A Special Touch-Cakes by Carolynn

wasn’t something I was too worried about. Well the cake was one of the stand out parts for me and my husband. I can’t recommend Cakes By Carolynn enough, the quality for their price is unmatched!

sts loved the cake! She customized a cake from a picture on Pinterest…..amazing! Thank you!

we can't wait for our anniversary to eat it again!

end for your wedding cake. The cake was so good!!

not cause the cake to fall.

We gave them a photo of the cake and asked them to reproduce it in buttercream since we hate fondant. The cake was unreal, the frosting was impeccably smooth and looked like fondant. No cake left for me to take home because all the guest ate it, many guests ate multiple pieces because it was so delicious!

e wanted, and they were able to re-create it perfectly. All of our guests raved about how delicious the cake was and how beautiful it was. We will be back every year on our anniversary to purchase a cake!

for our anniversary :)

ne else loved it and that’s all that mattered!

When we went for our tasting they were very friendly and made suggestions based on what we were looking for. They customized our cake with a pearlized airbrush finish which gave it a beautiful and elegant look against the lighting in our ballroom. We would highly recommend Cakes by Carolynn!

lked us through the various flavors and cake types. Before the wedding, Bonnie and her staff were easy to work with and accommodated our headcount changes with ease. And then on the day of the wedding - the cake looked amazing! It was simple, but so beautiful. And tasted incredible!

. We had been given a few recommendations from others regarding different bakeries, but wasn’t in love with designs or more importantly the customer service we experienced with some bakeries we contacted. At Cakes By Carolynn someone sat down with us for over an hour and discussed flavors, designs, layers, and things you wouldn’t even think to ask in regards to a wedding cake! They actually designed our cake from the ground up and were more than accomodating when we took a couple extra months to decide on our filling flavor. The cake turned out EVEN BETTER than I expected and people are still raving about how delicious it was. In fact, some friends of ours who recently got engaged just booked them after our wedding. Thank you thank you thank you to Cake by Carolynn for adding that “special touch” to our day!

from 3 local bakers and I’m so glad we chose A Special Touch! When we did our tasting Carolyn was so great! You could really tell this was a family business. Carolyn was able to help us make the right choice in cakes and my favorite part was everything was fondant free! We decided on the raspberry swirl with amereto- a best seller. When we came back to drop off the cake decor the ladies working were so great and helpful on how to place everything perfectly. All our guests were raving about the cake. I’ve never been to a wedding were all the cake was eaten but it surely happened at ours! Thankfully the venue saved our top! I can not be thank this talented team enough!

icious! We had the cake ombre and to match our wedding colors. The cake turned out perfectly and was exactly what we wanted! We got so many compliments on the cake! Amazing!

used the wrong color. It was supposed to be lavender (my colors were lavender and blue), and they used blue instead. I still don't know how that happened. I was very clear from the beginning the color was lavender. Had they used the right color I would have given them 5 stars.

sy process booking and after one taste we knew this was the perfect cake for us!

nt with them - their service and cake was the best!

extra pieces home. Thank you for being a part of our wedding! I highly recommend Cakes by Carolynn to all future brides.

I highly recommend them!!!

will not be disappointed you did!

y tasting. Our cake was gorgeous and tasted fabulous! We were very happy with everything!

lls, and the 3 different layers it was picture perfect. We had marble, raspberry amaretto swirl and butter rum. Delicious, Delicious, DELICIOUS!!!!

a white amaretto cake with pineapple filling and yum yum yum! It 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!

onderful cakes.

o cut costs since I had a strict budget. I sent various pictures 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!

state and were worried not being able to taste them beforehand. But, I put my trust in them and they did a phenomenal job! I recommend them highly!

have enough cake for the guests. My parents never received a piece 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.

th for our wedding. Bonnie was nothing short of outstanding -- she 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!

Good. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

had so many compliments, and NO LEFTOVERS! The flamingo toppers 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.
