Marguerite's Cakes

still able to get exactly what we wanted. We ended up with a 3 layer wedding cake with Italian cream, red velvet and traditional almond and a 4 layer king cake with 2 traditional layers, Cajun praline and apple cream cheese filled. We were very pleased with the price and she sent us home with the leftovers from the tasting! She offered to allow us to make any changes up until days before our wedding and was very accommodating to all of our decoration requests! She had the most beautiful New Orleans style cake pulls to add that extra special touch and there are 40 cake stands to choose from if you wish to borrow one! Our group has even decided that we can’t wait until the wedding day and plan to order a few birthday and king cakes in the meantime to get another taste! You will not be disappointed if you order a cake of any kind from Marguerite’s!!

told them the flavors the very day we paid our deposit. Even then, our cake didn't come out the correct flavor. It had coconut in it... no one ever said coconut! The guests still enjoyed the cake, but it wasn't what we wanted. Though their cakes are good, I was overall disappointed with their service.

s and created such a beautiful cake. I was so pleased and our family and friends could not get over how fresh and tasty both cakes were.

e we are in town. Thank you all so much!

lot more at other bakeries and would not have gotten the size or quality had we not chosen Marguerite's. Truly outstanding and would not have changed a thing. I highly recommend them for any occasion but especially for a wedding.

they even allowed me to have my cake topper shipped directly to them, which was very helpful.

ake tasting consisted of six miniature cakes, and they were delicious. The owner's son talked with us while we sampled the cakes and asked what we wanted. We gave him some pictures, and he gave us a quote. It was quite expensive, but we were very impressed with the quality of the cakes. We chose our flavors, signed a contract, and paid a deposit. They even boxed up the remainder of the cake samples for us to take home, free of charge. Note that he can be a bit pushy, so if that bothers you, you may want to avoid. The decorator in charge of our cakes contacted us about a week or so before the wedding to confirm flavors and colors, and ask about any last-minute changes. All seemed to be going well. Our cakes were a standard three-tier wedding cake, and a groom's cake modeled after Mississippi State's Davis Wade Stadium. As you can see from the attached picture, the word "Mississippi" is misspelled on the cake. This would normally not be a big deal, but considering the groom's cake alone was several hundred dollars, and both cakes together were over $1200, we felt like there should be a bit more attention to detail. And as you can see from the picture, the general shape of the stadium is good, but there's not a lot of detail there. In regards to the cake itself - we were told that some of the cake would be rice crispies instead of actual cake because of the complexity of the design. We were fine with this. As it turned out, only the field was actual cake, and the rest were rice crispies treats. This was pretty disappointing as well - we felt like we should be getting more cake than that. The irritating part about all of this is the non-existent customer service after the fact. We returned the cake stand on the Monday following the wedding and asked to speak to someone about the cake. The young woman at the counter somewhat rudely informed us that the decorator that made our cake was not there that day, and suggested that I should call back another day. I did so, and the decorator was already gone for the day. I called one final time and spoke to a decorator, but apparently not THE decorator that made our cakes. The woman took my information and informed me that the owner should call me back after the fourth of July holiday. This hasn't happened. I finally was fed up with the lack of response, and posted a picture of the misspelling on the cake on their Facebook wall, and asked if everyone would ever get back with me in regards to the mistake. Marguerite's promptly deleted my comment, but did call and speak to my wife. The owner's attitude was awful. She said it was a $1500 cake that we only paid $600 for (apparently meaning we shouldn't expect a complete cake), and that an independent designer did the cake, not an in-house one (ditto). Absolutely terrible attitude and after-service. It's tough to write this review because of the many good cakes we've received over the years from Marguerite's, but to have paid so much money and see something so sloppy, and get such awful service after the fact is unacceptable. They have lost an entire family of business, a family that generally purchased a cake for nearly every birthday gathering every year.

lution to keep the cake topper standing pretty!!!!!! The cake flavor choices was endless!!! We were given at least ten different flavors to try and taste and then we were able to pick a different flavor for each of our layers of the wedding cake!!!! They accommodated our unique groom's cake design with ease and enthusiasm! They called after they received the artwork to make sure they completely understood what we were looking for in the design and the correct colors! I was ecstatic when I saw our cakes being brought in the morning of the wedding!!!! I can't thank Marguerite's enough for the amazing job they did!

n handle that) so for me I love the art of negotiations so he could not push me to do anything that I did not want to do. We brought them a picture of a cake & the cake they delivered looked very amateur-ish. So overall the look of the cake was not impressive but our guests did complement us on the taste of the cake. We had red velvet layer & a strawberry & cream layer as well as a chocolate gnosh (sp?) grooms cake. Both cakes tasted good. So they get a 5 star for taste & 3 star for looks which equals 4 stars.

rated differently than the pictures she had in the store, so we found one online, and she decorated it perfectly!
