A Special Touch - Cakes By Carolynn

Our wedding cake was just what I wanted - simple and elegant. Everyone loved it! The signature flavor we picked out was Amaretto raspberry swirl cake. It was delicious! Everyone that we worked with there was so nice and helpful. Jill especially was a joy to work with! They are very good at what they do and put out an excellent product for a very reasonable price.

The cake that I wanted was pretty basic but they did a wonderful job on it and it tasted wonderful.

YUM YUM YUM Pina Colada Cake with a Pineapple filling. Hands down - the best combination. I used these guys for my cake, delish! I loved the cake tasting so much I got all the flavors that wouldn't fit in my cake in my bridal shower cupcake cake. Everyone I know is hooked! I just got some cupcakes for my new husband's birthday party!

By far the BEST cake I have ever tasted. Simply amazing. They designed our wedding cake EXACTLY how I wanted and it turned out so beautiful. Our guests loved it so much we didn't even get to save the top tier and we had ordered more than the number of guests we had! I am ordering all my future cake for Carolyn for now on!

Delicious, delicious wedding cake! My sister and my brother both used CBC for their weddings so it only seemed natural for Jim and I to use them. But their high quality of service, professionalism and of course, DELICIOUS wedding cake really sealed the deal for us. We're really looking forward to enjoying our top tier a year from now. ;) Thank you all again!

We had a great meeting with Bonnie to choose our cake. The tasting was so much fun and made it very difficult to choose. We ended up going with a small 3-tier in one flavor (chocolate with fudge) and a sheet cake in another (raspberry amaretto swirl with raspberry filling). The cake was moist and delicious (not that I got to eat much of it) and it looked beautiful. Our design was sort of a combination of ones they had done before, so I knew what I was getting.We ordered a cake that served quite a few more guests than we had. At the end of the night, it was all gone. That should tell you how good it was.

Hands down the best wedding cake I've ever had, and Ive attended a Lot of weddings. My guest made a special point to remark about the cake, in fact they were squabbling over the extra pieces because we decided to get it in two flavors. Excellent communication, prompt call backs. very nice.

Everyone at our wedding raved about this cake. Awarding winning and well deserving of the title. I brought pictures in of cakes from wedding websites and they could have made any one of them! Top award winning masterpieces from Martha Stewart weddings were no problem. My fiancé wanted a very traditional white wedding cake, white buttercream frosting and Bavarian cream filling. We dressed it up by adding white chocolate seashells. It was the best cake anyone ever had at a wedding or anywhere else. They also make birthday & graduation cakes which is wonderful, as my family can't wait for another wedding to eat more of this moist, mouth-watering cake. Frosting & fillings from traditional to exotic there is nothing they can't do & I would not be surprised to see them on cake bosses someday or wedding tv

The wedding cake was amazing they designed it the way i wanted it exactly!! i had vanilla with bavarian creme in the middle and it was amazing!! best cake ive ever had, we also had a birthday a week before the wedding and got the cake there and it was so moist and delicious!!

The cake was delicious and so moist. All the guests complimented on how wonderful it was. I requested a bamboo cake and they were able to match the bamboo icing perfectly with the bridesmaid dresses. Highly recommend them.

Delicious and gorgeous!! My wedding cake was amazing in every way. I also ordered the groom's cake from this vendor. If you are looking for a Gator cake, this is the place!!!

I have always loved cakes from cakes by Carolynn. They were communicative, courteous, and helpful when helping us decide what we wanted for our wedding cake. I would recommend them to anyone in the Tampa Bay Area!

First and foremost, the taste of the cake was to die for! moist, and full of great flavor!Second, it LOOKED incredible!!! I absolutely loved it. They took the time to ask questions to make sure that they had a very clear vision of what I wanted my cake to be, and they nailed it!Beyond that, the customer service was a level above any of the other bakeries that we had talked to and met with. They were not stuffy, but very down to earth, casual, and VERY easy to work with. Will definitely use them for other special occasions in the future!

The cakes we tried were delicious, it was really hard to choose the right one. The cake was beautiful and simple.

Cakes by Carolynn was awesome. We chose red velvet with cream cheese. My husband is in love with red velvet and it was the best he ever tasted. Bonnie was awesome and so sweet and helpful. I was very impressed with their creation!

The cake that Cakes by Carolynn made for our wedding was gorgeous! It was exactly what we were hoping for. It looked great and tasted delicious. Their famous Amaretto Raspberry Swirl cake was AMAZING and all our guests raved about it. I gave them a picture of the design we wanted and they made it perfectly! We couldn’t have asked for more.

These guys make the most amazing cakes!!!! We had a two-tier cake with each tier being one layer butter and one layer chocolate. I am a die hard chocolate cake fan, but the butter cake that they make just melts in your mouth. We had Bavarian chocolate frosting & filling and had 12 orchids on top instead of a topper. We had a catering contract with Amici's and their cake was included with the price. We did ask for a couple of upgrades that we had to pay for, but it was totally fair. The cake was beautiful, the taste was to die for, and I can say nothing but good! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!

