Over priced
We wanted to order a cake from a local family owned business. Max's cakes is what I found. I went in a few times before to purchase cupcakes to decide on flavor of cake. We finally chose their strawberry shortcake flavor. What stood out to us was that the cake was light and fluffy and the buttercream filling had real strawberries. We chose to have it delivered to the restaurant where we had our event. Delivery fee was reasonable, service from the start was great, communication was clear. The cake was INCREDIBLE! Family and friends raved about it. One family who flew in from another country said the cake was worth the whole trip lol! Will definitely purchase from them again.

My brother is a huge fan of Caitlyn Clark and I asked specifically for a basketball cake that is Caitlyn Clark themed. I sent a picture of how I wanted the cake to look like and the cake came out PERFECT! I highly recommend coming to this place for cakes and will definitely be coming back in the future.

We have been picking up amazing treats from Chef multiple times now. Today, he made me a pink champagne cake for my birthday to bring back memories of one of my childhood favorites.

ordered 5 dozen custom cupcakes for my baby shower and Max followed my instructions to a T. everyone was impressed with the quality and the flavors. the textures of the cupcakes was melt-in-the-mouth and every cupcake was generously filled as well. they held their shape, had good crumb, and were sweet but not overly sweet. i asked for swiss meringue instead of buttercream frosting and Max's team delivered. fruit flavors tasted natural and not artificial. everyone raved that these were their new favorite cupcakes. the crowd favorites were oreo, strawberry shortcake, and salted caramel. pricing was fair as well. 10/10 would purchase again for another event.
Max’s Cakes exceeded my expectations! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. Max was very responsive and courteous over email, making the ordering process a breeze. Pickup on the designated day was quick and easy, with plenty of parking nearby.
My daughter handled the pickup and mentioned how much she loved the cute shop and how friendly and helpful the staff were.
As for the cake—wow! We ordered the burnt almond cake, and it was absolutely delicious. The cake itself was incredibly fresh, with a wonderfully moist texture. The whipped custard had the perfect balance of sweetness, and the crunchy sliced praline almonds on the outside added just the right contrast. Truly one of the tastiest cakes we've ever had!
Highly recommend Max’s for their amazing, top-quality baked goods and excellent customer service. We’ll definitely be back!
We got a cake and some cupcakes for our son’s 3rd birthday and I asked them to replicate the cake in A Teddy Bear’s Picnic. We were SO impressed with the outcome of it, everyone was asking where it was from. Absolutely will come back for future birthdays. 🎉
Excellent cakes. Perfect balance and not overpowering sweet where you can’t taste the type of cakes that you are
Burnt Almond cake - their most popular cake. The flavor reminded me a little bit of WholeFoods Chantilly cake, just a little and just the cake, not the frosting. And it came with some caramel slice crunchy almonds instead of Berries.
Carrot cake - really good, probably my favorite. It is very hard to find a good carrot cake that is not overly sweet.
Death by Chocolate cake - I love love dark chocolate, the lesser the sugar, milk and other junks, the better. This is not quite dark but it was good.
The frosting- 2 of out 4 family members loved it. The other 2 agreed that it was a little too sweet and I am the one of the 2. Ok, I am not complaining, I just moved the frosting away from my cake. lol
Peanut Butter cookies - very Peanut buttery and not as sweet and doughy. The perfect Peanut Butter cookie.

I ordered my birthday cake from Max's Cakes, and it was delicious. It was a chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse and miniature reese's cups. My boyfriend, who does not like overly sweet desserts, also enjoyed a slice or two of cake.
The ordering process was easy, and Max was a delight to work with in making my vision a reality.
