Love Magpies! I used them for my wedding cake. It was delicious and beautiful, and the entire process was excellent. Great communication, easy to work with, flexible (I had a Covid wedding, June 2020) - overall a great experience!

Magpies did an absolutely incredible job on both our wedding and groom's cake! We did two cake tastings with Magpies and absolutely fell in love with their fun flavors and the stunning cakes they made in the past. We provided them with pictures...

from Pinterest and they were absolutely picture perfect- the colors and textures were exactly what we were looking for, and they specifically purchase a cake stand we were able to rent to complement it. For the wedding cake we decided on three tiers with different flavors, textures, and colors on each... a lot to go wrong, but everything was perfect: First layer: vanilla cake with raspberry filling. Second layer: chocolate cake with hazelnut filling. Third layer: vanilla cake with strawberry shortcake filling. Groom's cake: Chocolate Guinness cake with Bailey's cream cheese filling. How fun! I have never seen a cake so gorgeous, and it still tasted wonderful! Instead of saving the top layer, we are making a special trip on our one year anniversary to recreate our first bite with a fabulous and fresh mini-cake!

We also had several dozen assorted cupcakes - they have regular sized, and mini-sized, so we did a mix of both, in their "deluxe" assorted flavors. The display was so pretty! I couldn't keep people away from the cupcakes - they were mostly eaten before we even cut our cake. I would highly recommend Magpie's. Their cakes and cupcakes are delicious, and so charming. I know they do really elaborate cakes, but I really just wanted something that looked like real food, real dessert at least - and that is exactly what they made for us. They are easy to work with, and it is just obvious they take great pride in making desserts that people enjoy.

I'm surprised at this review, as the bride told us everything was delicious, and she seemed satisfied with how it was resolved. This is one of those times where the circumstances were beyond out control, and we did everything we could to remedy the situation. Things like this rarely happen, and when they do, we try our best to make it up. I'm not sure what else we could have done.

When I got back the quote, I felt that it was very reasonable. After having explained the practicality of the experience, I can tell you about the fun details. I have to say that the cake was tramendous in every way. It was very tall and simply elegant and beautiful. It tasted like a dream. Everyone complimented the cake. Everyone said that it looked like it was fake, because it was so beautifully executed. I only wish that I could post a picture on here. The cake truly put the icing to my wedding day. We loved it and would recommend the bakery to anyone.
