“If you’re looking for truly special pastries, 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 the best thing I’ve ever tasted.

What made it even more meaningful was the care she put into every detail. 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’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.”
