Reviews for Chantilly Cakes
GUEST




We hired Desiree with the advise of my planner. She is very friendly and tries her absolutely best to take your idea that you have in your head, and put it into cake form.We were so pleased with our groom's cake. My then fiance (now husband) was so ecstatic when he picked it up. She had created a racetrack scene and used my husband's car as a prop and she was able to manipulate the icing to make it look like the car was burning out - with a ton of smoke. He still can't stop talking about it!The wedding cake however - is another story. I am in no means displeased, but I feel like the goal wasn't full achieved. Our theme was fireworks and she did a great job with the execution of the fireworks - I just felt that, proportionally things were off. Like the fireworks should've been bigger or should've been more of them.It also looked like the cake might've started to buckle or something - there were a few bulges in the regular icing part of the cake. I've never had a wedding cake before so not sure what happened there.On another occasion - she dropped off a cheesecake to my mom's work, and my mom brought home leftovers. Her cheesecake is to die for!

Our cake was made to match our invitations and it came out perfect! Not only was it beautiful, but it was so delicious too. We had a lot of guests comment on how tasty it was. Can't wait to have the top tier on our anniversary!
GUEST




Super easy to work with. Very flexible and most of all my cake was beautiful and delicious! I love the pudding filling. Thank you so much!
GUEST




My cake was absolutely gorgeous! Chantilly was the perfect choice for us. Our consultation was quick and easy, they give you exactly what you want and they do not use fondant. It was delicious!
GUEST




I enjoyed the cake testing and choosing what we wanted. I chose a cake design from the knot and they designed it wonderfully! It looked amazing!
GUEST




I had a wedding package from the Rusty Pelican, and was given 3 cake vendors to choose from that would have the cake included in my package. I visited Chantilly Cakes first and was immediately greeted with a down to earth owner. When I shared my ideas with Desiree, what I loved is that with every detail I asked her, she would answer with "I can do that!" For any detail I wanted, it was all included in my package. With other vendors, everything was also added extra. Their base cakes included in the package all looked ugly. However, Desiree was able to offer me everything I wanted in a cake and make it all work within my package. On top of that, all of the flavors for the fillings were delicious. I particularly loved the mousse flavors. I was also able to customize by picking a different cake + filling for each layer. One thing I particularly loved about my cake was though it was butter cream, it looked exactly like a fondant cake. I wanted butter cream because it tastes better, but I love the smoothness of fondant. Desiree was able to create that exact smoothness of fondant with the deliciousness of butter cream.
GUEST




Gorgeous tasty cake! They even let me bring a couple more people the next time I visited for a tasting. I also changed my mind a few times and they were very helpful.
GUEST




WOW! We could not believe how amazing our wedding cake looked and tasted! It was the most perfect cake I have ever seen! I almost didn't even want to cut into it! It was exactly what we wanted. Desiree was so nice and personable. I'm so happy we chose Chantilly Cakes for our big day! Thank you Desiree and your team for all your hard work!
GUEST




Our catering company Amici's gave us the option to choose as part of our package deal what cake company we would like to use. Based on other recommendations from friends we selected Chantilly's. At our initial consultation we immediately felt comfortable. Overwhelmed with not knowing what design to use Desiree provided us with folders to generate ideas. She also answered questions about cakes as we had no idea on different terms and definitions used. She was able to provide suggestions on what cake fillings would work with each other and was also able to let us customize the cake layers with different fillings. What also surprised me is the fact that Chantilly's worked with our Florist to ensure the color of the cake matched. We originally were looking at a hot pink color for decorations and our Florist had to make a quick change to a light pink in the week prior. Chantilly's was able to accommodate for the last minute changes without any cause for concern. Best of all the cake looked spectacular and tasted delicious. Many guests commented on how beautiful it looked and requested the name of our cake vendor. Thank you Chantilly's.
GUEST




Our cake was included in our wedding package and Chantilly Cakes was one of two vendors we could use. Being that my husband and I are both of Italian descent, we had our heart set on a cannoli tower. Desiree at Chantilly thought it was a brilliant idea and gladly accepted the challenge of providing this for us. The night of the wedding, the tower received rave reviews from our guests and was quite the picture spot for the evening. Thanks Desiree... everything was delicious!
GUEST




