Maliha Creations

We hired Anita (Maliha Creations) for our wedding. From the tasting all the way to the big day, we were so pleased with her services. We enjoyed designing our cake with Anita from the ground up, and she perfectly executed on our creative vision. We received numerous compliments from our guests about our wedding cake. Not only was our cake beautiful, but it was absolutely delicious, and we couldn't be more grateful. We highly recommend Maliha Creations for your wedding cake needs.

Anita made us a wonderful wedding cake! We had a lemon cake with raspberry buttercream and fresh raspberries - lined buttercream with fresh flowers for our late June wedding. It was delicious! We were on the fence about having a cake altogether but after doing a cake tasting (take away because COVID precautions), we knew we had to go with Maliha Creations. Would recommend!

Anita is SO talented!! She made the most beautiful and delicious wedding cake for us. We had our tasting during covid, so Anita gave us a to-go box of cake flavors and frostings for us to take home and try to make sure we still got to have that experience. Anita is so wonderful and easy to work with and will go above and beyond for her clients. We would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!

Anita is incredible - she helped me and my husband craft our dream cake remotely as we were unable to travel due to our schedules and the pandemic. Anita was super helpful, responsive, and flexible - and the cake was gorgeous, delicious, and exactly what we wanted!

We were in the market for a specific style of cake (the look of birch bark) and found a lot of bakers whose designs were…lacking (okay, some we saw were downright sad). Neither of us are big fans of fondant, so add on top of that the challenge of finding a baker talented enough to create something without relying on fondant. Anita showed us pictures of a similar cake she did in the past and it was much more attractive than most of the others, and we’d get it with European-style real buttercream frosting. We signed up for a cake tasting the next time we were in town (visiting family for Christmas) and she made sure to work us in, since we had very limited overlap. We were thrilled when her cake was also scrumptious! We probably would have settled for mediocre, given the poor designs we had seen elsewhere, but we lucked out and got both beauty and taste, with Maliha Creations! The sheer number of different options and combinations at the tasting were a little overwhelming (and didn’t even include all the options from the website!) and we were lucky there wasn’t a tasting after us, since we definitely went over our time slot, but we had a lot of fun and came up with two different combos that we were really excited about. At the wedding reception and in the days after, we received many compliments from guests about both the simple natural elegance of the cake’s look as well as the quality and deliciousness of the unique flavor combinations. After the tasting, it was just a matter of confirming the number of servings and asking her the occasional question (how big should our cake stand be, how big can our cake topper be, etc.) and she handled almost everything else! Our florist left some flowers for her and they were beautifully integrated. Our biggest regret, and no fault of Maliha Creations, is that we didn’t get to try one of our two cake flavors. We didn’t do our cake cutting aggressively enough and ended with basically just frosting, for our first choice flavor. When we later got around to grabbing cake, all of that flavor was gone (they served it first)! So, we know what flavor we’re getting with our complimentary first anniversary cake!!

Anita is fantastic. I loved my wedding cake so much! I showed her exactly what I wanted on pinterest and she made my cake even better. Great to work with!

From the first tasting to the end result, Anita from Maliha Creations was a joy to work with. Not only are her cakes DELICIOUS, but she is a true artist and so open to experimenting with new techniques. We were thrilled with our choice and can't wait to order an anniversary cake next year!

Anita was fantastic! Our wedding cake was not only delicious, but was absolutely beautiful. She also made the desserts for our "sweets table", which were all out of this world. Ami styled our dessert table and it was stunning and elegant. We received SO many compliments on our sweets table and wedding cake. I highly recommend Maliha Creations!

While I’m sure Anita delivers wonderful cakes as the other reviews state, she is incredibly terrible at communication. When inquiring about a cake tasting for our wedding date, she took a few days but eagerly responded. She was unavailable for the tasting dates we requested, so we settled on a different date 3 weeks out. Anita said she’d send all the details for the location of the tasting. After 2 weeks of waiting I still never heard any information about the tasting. I reached out for confirmation that we still had a tasting scheduled for the prearranged date and asked again for the details so we could plan our visit to Charlottesville. It took her a week to respond, and 5 days before the scheduled tasting she finally shared that she had already booked our wedding date, and neglected to mention this any sooner. She has now put us further behind in our planning and I was incredibly dissatisfied with the lack of communication. When she notified us of our date being booked, she did share suggestions for other bakeries, but it would have been preferable to have known that our scheduled cake tasting was canceled sooner. Other bakeries we reached out to had the decency to share with us that they already had inquiries for our date before scheduling a tasting. It did not seem to be a concern for Anita to do this. Although I cannot speak to the quality of her cakes (they truly look wonderful and that’s why we reached out) I would NOT recommend Maliha Creations purely for the difficulty in communicating and scheduling and lack of decency to notify us that our tasting had been canceled. I truly wonder if we hadn’t reached out for confirmation of our tasting date if she even would have told us.

