Buttercream Dreams LLC is a wedding cake business in Weyers Cave, VA, about 1 hour from Charlottesville, VA; however, currently no serving the Richmond, VA area. The experts behind this bakery delight in crafting mouthwatering confections that couples and guests can indulge in. This home-based operation strives for the highest quality results so that every happy couple can receive a sweet show-stopper that tastes as good as it looks.
Carrie Ashton is the owner and lead professional behind Buttercream Dreams. She takes immense pride in bringing custom-inspired delicacies to life in eye-catching ways. Passionate, talented, and attentive to details, she likes to work closely with clients who request her services. Carrie specializes in bespoke cakes, and she loves using her artistry and craft to do justice to all manner of visions. Her approach is epitomized by the fact that she only books up to 90 weddings per year. This means that she can concentrate all of her efforts on making each cake as wonderful, personal, and delectable as it deserves to be.
Together with her assistant, Carrie works diligently for every almost-newlywed. Before any baking is undertaken, Carrie likes to carry out consultations and private tasting sessions. These can be scheduled in advance and they offer a chance for ideas to be shared, designs to be discussed, and flavors to be savored. Cupcakes, sugar cookies, and other sweet treats can also be made by Buttercream Dreams—and these would be ideal as late-night snacks with some hot beverages. Other features provided by this service include delivery, setup, cake stands, and more.

Carrie was amazing as our cake vendor! The tasting we had with her was delicious, and everyone loved our snickerdoodle cake! She even helped us to customize cupcake flavors, like a vanilla-mocha cupcake, in addition to the pink raspberry champagne and s’mores cupcakes! Everything was a hit, and she designed the most GORGEOUS cake with pressed flowers!

My husband and I loved everything working with Buttercream Dreams! The tasting set up was easy and loved every single thing she prepared. She also gave many great suggestions of combos for us to do! Our cake was beautiful and tasted oh so good. We left with so many cupcakes and I’ve enjoyed them even a week later! The pricing was also very reasonable! If you’re in the area, definitely reach out to Buttercream Dreams! You will not be disappointed!

Carrie was so easy to work with and made the whole wedding cake process a breeze! From the initial tasting to her excellent communication, to the delivery on the big day. We ordered a two-tiered cake, a kitchen cake, and cupcakes. The cake looked exactly as I envisioned it, and was absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Our guests raved over the cupcakes. She is highly recommended!

We worked with Carrie on our cake and cupcakes for our June wedding at Keswick Vineyards and everything was absolutely perfect!! For starters, not only are her cakes absolutely beautiful, but I found them to be very reasonably priced for the amazing quality you get. She is great at turning your vision into reality. What really impressed me is that she was willing to work with my husband's many allergies (gluten, dairy) so that he could get cake at the wedding as well! Our wedding cake was bridal white with lemon buttercream and chocolate cake with mocha icing. We also got red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing and snickerdoodle cupcakes (gluten free). SO, SO delicious! We highly recommend Carrie to fulfill all your wedding cake dreams :).

We loved working with Carrie at Buttercream Dreams LLC to select our wedding cake for our special day at Guildford Farm. She set up a wonderful tasting for us that allowed us to consider flavor combinations we would have never thought of had we not had this opportunity. Though our favorite has always been Red Velvet we chose Pink Champagne cake with Raspberry Buttercream and Almond cake with Blackberry Buttercream in addition to the Red Velvet. Those new flavors were equally amazing. Carrie was a great partner with our vendors and decorated the cake beautifully with the flowers provided by our florist. She did a beautiful job with delicious results!

Carrie was wonderful to work with and was very friendly. She made the most beautiful cake for our wedding day and it tasted amazing. We received so many compliments throughout the evening from our guests about how delicious the cake was. Carrie worked with my florist to create the floral design on the cake. At the beginning of the process, Carrie sent us small batches of cakes, icing, and jam through the mail to taste test since we are not local to the area. The price of the cake was great for the quality. I would definitely recommend Buttercream Dreams to anyone looking for a delicious and beautiful cake. My husband and I can't wait to eat the top tier on our anniversary!

Carrie did an absolutely amazing job with our cake and cupcakes! We went with a small two tiered white almond cake for just us, and three types of cupcakes for our guests. They were absolutely delicious!! We had a bunch of people tell us after the wedding about how good they were. On top of being very good, they were also really pretty as well! You honestly can't go wrong with going with Carrie, and she has a ton of different flavors to choose from as well!

We ordered our wedding cake, cupcakes, and a surprise birthday cake for my now husband through Buttercream Dreams and everything was perfect! Our tasting was by far, the most fun part of the entire wedding planning process and we had lots of favorite flavor combinations, it was difficult to narrow down choices but Carrie helped with that as well. We ended up going with a dark chocolate cutting cake with peanut butter buttercream frosting for our wedding cake, snickerdoodle cupcakes (which our guests devoured), dark chocolate cupcakes, and almond cupcakes with almond buttercream frosting. Everything was delicious and Carrie was so helpful with advice on the color of our cake (which was a rich, emerald green) and helping me surprise my now husband with his birthday cake which he loved and was thrilled to have his own cake. She worked great with our other vendors and we found her very reasonably priced as well. Highly recommend her for any baked goods in any future events.

