Cakes By Maria Joe - Eastlake

Maria and Joe did a wonderful job with our wedding cake! We got married on Halloween and wanted to incorporate the colors without it being too crazy and they delivered. On top of that, the cake was absolutely delicious.

Best pepperoni bread!! My teenager has to stop there on the way to soccer on Saturday mornings! Maria always checks to see if she has a hot one out of the oven for her

I will stop there every chance I get. Everything was very fresh and delishious. I just wish it was closer from where I live.

Narrowly avoided a cake-tastrophe for my wedding. Maria, the baker, wouldn 't let me do a cake tasting until a month and a half before my wedding, and when we finally did it, we were very unpleasantly shocked. The cake samples were so dry that and tasteless that I was sure she must 've let them sit in a display case for a week or else baked with sawdust instead of flour. Even my 11 year old cake fiend wouldn 't eat it! The icing was sickly sweet and almost chemical-tasting. The different cake flavors were just different icing combinations with the same two cake batters (Chocolate and yellow cake). We called and asked if this is how dried out we should expect our wedding cake to be or if this was just samples gone wrong. Maria explained that, that 's just how my cakes all are, because wedding cakes need to be super dry to hold their shape. I 'm guessing poor Maria has never been to a wedding, because never has the cake been even remotely dry at any of the weddings that I 've gone to. Additionally, she then informed me that she couldn 't accommodate my cake design because it would take at least a couple of hours to decorate, even though she had already exuberantly accepted my design plan when we first talked and showed her a photo of the cake that we were hoping to replicate. She didn 't offer to do the design if I paid more, she just flat-out refused, and said instead she could do a very small percent of the design, which for most cakes (and especially the one that I chose) would look absolutely ridiculous. I was supposed to get a free wedding cake from here as a promotion when I booked my venue, and as upsetting as it was to pass up a free cake and to look for a baker at the very last minute, it was definitely 10000000000% necessary. I 'm a budget bride and I wouldn 't even go with this bakery for free so, PLEASE, if you are a future bride reading this long ranting review right now, do yourself a favor and give this place a hard pass or I PROMISE you will regret it.

Absolutely delicious! I had some Pizza Bagels, Reuben Roll and got a maple bacon cupcake for my B-Day. SO GOOD!!