We LOVED them.. they were amazing and the cake was to die for. we barely had any left overs.. I will use them again for functions.. :)

The cake turned out perfect...just as I planned. We had the orange cake with pineapple filling. Everyone loved it.

DELICIOUS! We got their Amaretto flavored cake with Raspberry filling and butter creme icing. the cake was so yummy. The put some brown sugar around the bottom to look like sand (since we got married on St Pete Beach) and made some delicious white chocolate shells for a little added decor. While their book showed all these extravagant designs, I tend to like simple clean lines. They didn't try to up sell me or nickle & dime me. They gave me what I wanted and made it taste & look so very elegant.Thank you!!!!

Our wedding cake was FABULOUS!!! It was so yummy and everyone loved it!! It also looked stunning and I can't say enough great things about Cakes by Carolynn.

Cakes by Carolynn were very accomodating, especially considering I changed my cake about 3 times..but I had a vision and when I finally flew to florida to meet with them, we finally nailed down my vision and I got my dream cake, which was not only beautiful but absolutely delicious! There raspberry amarretto swirl cake is hands down the most delicious cake my husband or myself have ever eaten. I hear brides almost never eat there own wedding cake but I had 3 pieces!!! Thanks so much!

Usually, I don't enjoy the cake served at weddings (no offense to Publix). BUT, the cake from Cakes by Carolynn is AMAZING!!!! They made the cake for my wedding, and the cake for the rehearsal dinner. Both were beautiful and delicious. All I had to do was send a picture of how I wanted the cake to look, and they reproduced it perfectly! The cake is moist and the fillings are even better. Best place to get your cake in the Tampa/St.Pete area. :)

Cakes by Carolynn made an absolutely perfect cake for my daughters wedding on June 26, 2010. Not only was it beautiful, but delicious! The colors chosen for the icing were a perfect match for the orchids that decorated the table. Thank You!

Our cake was awsome!!!. Would definitely recommend them to anyone.

They were very friendly and worked with our florist to add flowers on top of the cake. They had the cake to the wedding at a great time and looked great and tasted unbelievable. We had the traditional white cake along with the amaretto raspberry swirl. Thank you for making such an astounding tasty cake.

Our cake was amazing!! EVERYONE from the wedding complimented the cake so much. I have to admit I was a little nervous at first because the samples we tasted at the cake tasting weren't really all that great.. they were a little dry and not so impressive. But we gave it a shot anyway. And thank god! They were very detailed in taking our order to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. And even though I told them what I wanted it was still a beautiful surprise to see the cake. I can't wait for next year so we can eat the top tier!! And if we have any occasions come up that require a special cake I will definitely drive the 45 minutes to order from them! THANKS!!

I am so happy I chose this vendor, my cake was beautiful and delicious. I gave them a picture of a cake I saw online and they duplicated it perfectly! Everyone enjoyed it, we had many compliments on the cake choice. We didnt have to choose one flavor, each layer had a different flavor.... it was so worth the $475. To top it all off, the staff was very professional!

Cakes by Carolynn did an amazing job on our Wedding Cake and our Groom's Cake!! The Groom's Cake was delivered by them at our Rehearsal dinner and it was just amazing!! It was buttercream frosting with chocolate cake in the shape of a fish with details that exceeded my expectations! My Husband loves fishing so much, he was truly touched!! Everyone just loved it!! The Wedding Cake was in a class all of it's own. We have never tasted cake this good ever! We had a 3 tier wedding cake with the top and bottom layer being their infamous "Amaretto Raspberry Swirl Cake" and the center being Chocolate Amaretto Swirl. The frosting was Buttercream Almond and they designed it so beautifully for us and exactly how we wanted! Our guest kept going back for seconds and thirds..lol. Thank God we have the top tier all to ourselves that we will be digging into at our 1 year anniversary!! We can barely wait! Thank you Cakes by Carolynn for being such a class act and so wonderful to work with during this amazing time in our life!! We look forward to having more of your wonderful cake for many years to come!!

Our wedding cake was delicious! All of the guests loved it! We live in Maryland and chose to have our wedding in Florida. Cakes by Carolyn came by recommendation from our wedding coordinator, Kristi at the Grand Plaza. We are so glad that we went with her suggestion! I sent a picture of the cake design we wanted and mailed my payment along with a tracing of the bottom of our cake topper. It turned out perfectly!

Cakes by Carolyn did a wonderful job. The cake was exactly how I wanted it. It was absolutely gorgeous and was delicious! With everything from the tasting to the wedding cake they were very professional! I would definately recommed this vendor!

Awesome cake, Very professional, resonably priced

Very delicious chocolate chip sea shell wedding cake.

We ordered our wedding cake and groom's cake from Cakes by Carolynn. Everyone loved them! My husband loves chocolate and he is still raving about how much he liked the groom's cake. We will definitely order cakes from them again.

Cakes by Carolyn made our cake as part of our venue's package. Our venue (The Grand Plaza in St. Pete Beach) recommended them. The cake turned out to be absolutely stunning in a beach wedding motif with real seashells. We chose their signature amaretto raspberry swirl after tasting dozens of combinations at their store. It was absolutely delicious...to the point that we ate the top tier for the next two weeks as we didn't want to freeze it for a year and risk it going bad! The women working there were all super nice and very helpful. I highly recommend them.

