Chari is amazing! She so talented and easy to work with! Our cake was just as delicious as it was pretty! (I highly recommend the butter pecan with cream cheese frosting)
Response from the Vendor on 12/01/2024
Thank you Ana!!!! You were both a pleasure to work with and I wish you a lifetime of happiness 💝
We always use "The Cake Lady" at How Sweet It Is for ALL of our family birthday parties, so it was obvious we would use her for my wedding. The tasting session was delicious and she even went out of her way to make my daughter feel like a part of the process. Leading up to the day she altered some of our choices (as we changed our minds a few time) and the cake was perfect. She was there, on time, on the wedding day, and was so professional and helpful. We even made sure we got some pictures with her, for the wedding album, because she was such a big part of our day.

It's always an absolute pleasure to serve your family, but it was an absolute honor to serve your big day! I wish you and Flo the best and many, many years of happy memories!
Chari was amazing! I did not give her hardly any notice and she made my daughters wedding cake and it was delicious and beautiful. We were late getting into town and she let us pick up the cake at a different time than planned. I would give her 10 stars if I could.
Response from the Vendor on 09/10/2024
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad we could help you out and make your daughter's day special!

Omg!!! The best cake ever! We had no cake or cupcakes left and the groomsmen cake was all gone we did not get one slice! We were about to save our top piece for our anniversary!

It was a pleasure to serve you all reach out to me for your anniversary cake next year! I wish you both a lifetime of happiness ❤️
Talk about amazing! Chari worked with our crazy schedule and came back after closing to do a tasting to get the perfect combination for our wedding. Her and her favorite helper; her son; delivered the cake on time, and even went home and came back after we asked for more after delivery. Yes, we ended up being those people. She didn't even bat an eyelash. Also, I don't know about you, but I love a family ran business. The personal feeling and extra care we got from Chari did not go unnoticed. Our first size went from an anticipated 160 down to 22 due to a bunch of different unavoidable circumstances. Chari communicated with us daily as our numbers dwindled. The quality did not waiver as I'm sure we had to be bugging her, she showed no signs. Not only did she deliver perfection, but she also gifts a free anniversary small tier cake in case you don't want to our can't save your original cake to enjoy the Tradition. Thank you Chari, we will be in touch for our new daughter's 1 year cake!

I had always dreamed of using How Sweet it Is for a big event for my life and once I got engaged, she was my first call! My wedding cake was absolutely beautiful! I was more than happy and will definitely use her again soon!

Thank you so much! It was an honor and a pleasure to serve both you and Wayne on your special day! I wish you both the very best life has to offer!
Oh my goodness!! Where do I even begin! Chari was incredible! The communication was incredible first of all. Responded to everything in a timely manner. She was super sweet, super nice, and very personable. When we had our cake tasting, she added different fillings and icings and gave recommendations to different combinations. The invoices were super easy. Updated in real time every time a payment was made or something was adjusted. On the wedding day, she came and put the cake on the stand along with the cake topper and flowers we had left her! She is very knowledgeable and very thorough when explaining all the details! Makes this process super easy for a stressed bride! We had her do our grooms cake as well, which was a Mug filled with Corona. She even made it where he could pick it up!! If it was possible to give 100 stars, I would!

Thank you so much Ashley! I absolutely loved being a sweet part of you big day, and it was an honor to serve you and Phillip!
I can’t recommend enough! My husband and I used how sweet is it cake studio for our wedding and we were able to get the personal touches we wanted. The cake looked beautiful and tasted even better! I had so many people come up to me and tell me how delicious it was.
They create an environment where you know you can trust them. So if you’re starting to become a stressed bride, trust me just talk with them and then it’s one less thing on your list! And it will be done beautifully.

Thank you for your kind words Diana! It was an absolute pleasure to serve your big day and I wish you both the very best!

Thank you so much Elly & Ryan ;) I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!!
How Sweet It Is cake studio is an incredible company. Cheri, the owner, is a terrific communicator when it comes to cake details and how to realistically make your vision come to life. Not only did she research the designer of a cake I wanted to recreate but she selflessly went out of her way to ensure that logistically I would have the best stress free day possible. The only bad thing I have to say is how disappointed I am that I was unable to hire her for my wedding. For any other person searching for a cake artist, How Sweet It is should be your only destination.
Response from the Vendor on 03/16/2023
Thank you so much Olympia! I am so glad I was able to help you!! I would also have love to make this design for you but I feel better knowing you won't have to drive a long distance with it! I wish you both the very best!
The cake was AMAZING!! I got butter pecan/vanilla bean cake and pumpkin spice/red velvet cupcakes and they were absolutely amazing. She set up my cake exactly how I wanted. She's is one of the nicest, most down to earth, friendly and most importantly PROFESSIONAL person I've come in contact with in a long time.

Chari is very professional from our first meeting to the end. She was always responsive when we contacted her and did exactly what we asked for.
The food was incredible. The strawberry bridal cake was delicious and the cannoli's were all gone!!

Thank you so much Lynn!! It was my pleasure to serve the big day and I wish the new DiChiara's the very best!!!
Chari made the most beautiful and delicious wedding cake ever! She was able to accommodate for my dairy allergy and she’s a pleasure to work with. Would recommend 10/10!!

How Sweet It Is Cake Studio is the absolute best! Not only are the cakes delicious but, the customer service is top tier! The owner made sure we thoroughly went through everything that we wanted for our big day AND my Bridal Shower! I will be using this establishment for future events or just to order a cake, because the cakes are so good! Thank you so much for your services!

