To determine the number of cakes they can make, we need to divide the total amount of flour by the amount of flour used per cake.
6 1/2 pounds can also be written as 6 + 1/2 = 6.5 pounds.
The bakery can make 6.5 / (3/4) = 6.5 * (4/3) = <<6.5*(4/3)=8.67>>8.67 cakes.
Since they cannot make a fraction of a cake, they can make a maximum of 8 full cakes. Answer: \boxed{8}.
