“If you’re looking for truly special pastry or cake, I can’t recommend Renaissance Pastry and Chef Maya enough. She made my wedding cake—a lavender and white chocolate dacquoise (basically an exquisite, giant macaron)—and it was unforgettable. As someone who’s gluten intolerant and used to mediocre substitutes, I was blown away. It wasn’t just beautiful; it was honestly the best thing I’ve ever eaten.
What made it even more meaningful was that she decorated the cake with my wedding flowers, turning it into something personal and unique. Her passion for her craft is obvious in everything she makes.
I have since tried to recreate the cake, but nothing ever comes close. I’ve since had the joy of tasting more of her pastries. If you ever get the chance to try her work, do it—you won’t regret it.”
