Reviews for Cakes by Karol Key West
GUEST




As a non traditional bride, we opted to go with a full dessert spread in place of a wedding cake. Karol provided the most amazing treats for our guests from the expected Key Lime Pie flavors to Bacon Brownies (yes, that is right bacon brownies). We setup our desserts from the start of our reception with a cute sign that read "Life is Short...Eat Dessert First" and our guests followed that lead! not a crumb left, and it was a hit!! Thank you Karol!!

Oh-so-delicious! We ordered a tiered cupcake display and small 6" cake top the week of our wedding. They went above and beyond to accommodate our order on a busy 11-11-11 wedding weekend. Everything was delivered on time and totally tasty! The only issue we had was completing the paperwork over email...the forms were impossible to print with all the necessary information on the same page--a very small complaint for such an overall pleasurable experience. Would definitely recommend!

Awesome!! I am an amateur baker at home. I really wanted to make my own cake. Since we had a destination wedding, that was out of the question. I know we have old had the typical, dry wedding cake. You take one bite and never finish. This cake was nothing like that!! Delicious!!! The best cake I have ever tried! We were to far from home to be able to keep our top tier. I'm not sure it would have stayed in our freezer until our 1 year anniversary. The design was exactly what we described. They were very easy to work with. I would highly recommend to anyone loooking for a fabulous cake.

Cakes by Karol made our cake and cupcake tower for our wedding. The flavors were heavenly! We had a carrot cake with a tower of cupcakes in vanilla with raspberry filling, key lime with key lime filling, chocolate with peanut butter filling and red velvet with cream filling. Everyone loved the cupcakes, my husband and I ate on the carrot cake for a week while we were still in the Keys and it was moist and delicious every day that we stuck our plastic forks into it. I'd hire Cakes by Karol in a minute and highly recommend their services. Karol was wonderful to work with and super responsive. You won't be disappointed with their delicious cakes and cupcakes!

Our Cake was just a small one but was just as beautiful as a large one...very yummy too.
GUEST




From the very beginning Karol was amazing to work with. We live here in Key West, so rather than go into her shop for a tasting, she made us serveral mini cupcakes in different flavors and then gave us all of her fillings. It was great. The cake was one that I found from a magazine so she had never done it befrore. It came out looking exactly like the picture. We chose her Rum Cake with Pineapple filling and everyone raved about how great it tasted! The entire time we were planning, Karol was very quick to respond to emails and so flexible with our requests. Thank you so much for helping make our day perfect!
GUEST




Our butterfly design came out gorgeous. And everyone really enjoyed the layers of Margarita cake with Key Lime filling and Chocolate cake with Chocolate buttercream filling, all topped with Ivory buttercream frosting. Beautiful and delicious!
GUEST




The cake was absolutely perfect!It was the talk of the wedding and we cannot thank you enough!!! It was literally perfect duplicate of the picture on your website and that says a lot about you and your business! Its hard to find people that take so much pride in their work and you are certainly amongst the best. By the way, it actually tasted as good as it looked!!!! Thanks again Karol and we are beyond happy that you could make our special day even more memorable!!I STRONGLY recomend Cakes by Karol if your getting married anywhere in the Keys! Our wedding was in Islamorada and the delivered all the way from Key West.A++ in my book!
GUEST




Cakes by Carol was FANTASTIC. For my wedding I had two cakes made: Wedding and Groom cake. They were very flexible and when I wasn't sure about something I could call and speak to them. All I did was send them pictures and asked them to recreate it. They were able to do that without a problem at a great price. They were even able to make a 3D construction crane cake - my husband loves them. It was an unusual request but they did a wonderful job. Everyone thought it looked great. The cakes not only looked great but they tasted good - very moist. The wedding cake was white chocolate with raspberry filling and the groom cake was coconut with pineapple filling. DELICIOUS.
GUEST




The cake was AMAZING. It looked and tasted great! My planner was involved in the details and had recomended Karol. She was easy to wok with. I didn't have to go into much detail she knew exactly what I wanted. AND it actually tasted great! She also did several mini-deserts for us and they were spectacular as well.

