Marla was extremely professional, patient, and kind! My now husband and I brought our parents along for the tasting and she provided such a great experience from start to delivery! All the flavor options were so delicious we ended up selecting a few different ones for the various layers in our wedding cake. Her attention to detail and artistry is remarkable. I absolutely recommend her to all couples looking for quality cake and customer service.
Marla was a delight to work with! Everything we tasted was delicious, especially her lemon curd cake that we had at our wedding. This is made with her home grown lemons, which shows especially in comparison to other cakes that use lemon flavoring. We had many guests specifically comment on the phenomenal taste of the cake. Marla was also adept at helping with design, which was despite me barely thinking about it amid work and the rest of wedding planning. Highly recommend!
Marla baked the coolest Halloween pumpkin cake for our son’s Halloween wedding. Not only was it beautiful, but everyone was raving about how delicious it was. It was our only dessert, along with some berries so it was perfect. She was easy to work with. Thank you Marla!!
Marla made our wedding cake and we couldn't have been happier. She was wonderful to work with and her flavors were excellent. We chose passion fruit lemon curd (our favorite!), tiramisu, and chocolate salted caramel. Her portfolio is very impressive, and when we visited for our tasting we saw a few delightful cakes in person - if you have an idea I am confident she can transform it into a cake!
The cake she created was exactly what we were hoping for, elegant with a celestial theme, and we got a lot of compliments on both the design and the taste. We highly recommend Marla!
Marla was awesome!! We loved our birch cake ! We also ordered cupcakes ,brownies and cookies and each one was mouth watering!!! I would highly recommend her to any bride!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Marla created the most AMAZING and delicious wedding cake I could have ever imagined! Our guests couldn't rave enough about how beautiful our cake was. It was soooooo damn good and just... ugh, incredible!
Our tiers consisted of red velvet, coffee chocolate, and tiramisu and I was just beyond in amazement at how Marla transformed everything.
Marla was prompt and extremely efficient with arriving and setting our cake up. I didn't have to worry about a thing when it came to setting up, etc.
Marla is so kind and helpful when it comes to creating your vision, she was such a pleasure to work with.
Pricing is also very reasonable and quality is out of this world!!
A friend of mine recommended this vendor, having used her services for her own wedding, and I am extremely grateful that I trusted my friend's advice. Marla was friendly, intuitive and creative. She struck the perfect balance between listening to our requests and giving us the reality of said requests (for example, the pros and cons of a naked cake). I was 99.9% sure on using her passion fruit curd/lemon cake as our main flavor, and tasting it easily confirmed that choice. The flavors were out of this world. We also chose the berries & cream and coffee chocolate-with Kahlua! With red and gold as our colors, and lace throughout, Marla had a design on hand to fulfill my whims. It was as pretty as it was tasty. We had no issues with her whatsoever, and I rave about her to anyone who asks about our cake. We have quite a bit left over sitting in our freezer, and it freezes very well as far as preserving the taste (I couldn't let it go to waste!)
She was a pleasure to work with-easy going and responded within a reasonable timeframe. She's passionate about her craft, and it shows through her details and professionalism.
Three things we loved about the cake baker Taste - All of her samples were delicious but the red velvet was the tastiest compared to other bakeries. Design - She incorporated our ideas into the design perfectly and even customized the interior of the cake. Cost - She doesn't have a storefront so her prices are much more affordable than the surrounding expensive bakeries.;She does not speak with confidence. Instead of saying 'Yes I will do that' she says 'Ummmmm yeah! I think I can do that'. I can't explain it better than that. In the end the cake turned out beautiful and perfect!
Marla Erojo is fabulous. The cake was a beautiful three layer cake with 3 different fillings. She took my design and made the cake absolutely beautiful. She also made a grooms cake that looked like a Budweiser can. She is sweet yet professional. A true artist!
