Mrs Maxwell’s Bakery

Ordered cake on Tuesday for pick up on Wednesday morning. Cake was ready. Ordered a 2 layer cake; one layer yellow and the other chocolate. With a very thin layer of white icing. (Cake was for my grandpa, 75 yrs old, and he loves cake but doesnt like icing. I requested a «naked» cake and was advised they dont do that.) Anyway it was nicely decorated and boxed. My grandpa stated it was good except they put a LOT of icing and I agree. You would have thought I ordered extra –since there was sooo much… (the lady who took my order even wrote on the order form; thin and very little icing…) Anyway I loved the yellow layer, it was amazing however the chocolate wasn’t as tasty. It was a total miss.
Also brought a «red velvet cheesecake cup»… WOW… delicious !!! I went back twice just for the cup. Love it!

Great cake. The owner is also pleasant to deal with. Most are my cakes are from here.

Nothing bad to say about this spot. The best tasting cakes I ever had! I can do without the food coloring but other then that, the cake and cream itself are tasty.
Im so glad I don’t live close to this place because I’d be 400 pounds already.
They also take EBT folks.

So I drove home from work yesterday, and needed To buy a last minute cake… I read the reviews on Unilocal and figured that this place must be good, the reviews were okay, but for a place that been around for so long only 30 reviews… anyhow it was for my one year old brother’s birthday.
I ordered a plain cake with whipped cream… the smallest cake, pineapple filling, it was $ 28. That was the base price, I need light décor, it’s was going to be around $ 41 to add a children’s theme on a small cake, with no fancy filling. I decided to just stick to the «Happy First Birthday» writing, and it totaled up to around $ 30 and some change. I think that’s a bit pricey for a plain cake, but money wasn’t the object, I just thought maybe it tasted heavenly.
I went home, we cut the cake and sadly it was strawberry (love strawberries, just sick of it). The extra they charged me for whipped cream was pointless, because it was flippin buttercream, got the opposite of what I ordered, and it still didn’t bother me. What bothered me was that it tasted like a packaged cake from hostess, fake chemical frosting, and yucky packaged cake that’s filled with crap, and that is what pissed me off! Maybe this place was good a long time ago, I don’t know, but my experience was negative. I am not picky, despite all the downsides, and getting the wrong order, all I needed was for the cake to be worth the taste. Everyone hated it, not just me. I don’t like being negative, but please, don’t be naïve like me, this place is a waste of time and money, go somewhere else for a good cake, my local PathMark bakes more better cakes!!!

Just amazing!!! I’ve gone there for my wedding cake, birthday cakes and my baby shower cake. Would never go anywhere else!!!

There cakes are great! There always available even when it’s last minute!

Just ok not the best pasteries. Some are too sweet. This place has been, around forever but you won’t find extraordinary pasteries here

Call your cake in ahead of time. It saves lots of time. There’s parking in the lot right outside so no worrying about meters. You can run in, give them your name and watch them decorate your cake and you’ll be ready to go within minutes.

Cake is great! I go there all the time for birthday cakes! My specially is cheesecake! The best!

Mrs. Maxwell’s is a family tradition for me. My grandparents bought their cakes. Then my aunt bought their cakes. Now I buy their cakes for family functions.
There’s a real old-​school feeling to this place, which I love. I also like looking at the old photos of people at the bakery.
The cakes are pretty affordable and moist, but are so light that they sometimes don’t stand up to the fillings with real bits of fruit. They sometimes crumble when you cut into them. I would suggest cutting the bits of fruit smaller and making the cake just a smidgen more dense. Also, it’s not uncommon for their cakes to shift slightly en route. Stabilize them well during the drive.
My staple flavors include mocha, strawberry and pineapple. They’re pretty tasty. The frosting is never too sweet and compared to other bakeries, it’s not an overly excessive amount of frosting.
Other goodies abound at the bakery: cookies, cheesecake, marble pound cake, but I’m more a fan of their yellow cakes with fruit fillings.
It’s also a convenient one-​stop place where you can pick up a card, balloon, milk, cocktail size beef patties for parties and a cake, of course.
And there’s a parking lot, and they take credit cards.

I grew up on Maxwell’s cakes. I love love love their pineapple & strawberry cakes. Its soo yummy. All my family birthday cakes comes from here.

We happened to run into this place by chance… it was last minute and we decided to have a bday party for our son. Their cakes looked so beautiful we had to at least try them once… it was perfection. We had the whipped cream cake… everyone loved it.

picked up a yummy Mocha chocolate cake here for Mother’s Day. there was a line but it was being handled. People need to know that there is a great selection of cakes here and a lot of parking. they will fulfill your needs, write on the cake, and they have balloons available.

This place is good. I have purchased a few cakes for this place on occasion. I have also had to purchase a few last minute like i need it on the spot cakes and so far i’ve always been satisfied.

This place is huge! I love that they have their own private parking lot. Unlike cake man raven down the block, but their cake is so good it over look their faults. Maxwells is cheap on the pastries but their also not that great. I ordered a bunch of stuff, I have a sweet tooth and I wanted to try everything to see if we can have some type of relationship going ! I don’t think we’re going to make it, the red velvet didn’t melt on the roof of my mouth like cake man raven, they also have blue velvet which I never saw in my life. The carrot cake is like spongy crap. Oops I meant spongy crap with icing. But everything was so beautiful, clean and the women working there are soooooo nice !! I wish we could have made it but I’m dumping you Maxwells!

Mrs. Maxwell’s cakes are so delicious had to give it a five star rating. The staff in the bakery was cheerful and helpful. The bakery is very clean. The cakes are baked fresh everyday what more can I ask for.

Ruined my wedding cake… they didn’t want to refund my money and wanted me to drive ALL the way from my wedding location to have drop off the cake, have them take two hours to fix it (which was not guaranteed), and drive all the way back to pick it up.
Granted, their cakes are delicious, but they will no longer receive any of my business. Save this place for petty birthday cakes or cupcakes because I had a memory ruined because of them. I am reporting them to the BBB. I’m just shocked how arrogantly they handled the situation. I’m only giving them one star because I have to in order to place this comment.

I have been enjoying these yummy cakes for years! My Mom used to buy my birthday cakes from here and now I buy my son’s.
I favor the whip cream cakes and when I order in advance I get whip cream only within the layers. It is sooooo perfect that way and not to sweet. Well not to me ;)
I LOVE Mrs. Maxwell’s!

I’ve originally intended to go to Valencia Bakery in ENY to buy a pineapple filled birthday cake for my Dad-​in-​law. But it was closed. Then I remember about Mrs Maxwell’s Bakery.
I’ve brought a 8″ yellow cake with pineapple filling for $ 22. I agree with the other reviews that the cake was fresh and tasty. But what impressed me the most of how fancy the person wrote «Happy Birthday Day» (see photo). It was artistic.

We picked up a strawberry shortcake for a birthday event. It was light had just the right amount of strawberries. The cream was a typical cake cream. The prices are reasonable. The writing on the cake was magnificent. I don’t think I have come across any person that has done dual colors!