It was an honor to serve this special day for you Mrs. Ope! I am so glad you enjoyed it and I look forward to serving you again! I wish you many years of happiness!
I can not say enough good things about How Sweet It is Cake Studio! Chari is so easy to work with whether it’s last minute added details or coordinating drop off locations she is wonderful throughout the entire process! My husband was shocked to see his Tennessee themed grooms cake as it was a total surprise! The design was clean and eye catching, but the appearance wasn’t all, the inside was to die for! The house special, Panetela Borracha, is unique and delicious it still has my family and friends raving about it 3 years later!
Response from the Vendor on 12/07/2022
I'm so glad he loved it! Thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure to serve you and make it happen!
I can't say enough to express my satisfaction with this vendor. From the tasting to the delivery and setup, everything was carefully planned and delivered to perfection. My only regret is not ordering a bigger cake because the guests loved it so much we ran out before everyone got a slice. I would definitely use How sweet it is Cake studio for all my baking needs.
Response from the Vendor on 12/07/2022
It was an honor to serve your big day! I'm so happy you enjoyed it and look forward to seeing you again!
We went into our cake process not knowing what we wanted. How Sweet It Is really helped me and my now husband decide… In fact, we literally chose all FOUR flavors of cake that was provided during the cake tasting. Her flavors are SO unique and delicious and the cake was SO fresh. Literally everyone loved the cakes and cupcakes so much at our wedding, that we only got one bite - which was when we did our cake pictures!! We will forever use How Sweet It Is during all events because she made our wedding cake so special and so “us” and we made the absolute best decision!
Response from the Vendor on 11/08/2022
Thank you so much Jessie! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you both and I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Here's to many years of anniversary and special event cakes to come 🥂
When it comes to anything cakes, this is the place! She is so sweet and helpful! She generally cares about you not only as a customer but also as a person. Our wedding cake was amazing! During the taste testing, we wanted something chocolatey as our filling. She went to the back and prepared chocolate mousse for us to try. Other bakers would not do that. We came across her through a friend, but honestly it needs to be written that she is an amazing cake baker. 10000/10 recommend her!! The only taste I remember from my wedding day is the cake. It was so good!! I can’t wait for our one year anniversary to eat the top of the cake. Not only does she do a fantastic job with wedding cakes, I will be using her for any cakes in my future. Also! It was very affordable!! Fantastic cake for a fantastic price… please contact her now!

In the midst of the chaos planning a wedding can bring it's such a relief to find someone who is easy and fun to work with. I showed up with a million different ideas and Chari was able to pick the best of each one and put it together more beautifully than I imagined. All our guests were in awe.
Response from the Vendor on 01/24/2022
It is always fun to see your ideas blend into something beautiful. The look on your face was priceless and I am so happy to have been part of your special day! I wish you and John a lifetime of happiness together!

Response from the Vendor on 01/24/2022
It was an absolute honor and pleasure to serve your special day Miss Nina! Everything looked stunning and we wish you both the very best!
Wooo!! Is all I can say! From the first moment walking into the studio I knew I didn't want anyone else. My sister and mom were telling me to try other places but I knew this was the one. I tried a few other places and no one had a cake that was as moist and delicious. The "cake tasting" was cupcakes and I fell in love. Little did I know that the wedding cake was going to be even better! How sweet it is has the BEST tasting cake I have ever tasted and my family is from the country and they can cook a mean cake but this place outbakes them BIG TIME! Even the men at my wedding were talking about how good that cake was. I'm not even big on cake but I've gone back and ordered another cake just because it was so good! Overall great cake, great customer service, and very professional! Anyone who I know that is getting married will be referred here so I can eat some cake at their wedding lol!

Chari’s cakes taste and look wonderful! Chari is great to work with, even though we had to have a lot of changes (COVID bride) she was so understanding and very responsive.

Thank you Kim! It was an honor to serve your event and everything was absolutely beautiful.
Weddings are moments every bride looks forward to and the cake is the center of attention at every reception. When COVID-19 reduced our wedding to a party of 7, How Sweet It Is Cake Studio did not disappoint when it came to a beautiful and delicious cake! Thank you and we will be back for our next special event dessert.
Response from the Vendor on 06/30/2020
I am so happy to have been a small part of your special day! I am glad COVID-19 didn't totally ruin everything for you and wish you both the very best!
Chari is absolutely amazing!! Her cakes were by far the best we tasted during our hunt for a wedding cake. When we had our tasting it was so hard to choose a flavor, that instead of just picking one, we decided to do 3 cakes from her. She made our gorgeous wedding cake, grooms cake, as well as our rehearsal dinner cake. Everyone at our rehearsal dinner and wedding raved about our cake and we had many people request her information for their future cakes. Now a year after our original tasting, we called upon her again to make our baby reveal cake and of course she didn't disappoint! Needless to say, she'll be making all of our cakes for any special occasion and I can't recommend her enough for any future brides!!
Response from the Vendor on 01/27/2020

HI! I'm Chari, and I own and am the primary cake artist at the award winning How Sweet It Is Cake Studio. I started making cakes in my home in 2009, and quickly grew to love making events special for others with cake! After remodeling due to outgrowing that kitchen - TWICE haha, in 2016 due to the demand for my work I opened a brick and mortar studio in Columbus GA and continued to hone my skills by taking master classes to become who I am today. I pride myself in beautiful and delicious cakes, as well as in teaching others the art of "caking". I am honored to serve every client!
