Melanie's Cakes is amazing. I sent her some photos of the cake I wanted and added some of my own ideas, and from that she made my wedding cake better than I could have ever imagined. Not only did it look absolutely stunning, but it was absolutely delicious as well. On top of baking the perfect cake, she really helped me out last minute with providing a cake stand and a cake topper to go along with it. She picked up the flowers from my florist on the day of my wedding and she dropped the cake off at the venue. I asked Melanie to send me a picture of my cake when it was ready so I could see it before dinner, and when she did that morning I screamed with Joy at how beautiful it was.
I would recommend Melanie's Cakes 100% to take the stress of your back and handling everything, as well as helping your dream cake come to life.

High price, major disappointment
I ordered a custom cake that would feed 8-10 people and was quoted $140. I received the cake and while it looks very cute, I was extremely disappointed with the size. The cake meant to feed 8-10 people was 5". How do you feed 8-10 adults with a 5" cake? I explained to Melanie I was disappointed, and the response I received was essentially a math lesson telling me how to cut the cake so each person gets a ration of 1.5" of cake. Outside of the math lesson, this cake will NOT feed 8-10 adults.
This is what $140 gets you at Melanie's Cakes. Please find somewhere else to get a cake if you're looking to feed more than yourself and maybe one other person. The size of her cakes are laughable, and you will not be able to feed your wedding party at all, unless of course you ration them on cake. Got to make sure no one takes more than their rationed 1.5 inches. So disappointing!

Carrot cake!!
We did a two tier cake, one layer carrot and 2nd layer vanilla. Both were great but the carrot cake is SO good! So happy I listened to the other reviews which mentioned this. Melanie was quick to respond and easy to work with. Would recommend

Delicious Macarons and Cake

Love love loved my cake
My guests and wedding venue were so shocked when they saw we chose carrot cake as our wedding cake and everyone loved it. Carrot cake is really hard to nail perfectly and Melanie did. Melanie was so easy to work with, she worked within my budget to give me exactly what I wanted, and most of all her cakes tasted amazing. I couldn’t believe how many other vendors told me to call them if my budget increased bc they couldn’t help me. Horrible service. Our hardest choice in the whole process was choosing flavours. Thanks Melanie

Lovely cake!
We requested a small two-tier cake and 24 cupcakes for our wedding with a succulent theme. Unfortunately for us, we were so busy on our day we didn't get to see the final cupcakes or taste the cake. But we tasted them prior and had compliments, so we're assuming everything went well. Melanie was lovely and we got to meet her during our tasting. Cake tasted great then, at least! Really wished we had a picture of the cupcakes at least.

Melanie's Cakes's reply:
Thank you Eugenie for the review! I am sorry I also didn't get a chance to take a photo of the cupcakes either and it is too bad your photographer didn't either as I would have loved to see them all set up at the late night station. I am glad your guests enjoyed them though!!
