Best Custom Cakes

There is a classic scene in Addams Family Values in which a woman jumps out of a cake at a bachelor party, and Gomez suavely inquires: "Was she in there before you baked it?" If Uncle Fester had gone to Maribelle Cakery, the question would never have arisen. Why? Because Maribelle cakes are confection perfection. The icings are always moist, creamy and rich. The fillings are never sickly sweet. And the cake ... the cake is divine. Since 1992, Maribelle Cakery has been Tucson's premier designer of cakes for weddings and special occasions. Not sure what you want? Cake sampling sessions are scheduled by appointment on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. Or you can stop by and try sample cakes from 1 to 4 p.m. during the Sunday afternoon bridal tea. Lurch would approve.