The wedding cake is one of the most important parts of a wedding. My cake was beautiful. Desiree designed it beautifully and I was more than impressed. As a prior Catering Manager/Wedding Specialist I had a lot of ideas and high expectations. Working with Desiree she helped me focus and was flexible. She really captured all my ideas. I leaned to her expertise when it came down to making the final decisions. Thanks Desiree for far exceeding my expectations. The Grooms Cake and Wedding Cake were beautifully designed and taste great. I can't wait for another reason to order a cake. I highly recommend Chantilly Cakes for any and all your cake needs.
GUEST




Chantilly Cakes was recommended by my venue and after getting prices from a few other wedding cake bakers, we decided to confirm our decision with a tasting. The flavor of their cakes were absolutely amazing. I couldn't stop thinking about how delicious it was and how excited I was for my wedding cake. I simply provided a picture of exactly what I wanted, and when my wedding cake arrive the day of, it was more beautiful than I imagined it would be. We also used Chantilly Cakes for our groomscake. My wedding cake was probably the favorite thing of my wedding (besides marrying the man of my dreams) I would definitely recommend Chantilly Cakes and will use them for other special events.
GUEST




Desiree was a pleasure to work with and our cake was beautiful and delicious. She even made a groomscake in the shape of a football helmet with my fiance's favorite team, it was such a hit with our guests and looked perfect!
GUEST




The cake was both beautiful and delicious. We were looking forward to a little left over cake after the reception but there wasn't any. Our guests admitted to having multiple pieces because it was so good. Desiree created exactly what we wanted as far as the look of the cake. We brought a photo of a general idea, she added her input and came out with the most beautiful cake.
GUEST




Amazing! Chantilly Cakes was awesome from the get go. Desiree was pleasant to work with and made our cake amazingly tasty. Raspberry Swirl and Raspberry Mousse is a MUST! We enjoyed it on our Wedding Day and can't wait to eat some of it on our 1 year anniversary.
GUEST




Chantilly Cakes made one beautiful and delicious wedding cake. I am so happy to have worked with Desiree and her team.
GUEST




It was a very beautiful cake. We even posted pictures of it on Chantilly Cakes facebook page. We called Desiree and she set up an appointment time for a cake tasting. That was great!! She drew out exactly what we wanted and made suggestions that was a great help. We told her the colors of the flowers and she matched them to a tee. It was a vanilla cake with chocolate mousse. Everyone loved it!! The Rusty Pelican served it...we didn't have to do a thing. And we were very rushed in putting the wedding together as the groom was being deployed to Turkey. Thanks, Desiree!
GUEST




If you want a wedding cake that looks fabulous and tastes fabulous, then look no further, Chantilly Cakes is exactly what you need! Being out-of-town bride and groom, we were not in a position to have a proper taste test, so we pretty much went on the "hope for the best" attitude, we were blown away by what was presented to us on the day of our wedding! It was exactly what we have imagined, and the cake itself was absolutely delicious! Thank you!
GUEST




Excellent service, the cake was beautiful and was the best tasting wedding cake I ever had! Great Vendor!
GUEST




Desiree of Chantilly Cakes was awesome. Our cake turned out beautifully. She is very talented and doesnt use fondant!! So our cake tasted just as good as it looked. She also made me a grooms cake to surprise my groom. It was a fishing tackle box that turned out wonderful!
GUEST




Our wedding cake was absolutely beautiful and turned out just the way I hope it would! I brought in pictures to show what I wanted and that is exactly what I got. I just have to say that the bakery is a bit rough around the edges, although the people are quite friendly and willing to create the cake of your dreams while staying within budget. One other tiny detail is that some of the cake decorations fell off prior to the cutting of the cake, but that could have been due to the cake being situated directly in front of the DJ's speakers! :) Overall wonderful experience with Chantilly's!
GUEST




Can't wait to eat my anniversary cake a year from now!! I loved my cake, it was so pretty and simple along with delicious! They were so nice to work with and I had such a great time trying all the cakes! Yum!
GUEST




Cake was gorgeous exactly what we wanted.
GUEST




Our first meeting with Desiree was wonderful. She is passionate about her product. She gave us everything we asked for. We highly recommend her.
GUEST




