Where to begin? The variety? The customer service? The flavors themselves?! CaraMel’s outdid themselves for my wedding and I couldn’t be happier. I got a little bit of so many desserts for all the guests to pick and choose and so many people walked up to me to rave about this or that. I know I’ll be using them again for future events.

Chef Mel was great to work with, we rented the cake stand from her as well which was super helpful. Everyone enjoyed the cake at the wedding except for me. I am vegan so she was able to make me a vegan cake but sadly it didn't get delivered the day of the wedding. She was able to grant me a partial refund and made a new vegan cake for me which I appreciated.

th you, and I’m so glad to hear everyone enjoyed the wedding cake. I deeply regret that your vegan cake didn’t arrive as planned on the wedding day, and I truly appreciate your understanding as we worked to make it right. Your satisfaction is very important to me, and I’m glad we were able to resolve the situation with a new cake and a partial refund. Congratulations again on your wedding, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of your special day! ❤️

Chef Mel did our wedding cake in Spring 2024.
I would first like to say that it was very nice to find someone who offered Gluten Free + Organic wedding cake! That was absolutely not easy to find.
We went test tasting and it was absolutely phenomenal. We chose almond for both our buttercream frosting and cake flavor. It had the PERFECT amount of sweetness!
I sent her my idea for how I would like the cake to look, and she did a fairly decent job replicating it. (Although I will say the finer details looked rushed and clunky)
The reason for the 3 star review is mainly about how it tasted on my wedding day.
It was OVERWHELMINGLY sweet and she added FAR too much almond extract - to the point that it was all we could taste. 😓😥 almost like eating an almond scented candle or something.
I've been reluctant to leave a review because I appreciate her work and love to support small businesses, as I own one myself. But months later and I could not shake the disappointment in the cake on the day of my wedding. It seems that she either doesnt follow a recipe or a mistake was made.
& if I were being perfectly honest, I do completely understand that she did not have her own bakery, but I will say that going to an American Legion to taste test our wedding cake was rather strange. A drunk women was mumbling towards us 😵💫
Also the cake she gave us to test was literally 1 small bite served in the smallest paper medicine cup that you can imagine. Upon our arrival she told us that she does not do free taste testing (her website says otherwise) which is why she gave us such a small portion for testing. If she would have told us beforehand that we needed to pay, we would have.
We paid an insane amount for this cake and did not feel this was reflected in the service or final product. 😓
Vendor response 12/09/2024
Thank you for your feedback and for choosing me for your special day. I’m glad you appreci...
ated the gluten-free and organic options and enjoyed the tasting. I’m truly sorry the final cake didn’t meet your expectations, and I’ll use your input to improve for the future.
To clarify, while I don’t have a traditional storefront, I am a real bakery and specialize in creating custom cakes in a licensed shared kitchen. For tastings, I currently use shared spaces to accommodate clients.
Our website does mention that custom tastings are charged, but I’ll make sure this information is clearer moving forward and continue working to improve the overall experience for our clients.
Thank you for supporting small businesses and for sharing your thoughts. I truly appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve moving forward.

Mel baked us our wedding cake and wedding desserts and they tasted more than delicious. The consistency and taste were phenomenal. My wedding guests were going on and on about the mini donuts, cannolis, and vanilla cake with cannoli filling. I even had a pregnant wedding guest who told me that was her only pregnancy craving after! You can really tell the amount of time, effort, and passion she puts into her baking and I can’t thank her enough for making my wedding day so special! She even decorated the cake with our dog cake toppers perfectly which everyone loved! I high recommend Mel for any of your cake/ dessert needs!

Mel will bring your vision to life! And the flavors? Out of this world! I don’t even like cake and I LOVE her cake flavors.
If you’re looking for a bakery that combines artistry with deliciousness, look no further than Caramel’s Bakery. She will make your wedding day even more special, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!

This was the most AMAZING wedding cake!! Most importantly the taste was awesome!! The design and detail was perfect!! We didn’t save the topper because it was so good! We just kept eating it! Additionally I commend their professionalism because my wedding was at Clearwater Beach between hurricane Helene and hurricane Milton. Despite these challenges for them both personally and professionally they still fulfilled our order and it was absolutely perfect!!

If you’re looking for a bakery that truly understands the art of cake-making, look no further than CaraMel's Bakery, owned by the incredibly talented Chef Mel. We had the pleasure of having our wedding cake designed by her, and it was nothing short of a masterpiece.
From our very first meeting, Chef Mel took the time to listen to our vision and incorporate every detail we wanted. The result was a stunning cake that was a perfect reflection of our simple yet elegant theme. It looked exactly like the inspiration we provided—down to the last detail.
But what truly set this cake apart was the taste. It was unbelievable! We had guests raving about it all night long. The flavor was rich and moist, and every bite was a delight. People were coming up to us to ask where we got it, and it became the talk of the reception.
Chef Mel's passion for her craft shines through in both the visual and flavor profiles of her creations. If you want a wedding cake that not only looks incredible but also tastes heavenly, CaraMel's Bakery is the place to go. We are beyond grateful for the experience and can’t recommend Chef Mel enough!

