I cannot say enough about Shannon and the whole Maxie b's family. My sister and I frequent the storefront often, so when it was time to plan my wedding, there was no doubt that Maxie B's would create my cake. I had the most fabulous cake I'd ever tasted ANYWHERE! I have 3 satellite tiers of moist deliciousness. The bottom tier was lemon almond buttercream (insane!), the middle tier was their special strawberry buttercream (incredible!) and the top tier was cream cheese pound cake with cream cheese icing (delicious!). My cakes were round, smooth tiers covered in gold sugar carnations. My guests kept going back for more. We had NO cake left afterward LOL. Luckily, Maxie B's gives their patrons a gift certificate for a free anniversary cake, instead trying to freeze that top tier. I absolutely love MAxie B's!!!!!!

I brought 100 mini chocolate chip cookies and 100 mini cupcakes of 5 different flavors from Maxi B's to put on my dessert table. They were absolutely delicious and everyone enjoyed them. Sharon and her staff were very professional and super easy to deal with. The chocolate chip cookies literally melt in your mouth. I will definitely be using this vendor again in the future!

Maxi B's Cake was the best food at the wedding!! Our only complaint is that we had no leftovers because all the guests wanted seconds and thirds! It was absolutely delicious! We had a layer of Birthday Cake and a layer of Chocolate Sin. Both were outstanding!. We did a tasting at the shop which was wonderful and a great way to make choices. We worked with Shannon, who was very professional in scheduling, contracting, helping us with design, executing on the big day, and follow up. I would not hesitate to recommend Maxi B's to anyone!

They were great to work with and so helpful when making decisions about the cake. We had a tasting months before the wedding where we tried many flavors and discussed design and pricing. The birthday cake, chocolate, and pink lemonade flavors were delicious. We also rented a beautiful cake stand from them that was perfect.

Being from Greensboro originally, and being familiar with Maxie B's, I knew without a doubt that is who we wanted to do our wedding cake. With a very recent write up in Southern Living on the best bakeries of the south Maxie B's is at the top of the list. We worked with Shannon who was awesome! I just gave her a picture of a general idea and told her to run with it...it was gorgeous! We received so many compliments from guests who all loved it! As a matter of fact, I believe several out-of-town guests have placed orders at Maxie B's to be shipped to their homes because they loved it so much. And Shannon has been so kind & gracious to make it happen. I can not thank you guys enough! You're awesome! Carrie & Gregg...

We ordered bridal cake (2 flavors) a chocolate groom's cake with chocolate dipped strawberries, and a german chocolate cake for rehearsal dinner - all were sinfully delicious ! Shannon did a fantastic job making sure that we got exactly what we wanted at a reasonable price. The cake stands provided were perfect for the wedding location. Cake tastings were awesome - we really got alot of bang for our buck. You cannot go wrong with a cake from Maxie B's :)

Maxie B's created the most beautifully, delicious cake for our wedding day. I just wished I had ordered more of it, so many people said it was the best cake they had ever had.

I had a different type of wedding cake. I had 2 different people making my cake Maxie B's did the fire truck and a friend made the 3 tiered cake to go with it. We were able to take pictures of my husbands actual fire truck that he works on and send to them for the cake. When we got the cake it was more than I had imagined. It was very, very detailed and exactly what I had wanted. Every small thing that was on his actual truck was on the cake. Not to mention it was very tasty. We had the 5 flavor pound cake and it was moist and awesome. The fire truck sat next to the 3 tiered cake with a ladder from one to the other like the fireman was coming to get the bride off the top of the cake. It was awesome there are no other words for it and I would recommend them to any one as well as I will be having other cakes made by them in the future!

Maxie B's was the talk of the night! We ordered cupcakes in place of cake and were able to have three flavors and a single tier for our cake cutting ceremony for FAR less than a tiered cake would have cost. The cupcakes were ideal and I cannot wait for our one year anniversary to break out that wedding cake again! My husband and I reside outside of the area, but make a point to visit Maxie B's everytime we are in town because it has the BEST cupcakes we've ever had. They staff was cortious and responsive to our questions and requests. They worked with us and the final product was pristine... I cannot imagine a better tasting nor a better looking table scape than the one Maxie B's provided for me.

