Piece of Cake

I hired Maryn again (because she is amazing) for our wedding dessert bar and cake. She did not disappoint! Maryn created the most delicious cakes, brownies, cupcakes, and cookies. Her presentation was also so beautiful! Unfortunately, I got married on one of the hottest days of the year (and of October), but that didn’t stop Maryn from delivering her desserts in perfect condition! I’m sure it wasn’t easy to transfer everything and keep it cool. I don’t know how she did it, but really appreciate it. Thank you, Maryn, for always making the most delicious and beautiful desserts. You are the best! :)

Maryn makes amazing cakes, cookies, pies, covered Oreos… the list goes on and on! She does a lot of the baked goods for Alcove Bakery in Los Feliz and I ALWAYS ask what they have from Piece of Cake because it is hands down the best. I can’t recommend her enough — I special ordered a birthday cake for a friend that was delicious and covered in beautiful fruits! She knew exactly what size we should order for the number of people and didn’t try and sell us a larger one just because she could. Maryn goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy and filled with amazing goodness! My son is a BIG fan of her Monster Cookies at Alcove — highly recommend!

Maryn is amazing, Piece of Cake and holds up to its name! Before I discovered her I reached out to Sweet Lady Jane and all the typical pie places in LA and no one could do what I wanted. I found her through a friend who runs an incredible café and bakery (Aroma in Studio City) and she beyond delivered.
My dream was to have a groom’s pie tower for my wedding and she told me she has never done anything like it but she was willing to try. Well not only did she make this incredible work of art in the way the pie tower looked, but she came to the wedding, set it up and styled it so that it looks like it belongs in a magazine — when my photographer submits her official photos to publications, I’m sure it will be featured in a magazine!
Maryn is professional, passionate, innovative, lovely and her pies are AMAZING! They taste awesome and she really pours her heart and soul into her baking. LOVE her and her incredible baked goods! I’ve had her cakes at Aroma as well and they are unparalleled. If you need a cake or pie for a birthday, wedding or any big event, go with her, she seriously delivers!

THE MOST DELICIOUS, INCREDIBLE, BEAUTIFUL CUPCAKES!!! i cannot say enough positive things about my entire experience! Maryn replied to my email immediately, was so nice and helpful and accommodating, and she made 60 cupcakes so quickly for my bestfriends birthday and made me look like a star!!! 15 people finished them in less than an hour. i might even order more for diet cheat days. THEY ARE MY FAVORITE CUPCAKES!!!

Piece of Cake is a dream come true. Maryn made me a custom cake for my boyfriends birthday and it absolutely blew us away. I had to drive the cake down to Orange County and because of how the cake was designed, it easily could have collapsed over during the drive. Maryn packaged the cake with such care, that it arrived in OC without a scratch :) My boyfriend is not huge on sweets so getting him a cake that he could enjoy on his birthday seemed like a challenge. Inside the cake was layers on layers of Maryns light buttercream frosting, mixed with fresh berries. The cake was light and fluffy. It was a perfect combination of berries, frosting and cake without being overly sweet. An explosion of perfection was the only thing I felt while eating her cake.
I love the way Maryn designs her cakes. They are smooth, elegant and have a flare of nostalgia. They are never overdone, always classic. I appreciated how professional Maryn was throughout the ordering process. She payed attention to my requests and constructed a cake that left us incredibly satisfied!
Getting a cake anywhere but Piece of Cake, is a HUGE mistake!

I had maryn make my wedding cake and she delivered beyond expectations! I asked for a simple cake with a unique flavor combination and what I received was a gorgeous creation fit for a magazine feature that tasted like a dream. She made me a vanilla cake with honey buttercream inside and frosted with lavender vanilla buttercream. Once served, I had to beg that a piece be left for me freeze for our one year anniversary because my guests were devouring it.
What I appreciated the most was how she communicated with me throughout the process to make sure I received exactly what I wanted and she always made sure that I was happy with the creative choices she made. Obviously she knew what she was doing better than I, but it mattered that she wanted my input.
Such a positive experience working with Maryn and I now have a beautiful memory from my wedding day because of her extraordinary culinary skills.

