★★★★★4 months agoWe stayed in Bologna only for a few nights and wanted to celebrate my husband’s birthday here. Missbake was recommended by the landlord the first day. The owner was responsive and creative and always so nice to my requirements! :) I wanted to write too many letters on the small cake but couldn’t fit in everything then she came up with the solution of a printed edible nice logo with the words that I wanted to say.. all came together beautifully in a timely manner and it was a wonderful evening for my husband and us! Highly recommended!

★★★★★2 months agoI had an absolutely wonderful experience with Missbake. I ordered the red velvet bento cake and cinnamon rolls (all vegan), and both exceeded expectations in taste and presentation. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared and well put together. What stood out most was the attention to detail and care in the overall experience. The team was very responsive and patient in understanding my preferences, which made the process feel smooth and personal. There was also a thoughtful extra included with the order that felt very considered and added a lovely touch to the experience, making it feel even more special. Overall, the quality of the products combined with the level of service made it feel well worth it. It’s rare to find something that balances taste, presentation, and customer care so well. I absolutely recommend them! Thank you Stefania for such a lovely experience 🥹🤍