I don't have enough praise for Anita for her stunning work that she did for our wedding in late June!!!! The green & gold design we ultimately chose was a perfect blend of minimalist flare and cohesion we were looking for. And of course, it was SO SO DELICIOUS -- we love how she does flavors and had the most wonderful time planning the flavor for each tier of cake. We also felt so welcome in her home at our tasting/planning meeting earlier in the year. ❤️ Lastly, she was the main vendor that other vendors from our team spoke highly of when they learned that we were working with her, which was such a joyful and comforting experience. Thanks for everything, Anita!!! I REALLY do hope we get to work together again soon!!!

If you’re looking for someone to create your dream wedding cake to perfection, look no further than Anita! From our initial tasting, we knew Anita was going to be a fabulous partner – her glowing personality and creativity immediately shined through. While we wanted a classic buttercream frosting with delicate flowers on the exterior of the cake, we wanted to add some fun flair to the inside layers to make it both memorable and delicious. Anita rattled off dozens of fun combinations she’d done in the past – and we decided to go with two tiers of: vanilla butter cake with 2 layers raspberry jam schmear with vanilla buttercream and fresh raspberries and 1 layer of lemon curd, and two tiers of: double chocolate cake with 2 layers of Oreo buttercream and 1 layer of bourbon buttercream, all with a vanilla buttercream lined exterior with fresh florals… and it came out perfectly! Guests raved about it – and my husband and I are eagerly counting down the days to our anniversary so we can enjoy our top tier :)! In short: If you’re looking for a wedding cake that is both delicious and beautiful – and made by a kind, creative, joyful person, go with Anita—you’ll be so happy you did!

If you want an absolutely stunning piece of art, that tastes as good as it looks, at your wedding, my husband and I highly recommend getting your cake from Maliha Creations! Anita is extremely talented and an absolute joy to work with when creating a cake that will represent you on your big day. When we first reached out to book her, She invited us at her lovely home in Charlottesville for our tasting. Immediately upon arriving, she provided us coffee and an assortment of every type of cake and filling she could offer. There must have been 20-30 different cake types, fillings, jams and buttercreams that could be used, each one incredibly delicious. She made us feel so relaxed and excited about trying everything! We were able to choose two flavors, and we decided to pick a vanilla cake with fresh lemon curd layers and a center layer of vanilla buttercream and strawberries for the bottom tier, and the two tops tiers were a chocolate cake with Raspberry buttercream and jam and a center layer of chocolate ganache. Anita was also so easy to work with in terms of design. She immediately grasped my concept and provided a lot of suggestions on what would work best aesthetically and how she could create the perfect succulents for our cake (my wedding had succulents as the main plant/flower in all the design elements). She also offered to make us a little detail on the back which could represent something special about us as a couple. On the day of, we were absolutely blown away! Our imaginings couldn’t even come close to how gorgeous that cake was. Anita hand crafted each individual succulent and leaf, and the bottom tier was absolutely exquisite, the ruffled element played so wonderfully with the top two tiers which were smooth white, and the personal element at the back of the cake was perfectly sculpted! We actually felt bad when we had to cut it! Everyone at our wedding kept telling us how delicious each flavor was and we couldn’t have been more pleased! Thank you so much for a show stopping cake Anita!

Our cake was AMAZING! We loved that we had the chance to have TWO flavor options and our guests love it too. The cake looked amazing the day of- almost too good to eat! Anita was easy to work with and just a complete joy! 10/10 would absolutely recommend!

Anita did an AMAZING job on our wedding cake! Not only was it absolutely beautiful, but it tasted PHENOMENAL! Not too sweet, just we like it. She also offers an amazing tasting experience, where you and your fiancé can sit quietly and sample dozens of combinations of fillings, frostings, and cake flavors until you find the perfect cake for you. I would recommend Anita at Maliha Creations to anyone in the area!

Anita is so incredibly talented and creative -- we feel so lucky to have found her for our special day! We wanted to do something really fun and colorful for our cake and were able to pull a reference image for her. Turns out, her creation was more beautiful than the picture we shared!! She is so lovely and warm and made the whole process fun for us. She was such an amazing collaborator and we were so impressed by her talent! We cannot recommend her enough!
