Martines was so easy to work with to design our wedding cake! Our cake and cupcakes were a huge hit, and we felt like we got a great deal overall. Thank you so much, Martines!
Our wedding cake was beautiful and tasted amazing!
Our wedding cake was a simple two tier cake that could easily serve 50+ people.
The frosting was delicious. We had champagne strawberry I believe…
This place is amazing!
AMAZING! Martine's delivered our cake, cupcakes, & cookies on time & helped set-up the table display. Our guests really complimented our desserts (even some out-of-town guests stopped by their store to grab more to take home). Reasonably priced with great work. I would absolutely choose them again.
My husband and I are not a fan of sweets and I have always hated cake icing. So when we were planning for our wedding in April, the cake was the part we were the least excited for.
We went to Martine’s to do our cake tasting and everyone that helped us was so nice and accommodating.
We chose 6 flavors of cake to try. I wasn’t even wanting to take that first bite but I’m so glad that I did! The cake tasted fantastic and the icing was light and fluffy and not too sweet. I surprised myself by eating all 6 samples, icing and all!
The pistachio cake was our favorite and we got a slice to take home when we went back to pay off our balance.
We’ve almost been married a month now and people are still raving and asking about our wedding cake!
Martine’s is delicious and affordable and true artists! We highly recommend them and want to go get brunch at their cafe one day. If the desserts were that good, the other food must be as well!
My wedding cake was exactly what I wanted - gorgeous and delicious! The team at Martine's was professional, very easy to communicate with, and accommodated last minute changes to my cake design. I would highly recommend!
Martine's was an amazing experience for Madeline and I. We visited Martine's about a year before we got married for a tasting and planning session in which they helped us design the cakes and we got to try some of their delicious creations! Their cakes are both beautiful and delicious, if you do use them, you must try the pistachio cake. We had both a grooms cake and a wedding cake. They worked very well with our other vendors to make sure that the wedding day flowed seamlessly and everything was where it should be when it needed to be there. We couldn't recommend them highly enough!
I surprised my husband with a grooms cake for our wedding and I couldn’t have don’t it without the help from the Martine’s team and specifically Chelsea. She was wonderful and I couldn’t have imagined a better cake!
Our cake was absolutely perfect and so beautiful!! We had so much fun tasting all of their cakes and choosing our wedding cake. Everyone at Martine's was so nice and helpful! We couldn't have asked for a better group of people to work with. We can't wait to come back for our anniversary and visit! Thank you for making us the most perfect wedding cake!!
We loved everything about Martine’s from the wonderful tasting experience and design session to the leftovers still in our freezer. We did two flavors but the best by far was the pistachio with French buttercream and apricot jam. Everyone loved the cake and had seconds! Unfortunately:fortunately the catering staff at our venue cut the pieces really small so we had a ton leftover after our small wedding. We vacuum sealed chunks and have thawed them out for special occasions since our wedding day, and we still have more to enjoy in the future! Martine’s staff members are all so friendly! They delivered more than we expected!! Highly recommend!
Be sure to thoroughly know your design and exactly what you want first and close to day of. Martine’s mainly gets the 5 star solely on flavor of cake and overall taste. They do a great job in accordance to what you want for appearance.
Martines was wonderful to work with. Their cakes are all delicious and we honestly had a tough time limiting ourselves to only 3 flavors. They’re able to make the outside look gorgeous without fondant so everything both looks and tastes amazing. Our guests couldn’t stop complementing us on the cake.
Outstanding quality and customer service!! Martines works beautifully with the florist to make things seamless. I wish I could post a photo here. Fabulous experience!!
Martine’s has a great variety of styles and flavors of cake. They are able to design what ever you want. They will work with you to make your vision come to life.
Chelsea did an amazing job designing the wedding cake of my dreams! When we went in for the first tasting I wasn’t sold on some of the flavors they offered but was very interested in some flavors that I knew they had just didn’t have in front of us. They were kind enough to schedule a second tasting so I could try the extra flavors. I went with pistachio, bourbon with Nutella filling, and champagne with raspberry filling. Not a single crumb was left after the wedding!
She bakes the best cakes. Our wedding cake was beautiful and exactly the way we wanted. I just wish we’d gotten to eat more of it!
What's not to love? I had a bad experience with my daughter's cake, so I went to Martine's Pastry shop several times before we met to discuss the cake. This gave me the opportunity to try the various flavors before the tasting as they are typically produced. At the tasting, Chelsea did an excellent job steering us in the right direction regarding the cake design. We were able to try one additional flavor at the tasting and loved it so much we chose it for our second layer. The Pistachio, Strawberry, and Carrot were a hit. There were only three pieces of cake left over at the end of the night. Martine assembled the cake on site and it was beautiful. Everyone was very impressed. I strongly recommend Martine's Pastries for wedding cakes and any other of your bakery needs.
