We were so excited to meet Maggie Labaugh (right above) of Maggie Austin and her sister and marketing director Jessica Rapier (left above) yesterday that I think yesterday’s cake and cookie tasting might have been the best we have ever had!

Maggie brought her delicious samples in a delicate box complete with linen napkins and sterling silver forks!  Tara and I just marveled at the presentation alone!

If you take a look at the menu of goodies that were prepared for us – you will see  that this was not your ordinary cake tasting.  Every cake was a progression from light and fluffiness to rich decadence.  I landed at the Mexican Vanilla Cake with Earl Grey Ganache and fell in love.  Tara loved the Fiori Di Sicilia Chiffon cake with Strawberry and Champage Preserves and vanilla buttercream – which had a wonderful orange creamsicle tinge to it!  The Double Chocolate Espresso Cake was not for the faint of heart and definitely had a kick to it!

Every cake comes with a delightful detailed hand-drawn treasure,  Maggie is all about creating her cakes from a highly stylized perspective.  These are not the typical buttercream, three-tiered cakes – they are works of art.

She is a an amazing artist!  She also does cookies!

She even made a cute E&S cookie for us.  We love these cookies so much – we just could not eat them!  (Well – we ate one – shhh)

Stay tuned as we are in the throws of planning their launch party and you are invited!

If you are wanting to take your wedding or special occasion cake to the next level – Maggie is the person to call!

Happy Cake Eating!
