Wow - I cannot say enough great things about Mark and his team!! Mark was incredibly attentive, professional, and exceeded all of my expectations! The entire process from tasting, to planning, and finally the day of the wedding was easy (from my seat) and executed perfectly. As a couple, Dan and I couldn't have asked for more from a vendor!
We had a two tier cake (bottom tier - champagne cake with lavender buttercream & top tier - almond cake with lemon curd and cream cheese buttercream). Both were PHENOMINAL! I will definitely be a returning customer for any and all cakes I need in the future. Thank you Mark & Team!
Mark and his partner created the most beautiful cake and extremely delicious cupcakes for our wedding. With 4 different flavors to choose from, it was a hit with all the guests, though I will say the champagne cake with raspberry filling was clearly a guest favorite as there were no leftovers! Highly recommend Meraki cakes- throughout the whole process that were communicative and organized and really just a super friendly team to work with.
I take dessert very seriously - I like to bake, myself, and my standards are high. Mark Hill made us the best cake I've ever had, and the Swiss meringue buttercream was fabulous. He was receptive to our needs and price points, almost too generous with his deals, and incredibly warm and welcoming. I would hire him again in a heartbeat - highly recommend!
We had a destination wedding in Breckenridge, so we fully trusted Mark to make a cake for us without meeting or any tastings. To say that he met our expectations is an understatement! The cake tasted amazing and was the perfect size for our 30 guest intimate wedding.
We were so incredibly happy working with Mark! I cannot recommend him more for any cake needs, and definitley for your wedding! He was so patient with us as we went through three different plans for wedding cakes, never making me feel like I was asking too much. He also listened to us so carefully as we described what we wanted, and created a cake that reflected our favorite flavors! He created a maple bacon cake (with bacon bits!), chocolate ganache filling, and peanut butter frosting. Our guests LOVED the cake - as did we! We will be ordering this cake from him again in the future for sure. I can't say enough about how much we loved our experience working with Mark - and recommend him 100%!
Mark is awesome. He is exactly the kind of baker we wanted to work with! He was patient with me while I went back and forth between designs and flavors, and we ultimately settled on a very sleek, modern yet classical double barrel wedding cake. The clean white, with the navy line and flowers, was gorgeous! None of my family or friends has ever had a wedding cake like that! We also chose Meraki because of the quality of cake and flavors. The cake was dense and flavorful and I cannot wait to order another one! Thanks, Mark!
Mark from Meraki went above and beyond our expectations! He took exactly what we envisioned and turned it into an amazing cake that was even better than we could have imagined! We can’t thank (or recommend) him enough!
I cannot recommend Meraki Cakes & Bakes enough!
My husband I live in Texas but had a destination wedding in Colorado. Our chosen venue could only create simple cakes and I knew I wanted to surprise my husband with an amazing cake that captures his personality. When I contacted Mark and explained my situation and my vision for the cake he was quick to respond and worked with me to design the perfect cake within my budget (all via email).
Fast forward to the wedding day, the cake was more amazing than I ever could have imagined! As awesome as it looked from the outside it was twice as good to ear! I actually preferred it over our wedding cake. My husband and I got so many compliments, and everyone loved it! Needless to say my expectations were far exceeded! You won't go wrong choosing Meraki Cakes & Bakes for your special cake!
Mark was great to work with! He gave us the opportunity to be flexible and executed without a hitch! It was so good, we had none left over!
Great service, our cake was lemon poppy seed with raspberry filling, it was really good. I loved our design it was exactly what I've dreamed of! Mark was great, he made sure everything I wanted was on point for my wedding day! I would go there again for other events!!
I absolutely recommend Meraki for your wedding! Mark was incredibly easy to work with. He met with us multiple times to make sure we got everything we dreamed of out of our wedding cake. Mark helped us achieve the vision we had for our cake aesthetically, and the quality/taste of the cake itself was beyond what we could have dreamed! We received multiple compliments on our cake because of the great work by Mark.