We did a travel destination from PA to FL. The entire day was horrendous just because of (most) of my vendors. Chef Mel was the only vendor that didn't cause me a problem. She was so pleasant to work with, very communicative and kind. She never made it seem like I was bothering her and made our vision for our dessert vision come true. I had so many compliments on the desserts and I thought I would have so many desserts left over, but I actually did not! We froze out cake for our 1 year anniversary, but Chef Mel is going to make our 1 year anniversary cake for us. I could not be happier with her services!

Chef Mel from CaraMel’s Bakery was the best! She was extremely humble and caring, we had so many professional and kind interactions with her! She was very understanding and flexible with how we wanted our cake and catered to our needs! I can’t say enough good things about her as a person, she made getting our desert for our wedding a walk in the park! Let’s talk about our cake….Oh My God was it out of this world delicious!!! We had 3 different layers and 3 different flavors, we had almond, peach, and dulce de leche and the flavors were knocked out of the park…mouth watering good! Every single one of our guests raved about the cake as did we and the icing I can’t even explain how delicious…blown away!!! We also had other pastries which were cannolis and eclairs and so good our guests didn’t even wait till desert to start picking away at those!! CaraMels Bakery is a 10 out of 10!!!! I can’t recommend enough!!!

My husband and I got married in December of 2023 and I want to warn all the "brides and grooms to be" who are looking for a vendor, to highly consider hiring someone else. The tasting was wonderful, we met with Melian (Chef Mel) “the owner” and she'd prepared a selection of different cakes of different flavors to try. We showed her a picture of a wedding cake I'd liked on Pinterest and it matched our royal blues and had the effect of snowfall to match our winter theme on the water (we got married on the Yacht Starship - also a 1 star review) and she said she could make it happen. We trusted her, ordered a selection of desserts with the cake, and communication was good leading up to our wedding day.
I received notification that her assistant would be dropping off the cake on our day-of, and provided me her name and number to reach out to her which I did on the eve of our wedding day to confirm the time of delivery. I also shared her information with our coordinator (who was supposed to handle the delivery - but more of that in my other review).
The afternoon of our wedding, the cake and desserts were due to arrive and be unloaded at 1:30pm (wedding guests arriving at 3:30pm). After 3pm our coordinator informed us the cake had not been delivered yet and asked me for the name and number of the vendor. We found out that our cake had been delivered to the wrong ship almost an hour away but were on their way - which ultimately resulted in our wedding ceremony and sailing time being delayed an hour!
Not only did this cause an awful ripple effect, including not being able to do a cake-cutting ceremony, but when we saw the cake we were shocked at how cheap it looked. It did not resemble what we had asked the chef to prepare at all - it was more a pale, ombre bluish color with random white pearls scattered around it in clumps (like our own cake had a breakout from the stress it endured) and was smeared like it absolutely had been bumped around or thrown together carelessly.
When we finally cut into the cake, it was dry and was the worst tasting cake I’d ever had, and not one of my guests ate it. There was a big red plastic straw of something too so when the cake was cut into, shreds and shards of red, sharp blades of plastic ended up in our cake!
We ended up throwing the WHOLE CAKE AWAY.
I WILL NEVER recommend CaraMel’s Bakery to any bride and groom, and I will never order from them again for any occasion. I was so angry, hurt, and disappointed in them - not only because they never called to confirm the details of delivery proactively, but then spending almost $1000 for something we couldn’t even eat, and after knowing they brought the cake to the wrong location and didn’t end up arriving until close to 4pm when they were supposed to be there at 1:30pm, I never received a phone call or an apology from Melian (Chef Mel) “the owner.”
Vendor response 03/29/2024
Hello Paige,
I apologize for any inconvenience you encountered with your recent order. It...
's important to clarify that the address you provided in the invoice was incorrect, which unfortunately led to the delivery mishap. As a result, I had to compensate my assistant double for the delivery, causing a delay that resulted in the cake softening up.
Upon reviewing the pictures of your cake later, I became concerned that it may not have met your expectations. My assistant and I diligently contacted all clients serviced during my absence to ensure satisfaction, but regrettably, we did not receive a response from you.
Despite these challenges, I proactively reached out to offer a partial refund to offset any inconvenience caused. Your satisfaction is paramount to me, and I am committed to resolving this matter promptly.
Please don't hesitate to contact me so we can arrange the refund and address any other concerns you may have.

Working in the wedding industry as a planner, I get to experience some truly talented vendors, and CarMel's Bakery is no exception. Their contribution to a recent wedding was a delightful experience for the taste buds!
The wedding cake was not just a dessert, it was a masterpiece. Visually, it was stunning, turning heads and eliciting 'oohs' and 'aahs' from the guests. But the real magic was in the taste – each bite was a perfect blend of moistness and flavor, leaving everyone wanting more.
CarMel's Bakery brings a combination of beauty and taste to the table that is hard to beat. Their cakes and cupcakes are not just treats, they are experiences that enhance any special occasion. Highly recommended for anyone looking to add a touch of culinary artistry to their event!

