A Special Touch-Cakes by Carolynn

I highly recommend Cakes by Carolynn to all future brides.

very happy with everything!

marble, raspberry amaretto swirl and butter rum. Delicious, Delicious, DELICIOUS!!!!

was delicious! I was grateful for the included tasting/consultation because I had no clue what I wanted to do with my cake. The staff was very helpful designing my cake. No problems getting the cake to the reception. I would highly recommend them!

and styles and she completely understood my vision. I had a consultation with Bonnie and she made us feel right at home. She was professional, gave us her expert opinion, and I could tell she truly cared. I did a great deal of research on Tampa Bay Area Bakeries and spoke to A LOT of bakers. I decided to reach out to a St Pete baker because her work really stood out to me. I was not interested in inedible fondant that I kept seeing at other bakeries and her buttercream work was absolutely gorgeous. She was hands down the most genuine and responsive baker out of a dozen I spoke with! As much as we loved all of the fun flavors she had to offer, we chose a classic white cake with fudge filling with buttercream icing. The cakes at this bakery are moist, the fillings are decadent, and the buttercream icing is clean and smooth! The delicate dots on the buttercream iced cakes are the perfect mix of feminine and classic! I cannot wait for my wedding and to see my vision come to life! Cakes by Carolynn, Thank you for an amazing wedding experience!

But, I put my trust in them and they did a phenomenal job! I recommend them highly!

iece of cake nor did my husband and myself. The cake also did not look like the picture that I had brought in. I would not recommend this vendor.

he was very professional and prompt to reply during the planning phase. We decided to have two cakes--a pretty standard, 3-tier wedding cake and also a custom groom's cake. For the groom's cake, I provided a picture that my husband's grandfather had drawn of two state outlines -- Vermont and Louisiana, since that's where my husband and I are from. Bonnie called me to determine all of the colors we would use on the cake and it came out perfectly! We also got some chocolate covered strawberries with the groom's cake which went fast! The groom's cake was a surprise to my husband and he absolutely loved it! The cakes were both the perfect size and they tasted amazing. Doing cake tasting before ordering was definitely worth it! We chose the butter rum flavor for the wedding cake and the white amaretto for the groom's cake, both with the barvarian cream filling which was simple and light, but to die for! Cakes by Carolynn also has a fabulous relationship with the Grand Plaza which was extremely convenient for the flow of everything on the wedding day -- the cakes were both dropped off to our reception ballroom before it began, looking flawless, which made much less communication confusion! Cakes by Carolynn is definitely worth their price tag. Thank you to Bonnie for making our special day so beautiful and delicious!

that you placed looked fantastic, and it was just really awesome. Second, holy moly, the Grateful Dead dancing bear grooms cake was AWESOME and was an absolute hit! It was perfect, and although maybe an odd request, my fiance absolutely was surprised and loved it. It was perfectly done and sitting beside the wedding cake I feel like it really captured both my fiance and my personalities (kind of weird cake analogy there, I know). Great price and definitely will recommend.

eriously the best cupcakes I have ever tried! On our tier, we had red velvet, carrot cake, raspberry swirl, and the topper was a white cake with coconut filling. All of them were incredible! They also created a grooms cake for me that looked like a drum since my husband plays drums. It looked so amazing! They are truly artists and incredible bakers with incredible service. They will not disappoint!

nd in Tampa do our taste testing, then finalized plans with my then fiance and me over the phone, never demonstrating the slightest bit of frustration or impatience with us. We sent a picture of a tea cup and they were able to create the design on a cake for us. They also coordinated with our restaurant for dinner after the wedding, dropped off our cake, and had it waiting beautifully arranged on a table for us when we arrived. I'm not sure how much Carolyn's did versus the restaurant in the set up, but that is the beauty of it all. We didn't have to worry about a thing! Our cake was beautiful, delicious, and very reasonably priced. Thank you Cakes by Carolyn!

filling, and it was AMAZING. My unique design of the cake also turned out beautiful and stayed within our budget. I was a bit worried because I was having a destination wedding, but Bonnie and her staff was very responsive and reIiable during the entire process. I definitely recommend using Cakes by Carolynn for your wedding or any event if you want excellent value and quality.

ince we were out of state, by my golly it was amazing! She helped us with all of our questions and our specialty designed cake. --we couldn't wait the year to eat our cake we loved it so much that we at the rest when we got home!!

ved, loved how yummy it was. I heard comments that it was the best tasting wedding cake ever!!! Thank you again for providing one five star wedding cake!!!

rd time picking just 2 flavors. We highly recommend Cakes by Carolynn for future brides and grooms.

vor that everyone enjoyed. The design of my cake was perfect for my venue, which was The Florida Aquarium. I had an ombre base color from white to blue, and coral design. The staff, especially Bonnie, was very helpful when I was making my decisions on the flavor and design, answering my many phone calls and emails. Also, I am a destination bride living in Chicago, and they made the process very easy for me without meeting them face-to-face after booking their services. I am so happy with their services, and definitely recommend them to anyone who doesn't want a traditional/boring wedding cake.

ll their cake, was too god to even leave one crumb on the plate!

zing, and years later when I went in for a tasting I got confirmation. The cakes are sinfully delicious from cake to frosting to filling, AND they are elegantly designed to the bride's choice. It is difficult to find a place where the cake actually tastes as good as it looks, and I am really picky about my desserts being a self-taught baker. There is nothing I appreciate more than a homemade cake from scratch that tastes as amazing as it looks. My husband and I were so happy with our choice that we ate the top layer instead of freezing it, just so that we would have an excuse to buy a fresh one on our anniversary! Please do not be fooled by the outside (or even inside) look of the shop. Just go in for a tasting and I promise you will not be disappointed :)

f a raspberry swirl with Bavarian cream filling kind of a guy, while I am more of a plain white on white sort of a girl. Great value, delivered on time, looked outstanding, very happy!