When our previous baker failed us, Cakes by Carolynn pulled through just months before our wedding. The staff is great to work with and the cake is delicious! Our wedding cake looked just how I wanted it to and everyone raved about how yummy it was!

They did a great job. The cake looked and tasted delicious. I loved how the buttercream frosting had the perfect amount of sweetness. They cake was so moist and wonderful.

They did a special order cake exactly how I wanted it. Staff was friendly and helpful during our in-person cake consult. I live out of state, and they called me to update me on the cake and make sure I didn't want any last-minute changes. The cake came out beautifully, and was DELICIOUS! By far the best tasking cake I've ever eaten. I would recommend them to anyone.

CBC did the most amazing job ever on my cake! I will send you guys some pics when I get the cd! Thank you so much for making the most beautiful wedding cake in the world!

They made my cake look like a sand castle! It was perfect and soooo delicious! They had a great attitude and were awesome at the tasting. The cake was a hit and we couldn't stop eating it the next day! Lots of variety and flavors.

Great cake for a great cost, and the service and responsiveness of the staff were great. The wedding cake turned out exactly as we wanted in the picture that we gave them and our cake topper was delivered and placed on the cake perfectly. Our favorite flavor was their signature amaretto raspberry swirl with raspberry filling, yummy! And they even bozed our anniversary cake separately to help us out.

Everyone is still raving about how beautiful the cake was, how wonderful it tasted.... the price was so affordable we went up to the next size! We can't wait until our 1st year anniversary!

Best wedding cake ever!

Both gorgeous and delicious, Cakes by Carolynn delivers! I didn't think anything could top the cake my sister had at her wedding, but this "takes the cake," for lack of a better phrase. We thought that because our cake was included in our venue pricing that it would be lacking charm, but it was just the opposite.

This wedding cake was sooooo good. We still use them for birthday cakes as often as possible.

Before the wedding I was kept up to date on what they needed and they confirmed what I wanted the week before the wedding. They were always accessible to answer any questions or concerns I had. The cake arrived on time and was in perfect condition. My guests loved it. I can't wait to eat the top on my 1 year anniversary!

I highly recommend Cakes by Carolynn! I had a two-tiered wedding cake with white butter-cream frosting. The top tier was red velvet, and the bottom tier was her famous raspberry swirl with amaretto raspberry filling. I also had a separate chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Both cakes were beautiful and tasted delicious! The chocolate frosting was thick and rich like fudge and tasted divinely! All my guests gushed over how delicious the cakes were. Cakes by Carolynn also coordinated with my florist so that my florist could place the flowers on the cake before the reception. There was writing on the chocolate cake, and it was done beautifully and just as I had requested. We didn’t finish the cake until a few days later, and the cake tasted just as wonderfully then as it did the first day. Go with Cakes by Carolynn and all your guests, whether they have a sweet tooth or not, will be raving about the dessert!

We got our cake for free since it came with our wedding package at the Grand Plaza Hotel. They did a last minute tasting with us which was really great. She let us taste what they had on hand. The cake was beautiful and delicious. Seemed a bit small but we had a small group so we didn't mind. I would maybe have put it on a riser or something to make it stand off the table a bit more... They were very easy to work with and really nice ladies. I would definitely recommend them!

Cakes by Carolynn provided a beautiful and delicious wedding cake for our wedding! It was exactly like the picture I submitted and the colors matched my swatches exactly!! All of our guests complimented us on how wonderful the cake was! We highly recommend Cakes by Carolynn.

The cake was very yummy. We had them add chocolate shells which looked great.

I highly recommended Cakes by Carolyn. Their prices are reasonable and their cakes are delicious!! They make a lovely cake that is moist and delicious. Everyone that tasted it loved it. We went with their signature flavor of amaretto. We also had a layer of chocolate. Apparently, that was good too because I never got a taste of it. It was gone!

Cakes by Carolyn provided the dream wedding cake and wedding cake service for my wedding. The cake designer was very open to the original idea I had for the design. Everyone who I spoke with there was very sweet and attentive. They really cared about what I envisioned for my wedding cake and did everything in their power to provide excellent service. I would highly recommend them. Not to mention their cake is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!

Everyone at Cakes by Carolynn was very helpful and nice. The cake turned out beautiful (even with my vague design ideas!) and was moist and delicious (we got chocolate amaretto cake with raspberry swirls and raspberry-bavarian cream filling, with buttercream icing).We did hear from some guests that the cake was too sweet for their tastes.

Yum, our cupcakes were delicious. Specialized flavors and details to our special requests were carried out and gorgeous! We have decided to order our 1st Anniversary cake from them already.

We ordered the famous Amaretto cake with a light pineapple filling. Everyone raved of how good the cake was. We had some left over...good for my friend who wanted to take home the xtra. I tasted a little during the cake cutting with my new handsome husband...EXCELLENT!

Cake was good and moist. They did work with us on several changes. Their style and decorating is only ok to me.

Always a lovely cake, a pleasure to photograph with the Bride & Groom. Highly recommended by Tar & Kelly.