I ordered a cake for my son’s wedding in Clearwater, Florida from Virginia. CaraMel’s had excellent reviews and beautiful images of cakes on her website. She put enough information on the website for someone to be able to order a cake without physically coming into the store. I sent in a request form and told her what we needed and used a cake on her website as a guide. The resulting lemon semi naked wedding cake was beautiful, tasted delicious, and more importantly, was neither dry nor too sweet. Her ordering process was so simple that I got the ordering of the cake out of the way early and my mind was always at ease about that part of the wedding being taken care of. Although I don’t live in Clearwater, I would recommend her bakery to anyone!

I was able to get an appointment for a tasting with Chef Mel and she was so professional and explained everything to me with such patience. We decided to stick with a smaller cutting cake, and she executed our vision perfectly. We got so many compliments on our cake! I would definitely recommend Chef Mel to other brides.

We hired CaraMel's bakery for our wedding. I wanted a mixture of desserts (cupcakes, dessert shooters) and a 6" wedding cake for just my now husband and I. When I say they delivered - they nailed it! They are so easy to work with, offer suggestions, and the communication was amazing! They came and set up our desserts and it was perfect! We were able to mix and match different flavors and every one of them tasted better than the next. I was a little worried about using a bakery that I hired over the internet since we live in DE and the wedding was in FL, but there was no need to worry since they were professional from start to finish! I would definitely recommend CaraMel's for your pastry needs - especially wedding cakes!

Working with CaraMel’s bakery for my wedding cake was such a great experience. I am a wedding planner and have been in the industry for 10 years now. I had no ease or stress when working with this bakery. And the product delivered was above my expectations. The look of the cake was exactly what I had envisioned along with the taste. It tasted even better than when we tasted it. I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve worked with new cake bakers that do not deliver and it’s a huge let down, but this will not happen with CaraMel’s bakery. They will deliver above your expectations.

We had a pink Christmas themed wedding and Mel baked us a beautiful and delicious tiramisu flavored cake. Everyone gushed about how amazing it tasted and how beautiful it was. She even baked a mini gluten free cake for my gluten intolerant uncle. Mel also made the process so simple for us. Can't recommend her enough!

Chef Mel was fantastic. I’m dairy free and finding a baker for our wedding cake was not easy. But she was super communicative throughout the whole process, and the cake was delicious! Not a single piece was left!

CaraMel’s Bakery was some of the best tasting desserts I had ever had. The dolce de leche cake was out of this world! Would highly recommend her if you are planning your wedding or event!

We are beyond thrilled to have used CaraMel's for our wedding sweetheart cake and cupcakes. We live across the country so we weren't able to visit or test taste which was nervewracking, but the desserts were DELICIOUS. We got straightforward vanilla cake with rosette decorated icing. It looked beautiful. When we went to taste it, it was leagues better than I was expecting. So decadently and appropriately thick for a wedding cake with just the right amount of richness in flavor. We couldn't be more pleased with it!!!

Working with CaraMel's Bakery was a great experience! Our wedding was a bit unconventional because we wanted a mini-dessert table for our welcome reception and a donut tower for our morning wedding ceremony/reception. CaraMel's let us customize everything we wanted - and even provided GF/dairy free options for our guests. All our guests commented on how delicious the desserts AND donuts were! the staff who dropped everything off to the hotel were friendly and helpful.

Working with CaraMel’s and Chef Mel was a true delight. She took my vision and created the most beautiful and elegant cake. It was absolutely delicious. Everyone commented on how beautiful it was and on how delicious it was. She was also very accommodating. At the last minute I decided to have the cake delivered and they were fine with it. Loved working with CaraMel’s and will definitely do so again and recommend them too.

Mel made us the most beautiful cake. She exceeded our expectations in both the appearance of the cake and the taste. I shared an inspiration photo and the color scheme we wanted and Mel really went above anything I expected. Her price was very affordable. Her cakes are moist, flavorful, and made with fresh ingredients. She took lots of time during the tasting to get to know us and find out what we were looking for. We will definitely order from Mel again in the future and highly recommend The Colors of Food, LLC.

The lemon wedding cake was incredible! It was rich and moist and super flavorful, not at all like so many bland wedding cakes. Colors of Food Used real lemon and lemon zest to make this cake and the result spoke for itself.

I had the opportunity to indulge in one of their wedding cakes with 4 flavors!!! Wow so delicious. The flavors were vanilla, lemon, chocolate and almond. All four flavors were delicious but the almond was my favorite. That one was like a typical wedding cake flavor. It was sweet but not too sweet. The cake was dense but light at the same time if that makes any sense. And the frosting was just so thick and creamy. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! The cake itself before it was cut into was also beautiful.
