Reviews for Just Cake
Marina was amazing and our wedding cake was absolutely exquisite! We met with Marina in April to go over our design and to have our tasting (every flavor was great!) and the experience was by far a highlight in the wedding planning. We went through hundreds of glossy photos of previous cakes she had done, and started to discuss how to create a unique new cake that blended classical and whimsey elements together. We decided on flavors and quantity, and Marina gave us a sketch of the cake before we left.
Three months later, our sketch jumped off the page and onto the stage as the highlight of the reception. It was gorgeous, it smelled of heavenly sugar, and the taste was unmatched. I never imagined I'd have a magazing caliber cake at my wedding, but Marina provided exactly that.
Marina's cakes are fantastic. I took my brother and sister with me on a tasting since my fiance couldn't make it, and we were all blown away. Her cakes were the best I'd tasted by far. The taste and the texture were perfect. I chose her cake purely for the taste and texture. I am on a budget so I couldn't get anything that looks fancy (fondant, etc), but I'm not really one to get extravagant with a cake (well, I suppose it's pretty extravagant paying $6 a slice). I haven't had my wedding yet, so I'll be back with the final review!
8/30/08 Just checking in after the wedding! The cake (a very simple 3-tier cake with a filagree pattern) looked and tasted wonderful! We chose 2 different flavors - vanilla cake with white chocolate bavarian cream and rasberry filling and the chocolate cake with mint cookies and cream and chocolate ganache filling. I do admit that on the wedding day, the cake was not as moist as I first remembered. Still, in the end, I was very happy and pleased! My guests were quite impressed.
Marina's cakes are truly works of art. I guess that's why she's been on television. They taste great, and the styling is unbelievable.
I saw Marina on a Food Network Cake Challenge a while ago and decided to go for a tasting. It...was...YUMMY!!! I didn't know cake like this could be made. The taste of the cake was the only thing in doubt as I knew from TV that her cakes are very artistic and beautiful.
The icing on the cake is that she is very sweet herself as well =).
We will very likely be booking her soon although cost could be an issue.
Marina is very personable and friendly. She takes her work seriously and produces masterpieces! The pictures of her cakes say it all. Marina is definitely at the top of her game. If you don't want your cake to disappoint, pay a visit to "Just Cake".
