    Cakes by Cynthia was great! I almost forgot to order my cake ( I didn't have a wedding planner)... I was able to order my cake the Monday before my wedding and it was delivered to our reception location the day of our wedding. What a life saver!

    Although the cake Cynthia designed was for my mother's 90th birthday celebration. It was synonomous with a wedding cake. It consisted of 3 tiers accentuated with a cupcakes & cake pops display and a separate 2 dimensional "90" sheetcake on view in front of the head table. It served 200+ people. The cakes was so tastey & moist that they could melt in mouth. Each tier was a different cake batter as well as the cupcakes & "90" cake (vanilla, red velvet, chocolate).The top tier is in the freezer to celebrate a later time. Just a little bit about my interaction with Cynthia. She responded in a timely manner via telephone, text or e-mail. She was prompt with the delivery of the cakes and setup them at The Colonnade Inn. Most of all, my mother was very pleased and my mom can bake from scratch. In addition, I traveled to her home to do the cake tasting. I was late and she waited patiently for me to arrive.The samples were just as delicious as the actual birthday cakes. I would highly recommend her services. My Associate Pastor, who used Cynthia's services to celebrate her 50th Birthday, referred her to me. She was well pleased with her birthday cake& services. It was a colorful, 4 tier cake and it tasted good, too. Hats off to Cynthia!!!

    My snicker doodle, lemon and chocolate cake was GREAT! They was very professional, always returned my call, and when I went for cake testing they took their time with me and my husband. I would recommend them to anyone. Great job Cakes by Cynthia I was very satisfied with you're work. My wedding was 7/1/17

    Our snickerdoodle wedding cake was delicious and the execution was beautiful! Our guests devoured it. After our cake cutting ceremony, it seemed as if we turned around for one second only to find that the only thing left was our top tier (anniversary tier) but I'm sure our guest would have eaten that as well, if we let them lol. My husband and I can't wait until our anniversary to eat the rest of the cake!!

    From the day I needed my wedding cake to my now one year anniversary they were a charm to work with.... It started with our initial consultation my schedule was so crazy and couldn't seem to set a appointment time during regular hours at the shop...Cynthia offered to come to me and in the comforts of my own home ...she was so sweet ...and such a sweetheart to work with ....even tho our budget wasn't huge she felt that a brides wedding is such an important milestone that she offered to upgrade our cake for no extra charge .....we seen our cake on day of and I just cried ...I was not expecting that at all . ....the cake was just what I thought it would be DELICIOUS..... one year later we received a free top tier from her just her way of saying thank you for ordering your cake from her. ...oh yessssss I would recommend anyone to go to her .....I'm definetly using her again cause now I'm pregnant and need a shower cake! :)

    We had a fundraiser and sold over $1000 in products. Items were to be completed on a Friday. We were informed the day before that they would not be ready until TUESDAY! RIDICULOUS!

    Her staff doesn't know HER product. I came in to order a cake showed the girl the picture of what I wanted. She replied that's our cake design. When I got my cake it was NOTHING like you version I ordered. Also told the girl i had my own characters. She also had me text her the cake design i wanted which i did and STILL didnt get what i asked/paid for. Since my party was that day I didn't expect to be disappointed. I will continue with my regular cake place.

    Horrible to say the least

    Save your money and go to the grocery store!! Not worth the $160 my cousin paid for her baby shower cupcakes. She should be ashamed of herself selling this garbage! I wouldn't feed these cupcakes to my dog!! Poor quality + none existent communication = do not shop!!!

    It has been a few days and she still has not responded to my cousins multiple attempts to reach out about this. She has gone live on social media and constantly posted on social media but still has not addressed the concerns of her paying customer!!

    In the interest of full disclosure this vendor never actually provided any services for me because she refused to return my phone calls and e-mail. That being said...

    I would not use this baker, at all. I bought a groupon as a test for presentation, taste and professionalism for my upcoming wedding. After the groupon was bought I attempted several times through e-mail and phone calls to contact the "business" all with no return response. I even contacted Groupon in an attempt to have them mediate. I was told that I would receive a call back from Cynthia within 3 business days. After waiting a full week I decided that it was no longer worth my time and had them refund my money. If you want someone that is responsive I would not use this baker.

    I would not recommend this baker to my worst enemy; I reached out to Cynthia 2 months prior to my event. In my intital communication I sent specific details pertaining to the cake and had several follow up conversations as well. Cynthia received my deposit immediately after our intial communication and the final payment a month ahead of the due date. On the day of event she delivered the cake 2 hours late (I had to reach out to her for the status of the deliver b/c she did not contact me regarding tardiness) and upon her arrival the cake was unfinished and damaged. I informed Cynthnia of my disaapoinment, however my event had to go on. A day after the event I reached out to Cynthia expressing my concerns once again, she informed me that she would refund me a portion of the cost due to inconvenience; the was July 29th and as of today (September 25th) I have not received my refund nor will she answer any calls or respond to my emails.

    My experience with Cakes By Cynthia in Baltimore MD was really disappointing. I was a groupon customer who placed an order a month and a half before the event for which I needed the cupcakes for. When I placed my order I spoke with a woman- she told me not to freeze the cupcakes, where to pick them up and was very specific that pickup orders are done between 12-5 on Fridays ( the day I was scheduled to pick up my order). When I went to pick them up not only did no one answer the phone but there was a very unsettling voice mail stating that groupon orders are no longer being filled because they were too booked for wedding season. When someone finally answered the door the woman was surprised, tried to argue with me that I didn't place an order and they had no cupcakes to give me- she offered no solution, she did apologize however she made sure to repeat many times how they are too busy... As a consumer I understand getting in over ones head and that's not the customers problem- not only did no one contact me regarding my order not being able to be filled but the business offered a half ass apologie with no restitution. I do not recommend using this bakery.
