My wife and I got a wonderful 10" cassata cake for our wedding from Maria, and it was delicious and looked good too. Maria provided comprehensive samples for us before selecting our cake flavor, and we had trouble picking a favorite because they were all so tasty. It was very easy to work with Maria to figure out specifications for the cake itself. We provided three pictures of cakes we had in mind, and she gave good feedback of what she was capable of. The cake looked very good, if the colors were slightly different from what we were going for; that's a small critique, though. We had the cake delivered for a small extra fee, and it was at our venue and displayed beautifully with no stress for us. Overall, we got a good cake for good value.
Cakes by Maria and Joe came at the recommendation of our wedding food caterer and we were not disappointed! Maria made our tasting and end cake process a breeze! They have so many delicious flavors to choose from, and each was true to it's name. The cakes were moist and soft, the icings and flavors were sweet and natural, with just the perfect amount to not be too overpowering. I would recommend them for all of your sweet needs as their customization was easy and great to work with! There were no issues including florals, our cake topper, or our personal dog figurines onto our cake - all which our guests loved!
I cannot say enough about this business! Our cake was sooooo good!!! So many people complimented us on it. After doing our tasting we had such a hard time picking flavors that we ended up with 9 flavors total between the 2 tiered grooms cake for our rehearsal dinner, our 3 tiered cake and our sheet cake which was 4 flavors. Maria is the sweetest person and she was so easy to work with. I highly recommend this bakery for your next cake needs. You will not be disappointed.
Seriously, the most delicious cake!! My fiance and I aren't big cake eaters but we absolutely loved our cake and all the flavors we got (tiered cake and sheet cakes were all different because we couldn't choose just one after our tasting!!) Maria is the nicest person to work with. She was so responsive and helpful (I had no idea what I wanted or what I was doing) and she was so patient with me. I can't recommend them enough!
Cake from Maria and Joe was included in our hall rental. The process of picking out and designing the cake was a bit complicated. Due to COVID, we had to pick a certain number of flavors to try and pick up and taste at home. When it came to designing the cake, we were directed to the Facebook page to pick something based off of previous cakes. We did not get to really talk to them too much in person or have actual discussions. Also, needed to buy any additional decorations (such as ribbon) ourselves and provide for the shop.
Although the process of getting the cake set up was stressful for us, the cake was delivered exactly when it needed to be, looked great, and tasted delicious. In the end, it all worked out.
We did white almond cake and it was delicious! Maria is so good to work with, she texts to communicate which makes it super easy. They delivered our cake the day of the wedding and we had no problems!
Delicious almond white cake, beautiful decorations. The tasting was really fun, and the process was straightforward. My husband and I could not wait a year to eat the top part of the cake- we ate it the next day with family! We will definitely come back and buy a new cake for our 1yr :)
We used Cakes by Maria and Joe for our February wedding and they did a beautiful job!
Maria worked closely with me and my design to give me the best looking cake for the best price, giving her reccomendations as needed.
Delicious too!
We used Cakes by Maria & Joe in conjunction with our venue, the Banquet Center at St. Noel. Maria makes the whole process very easy, from her organized Facebook page with all the flavors of cakes to picking out cake decor that matched our wedding vision. We were able to try six delicious flavors of cake and ended up going with a 4 tiered cake with cassata and white wedding flavors. The design we picked was classic, and Maria delivered. We were so happy with how the cake came out and how it tasted! We cannot believe how effortless the whole process was. We highly recommend this bakery for your wedding or any event!
Not only was our cake delicious, but it was beautiful! We showed Maria what we wanted and she delivered. Our guests raved about the flavors too!! Their white almond is to DIE for
Choosing a bakery was the easiest decision we made for planning our wedding! We live out of town and Maria was very accommodating with setting up phone calls, in person meetings, and the tasting based on my schedule. There are so many flavors to choose from and all are delicious. We ended up going with four different types of cupcakes and a small cake. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and highly recommend Maria and Joe. I also love their chocolate hearts and peanut butter chocolate squares and will continue to stop in for those and of course cupcakes when I visit!
Maria and Joe are the kindest couple and their cakes are DELICIOUS. They are so talented and accommodated our requests. We had a naked cake with flowers and berries to decorate, and it turned out beautifully. Guys, seriously, people RAVED about how good the cake was - and we went simple with just a yellow cake with raspberry filling! If you want someone who is talented, professional, prompt with delivery, and has no fuss attached, go with Maria and Joe. You will not regret it, I promise. Seriously though, it's been about a week since our wedding and I'm still eating cake leftovers because I'm that obsessed.
Maria was so wonderful to work with for our wedding cake. She was able to work within our budget and she created the cake of my dreams! She was able to take a design I love from Pinterest and bring it to life. The delivery was timely and they added final touches on site to make sure it was perfect! All three flavors were a hit with our guests - Lemon Raspberry, Cookies n Cream, White Wedding. So delicious!