Absolutely fantastic! I found out about Piece of Cake through a friend and I’m lucky I did. I’ve gotten a few things from them and they’ve all been wonderful. The woman who runs the place was super helpful and I’d definitely go back again. Anyone looking for personalized, hand-​crafted desserts should definitely give Piece of Cake a try!

Ordered all different flavored cookies & pastries for gifts & ate most of them myself. AMAZING! Just saw a video of her for Nestle Tollhouse talking about why she bakes & now I just want to hire her to do a baking party with a bunch of girlfriends.

Maryn has done all our events… And we do not even live in LA! She has mastered the shipping technique and never fails to deliver the best treats and desserts! We challenged her with a hybrid party (Wedding Anniversary/​Gender Reveal). Her complete understanding of what we wanted made us feel so special and they were so adorable and beautiful. Our guests could not stop talking about the taste and their personal touch.

Horrible business! What ever happened to customer service? This business doesn’t even deserve one star. Will not be returning.

Love the beautiful cakes from Maryn! I would highly recommend Piece of Cake if you want to enjoy amazing tasting treats! Great service and great prices. Her chocolate chip cookies are to die for!

Maryn is a baking angel! I ordered a cake from her for a special dinner party I was having and it was the most delicious, decadent dessert I’ve ever served at my home — all of my friends raved about it! Then, when I threw a bachelorette party for my friend, I absolutely had to go back to her and order her specialty decorated Oreos. The design totally went with my theme and made the event that much more personal, special and tasty. ;) Maryn is a consummate professional, always catering (no pun intended) to my specific needs and vision and just a joy to work with, in general. It was a pleasure to work with her and I guarantee I will be using her services in the future.

I have used Piece of Cake LA many times for a variety of different events and never once have I been disappointed. Every sweet treat is not only beautiful but it they taste better than they look. People are bowled over by how unique and delicious everything is. The chocolate covered Oreos and cake pops are beyond, as well as the home made Nutella, sea salt caramel cookies and the list goes on. You cannot go wrong using Piece of Cake LA and the owner is a pleasure to work with, she makes everything really easy. Can’t wait to place my next order!

Wow hats off to Maryn and Piece of Cake! I was in Los Angeles visiting a friend and went to a Junior League event where Maryn had a booth. Bought a dozen of her cookies to take home to my friends who raved about them. They were so good that I ordered 5 dozen of them to give a Christmas presents. They were such a hit that In February I ordered some more to give to clients as Valentine’s Day gifts. Will be ordering more of her baked goods in the future!

The cakes and confections at Piece of Cake are not only absolutely STUNNING but completely delicious! I have used Piece of Cake several times for cakes and cookies and Maryn always goes above and beyond. She does everything custom to order from the flavor of cake, filling, frosting and decoration. Maryn created a gorgeous chocolate cake with fresh raspberries and vanilla bean frosting with hundreds of hand cut edible butterflies which was the most beautiful cake I have seen (not to mention it was insanely delicious). Piece of Cake also makes the process super simple with easy pick up, delivery or shipping options. I will continue to use Piece of Cake for every occasion and rave about them!

It doesn’t get any better than Piece of Cake. Maryn is an incredible talent and a consummate professional and I can’t recommend her talents highly enough. The cake I ordered for my girlfriend was prepared beautifully. It looked so good we hesitated to eat it but we were all glad we did because there are few times in my life I can remember eating anything so delicious. I’ve also been fortunate enough to try her chocolate covered Oreo’s which are amazing and a great gift item if you don’t want to go for a cake. Looking forward to ordering from Maryn again. Piece of Cake is the best!

I spoke with Maryn on ³⁄₂₀ and I explained that I was in Tx byt my daughter lived in the LA area and wanted to get cookies at her shower. I purchased 36 cookies for $ 93 sent her a check which she cashed. I told Maryn that my daughter’s baby shower was in 4÷5÷2015 we never received the cookies. We have called and emailed her and informed her that we never received the cookies. She treated us with no respect she has the payment but we still have no product. Please do not do business with her. She is a dishonest, rude person who is okay robbing her customers I am very disappointed at how she treated us.