Overall a fantastic experience with Cakes by Karol. I submitted a photo of a designer cake that I found, and they were able to recreate the cake very well! It wasn't an exact replica, but it far exceeded my expectations & the abstract floral cake topper they made was better than the original photo. I would highly recommend Cakes by Karol - their follow up is amazing & they go over every detail with you. The final cost of my designer cake was a bit pricey due to all of the sugar pearls, but it was well worth it.
GUEST




I highly recommend Cakes by Karol. They made my wedding cake and it was beautiful. I received lots of compliments from the guests. It was a key lime flavored cake with raspberry filling and it was as delicious as it looked. They were always quick to answer emails and very accommodating to my requests. They made ordering a cake very easy!
GUEST




Thank you so very much for our beautiful and delicious cake. Everyone LOVED it. The flavor was great, it was so beautiful. Aside from the top tier which we saved, there was no cake left. Thank you so much. Your prompt response to emails made planning our destination wedding that much easier.
GUEST




Cakes by Karol came highly recommended to us by Eileen from Weddings to Go! My groom and I chose a Key Lime flavored cake with butter cream frosting. We picked from one of the many designs online and had it tailored to what we wanted. First of all we couldn't believe how beautiful the cake was. Secondly, it tasted absolutely amazing. It was so good, instead of feeding each other one bite we ate a whole piece while our guests waited. While the price was a little more than I originally had hoped to spend, it was worth every single penny!
GUEST




Karol, Nick and I would like to thank you so much for an amazing and beautiful wedding cake. Not only did it look as we expected it tasted even better. Your flavor choices are top notch. Planning a destination wedding is not easy, but you prompt emails and phone calls made the communication process a piece of "cake". Honestly if you are planning a wedding or any other even in Key West use nobody other than cakes By Karol!!! Thank you again for helping to make out day sooooo special, our guests can't say enough good things.
GUEST




I have never really been someone who likes cake, so to me it was just something that was traditional to stick the adorable cake topper on. That was until I had the samples from Cakes by Karol! Her cakes and all the fillings are AMAZING! Her decorating skills are also top notch. I had wanted a plain fondant cake with a ribbon tied around it because I had never seen a bow made of fondant that looked real. The fondant bow she put on my cake was so convincing, the catering staff tried to remove it when they were serving the cake. As far as the prices, it is not the cheapest place on the island but is the best quality. I sampled cake at two other bakeries on the island that where more expensive ANC not near as good. If you are picky about the taste and appearance of your cake, you can't top this place!
GUEST




We had a cupcake tower and top 6inch round for our wedding cake. It was amazing! Guests loved the red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and the chocolate with dulce de leche--we ordered more than our # of guests and not one was left over! For our top tier, we chose key lime with strawberry filling--we cut it at our wedding and then distributed it at our post-wedding brunch--everyone raved about it as well. Ana was most helpful in the selection of our flavors and was very quick to respond to my questions via email.
GUEST




Cakes by Karol did an amazing job on our wedding cake. I planned a destination wedding completely online and Cakes by Karol was recommended to me by the woman who was performing our ceremony. I wanted a design that was not shown on the Cakes by Karol website so I simply e-mailed a picture to Karol to give her an idea of what I was looking for. The cake turned out even more beautiful than I had imagined it would. This vendor is easy to work with and does an amazing job.
GUEST




“Cakes by Karol” is AMAZING! We ordered from Karol on recommendation from our wedding planner, and we are so happy with her services! We ordered a three-tier round Wedding Cake, and a two-tier square Grooms Cake for our wedding weekend in Key West. Our wedding cake comprised of one tier of margarita cake with key lime filling, and key lime cake with raspberry filling for our second tier (we haven’t cut into our third tier yet....but know it will be delish!!) and every bite was mouth-watering! All of our guests raved about how good our cake was, they went back for seconds and even took leftovers back to their hotels with them! I'd highly recommend working with Karol and Cakes by Karol if you are planning a wedding in Key West, you won’t be disappointed!
GUEST




Karol did a great job for our wedding cake! We picked features from a few different cakes that we saw pictures of and she put it all together for us perfectly! It was exactly what we wanted! And it was absolutely delicious!!!
GUEST




I found this business online when I was looking for wedding cakes. We were having a destination wedding and I liked some of the designs on her website. I contacted her via email and explained to her what I was looking for. We went very non traditional. (A small cake with cupcakes). We are big basketball fans and we asked if she could do the cupcakes with the icon of our favorite teams. She thought it was a great I dea. I sent her the icons that we wanted and the day of the wedding all of the cupcakes had them on it. It made the wedding very light and more unique. The cupcakes tasted great. The price was a little bit too much for the quality of the cupcakes and the amount of work that went into them but it was still unique for us and it made up for it! We would definately use her again.
GUEST




Karol was so great to work with and my cake was beautiful and delicious. Her flavors are great, we ordered a Key Lime cake with Raspberry filling and our guests loved it.
GUEST




Perfection! Even though this was planned over the phone and using their website for our cake. It was PERFECT! Not to mention, delicious. We ordered the Key Lime/Coconut combination. We received so many compliments on the cakes flavor and look. Thanks for making this so easy!
GUEST




I had a custom cake made for my husbands 40th birthday. I sent them how I wanted it to look and they did a great job! They provided great customer service and the cake looked and tasted great!
GUEST




