Mrs Maryna

I ordered my wedding cake at the last minute, and Monica was amazing. She provided excellent service, helping me select the cake and the stand. She even coordinated with the florists to ensure we got the perfect design—exactly as I envisioned. The cake looked elegant and, most importantly, tasted delicious. Our guests couldn’t stop coming back for more.

Thank you again for the outstanding service. I will definitely return and recommend you!

The most incredible cake & service

There are no words for how happy we were with our stunning cake from Munro Bakes... & we were even more blown away by the texture & flavours of her creation. Guests were coming up to us & raving about it!!! I mean when does this ever happen at a wedding with so much going on!? Truly delicious & beautiful. It was the perfect touch to our dream wedding & Monica worked so closely with us & really listened to what I wanted style wise. Her service throughout the entire process was flawless. She went out of her way to create my dream cake & brought my idea to life. There's something magic in her recipes & flavours & I cannot rate Munro Bakes highly enough. Since our wedding I have had multiple friends use Munro Bakes & each and every couple have been just as happy. This girl and her cakes are going places. Thank you so much Monica / Munro Bakes xxx

Delicious & Reliable

We purchased the taster box & it was delicious!
We got 4 flavours, 2 pieces of each, all individually wrapped & with some complimentary Tea Bags.
Very cute presentation, I loved it!
We got the Coffee, Lemon, Red Velvet & Vanilla.
All devine, moist & soft sponges!
Not ridiculously sweet that left your cheeks sucking inwards, just perfection!

Would highly recommend any cakes from MunroBakes!

Best cake I have ever tasted!

Thank you so much, Munro Bakes, for creating the most beautiful cake for my mum's birthday party.

You perfectly captured the brief! the cake was stunningly decorated and received lots of compliments on its taste, with many saying it was the best cake they had ever had!

I highly recommend Munro Bakes for any occasion. I wish I had found her sooner, I would have loved to have her make my wedding cake 😋

Thanks Monica! I will definitely return for future events and will recommend you to all my friends and family xx

Gorgeous and delicious

Monica is a dream to work with. She’s creative and intuitive - we didn’t really know what we wanted and she came up with a gorgeous (and delicious) solution that suited us perfectly. We’ve also ordered a mini version for our anniversary!