I really hate to write this review but I’m not sure what else to do after being treated like I didnt matter since she has other repeat customers. I found her through a junior league event where I spent money with her. I instantly loved her and her dipped oreos so much I came back and bought another bag. I knew that I had to have these at my baby shower and asked my mother who was throwing it for me to order from her. My mother placed an order and requested that we pick it up, but Maryn insisted that she ship them since she worked out of her home. My mother paid an additional $ 12 to have the order shipped. She ordered 36 dipped oreos for $ 81 plus the $ 12 for shipping. I never received the cookies even though the tracking info stated they were left in my mailbox, which isn’t possible bc I live in an apartment building. I contacted my front office to see if the cookies were there and they hadn’t received anything. They even let me go through all the packages they had in the back. We contacted Maryn and she said which I can happily screenshot and post, that once she handed the cookies to the post office it was no longer on her and that we needed to call the post office to locate the package. That was an extremely unprofessional way to handle paying customers, so naturally I was upset bc she refused to offer any solution, she told me she washed her hands of the situation. All I wanted was the cookies and she could have easily made another batch, but she blamed us for the missing cookies and threw in my face that she has other repeat customers. I asked for a refund and she refused and said she isn’t responsible for missing items the post office is. I felt insulted and cheated because I raved to everyone I knew about her cookies that I loved. The cookies were missing from my baby shower and I asked her if it was possible to get the cookies so that I could at least send them to my guests with their thank you letters and of course she refused since she’s not responsible for the post offices error. As a business owner its your responsibility to make sure your customers are happy and to offer solutions when there is a problem. She treated me and my family as if we were scum and that our money and business meant nothing to her since she already has customers. My feelings are still extremely hurt because I was looking forward to having these cookies. I have no cookies and my mom is out $ 93 and Maryn could care less because she already has our money and repeat customers. All I want is the cookies, but apparently that’s too much to ask for and she is refusing to correct the situation. She doesn’t care about new customers who planned on being repeat customers and quite frankly I feel robbed. I’m still hoping that she’ll develop some customer service skills and make the order we paid for, but from her emails I’m not so sure that will happen. I wouldn’t do business with anyone who is done with their paying customers once the package leaves their hands. She makes it hard for me to trust another small business who works out of their home and doesn’t have an actual bakery. I’m truly disappointed in the way I was treated by Maryn when all I want is the cookies we ordered.

Well, she did it again. I cannot say enough good things about Piece of Cake! Maryn created a six layer cake for my nephew’s 8^th birthday that he referred to as «epic». All the guests (both the adults and kids) could not stop talking about how delicious the cake was and there was quite a fight over who got the last piece — the birthday boy was the winner!

I would recommend Maryn to everyone/​anyone who is looking for an amazing baker! She exceeded my expectations! I called her in need of a wedding/​baby cake. We used the cake as the reveal to find out the sex of our baby-​to-​be. I had Maryn contact my OBGYN to secretly find out the sex of our baby, so that when we cut into the cake the blue or pink would be revealed.
I told her I wanted the outside to look wedding-​esque, but on the simple side, and then gave her free reign for the inside treatment. She ended up making the outside white buttercream with a shimmery glow and small design filagrees. so simple, and so perfect. instead of making the entire inside a color, she treated the blue (for our new baby boy) as layers of frosting. It was just perfect! Not only was the cake absolutely beautiful, but it tasted amazing!!!
I had to transport the cake to Santa Barbara in the morning, and then wait to cut into it until days later once my whole family had arrived. It remarkably stayed moist and delicious. We ended up eating it all weekend, and I can honestly say, it might have even gotten better as the days went on! just delicious!
Maryn is the best! so easy to work with. and just such a fun personality! She made my big day and big reveal not only so much fun, but so incredibly delicious. Felt so fortunate to be able to impress all members of my family (all dessert lovers)!! Would recommend her to anyone who asks!