Maria is a delight to work with-very responsive and trustworthy! She made the whole process stress-free and a very easy part of the planning! She also makes the process extra special by providing a cake for your one-year anniversary, so not only did we feel taken care of, but the cake was delicious and we know we got a wonderful deal!
Maria & Joe,
Maria it was a pleasure meeting you! We couldn't of asked for a better bakery to make our cake for our special day! Thank you for the beautiful wedding cake you made for our May wedding. We were so pleased with the result. We received so many compliments on the cake & its 3 different flavored layers. Big Hit!!! We are looking forward to the cake on our 1st anniversary since we only got to eat a bite of the cake during the cake cutting! We wish you continued success!
Sincerely,
Mr. & Mrs. Kavick
Maria is a wonderful person to work with! From the first day she made everything so easy. We loved being able to taste so many different flavors and ultimately decided on the dark chocolate cake with buttercream frosting and it was a HUGE hit! We are still getting compliments on how great the cake was and everyone wanted to know where it was from! She also has a lot of design options to choose from and was open to personalizing our design if that was what we wanted. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a great wedding cake!!
Our wedding cake was exactly what we wanted - looks and taste wise! Maria is wonderful to work with - super easy and most of our communications were done by text. We had such a hard time choosing the flavors we wanted, they were all so yummy! We were able to pick up to 4 different flavors and we chose casatta, maple bacon, and cookies & cream. Our guests loved it!
Maria did a wonderful job on our cake! It was the perfect addition to our special day & was absolutely delicious!
Our cake was perfect! It was exactly what we wanted and it was delicious! We have had guest asking us where we got our cake from! They have a wide verity of cake flavors, and very easy to work with!! I highly recommend them!!!
Our wedding cake was beautiful and delicious! She had plenty of delicious samples for us to try when we were deciding on flavors early on. We had so many compliments on the cake. They are very reasonably priced and the cake is amazing!!!
Our cake was beautiful and delicious!! Our cake tasting was awesome & we were able to pick three flavors to have in our cake which was amazing! They all tasted so good!
We absolutely loved our wedding cake my Maria and Joe! It looked and tasted amazing!!
The cake was great! We were able to choose our flavors after tasting from about 5 choices. We were also able to choose a design for our cake that was absolutely beautiful. Maria is a great communicator, answered all of our questions, and met with us to talk about our vision for the cake. Plus, the cake tasted great! I received many compliments from guests! Thanks again!
Maria and Joe are true pros! They were recommended by our reception venue and we had one meeting to select our design. They are so experienced and were able to brainstorm with us and create a design we loved. We got samples of the flavors as cupcakes to try at home! The cake arrived seamlessly on our wedding day and was DELICIOUS!
Maria and Joe put a personal touch on helping you create the wedding cake of your dreams!! Everything tasted fabulous! I loved that we were able to take home the samples and take our time deciding which flavors we wanted(there were so many to choose from!). The finished product was delivered and setup at the hall and we did not have to worry about anything. Thank you Maria and Joe for a perfect wedding cake!
We found Maria and Joe through a personal recommendation and we couldn’t have been happier with their work! We had an idea of combining the Cleveland and Budapest skyline silhouette on our wedding cake (due to our heritage) and Maria and Joe made our idea a reality better than we could have ever imagined. Very responsive and open to ideas and was just easy and fun to work with them! Thank you!
My husband and I got married last month and we could not be happier with the our cake! Cakes by Maria and Joe did a great job. Not only was our cake absolutely delicious, but beautiful as well! We can't wait to use them again for future events!
Maria was a pleasure to work with. So personable and really captured what we wanted. We chose a simple cake but it turned out just how I pictured it. The flavors were to die for!! Thank you so much!! :)
Maria & Joe were wonderful to work with! I had them picked out before our caterer, but fortunately they work with our caterer often, so we got a real good deal. Maria willingly met with us late in the evening after work, & was always so helpful in the process. They allow tasting of cupcakes, which is awesome! There are SO many flavors to choose from, & everything we tasted was delicious. We ended up with a different flavor for each tier - lemon raspberry, funfetti & chocolate raspberry. The cake design turned out beautiful! We received a ton of compliments of how yummy the cake was.
My husband and I loved our wedding cake! Not only was it beautiful, it tasted amazing as well. We decided to go with Neopolitan for our main flavor, a suggestion made by Maria, and it was a big hit with all of our guests! I also had them make a groom's cake for the rehearsal dinner. They did a fantastic job capturing my husband's interests. Maria is fabulous! We truly loved the cakes that were made for us!
I knew when I walked in to this shop i was going to love our cake. She made us a beautiful wedding cake and it was enjoyed by all!
Ill be back to buy cupcakes!!!
Cake was beautiful but the icing was so sweet! tasted nothing like the cupcakes we got at our tasting!
Cupcakes were stale and inedible.
We used Cakes by Maria and Joe for our wedding on 8-1-15. Maria was really easy to work with, especially since we did not have a clear idea of what we wanted. We were able to taste many samples and the cake turned out to be beautiful and delicious!