asked for at a reasonable price. The cakes were delivered and set up beautifully. I would definitely use them again.

aff was so nice! I would definitely recommend Cakes by Carolynn to anyone looking for a beautiful and yummy wedding/special occasion cake!

by someone else that was recommend by our wedding coordinator. However, the baker backed out a week before my wedding. I read some reviews for Cakes by Carolynn and they were all fantastic. I called and explained the situation. They told me to come in when I got in town and they would help me out. I showed up on Tuesday and they were able to have the cake done for my wedding on Thursday evening. I will definitely be here again the next time I am in Florida.

ave ordered the larger tier with the specialty flavor we used for the top tier (confetti cake with strawberry filling, YUM) because it was so good there weren't any leftovers!

The cakes are also super moist and delicious!!!

rawberry swirl white cake with strawberry preserves, almond cake with almond slivers and carrot cake with cream cheese filling. We had 100 guests, bought a cake that served 116 people and we had no cake left at our wedding, that's how fantastic it was. We even had family the next day asking for more cake! Also, we asked for the cake to be designed a specific way that might have been confusing so my husband drew a picture of what we wanted on an iPad and printed out a picture for them. It looked like they pulled the cake right out of the picture that is how perfect the cake looked. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

friendly. You can't go wrong here.

aste of the cake. I can't wait to eat it again on our anniversary! I would definitely recommend them.

m for our wedding. So many compliments on how good and beautiful the cake was. The flavor was wonderful and not to sweet and the presentation was even better.

more cake on our anniversary!

ng, the slices were huge and the quality of the decor was amazing. They were so easy to work with.

it for our one year anniversary to have it again!!!!!!!! Great people to work with.

bon accents I asked them to add. The grooms cake (a Seminole head on a round cake) turned out so awesome! Most everyone at the wedding are Seminole fans and they kept asking me where I got it done. Thanks a bunch to Bonnie over at Cakes by Carolynn!!

looked exactly like I envisioned, I couldn't have been happier. I would definitely recommend Cakes by Carolynn to anyone needing a tasty and beautiful cake!

tasted amazing! Our guests loved everything about them from the look to the taste! They were a pleasure to work with, prompt, attentive and courteous! Highly recommend using Cakes by Carolynn!

d even the pictures of the cake! Staff were helpful and accommodating. Everything went smoothly for us!

cake was DELICIOUS!

wedding when we returned home from the honeymoon. Even in that time, it still tasted fresh and moist. I really appreciated the variety of flavors for cakes and fillings they offered. They even provided me with a beautiful starfish cake topper. If you are having a beach wedding and want a gorgeous cake, this is the vendor for you. We loved our cake so much! The taste, the look, the elegance it brought to our wedding reception was everything we wanted and more. Can't wait to try out the top teir in one year!

job! Everyone thought the cake was really cute! My husband and I were really happy that we went Cakes by Carolynn!

just about died when I saw it at the reception. They were amazing!

me. The provided the exact cake I wanted for my party of 85 people. It included 2 different types of layers: amaretto cake with raspberry filling and orange cake with strawberry filling. The icing was butter cream made with real butter. The decorations were exactly to my specifications. It tasted amazing and looked great in the photos. Thanks Cakes by Carolynn for helping to make my wedding the perfect day.

n town the day before the wedding and dropped off seashells for our cake. The bakery was very clean and the women were so friendly and organized. At the wedding the cake was so beautiful. We received so many compliments about how delicious the cake was! We opted for a coconut cake with pineapple filling and off-white butter cream icing. Let's just say we didn't have to worry about packing the top layer on the plane back home from the honeymoon!!

d butter rum and everyone loved the cake! I cannot wait to eat the rest of it for our year anniversary

flavors and fillings were included. Which would have been fine but i had asked prior to going to pick out a cake and got no response about what was included over the phone. The design we liked had chocolate starfish on it approximately 7. I can understand an additional charge for this but they wanted to charge us 60 dollars. We also ended up spending more money to upgrade our cake with additional flavors so we didn't have a whole cake of one flavor. Cake tasted fine I would recommend the carrot cake. The swirl cakes we tried were a bit weird and granular. Overall the cake tasted fine wasn't best cake of my life wasn't the worst. Just a bit disappointed in the service.

y so we can eat our top layer!

e always on top of things and I never worried about a thing. I highly recommend Cakes by Carolynn. Oh, and their cupcakes were delicious!

pany that we were not impressed with...everything else was great though. We would definitely recommend Cakes by Carolynn.

ic and it looked exactly like it! Everyone talked about how pretty and delicious it was.

ne at the wedding said how amazing it tasted and how it looked too perfect, like a cheesecake perfect! It tasted AMAZING!!! I would have that for guests who came into town.

d were just what I imagined. I can't wait till our anniversary so I can have some more:)

our the last of it on our first anniversary! We went with White chocolate amaretto with raspberry filling and butter cake with lemon filling. Everyone loved both flavours! They were moist and full of flavour!

y swirl cake with raspberry frosting, we loved (and got)them both! Our cake was exactly how I imagined it, but better! They pay attention to details! Our guests went back fr seconds! It was not only gorgeous, but tasted so moist and fresh. Went above and beyond my expectations! Would highly recommend!
