Cory is such a loving and genuine person! His cake flavors are unique and taste AMAZING! He also did an assorted dessert table for us which was a big hit, all while staying in our budget.
Corey did an amazing job on our wedding cake! It was absolutely beautiful! He is also a wonderful person to work with. He is so sweet, and he makes sure to get back to you if you have any questions or need anything. Amazing artistry on the cake, and the best customer service!
Corey made us the most beautiful wedding cake that tasted like heaven! He is absolutely wonderful to work with and truly made us feel special. Everything was executed perfectly and we received so many compliments on how delicious the cake tasted!!! Thank you, Corey! We love you!
My husband and I were lucky enough to have a four-tier wedding cake made by Corey at our wedding reception in May of 2022. It was honestly the best wedding cake I've ever had! We went with half coconut and half vanilla cake with the vanilla champagne frosting, and it was to die for. The cake looked gorgeous and tasted like heaven. We got SO many compliments on it and could not wait to eat the leftovers! Corey was so fun and nice and was a pleasure to work with. He delivered the cake on time and made the process so easy. I highly recommend Corey's Bakery!
I got referred by another bakery to Corey's because I waited until the last minute to order my cake and I am so glad that I did they did an amazing job & I'm not local I'm from Michigan so I had to order my cake over the phone without even tasting which made me nervous but they blew it out of this world and it was some of the best cake I have ever had and it was beautiful! Must try their Vanilla Champagne flavor ❣
Thank you so much!

I honestly do not think I have ever had better cake than Corey's. Most wedding cakes are known for the good looks, but lack-luster taste. Not Corey's. You can have a beautiful cake, and eat it too. I had guests rave about it, and going for SECONDS. The cake was worth every penny. Not to mention, Corey and his staff are genuine, kind, and passionate about what they do. HIGHLY recommend!
We hired Corey for our wedding with 70 guests on St. Pete Beach and knew we wanted cupcakes with a top tier. Our reception was under a tiki hut, so we didn't need to oversell the beach theme; we wanted retail style cupcakes with an ombre top tier - and I bought and assembled my own stand - so easy when working with Corey! We sampled several bakeries and liked Corey the best - his attitude, his style, his flavors and his prices were hands down better than all the rest. We had the Caribbean Cooler, Peanut Butter and Irish Mocha Madness flavors and could have picked even more! We didn't want all the stuffy locked-in packages - Corey knows his stuff and works with you the whole way. It was SO nice having some personality in all of the wedding planning chaos. After tasting his yummy masterpieces, we ordered extra cupcakes so that after the wedding we would have plenty to enjoy for the next week and I am so glad we did! The flavors and textures were SO MUCH better than we expected. The reviews are true! He's got some kind of magic in that bakery. The venue made a mistake that messed up the presentation of our cake/display and never put our topper in the right place (I can't imagine how they messed that up!) after Corey delivered it (and wouldn't let him set up even though it was in my contract to let him in) and Corey himself, NOT the venue, offered to make us a small anniversary cake since he felt so bad. He's all love and sweet as the cakes he bakes. And he's got our thumbs up, 5 stars, kudos and whatever else. Check him out - then book him. He's your guy! Thank you SO MUCH Corey!
Possibly the best cake I've ever had! Our guests loved it and it was such a beautiful cake. 10/10, would recommend!
We choose Corey for our May 12 wedding and i can’t thank him enough for making our dream cake more than perfect!! Thank you Corey for being so helpful and sweet through out our wedding process!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Simply amazing. His rapid responses, his genius design ability, and most importantly and outstanding his perfect taste!! So satisfied, my only let down was the cake was so good we barely had any left to keep for us!! Hahaha! Thank you so much for contributing to our special day exactly what we wanted beyond our expectations!
Corey is AMAZING! Our cake was a dream come true - beautiful AND delicious! I highly recommend using Corey for your cake needs!
The cake was beautiful and exactly how we visioned it! We had half tropical and vanilla and both flavors were delicious! All of our guests loved it. I honestly didn't know what I wanted when I first went into our consultation meet with Corey, but he knew immediately what would look perfect based on just wedding colors. Corey did such an amazing job! We can't wait to eat our top tier for our 1st year anniversary! We highly recommend him for any future events!
