Maxine’s Catering and Bittersweet Bakers

I worked with Maxine for a wedding cake and a surprise groom’s cake for my guy. They were both stunning and delicious!
Our wedding cake was a three tier honey/​rosemary cake with a layer of blackberry preserve and vanilla Italian buttercream, frosted in vanilla Italian buttercream. Our guests were blown away! (If I didn’t save the top tier I wouldn’t have any left.) I showed her a photo of how I wanted the frosting to look and she executed flawlessly. She delivered herself and decorated with fresh flowers and a topper we provided.
The groom’s cake was an add-​on closer to the wedding. I asked her for a marble cake with layer of choc/​hazelnut ganache (my fiancé’s original choice of flavor for our cake). We hike a lot, so she made the cake look like a campsite with tent and working fire pit! She delivered it in a box so he wouldn’t see it and he was so happy!!!
The hardest part of working with Maxine will be figuring out which flavors to select — everything we tried was amazing!
I’ll definitely be working with Maxine again so book her quickly :)
FIVE STARS IS NOT ENOUGH!!! Thank you Maxine!!!

Maxine is a master of her craft, its as simple as that. My wife and I got married up at Plattekill Mountain on 5÷3÷2015, and we found Maxine about a month and a half earlier when we realized all of a sudden «HOLLY S**T! WE NEVER FOUND A WEDDING CAKE!». Maxine was extremely friendly and extremely reassuring when she heard our timetable. My wife had a couple pictures of cakes on her phone that she had found on Pinterest (?) and asked Maxine if it would be possible to put the pieces together to make one cake. Her answer was, «Of Course!», followed by «When can you guys come up to taste/​discuss?».
We ended up going with a Lemon/​Poppy Seed cake that had a Strawberry filling, and buttercream icing. IT WAS AMAZING!!! And the finished product (which we didn’t see until the day of the wedding) was enough to bring my bride-​to-​be to tears of joy when I sent her a picture of it!
Our day would not have been what is was if we hadn’t found Maxine, and hadn’t had the beautiful cake I am posting pictures of. Our guests ate the whole thing, we had no left overs, and one of our guests ate so many slices of cake that the servers knew his name by the end of the night!!!
Maxine,
THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH!!! Erica and I could not be more happy! You are the best at what you do, and have nothing but 5-​star ratings for a reason, KEEP IT UP!!!
With Love,
Mr. & Mrs. William Reines

Absolutely PERFECT wedding cake!
Maxine worked with us to create a gluten-​free chocolate cake with chocolate ganache/​raspberry filling, and white buttercream frosting for 135 guests.
It was so fabulous, and on a 90 degree day it held up just beautifully.
She worked directly with our florist (Dennis at Green Cottage in High Falls) and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Just cut and eat and say «I can’t believe it’s gluten-​free!»
:)
Thanks Maxine!
