"I have had the privilege of knowing Maria for 25+ years. She has always been
a go-getter, and a fantastic chef. Our catering branch, Dakota-Cuvée Events,
provides event planning and catering for clients from all corners of the United
States. Over the past 9 or more years I have been able to contract her talents for
many of our important clients. She has made many memorable cakes and
sweet treats for brides, grooms, sons, daughters, and many other clients that we
work with. She is very detailed oriented and comes through--even in the most
difficult situations. ''

| "First let me say, I am honored to be able to tell you about Maria DeLaBarre, an amazing talent that I have the honor to work with. I am the owner of A Southern Affair, a bridal shop and event coordination company. I was looking through a Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine last summer and saw an amazing cake featured by cake designer, The Cake Diva, Mississippi. I immediately knew I had to find and know this designer. (Grace Ormonde doesn't feature just anyone!) When I spoke with Maria, not only was she gracious, but also, so excited about approaching the Jackson area as a new market. Once I met and tasted her works of art, I told all of my new clients about her. I even had a bride switch from another cake designer she had already booked (losing her deposit in the process) to book The Cake Diva...she's that good! After the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, I was very concerned about Maria, her safety, her home, and her business. When I heard from her and she said she was moving her home and business to the Jackson area... I was elated! Not for the reason she was having to move, but elated that she was coming here. Maria, The Cake Diva has something that this town has never seen! I am honored to be able to recommend her to my clients with absolute confidence and joy. Each and every cake design she creates is truly something special. She has the soul of a painter with a baker's spoon! '' |

"The Cake Diva, Maria deLaBarre, not only makes gorgeous cakes, but they are
also very delicious. In my opinion, she is definitely the most creative cake
designer in our area.''
