Stunning wedding cake for our big day
Eleanor made the cake for our wedding on 14th September.
We had a three tier cake, which Eleanor decorated to match our light blue and white wedding theme. Eleanor also worked directly with our florist to add fresh flowers to the cake. It looked absolutely stunning.
The three cake flavours (we had carrot, chocolate and white choc, passionfruit and raspberry) were all absolutely delicious. The sponges were light and moist, and the icings/ fillings were incredible.
We loved our cake, and are very sad it's all gone now! Thanks Eleanor!

Beautiful and delicious wedding cake
Eleanor at the Maplewood Bakery made the cake for our wedding this weekend, and it was beautiful and delicious! From the outset, Eleanor was easy to communicate with, and we had a great tasting session at her home to decide flavours (one of our favourite wedding planning moments!). Her prides are also far more reasonable than many others we looked at!
We went for three tiers in lemon and elderflower, chocolate salted caramel, and (our favourite) white chocolate, raspberry and Passionfruit, and some chocolate cupcakes that were gluten-free and vegan. There was more than enough to go around and we even got to take some home to enjoy the next day. It was absolutely perfect, and all our guests commented on how good it tasted. Our friends with dietary requirements also commented on how amazing the cupcakes were too and they were so happy to be catered for.
Thank you Eleanor!

So yummy and such a good service
We used Maplewood Bakery for our wedding cake and it was to die for that we had to fight our guests off to get a piece. The tasting session before our wedding day gave us such a good variety of flavours that it was hard to pick our favourite. We would highly recommend the Maplewood Bakery for all your cake needs!

I choose this bakery to provide a wedding cake for my son.
I had guests with food intolerance and requested a gluten free cake. The cake was decorated with fresh flowers and had cream cheese frosting.
Everyone loved the flavour of the cake.

Didn’t deliver the cake, stopped responding to emails
Unfortunately my experience with Maplewood Bakery was not good as Eleanor didn’t deliver the cake for our wedding as agreed despite the fact that we had already paid for it, agreed date, place and time.
At the start everything seemed to be going well, she confirmed she could make a small cake for us and was flexible with our choice of flavour. She sent me the invoice for the first payment (50%) which we paid immediately and she confirmed receipt of payment. She asked for the remaining 50% to be paid 2 weeks before the wedding, so we made the transfer as requested.
After this, Eleanor stopped responding to email and phone calls. On our wedding day the venue told me that the cake had not arrived, and they had tried to get in contact with Eleanor multiple times. She never took my calls or responded to emails from me either. We are now waiting for a full refund (which we still don’t know if we’ll get) but the disappointment of not having a cake for our wedding day cannot be remedied. She didn’t even had the courtesy to cancel, which I would have expected as a courtesy.
Unfortunately I would not recommend Maplewood Bakery due to this - I cannot even comment on the cake as we didn’t have one.

Wonderful and delicious!
We were extremely pleased with our wedding cake! Eleanor was excellent from initial contact through to the day. The flavours available were much more interesting than other bakeries we looked at and they were all delicious, it was hard to decide which three to whittle it down to! We had lots of compliments on the cake :)

Excellent experience!
Eleanor designed and made the cake for our wedding day. Overall we were delighted with the experience, from meeting her in person to sample various flavours the in person set up and delivery on the day. Not only was the cake itself very tasty (rose & pistachio + white chocolate and passion fruit) but Eleanor was attentive to the style we wanted and also catered for specific dietary requirements.

Perfect experience
Really simple process with Eleanor. Taste tested some great flavours and the cake turned out exactly as we wanted. Really professional and easy to work with, would definitely recommend using Maplewood Bakery

Top quality cake and customer service!
We had a small intimate wedding a few weeks ago and we chose Maplewood Bakery to make our cake. It was all very spontaneous and pretty much last minute, so I was beyond happy and grateful that Eleanor had time to accommodate us! A week later, we were already tasting the cakes and discussing the flavours! Eleanor is such a warm, friendly and talented person, and it was an absolute pleasure dealing with her! Her cakes are absolutely gorgeous (I just had to look at her pictures and say "this one!") and so tasty (amazing list of flavours - not so easy to decide:))! Our wedding cake was gorgeous, elegant and delicious - it really exceeded our expectations! I was so grateful that Eleanor delivered it to the venue and took all the hassle off our hands! I would highly recommend this company to anyone, who's looking for a beautiful, elegant cake and friendly customer service! X

Wedding Cake
Eleanor did our amazing wedding cake in August. From our first conversation she was brilliant, nothing was too much! We had a lovely cake tasting session in her home which made us confident that she was the one we wanted to make our cake. We had so many compliments on not only the look of our cake but more importantly the taste! The passionfruit, raspberry and white chocolate tier was a massive hit and a personal favourite! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Eleanor to any of our family and friends looking for an occasion cake. Thank you Eleanor!

Amazing cake!
I found Eleanor through hitched when looking for a cake maker for our wedding. From the start Eleanor was helpful and responsive. We went for our cake tasting and had a cup of tea and went over ideas for our cake. Eleanor was so helpful and friendly. We immediately booked Eleanor for our wedding cake. Our cake was not only stunning it also tasted amazing! The cake went very quickly on the night and everyone enjoyed the three different flavours we had! Thank you so much Eleanor!
