perfect touch to the lemon. The brown butter and the pecans complemented each other in the BEST way possible. I don't even know what to say about dark chocolate praline, so delicious!
She painstakingly covered our cake in hundreds of delicate, handmade gum paste flowers. Her fondant work was flawless. The layer of fondant over our cake was so thin, none of my guests believed the cake actually had fondant on it. My husband and I, along with all of our guests, highly recommended B.Markova Cake.
Brandy is amazing and was so wonderful to work with. She was recommended to me from family in Chicago and helped me plan a cake for my wedding in New Orleans (we live in Seattle). ...
She put together multiple aspects I liked of other cakes and made it one stunning, cohesive piece. The cake was absolutely delicious, our guests raves about it. Brandy has a selection of unique flavors so that it tastes as good as it looks!