Martine makes the best cake hands down. The flavors are AMAZING. We are already ready for our year anniversary so we can eat the strawberry cake. The design was so gorgeous, and completely us. They took the vision in my head, and did some magic to make it come to reality.
My guests absolutely loved the cake. I'm not super surprised about that since I get Martine's all the time! We had two flavors - pistachio and blackberry lemon. Chelsea from Martine’s was also super patient with me throughout the consultation process. The cake was beautiful!
Amazing! By accident we showed up a day early for our tasting. That did not phase the Baker. She sat us down, provided a tasting, and was joyous. This place is more expensive but worth the extra money! Very Professional, and best tasting cakes.
Martine’s was SO easy and amazing to work with. Our cake was absolutely beautiful and tasted amazing. It turned out even better than I had had in mind! We went with pistachio (which we never would have guessed would have been our favorite flavor beforehand!) and champagne/strawberry, both very good. The did a wonderful job setting everything up and made everything so easy and stress-free for us. Thanks for everything, Martine’s! Can’t recommend you all enough :)
Amazing Cake! Awesome people! Beautiful Display. I cannot enough good things about Martine's. The pistachio was a hit :)
Amazing. I loved my cake tasting experience meeting with Martine and from there on, was absolutely confident we were going to have a beautiful (and delicious) cake. She was so gracious and warm, and a total delight, much like her cakes. So thankful I went with her!
I adore Martine, she done a wonderful job on listening to exactly what we wanted and created the wedding cake of our dreams! And her pistachio flavor is the best cake I have ever tasted in my life!
Unique and delicious flavors! Everyone was obsessed with the flavors. We got Pistachio, Rum, chocolate bourbon and marble. We had a Harley Davidson cake, and it turned out just like the picture! Amazing definitely order from them
Martine's went above and beyond on the cake for my wedding day! The cake was the talk of the wedding, and everyone was posting pictures of it on social media the next day! I called them a couple months before the wedding with the crazy/risky idea of having the cake sit on a chandelier, while suspended from the ceiling. Martine and her team were immediately on board with this vision! We discussed the logistics of the plan and what they needed a couple of times to ensure everything would work out, and it was so worth it! The cake also tasted absolutely amazing, which was important to me because cake is one of my favorite foods! :) I highly recommend working the Martine and her team and wouldn't hesitate to do it all over again! Her work is spectacular, and she is a joy to work with!
Get the lemon cake!
We absolutely loved our wedding cake (married 10/1/16); everything from the flavors to the design - Martine's Pastries has the best of the best in regards to ingredients and amazing decorators on staff to help your dream cake come to life. They were willing to make a square cake and let us borrow a square cake stand. I would definitely say that if food quality is high on your priority list, then Martine's is one of the best options in the Lexington area.
Perfect wedding cake!. It was delicious and the decoration was amazing. Working with Martine's was very easy and fast.
We were in complete awe over our wedding cake that was created by Martine and her team! They made our vision come to life and it was so breathtaking! Not only is she beyond talented and creative, but she is very accommodating & a joy to work with! Our wedding cake and the assorted desserts she made for our guests (macaroons, lemon tarts, and chocolate/heath bars) were almost too beautiful to eat, and were extremely delicious at the same time!
Our wedding cake (delivered by Martine herself) was beautifully designed and Delicious (yes, with a capital D). We received so many compliments on the light, yet surprisingly flavorful pistachio cake served at our brunch wedding reception.
Planning this wedding from Ohio, we also very much appreciated Chelsea's timely and informative e-mails. Martine and her staff are a delight to work with and we recommend their work highly.
I can not even tell you how many compliments we got on our cake! It was gorgeous! She took my ideas and pictures and turned them into the most beautiful and delicious cake. I would absolutely recommend Martine.
I had a very specific look that I was going for with my wedding cake. Martine and her staff were happy to oblige all of my requests. We purchased our own fondant mold to create the lace effect that I wanted on the cake and they were more than happy to play around with the mold to see if it was something they could do. The end result was breathtaking! And the cake was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the pistachio! I tasted it at a wedding show and that's what got me hooked!
Absolutely loved our wedding cake made by Martine. We had multiple compliments on how great the cake tasted. Our favorite was the raspberry filling and her butter cream icing is just heavenly.
Ya'll...this cake. Was so good! Martine invited us to come do a tasting and we did not want to leave. In addition, the cake detail is stupendous! We wanted a very specific theme, and we are still getting compliments on how cool it was! To cut down on cost, she let us provide the topper--I thought that offer was neat. Wonderful to work with, and Martine's Pastries takes care of all delivery, plus they had the top layer boxed for us with directions on how to store it properly.