We were so happy with our wedding cake from Cakes by Maria and Joe!! Maria was very upfront about what designs would look best and helped us design out gorgeous cake. The cake itself was delicious!! We received so many compliments on the delicious cake and frosting!!
Let me start by saying that their cake is absolutely delicious. Best cakes I have had. That being said, everything else was mediocre. The cake was crooked and the ribbon was uneven. I'm a perfectionist so this doesn't fly with me. To make a long story short, my cake actually avalanched. You could see the chocolate cake underneath because the frosting actually slipped off and in some places it folded over. My maid of honor called Maria to come fix it before the reception and she hung up on her. Awful customer service. I'm not saying I won't ever use them again, but I would be careful with layered cakes because it wasn't supported correctly. But this was the only issue I had at my wedding so who cares because you cut the cake to eat it and it tasted amazing.
We really enjoyed our cake, it was three layers and each layer was a different flavor! We had a fall wedding so Pumpkin was a must and it was delicious. It was decorated just how I wanted it simple, but elegant. Maria also makes very good cupcakes and I think she has 15 different flavors to choose.
This is seriously some of the best tasting cake in town. You will have trouble choosing your flavors because everything is outstanding. We went with cassata on the bottom layer and marble with chocolate moose on the rest. Yes, you read correctly, they do cassata cake! And it is SO GOOD. Our guests were raving about it. Best part is, they were one of the best values of everywhere we looked. Our cake was gorgeous, and exactly how we wanted it.
Our venue La Vera included our wedding cake, which was made by Cakes by Maria and Joe. After meeting with Maria, we were super comfortable using her bakery. She listened to what we wanted and created a beautiful, delicious cake. Super friendly and professional, we were very happy and would definitely use their services in the future.
Maria was awesome and was able to fit in a meeting at her home to accommodate my crazy schedule. The cake was delicious and looked beautiful. We were so pleased!
Made the groom's cake and wedding cake. Both were delicious and exactly what we discussed. Great friendly service and meeting, happy to recommend.
Our cake was so beautifully made and tasted delicious! Working with Maria was such a pleasure!
Sweet Couple and Amazing Bakers. All my guests were raving about the cake and still are a month later! SO GOOD.
Purchased my wedding cake and a groom's cake. Was the most delicious cake I have ever tasted and was beautiful!
La Vera Party Center includes your cake with the cost of your wedding and then puts you in touch with Cakes by Maria and Joe. Maria was so easy to work with and has beautiful designs to choose from. We went with the lemon cake for our summer wedding and got so many compliments on it! We added feather butterflies around our cake and had a Precious Moments figurine for the topper. I will order cakes from Cakes by Maria and Joe in the future for any event!
Maria made the cupcakes and the wedding cake for my reception. They make a delicious product and it looked beautiful too. Not to mention the great pricing. My guests raved about the cupcakes!
The cake was delicous and came out gorgeous! My only compliant is that we had originally talked about our flowers cascading down the one side of the cake and instead she had them circled around each layer. Not a huge deal but I was really looking forward to that little detail. Overall, everything else was perfect!
Maria was absolutely amazing! She was very friendly and answered all our questions. She did our fairy tale wedding cake at La Vera Party center. We were so excited and would recommend to anyone.
My cake was everything I had wanted and not to mention DELICIOUS!! Maria is the sweetest lady and she will help you design the cake of your dreams! I am so glad that we went with Cakes by Maria and Joe! Thanks again for everything!!

Taste tasted good. Not very capable at what they can do. Do not provide flowers. Only use icing. Cake was included in reception. Would not buy a cake ourselves.
I got a cake for 200 people. All 4 of our flavors were fantastic! She is great to work with and she even makes cupcakes in her shop so you can go back anytime to relive your wedding cake:) Loved the way the cake tasted and looked. Those are two very important things!
Maria and Joe make the best cakes! I had a cake by Maria and Joe for my bridal shower and wedding reception. My guests at the bridal shower loved the cake so much they were very excited they would have it again and the wedding reception. Maria and Joe have variety in flavors and are reasonable priced. I will continue to use Maria and Joe for future cakes!
We absolutely loved Maria! She was honest about what would and would not work for the cake. She was so sweet- she made us so comfortable! Our cake was perfect! It was beautiful, unique and so tasty! Cost was the best we found, too!
The cake was great. It was a little smaller than I expected, but everyone loved the taste!
Affordable and delicious! Maria is so sweet. Her bakery is delicious and i will definately beusing her again!
We were so pleased with our wedding cake that Maria made for us! She took the time to sit with us and design our special cake. We got to sample the different flavors that she offered. Her price was VERY reasonable, also! The cake was so delicious there was not much left after our guests left! We would definitely recommend her to make a cake for any special occasion!
The cakes she made were so good. She was a little hard to work with but the outcome was WONDERFUL!!!
She was able to do anyhing I wanted. She is also making us a new Cake topper for our one year anniversary.