Corey did cupcakes for my wedding, 6 different flavors, and a beautiful top tier for my husband and I. He also did my husbands grooms cake and it was beautiful and delicious. I def recommend the red velvet cake. The only problem was that they did not provide the cupcake stand I rented, so luckily my venue had other things to set up my cake/cupcakes. I called Corey and told him what happened (he was out of town during my wedding) and he is fixing it by making us a brand new top tier for our one year anniversary! Cant wait to have more of his cake!
Simply put, Chef Corey is nothing short of a cake-baking genius. Didn’t everything taste pretty much the same while you were going from bakery to bakery? Something like sugary Crisco on cardboard? That was my experience too, at least until we set foot in Corey’s cozy little shop – our taste buds went into overdrive with all of his delicious, fresh, nowhere-near-average flavors – his version of a chocolate cake is pretty amazing too. And that frosting….. if you gave me a bowl of it right now, I would dive right in. He can create any kind of fanciful design you can think up, so I can understand why he was skeptical of the very simple white cake with no decoration I had envisioned – but to his credit, he bit his tongue and made it anyway, and it turned out even more beautiful than I could have hoped. All our guests loved the key lime and guava flavors we chose, and we ordered an extra-big cake so I am still eating leftovers a week later! You will not be disappointed!
Corey was awesome and very personable. I even friended him on FB to keep in touch!! His talent is just beginning to take off and be noticed and I'm so glad he came with our catering package.
Our cake, was exactly as I envisioned it and tasted just as good.
Thank you!! <3 <3

First off, Corey is such a personable guy who is so helpful with everything! The cake tasting was great & I fell in love with all his flavors!!! If you want the most delicious cake ever for your wedding, go to him!! I will definitely use him again for any future events & whenever I'm craving his vanilla champagne cake (which is always) !
Corey's Bakery was by far the best tasting cake of the 3 tastings we participated in. They make all of their flavorings in house and do not fluff any of the flavors using fillers and their cake is full of moisture and not dried out at all. Guests complemented how great tasting our wedding cake was and when we brought our left over cake to brunch the following morning - guests again talked about how great it was. The cake turned out beautiful and was simply elegant with their vanilla champagne flavoring. I would highly recommend Corey's to anyone getting married in the area.
Wonderful! Corey and Kristen were such a pleasure to work with! From the tasting to my actual wedding day, everything was perfect! We received a lot of compliments, everyone loved our wedding cake! Whenever we're in Palm Harbor, we stop in for cake! Definitely recommend!
Corey was absolutely amazing to work with and a total joy to be around! He had me smiling from the moment I met him. His cake flavors are out of this world!! I could not tell you how many compliments I received from guests on the way my cakes/cupcakes looked and tasted! I would securely order from Corey again and recommend him to everyone! Love, Amber and Kevin Brewer
Cakes were delicious and beautiful! I didn't have to worry about my guests enjoying the sweetest part of my wedding. :)
Amazing! Chef Corey and his team created a beautiful cake & cupcakes for my wedding - they were absolutely delicious and a huge hit!
There are so many important details in planning the perfect wedding - and the cake is a BIG one ! We are so unbelievably happy to have had Corey create the perfect cake for my daughter's wedding. She had met with Corey while attending our caterer's monthly tasting event, and she was so impressed with his artistry and incredible flavors that she decided on the spot that he was "the one". Unfortunately, she waited until only 2 1/2 weeks before the ceremony to lock down Corey as our cake vendor - and called while he was on vacation too! Not only did he go out of his way, on very short notice, to create the most wonderful, beautiful cake, personalized to my daughter and her new hubby's line of work as musicians - but it was also the most INCREDIBLE-tasting cake I have ever had! That is quite a statement for me to make, as I **love** cake and never pass up a chance to eat it - I just cannot say enough good things about the service, presentation and flavor of this incredible work of edible art. Thank you, Corey, for your part in helping my daughter have the perfect wedding !
Last night my fiance and I visited Chef Corey for a cake tasting. Typically, cake is not my sweet of choice, but I was in love with all the flavors we tried. We both agreed the Caribbean Cooler was our favorite, it tasted just like key lime pie. We decided on a 5-tier cake for our weddings, and we had a hard time narrowing it down to flavors because we loved everything we tried. Corey also seemed to understand my vision for the visual appearance of the cake, I am excited to see the final product. Overall, we had a great experience at our tasting, Chef Corey was fun to talk with and we loved his cakes. I can't wait to treat our guests to our wedding cake!