I had the opportunity to meet Martine in 1999. Over the years, I sampled her cakes and pastries. I knew when I became engaged, I had to work with Martine for my wedding cake. She was wonderful to work with - from the planning to execution. My wedding cake was not only beautiful, it tasted so good. I chose to serve fondant over buttercream icing with a champagne flavored cake. I loved and my husband loved it. Our guests were so impressed. Martine's
Pastries did not disappoint. It was actually what I envisioned for my wedding day.
Martine was so thoughtful and creative with our cakes! Not to mention the moistness, and flavor in her cakes are amazing! For our wedding, Martine provided us with a 4 layer wedding cake with pistachio flavored cake, and a yellow butter with lemon filling cake covered in buttercream frosting. The groom's cake was bourbon chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. I brought her a picture of a maker's mark design for the groom's cake and she created it perfectly! Martine is a true pastry genius. Highly recommend!
I can't even put into words how amazing their cakes are! And we loved working with Martine! Our wedding cake looked beautiful, was so light and moist, and like nothing I had ever tasted! Our guests went through all 3 tiers in no time and they enjoyed every bite! With our reception being outdoors in the middle of summer, I was very pleased that the cake stayed together in such hot weather. My husband and I regret not having someone save us a piece, since the only bite we had was smeared all over our faces. But we're excited to have our pistachio flavored topper on our first anniversary! Yum!!
Martine's pastries made a beautiful wedding cake for us, and an equally wonderful groom's cake. We could not have been happier! As a baker myself, I'm a tough critic, and her cake was moist and the icing was delicious. Her pistachio flavored cake with white chocolate mousse filling was our favorite, with the Kentucky bourbon cake flavor coming in a close second. Her pricing was extremely reasonable and she was very easy to work with. She created the perfect designs for our cakes from our phone conversations (we planned a destination wedding in Kentucky) and we were extremely pleased with the outcome. We definitely recommend her cakes for any event!
Martine knocked it out of the park with my wedding cake. It was exactly what I wanted - but even more beautiful than I expected! She literally made a masterpiece, and it also tasted incredible (and of course I tasted all three flavors!).
In addition to the fantastic finished product - Martine also made the designing and planning part fun and simple as well. I would highly recommend working with Martine's for wedding (and life!) dessert needs.
Martine makes sinfully delicious cakes and cupckes and is very flexible in terms of flavors and design. We had a cake and cupcakes and they were amazing. I would highly recommend her and can't wait to have our top layer on our anniversary!
I had the most beautiful wedding cake! Martine combined 6 different pictures I found online to make my cake uniquely mine. Each of the layers were perfectly detailed. My guests could not believe that it was all icing. Martine was wonderful to work with, always available to chat about the theme of my cake and the grooms cake. The cake was so yummy and moist and her French buttercream icing that is hand made makes her cakes to die for.
The Martine I worked with is in Lexington, not Nicholasville, so I hope I'm reviewing the right one! Martine was wonderful to work with! The cake turned out exactly like I pictured, and it was delicious! Martine was very helpful with designing the groom's cake as well. I wanted something whimsical, but elegant. It came out perfect!
We chose white cake with rasberry filling and received many compliments. Martine is a true artist. We showed her a picture of a cake we liked and she re-created it perfectly.
Our cakes turned out not only amazingly beautifully, but soooo delicious. Martine took a picture of a cake we liked and turned it into an even better reality. She also took just a few shots of some groomscakes I liked and made the most creative cake out of it, Ryan looooved it, thank you Martine! We can't wait for next year to eat some anniversary cake, yum!! We would highly recommend Martine's pastries for anyone having a need for a cake or delicious dessert..... PS. The Macaroons are great too! Ryan and Jane Mosser
Martine made a beautiful cake with the most amazing icing! We had cupcakes and cheesecakes that would melt in your mouth! Everyone loved them! Not only was it beautiful it was the best wedding cake and cupcakes I've ever tasted.
We ordered a chocolate cake with bourbon - YUM! The cake was super moist and the frosting was outstanding. All of our guests were super impressed.
I am not really a cake person, but Martine's cakes are so delicious! We enjoyed trying all of the flavors and decided to give our guests several options. My favorites would be the lemon and chocolate bourbon. I cannot wait to eat our anniversary cake!
Martine made our wedding cake a showpiece at our reception that everyone loved! Not only was it lovely but it tasted amazing. We had a pistachio cake with buttercream icing that people could not get enough of :) Martine was a pleasure to do buisness with and I would recommend her to anyone!
Martine made the best wedding cake I have ever had. It was gorgeous and our guests loved it! I would recommend Martine to anyone!