Maxie B did our wedding cake and grooms cake. I could not have been happier with the end product of either. Both cakes turned out exactly as we had discussed and everyone was so great to work with. Most importantly, both cakes were so delicious and i received a ton of compliments on them!

Shannon and Maxie B's was just spectacular! The cakes were amazing, the service was wonderful. I felt more like I was talking to a friend than dealing with a "business partnership." They were responsive to my questions, gave me feedback on my ideas without trying to "sway" me to a specific design. They even had suggestions for ways to save money, which was awesome! I will definitely use them again, and will be stopping in for slices of their cake on the regular as well. :)

Maxie B's made our "storybook fairytale" wedding cake for our May 29th wedding this year at Castle McCulloch. They were very friendly and professional. We sat down with them months before the wedding and they took the time to get every little detail I wanted to be perfect for our big day! Anytime I emailed with a note or question they responded immediately. They offer a huge variety of flavors and I've NEVER tried one that was anything less than amazing. I would recommend them a million times over! Thank you sooo much for making our cake everything we wanted and more!

We've used other popular local bakeries in the past, but Maxie B's far surpasses any of them. The wedding cake was simply stunning - the detail, the presentation, and most importantly the TASTE was incredible. The most fun thing that my daughter and I did when planning her wedding was taste-testing cake with Shannon at Maxie B's. Shannon was sensitive to what my daughter wanted, offered suggestions, but did not try to push her into something that was not her. The experience was wonderful and the cake couldn't have been more perfect!!!

Maxie B's is AMAZING!!!!!!! I knew right away when I got engaged that they would be making my cake. When I set up my cake testing the only problem I had was which flavor to choose because I loved them all! After the cake testing I just couldn't get enough of Maxie Bs - I went back every day for about a week! But I figured if I wanted to fit into my wedding dress I should probably cut that out for a little while : ) Shannon Barbee of Maxie B's was absolutely wonderful to work with - she is very sweet and is very good at her job! She is very accessible and wants to make sure the bride has everything perfect for her big day! She stays in touch very well and makes sure the brides vision of her perfect cake comes to life! I am a customer for life and would highly recommend Maxie B's to every bride! (We also used them for the grooms cake as well for the rehearsal dinner - again a big hit!)

I had the pleasure of working directly with the owner, Robin, given the Wedding Coordinator was on maternity leave. Robin was so helpful with suggestions and was super flexible with me, which I greatly appreciated. When we first sat down I envisioned a dessert table but went back and forth with theme, and she walked me through it with ideas. Even though I changed my mind a few times, she was always there to keep things moving and on track. I ended up getting my three tier cake in the "My Favorite Pound Cake" flavor and they also made four types of cupcakes for my dessert table. One thing I really appreciated was Robin going above and beyond in helping me find a ribbon of the type of unique brown I was looking for...it was so nice of her to do. I received a ton of compliments in how delicious everything was. I drooling as I type this actually! I also ended up getting my groom's cake there also in their caramel flavor- I had a sketch I referred to for what I wanted and the cake designers there did it perfectly! I love everything about Maxi B's - the smell, the creativity, their professionalism. Wedding cakes is an area of expertise for this bakery, and you really can't go wrong. Their reputation alone should make you feel confident in their work. From the cake tasting to the first bite, I am a happy bride (with happy guests!).

Maxie B's did our grooms cake! It was probably one of the best chocolate cakes I've ever tasted. I was happy with their service and product and would fully recommend them to anyone.

Maxie B's did the cakes for our wedding, and were wonderful to work with. We decided to do a cake buffet since we couldn't decide on just one flavor and it was the hit of the wedding! Shannon was wonderful to work with, and they went the extra mile. I would highly recommend them to any bride!