My husband and I met Mark at a bridal shower earlier this year. We told Mark that we wanted a cake topper of our matching tattoos. He gladly accepted the challenge and told us that he was looking forward to doing something different. Mark kept in contact with me on a regular basis through email on the design. I met up with him to finish designing our wedding cake a few weeks prior to the big day. We did a traditional white three tier cake, marble flavor, and snicker-doodle filling. Our Cake topper was a double heart with an infinity symbol, flowers cascaded from the second tier to the base. It was exactly what we wanted, not to mention extremely delicious. I cannot say enough good things about Mark, he works his magic in the kitchen.
Mark was absolutely amazing!! We were able to come up with a new creation together for our flavors that made our wedding even more unique. Our cake was beautiful and just what we had in mind. Our wedding was a little over a month ago and people are STILL taking about the cake and how it was “the best cake they’ve ever had”! Besides just the cake, Mark is so easy to get along with and we had a blast through the whole process. I recommend him to everyone I can!!
Mark Hill, Meraki Cakes and Bakes, was the BEST! We were so pleased that he was willing to incorporate some of my own recipes into our daugher's wedding cake, and cupcakes, which made the day even more special with the tastes of her childhood. Everything tasted incredible!
Mark was accommodating in every way. He arranged with the wedding planner for pick up of the cake in Denver for our wedding in the mountains, and everything arrived in perfect condition. I recommend Mark whole heartedly. You couldn't ask for a better baker!
The cakes were one of the BEST wedding cakes I’ve ever tasted. They don’t only look great, they taste great. I would highly recommend. They matched the excact design of the cake we wanted. Never once worried about communication either. The owner is great at keeping you updated and was always on time.
We chose to work with Mark because of his creative passion for baking. He listened carefully as we shared out vision of the wedding and, because he doesn't bake from a cookie cutter mind set, he was able to create exactly what we imagined. He was excited along with us to work with the collection of glass platters we collected from the antique mart, making the presentation beautiful. Pricing was very reasonable! Mark remained in contact as the date approached, was really fun to work with and went above/beyond in set up. The poppyseed/lavender cake was amazingly delicious!
Mark, we wanted to thank you for the unbelievable effort and care you put into making our wedding cake. It was an unorthodox pumpkin/chocolate chip cake with chocolate icing and the most beautiful turquoise flower on top. Your cake was a masterpiece and everyone raved about the taste and appearance! In fact, it has been a month and our family members are still talking about it. We froze a couple of pieces to eat on our first anniversary, but we both agreed that there is little chance it will last even half that long! We decided that instead, we will just have to order another cake for our anniversary…
Thank you again, your cake was truly the highlight of our wedding day! We will absolutely be recommending you to all of our friends and anyone who does (or doesn’t) ask!
Mark and Meraki Cakes was referred to me by a friend - what a good friend that is! Mark made all the cupcakes for our mountain wedding party. We had many different flavors and they were seriously ALL delicious! My friend brought them up from Denver and Mark was very sweet in packaging them tightly so they would look amazing through the travels. You don't know how excited I was when I woke up in the morning and there were a few leftover - who said you can't eat cupcakes for breakfast??? :-)
Meraki Cakes created the most DELICIOUS cake and cupcakes for our mountain wedding! From the first contact Mark was a pleasure to work with. He covered all of the details and answered any questions we had with grace. Our favorites were the Red Velvet and Pumpkin, but the vanilla and chocolate were a total hit as well (so so yummy)!!
His prices are very fair, and one of our best investments for our wedding reception.
We give Meraki Cakes four thumbs up!!
My husband didn’t not have many wedding requests, except for one. He wanted for someone to replicate his grandmother’s Italian Wedsing Cake recipe. I contacted Meraki Cakes and Bakes with the request, and Mark was happy to accept the challenge! He madeus two identical looking cakes try— grandmother’s recipe and the recipe he generally uses. After a few bites, my husband pointed at one of the cakes and said “that’s grandma’s.” We we’re so happy that mark was able to replicate the cake! Not only did it taste like grandmother’s, it also looked exactly what I invisioned—elegant, with beautiful calla lilies! Meraki Cakes and Bakes’ creations are true works of art!
