    Awsome experience at a great value

    My wife and I looked into several cake bakeries, but in the end, we chose Mara. Simply put, she was awesome, everything about the cake was awesome, and the value that you get is undeniable. She even argued with our venue to move the cake table to ensure the safely of our cake. Don't let her busy restaurant scare you. When it's "your" day, nothing else matters to her.

    The perfect experience

    I’m so glad that we choose Mara to do our wedding cake. She made sure that it was just what we wanted and that everything was set up perfectly. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a beautiful wedding and delicious cake.

    Mara was awesome!

    Mara was absolutely incredible to work with! She was attentive to what we wanted from beginning to end. Our wedding cake tasted even more amazing than the cakes we sampled. We can't recommend The Baker's Box enough.

    The BEST Wedding Cake!

    Wow, we are so so happy we chose The Bakers Box for our Wedding Day cake!! They were recommended by our venue (Rumbling Bald) and it was the most delicious cake I've ever had anywhere. We went with the lemon raspberry cake with buttercream frosting. Us and our guests were blown away. I would travel to NC for a slice of that any day. Mara was super easy to work with, very responsive and helpful in making our wedding day cake vision come to life. She's truly talented - I highly recommend!

    Perfection!

    There is no other way to describe Mara from The Baker’s Box. She was attentive to what we wanted and gave wonderful suggestions on how to make our dessert table even better! Whatever it is you are looking for, Mara is your girl.

    LGBTQ friendly

    We were initially having a lot of problems finding vendors that are LGBTQ friendly. Mara at The Baker’s Box is so down to earth and realistic. The whole experience was short of amazing. Thank you so much!

    Fantastic!

    Mara was incredible to work with! The Bakers Box did an outstanding job on my daughters cake. It was exactly like she requested! Not only was it beautiful it was delicious. Mara came to the venue, delivered and set up the cake which went flawlessly. I would definitely recommend Mara and The Bakers Box for a beautiful wedding cake!

    Highly recommend


    We used Mara and The Baker's Box for our wedding reception, and highly recommend her. She has fantastic baked goods and is masterful in her arrangement of them. We did the non-traditional choice of cupcakes for the guests, and all were pleased with the flavors and the overall look. We cannot recommend Mara any more highly for any event that you might need.

    Best baker and service in Western NC!

    Mara offered the MOST exceptional service throughout the entire wedding cake experience. From the cake testing, where she went above and beyond for my husband, our parents, and myself to experience all her cakes and decorations. To working with her on prices and size. She dropped off the cake the day of the wedding and decorated it to perfection. So many of our guests have complimented how delicious it was. We would highly recommend The Baker's Box for your wedding cake!

    Great place and tasty cakes

    We found the baker box store by accident when looking for someone to do Wedding cakes. We weren't having much luck and then I got hungry and we happened upon the Baker box restaurant. We stopped in for a bite and the place was cute and cool and right up our alley with the Harry Potter and Star wars lego sets hanging from the ceiling. And we food we got there was so tasty! It was a really cool place. I tried their bakery items and was blown away with the flavor. I learned they made wedding cakes and so we chose them to get our wedding cake from. It was such a pretty cake and so delicious! Not to mention she was willing to deliver the cake at least 30mins or more to the venue.

    Mara was great to work with.

    The cake was not only beautiful but delicious as well. She also made gluten-free dairy free cupcakes for those of us with food allergies that were out of this world!

    All of the guests loved the cake...Amazing!!!

    The pastry chef created a cake that was exactly what we had envisioned, and it was absolutely amazing!!! We had so many guests that said that they don't usually like wedding cake but loved this one. The icing was so light and creamy and not overpoweringly sweet like most wedding cake icing is. Thank you Baker's Box!!!

    Our Cake was Divine!

    Choosing The Baker’s Box for our wedding cake was one of the best decisions we made! Everything about the experience was first rate (the tasting, the communication, the delivery and, of course, the cake itself). Mara is one of the kindest humans you will ever meet, and her cakes taste like heaven on Earth. We chose chocolate with buttercream frosting, and she adorned it with some of our flowers. It was simple yet extraordinary. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it!

    cake and food

    I can say enough kind words about the staff at the Baker's Box. My Husband and I were so impressed with the wedding cake and food. The wedding was beautiful and everything that I had dreamed of. The food was so amazing and the wedding guests made many comments about how good the food was.

    Highly Recommend

    George & Mara provided catering for our outdoor wedding with ~150 guests. Everything exceeded our expectations! George prepared a low country boil cooked onsite, during a rainstorm, and it turned out amazing. Mara baked our cake and it was absolutely beautiful and delicious. We have received so many compliments on our dinner and desserts. If you are looking for delicious, fresh, outside-the-box catering, call The Baker's Box! They made our special occasion even more special and memorable.

    Delicious and Beautiful

    I have so many good things to say about Mara at The Baker’s Box! She was so nice and helpful and the cake the made for our wedding was the most delicious cake I’ve ever eaten. We received so many compliments from our wedding guests, even those who weren’t big cake fans loved our cake. Not only was our cake delicious but it was also the most beautiful cake ever. I wanted a buttercream frosted cake with a heavy cascade of fresh flowers and Mara did a fabulous job! I highly recommend to anyone who wants a yummy, delicious, AND beautiful cake for their wedding!

    Absolutely Stunning & delicious Wedding Cake! Thank you Mara!!!

    When it comes to wedding cakes, and really anything else, the Baker's Box was the perfect choice! Mara was so sweet and incredible to work with. She truly is an artist and I couldn't have dreamed of a more beautiful Wedding Cake! First off, her cake flavors and icing were delicious! She prepared 3 mini cakes of our choosing, all delicious so it was really hard to choose, and provided coffee and water with our cake tasting. I went with her most popular, and I can see why, the sour cream cake, with Bailey's Irish Cream filling, and Italian Cream Icing. People at my wedding couldn't get enough of it. It was so delicious, not to mention absolutely gorgeous! She worked hand in hand with my Florist Pam, at the Flower Market, who prepared the most beautiful flower arrangements, and provided the perfect rustic wooden cake stand that went perfectly with our wedding decor. I really lucked out with finding her and she made the perfect, simplistic Wedding Cake to go with our Rustic Fall Wedding theme at BurntShirt Vineyards.
    Thank you so much Mara!
    -Much Love, Cristina Bowman

    Gorgeous to look at, delicious to eat!

    I highly recommend The Baker's Box and Mara Nicholas for your wedding cakes! Mara is an amazing creator of beautiful cakes that actually taste delicious, and not too overly sweet. She has so many flavors to choose from, and a wonderful book of past cakes she has made to give you ideas for your own design. Also important to us, she made gluten-free cupcakes to have in addition to the wedding cake for those guests with gluten sensitivities or allergies. We had the basic idea of what we wanted the cake to look like, and our florist provided gorgeous blooms and greenery that Mara creatively used to make our dream come true. It was an extreme pleasure to work with Mara at The Baker's Box, and I recommend them highly!
