Karen Donatelli Cake Designs

friends are still talking about how tasty all the cupcakes and cakes were, and we can’t wait to go back for our anniversary to recreate our wedding cake. Any questions or changes we had during the process, Karen responded right away. Not only do they deliver, but they also decorated our cake/cupcake table. Such an amazing experience from start to finish!

the day of the wedding Karen delivered exactly what she promised. Everything was delicious and our guests loved the assortments we had chosen. Thank you Karen for your talent, I highly recommend anyone to look no further you won't be disappointed!

he area. Karen made my husband and I feel so special throughout the whole tasting process and planning of our cake. Karen was able to supply many suggestions to help us and we were so thrilled with how our cake turned out! Thank you so much Karen!

movie. We has four small bite desserts and a three layered cake, it was ALL GONE by the end of the night. Looking back at pictures from the wedding day every single post I saw someone photographed the stunning desserts and also made sure they knew where they could get more. I am very happy we had Karen make our desserts and we will continue to use her for any events in the future.

rprise. Everything was so delicious! Would absolutely recommend Donatelli Cake Designs for all your dessert needs!

LY like my inspiration, but it tasted even greater! We had forgotten our cooler at home to transport it to our venue, and she generously and creatively came up with several ideas to transport it safely. I could never say enough wonderful things!

works of art. Everything was not only delicious but beautiful, and we got so many compliments from our guests. From the first day we met Karen for a tasting she quickly grasped our vision and tone for the wedding and worked to ensure that our desserts were a part of that. One example of her attention to detail--after our tasting, she sent the leftover desserts home in a box wrapped with ribbons in our wedding colors! Karen was wonderful to work with and helped to make our wedding planning fun, easy, and stress-free. We would absolutely recommend her for your next special event--her artistry takes dessert to the next level!

cinnamon rolls were absolutely DELICIOUS. My husband's family baked an assortment of traditional family cookies and Karen went above and beyond her role by beautifully presenting these cookies at the wedding. Even though these were not her cookies, she put the time, effort and care into displaying these cookies--we were all so impressed and grateful. The dessert tables were definitely show stoppers!!

amisu wedding cake surrounded by an assortment of the most beautiful and delicious pastries! Not only were the confections devine, but Karen presented everything so creatively with beautiful trays and pedestals and flowers and greenery the florist provided. Thank you Karen for your sweet treats! We look forward to stopping by your new location for some of your divine desserts!

ered the cup cakes to the venue. She was even understanding when we had to change our wedding date a WEEK before due to a hurricane. She was so nice and very responsive. I loved working with her and I would recommend her to anyone!

ry competitive and the quality of cake is off the charts! If we are back in Asheville, we will probably find an excuse to use her again!

n away! She was the kindest and easiest person to work with. She listened to absolutely everything I envisioned and created it to a T. We had her created a 3 tier cake as well as 200 gluten free cupcakes. Our guests didn't even know the difference!! We hardly had any cake left and only a handful of cupcakes. Our venue told us that NEVER happens and there is normally and abundance of desserts left. Our cake table was exactly what I envisioned and everything tasted incredible. I am so thankful for Karen and her team!

tier. The cake was perfectly baked and the filling was to die for. Karen is the sweetest person to work with - she made us feel special and at ease during the entire planning process. I will miss phone calls with Karen! I didn't think I cared so much about the wedding cake until we had the best one I've ever tasted! Karen was one of our best vendors and made me thankful we got married in Asheville!

feel, one for helpfulness, one for excellent communication practices, one for the way she imbues love into her cakes, one for exceeding our expectations of complete delight. Having traveled from California for our wedding, we did nearly all of our planning via phone and e-mail. This felt like a gamble, until we flew out to meet with Karen for our cake tasting. We were blown away, and knew we could trust her with our special day. From then on, we simply said, “Here’s what we’d love. You GO, girl! Do your thing.” Everything was beyond perfect, and we micromanaged none of it. All of that being said, the desserts that graced our event were a bargain at any price. We treated our guests to mini cannoli, brandied cherry tarts, and a mocha cake for the rehearsal dinner. Absolutely divine. Our wedding cake was gorgeous and delicious, as was the side cake. Truth be told, when we had “narrowed it down to 4 cake flavors”, we decided not to decide on narrowing it down to the two for the wedding cake. That’s why we simply required the rehearsal dinner cake and the wedding day side cake! It WAS ALL TOO GOOD to NOT serve to our guests. Unforgettable.

etter than any wedding cake I had ever tasted. I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a wedding cake creation.

inspiration. As non-cake lovers, her cakes taste fantastic! A MUST!