Update 01/16/2017 - Our wedding cake was beautiful! We received so many compliments on the look and taste of our wedding cake. Can't wait until our first anniversary so we can thaw our top tier and treat ourselves again!
My husband and I met with Corey at the recommendation of our officiant and we are so glad that we did! His cakes are amazing! We had the chocolate mocha cake at our rehearsal dinner and it was so delicious. Everyone raved about it! For the wedding, we did a mixture of raspberry and vanilla. They were both so good and literally almost everyone there mentioned how delicious the cake was! It was the only thing I was able to eat at the reception because I was not leaving without at least getting in some cake!!! We did do tastings at two other places but literally one bite of cake from chef Corey and we were sold! It was a great choice and the cake looked amazing too! You will not be disappointed if you choose a cake by Corey.
Very pleased with our experience meeting Corey and tasting his cakes. I took a gamble on this business because of the location of the store in relation to our venue and even where we live, but I'm SO GLAD I decided to check out Corey's Bakery & Catering anyway. What drew me in was the unique list of flavors Corey has to offer on his website. He has some of the most unique flavors I have ever seen. Corey accommodated my very inflexible schedule and still managed to whip up a very professional, yet fun, tasting appointment and consultation. The first thing that grabbed our attention (besides the list of flavors), is the fact that everything Corey uses is all natural. He even makes his own vanilla extract! How's that for dedication to quality? The cakes he makes are amazing. So flavorful and definitely unique - they don't even need filling...you won't even find a list of fillings on his menu. Our biggest issue was trying to narrow down what flavors we wanted to use for our cake - so many to choose from that were all SO YUMMY! This was our first cake tasting and I knew we didn't need to go anywhere else. Corey is passionate about his work and we are so excited about working with him. We can't wait to see what he comes up with for our design too, as his cakes look just a wonderful as they taste!
UPDATE March, 2016: our cake was one of the only highlights of our reception. Truely saved the day after lousy food and a bad DJ. Our cake was gorgeous too. We left the entire design to Coreys discression, and it tasted phenomenal. Our guests couldn't compliment it enough. The unique flavors blew them away. I finally got to eat some leftovers last night.. Still as moist and amazing as it was three days ago! I wish I could give Corey and his blossoming business 10 stars!
There was no leftover cake after my reception! The champagne vanilla with buttercream was a huge hit! I heard from several people that they went back for seconds. And Corey was great about customizing a design for us! It was beautiful and just what I pictured. I definitely recommend Corey's Bakery, and I will be sure to go back for cupcakes next time I'm in town!
Delicious and Beautiful cakes! Amazing customer service!!! People are still raving about how delicious our wedding cake was! He custom designed an amazing cake with delicious flavor combination - vanilla champagne, red velvet, strawberry, and lemon. He has a fun and beautiful spirit and extremely professional! Thanks Corey for your excellent work!!
I am such a foodie and knew I was going to be so picky with my cake. One taste of Corey's cakes at a tasting, and I was hooked. Corey is an absolute pleasure to work with - always with a huge smile on his face. He worked with our budget to create literally the most perfect cake I could have imagined for us. A four tier stunner of the top and bottom tiers with cinnamon, one tier of lemon raspberry and another of chocolate peanut butter. We ended up with the whole bottom tier after the wedding (along with our top tier), which was such a delight to keep having this perfect cake over and over again. I only sent over a few photos for designs and was honestly a little worried because I felt I may not have been specific enough - but when I saw it - I was absolutely blown away. Corey, thank you for meeting our every wish when it came to our wedding cake - totally made my dreams come true!!!
We used Corey's Bakery & Catering for a small wedding cake/cupcake tower, and it was absolutely delicious! Our main dessert for our reception was an ice cream sundae bar, but I wanted a small cake for us to cut at the reception, plus a few cupcakes for anyone who wasn't a fan of ice cream. Corey made us a beautiful Irish Mocha Madness 6-inch round cake for us to cut/serve to each other (I wanted to eat the entire thing - oh my goodness! so tasty), and 100 mini cupcakes - a mixture of vanilla champagne, chocolate fudge, and pumpkin spice with cream cheese icing. They delivered it and set it up on a tiered tower, and it looked fantastic at the reception. Everyone loved the cake and the cupcakes, and commented on how moist and delicious they were. I highly recommend Corey's Bakery!! Their flavor combinations will have something for everyone.