I got married October 1, 2022 and am so grateful that I was able to work with Carrie from Buttercream Dreams to create a beautiful and delicious cake for my day! Carrie was amazing to work with throughout the entire planning time and was responsive and open to my thoughts and questions. She was able to help combine several ideas I had found online into exactly what I was envisioning, and had SO many traditional and unique flavors to pick from. I was planning my wedding from out of state, and Carrie was even able to ship us some of her most popular cake options, with frosting, for us to do our tasting without having to drive all the way to meet with her! The flavors we ended up picking were absolutely perfect (we got to have 2 flavors, for no extra charge), and all of our guests loved the options. Carrie is a wonderful, local VA vendor who offers great prices and even better service! You can't go wrong working with her. Thank you again, Carrie, for helping to make our day extra special and tasty! :)

Carrie was absolutely incredible! My now husband and I are both gluten and dairy free and she was willing to work with us to make a cutting cake that was beautiful and that we could eat! All of our guests raved about the cupcakes as well. The hardest part was choosing from all of the wonderful flavor options offered! Thanks again for everything Carrie.

Carrie Ashton went above and beyond for our wedding cake and sweet treats. I brought a few inspiration pictures to the initial consultation and she was able to recreate the essence of the designs perfectly- going as far as to HAND PAINT the marbling detail on the cake! I had raving reviews from my guests about her delicious cake, cookies, and brownies. I would easily book with her again!

Carrie was a legitimate dream to work with! She was patient and flexible in every sense, even mailing us samples when we couldn't quite find a tasting time that worked. She also worked with our florist to pick up our flowers and delivered both to our venue at Shenandoah National Park (saving us a florist delivery fee and further coordination).
The cupcakes she made were an absolute hit and we had barely any left over. Our guests were so excited about the flavors - as were we. Would 100% recommend Carrie!

Carrie was great to work with for our June 2022 wedding. She was very detail oriented and wanted to make sure all the colors matched our wedding scheme. She was able to make us a tasting box prior to choosing, and it was so hard to choose flavors because they were all amazing! She helped me figure out how many cupcakes I would need based on guest count and cake size. Her pricing is very fair and she is prompt and courteous! We cant wait to celebrate our one year anniversary with our saved top tier!

I cannot believe how delicious the cupcakes and cake for our wedding were. They were by far the best cupcakes I have ever had and they are also gorgeously done to top it off. Carrie was a pleasure to work with and was attentive and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. I am so beyond pleased with my experience with her.

Carrie was an absolute pleasure to work with and an amazingly talented baker. She baked us the most delicious and adorable wedding cake (which was styled like a birch tree - I will add photos when we get them back!) and three different flavors of cupcakes for our wedding. We also decided we wanted to order pie from her, and she helped us troubleshoot and found another local baker to make my wedding pie dreams come true! All of our guests raved about the taste of everything - my dad is STILL talking about the almond wedding cake. She even came to our venue in the middle of Shenandoah National Park to deliver and set up our picture perfect wedding dessert spread.
Carrie was also just a wonderful and warm person. She was easy to get in touch with if we had questions, and coming to her home for our tasting was one of the most fun wedding-related activities we did (aside from the wedding itself, of course!). I am so glad we found her!

Thank you for our incredible wedding cake, Buttercream Dreams, LLC!!!! Carrie was BEYOND a joy to work with from the initial phone call to our amazing tasting & guidance on creating the cake of our dreams within our budget & providing well beyond what we thought we could afford to her gorgeous attention to detail to our guests rave reviews, she's kind, fun to be around, informative & super-competent & did everything beyond perfectly! The tasting was FUN & generous! It was hard to choose, but we went with Chocolate with Mocha Icing, Lemon with Raspberry Cream Cheese Icing & Almond with Cherry Preserves (or Jam?). All of them were awesome! There are so many things that can go wrong with weddings, but I never worried for a moment about our cake! :D The only thing that went wrong is catering didn't send us home with nearly enough leftovers! ;) Brides and grooms- definitely request all of the leftovers if anyone leaves them, because you'll be sad not to have more of the cake & people will ask for it! ;D And if anyone is wondering if it's worth a drive from Richmond or beyond to Weyer's Cave, a thousand times, yes, it is!

Buttercream Dreams did a phenomenal job of bringing to life exactly what we were looking for in our wedding cake!
Carrie was so awesome to work with! She was prompt in communicating with us, friendly, professional, and truly an artistic baker. When we completed our tasting with Carrie we fell in love with the large array of flavors we got to choose from--each of them delicious and hard to choose final options.
The day of the wedding, Carrie arrived to put our cake together, add the floral swag, and bring to life our dream envisioning of our wedding cake.
We highly recommend Buttercream Dreams to anyone looking for artistic design, delicious cake, and a friendly and warm experience!

I was working as a day of event coordinator for a wedding yesterday. The folks setting up linens and tableware were two hours late. Carrie had finished setting up her amazing cake and noticed my plight! She jumped in and stayed well over an hour helping me and the vendor set up for the wedding. Absent her help, guests would have been arriving as the vendor was still setting up! It’s amazing enough that her cakes are the best but to help the way she did was so very thoughtful and more than appreciated. Thank you Carrie!!!