Karol was great to work with. My husband is not big in to sweets, but Karol had some amazing flavors that he ended up loving. She is easy to work with and to get along with. My cake was amazing and came out just the way I wanted it to. I changed my mind many times as to what I wanted and Karol worked with each one until I got my mind made up 100%. She was amazing and I will use her again.
GUEST




Cakes by Karol is amazing! I called 10 days from my wedding to order my cake and I was so happy Karol could fit me in. I ordered a small single tier with cupcakes and it turned out beautifully. The Key Lime cake flavor was delicious and the buttercream frosting was sweet and satisfying. My whole family raved over it. The design was exactly what I wanted and I couldn't have asked for more.
GUEST




I used Cakes by Karol for my wedding cake. The cake was absolutely lovely. I ended up changing the design of my cake after meeting with Karol and it did not end up being a problem at all. The cake looked and tasted great.




The cake was great and exactly what we expected. All my interactions were through emails and she was quick at responding. Everyone loved the cake. We were extremely pleased with everything!
GUEST




Cakes by Karol made us a delicious 3-tiered cake. The tasting was a lot of fun too. The final product looked as great as it tasted
GUEST




Cakes by Karol are great. We had a 4 tier wedding cake, a grooms cake and key lime tarts. All were made exactly as I wanted and not only did they look amazing, they tasted amazing! Karol was a pleasure to work with and was accomodating to the many changes I had before the wedding. I highly recommend Cakes by Karol for any event!
GUEST




My husband and I are from Texas, so it was a bit difficult planning a wedding in Key West. However, the employees of Cakes by Karol were EXTREMELY HELPFUL. They were very attentive as we gave them ideas for the basic design that we wanted. We did not see ourwedding cake until our wedding day, but it was PERFECT and tasted delicious. We HIGHLY recommend Cakes by Karol.
GUEST




Cakes by Karol did an AMAZING job with our wedding cake! They got back to us via email very quickly and confirmed with us all that we ordered. When talking on the phone-they were very friendly too. We did a destination wedding in Key West and so I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a special cake for their special day! Did I mention that besides making a beautiful cake, it was DELICIOUS too???!!!
GUEST




Our cake was adorable. It had edible seahorse newlyweds on top and the edible seashells were intricately done and simply gorgeous. Karol always wrote me back immediately and was very friendly, professional and accommodating. It cost us $200 for a two tier cake which i thought was a bit pricey, but overall we were VERY happy with the end result! I highly recommend Cakes by Karol.
GUEST




Karol was absolutely amazing! She catered to every need we had, including the taste test we did which involved myself, my husband, and both of our mothers. She was very nice, professional, and gave us every opportunity to see and taste everything she had to offer. With that being said, we were able to choose the perfect combinations for our delicious wedding cake! It was absolutely gorgeous and it exceeded the beautiful image I had in my mind, which I thought was impossible to do! We tasted cakes at two locations, and this was, by far, the best place!!! Thanks again Cakes by Karol!
GUEST




Karol's cake was beautiful and delicious. My work hours made it a little difficult to reach her via phone, but she was always responsive to emails. And on the day of the wedding, she delivered the cake right on time! I would definitely recommend her to others!
GUEST




Karol was absolutely amazing! She was professional, responsive and her cake was over the top! I wish that I had a piece right now. You will definitely will not be disappointed with her service or her product. She is the jewel of KW.
GUEST




Karol you are the best!! Our cake was so beautiful and just how I imagined! We found Cakes by Karol online and on our vendor list from Ocean Key Resort, it was a destination wedding for us, and every guest raved over the cake. Thank you so much Karol:)Lauren & Brad
GUEST




Wonderful wedding cake and groom's cake provided by Karol. It was so beautiful and exactly what I pictured. She made sure I got the exact cake that I wanted. We loved them. Highly recommend Cakes by Karol!
GUEST




Cakes by Karol was WONDERFUL!! I brought in a design and Karol worked with it, and it turned out exactly how I envisioned! Not only was it beautiful, but it tasted amazing! Karol was by far my favorite vendor from our wedding. She was so kind and one of those people who was a joy to get to know. I would recommend the Cakes to anyone!!
GUEST




The cake and cupcakes were beautiful and delicious.




Cakes by Karol, Key West also did my tasting for this awhile back, the cake was delish. I actually couldn’t narrow it down to one flavor so I made each tier of the cake something different.
GUEST




Had a 3-layer off-white fondant cake with key lime filling and lime green ribbon around bottom of each layer. Came out exactly the way I wanted based off a picture I found online. Coordinated cake through Great Events Catering- tasted great and looked great! Would highly recommend the key lime filling and if having outdoor reception, might want to consider fondant instead of buttercream (it held together well in the heat and kept for a few days after with refrigeration).