We really enjoyed working with Carrie, and she made beautiful, delicious treats for our big day. We had quite the spread for our tasting, where she genuinely took time to make sure she knew what we wanted. We ended up going with four cupcake flavors and a bride/groom cutting cake (flavors are the hardest part to choose!). Everyone raved about the cupcakes, and I was grateful to have some left over that we quickly polished off. Very reasonable price, great customer service and delicious cakes!!

I couldnt be happier with out wedding cake and cupcakes. She was extremely honest with us at our first meeting about our design, it would be difficult on the cake we wanted so she showed us an alternative that we fell in love with. Fast forward to the day before our wedding she emailed me and said that design was also not coming out as planned and she ended up hand piping our design and sent us a picture, I swear it was prettier than any design we could have picked out. She went above and beyond to make sure our cake was exactly what we wanted and kept us in the know the whole time. Her pricing is also very affordable, even with delivering the cake to our venue it was still at least 30-40% cheaper than others we had looked at. Lastly, my husband and I had some cupcakes left over that we took our honeymoon and finally decided to eat them 6 days after the wedding and they were still just as fresh and moist as the day of our wedding! I would recommend Buttercream Dreams to anyone needing a cake or cupcakes for any kind of special event!!!

After conducting a couple of cake tastings, we found Carrie and Buttercream Dreams. Carrie was very patient with us as we selected our cupcake flavors for our wedding and even provided suggestions. She helped to suggest decorative cupcake liners and a topper that would go with my theme. Everything looked wonderful the day of the wedding and tasted phenomenal! So glad we found her!

After a few underwhelming tastings with other vendors, we found Carrie and Buttercream Dreams on WeddingWire.com. A little hesitant at first, we decided to take the leap and schedule a tasting with Carrie at her home office. We were blown away! Carrie’s entire basement has been converted into a baker’s dream. We arrived and she welcomed us with open arms. She presented us with a variety of cake flavors and toppings, allowing us to taste and discuss at our own pace. Any questions we had along the way she welcomed and answered completely. We are not the most decisive of couples, but Carrie was there to steer us in the right direction. Over about 1 year, we were in close contact with Carrie about our cake/cupcake designs and were so excited to see the final product(s). The cake was stunning – and tasted amazing too! Not a single slice or cupcake was left at the end of the night. We received so many compliments on her work. 5-stars! Thanks Carrie! P.S. You MUST order the maple bacon pancake cupcakes if you ever get a chance.

Carrie is wonderful! From start to finish she went above and beyond. When we met for the tasting, my husband could not attend, so she made a second set of all of the cupcakes for me to take home. The week of the wedding she coordinated directly with the florist and venue to ensure everything was taken care of. And finally, the cake that she made was not only beautiful, but delicious, and we received numerous compliments from our guests.

Absolutely hands down best cake!!! Our wedding cakes were absolutely fantastic. Super moist and just amazing. We couldn't choose just 1 flavor because they were all so great! She made me a believer of Bridal White and Lemon!! She even custom made us Blue Velvet since our colors were navy and yellow! I showed her pictures of what I wanted and she showed me something similar that I loved even better! Such a delightful person to work with! Thanks Carrie!

Carrie's cupcakes for our wedding were perfect. We loved them so much that we intentionally hid a few so that we could indulge in them again for breakfast.

Carrie is the best! We discovered her and a bridal show and after one bite we knew she was going to be our cake baker. When went for the tasting she made full size cupcakes and enough for everyone tasting t have a full cupcake of every flavor she made, AND she let us take home the leftovers. She is one of the most organized people I have ever met. When I saw how clean her shop was and how organized it was, I had no doubt o wasn't going to have to worry about her with timing or anything. Our cake was beautiful and delicious. We even had three different flavors and it wasn't a problem! I would highly recommend Buttercream Dreams.

Carrie made us an absolutely beautiful (and delicious) cake for our wedding! Our cake was exactly the way I imagined it and it was so cool to see Carrie bring our vision to life. When we first met Carrie for our consult and tasting, we loved every sample put before us, and we were blown away by all the different options we had for making our cake. I brought in a few pictures of cakes I saw online and liked, and Carrie was able to sketch a cake up right there in front of us, combining all the features we liked from the different cakes. It was great!
On the day of our wedding our cake looked fantastic! Our guests loved both the design and taste. Our cake toppers accidentally got left behind the night of our wedding and Carrie found them the next day, carefully packaged them up and mailed them to me at my home! She is so nice and amazing to work with. Thank you, Carrie!

Carrie made the most amazing wedding cake for our September 28th wedding. We had four different flavors thinking our 120 guests could choose which one they wanted, and noticed that many of our friends and family took multiple pieces so they could try them all! It was beautifully decorated with a simple gold ribbon with pearls of frosting to mimic the wrap on our bridesmaid bouquets, and Carrie added flowers that our florist, Blakemore Flowers left to make a stunning addition. We couldn't have been more thrilled!