I think the number of five star reviews already posted really tells all. Being an out-of-state bride, I relied on reviews, and recommendations from my hotel coordinator to pick my vendors, and they certainly came through on this one. The staff of Chantilly Cakes are truly experts in the field. They do hundreds of cakes every month, but give individual attention to detail. They will create anything you want them to, though my groom and I wanted a pretty basic cake, we knew we couldn't go wrong here. Desiree would not accept a down payment from me until I came in for the tasting, so that I could be sure I was happy. She looked at the pictures I brought, and discussed the design with me, then sketched it out for me to approve. She had us pick four cake flavors and four icing flavors to sample. The cake samples were a little dry, since they probably were not fresh, but we trusted that our cake would be better quality than that. She also suggested that I save a few dollars and get a sheet cake to get more servings out of the cake, without paying more for a larger tiered cake. I didn't know you could do this, so it was very nice of her to come out with this idea that benefitted us. We wound up having a lower guest count and not needing the sheet, but I really appreciated her suggestion. She contacted the hotel directly to coordinate the delivery, so I did not have to worry about the logistics at all. On the wedding day, the cake was perfect! It looked exactly how I wanted, and I got lots of compliments on it. Of course, it tasted great too! (The only complaint I had was that the ribbon on the bottom of each tier was crooked in the back where the ends met. It's a fussy detail that I'm sure most people did not notice, and won't be in pictures since it was the back- but I wondered if that could have been avoided by more careful placement)
GUEST




Our wedding cake from Chantilly Cakes was delicious and beautiful! It came out looking exactly the way we had hoped it would and everyone was impressed with how delicious it was! I loved the unique flavors that they use, and Desiree is a pleasure to work with!
GUEST




My wedding cake was part of my package with the Hyatt so I didn;t have the liberty of choosing my cake vendor. However, I'm glad Chantilly was chosen for me. Desiree was a pleasure to work with. I was unable to have a tasting since I had a destination wedding but I was not disappointed! The cake was delicious and looked beautiful! She took the pictures I provided her and did exactly what I wanted. I would recommend her to any bride.
GUEST




We were not the easiest couple when it came to picking out a wedding cake; we agreed on nothing (not even cake flavor). The owner of Chantilly Cakes somehow took what my groom and I debated on & made it work for us. Our cake was perfect. She did an exquisite job. Highly recommend.
GUEST




Our caterer included the cake in our contract, and they provided a list of bakeries that we could choose from. Because of this, I thought our cake choices would be limited, but I was completely wrong. We were given two or three binders worth of cake designs to choose from! The cake we chose was extremely simple. It was a tiered cake with ribbon along the bottom of each tier and sugar flowers cascading down the side. The sugar flowers were really beautiful, and Desiree worked to match the flowers we had on the centerpieces (which included orchids and orange lilies). Not only that, but the cake was delicious too! Desiree took care of everything for the delivery, and we didn’t worry about a thing.
GUEST




We were so excited after the cake tasting and thought we had found the perfect vendor for our wedding. But on the wedding day the cake decoration was not what we expected . The color was off, the filling was sparce and buttercream overwhelming. I was disappointed.
GUEST




I hired Chantilly Cakes through my caterer, Amici's Catering. My husband and I went to a cake tasting at their store and hired them without trying anyone else. The customer service from Desiree was perfect. She was able to give us everything we wanted and she was so pleasant to work with. I changed my order up a little bit close to the wedding date and she accommodated without any problems. My husband hates coconut but I love it and Desiree was able to make our top cake half and half. She went above and beyond to make us happy. On the day of our wedding, the cake was even more beautiful than I had anticipated! Chantilly Cakes was a pleasure to work with and Desiree made it easy and pain free. You won't be disappointed!Thank you, Chantilly Cakes & Desiree!
GUEST




My daughter contracted with Chantilly Cakes for her wedding. We had found the picture of the cake she wanted in a magazine and asked Desiree to duplicate the picture. When we went in to meet with her, she had a variety of cake flavors to sample and spent time to make sure she got what she wanted. When we walked into the reception and saw the cake for the first time, we were blown away. It was more beautiful than the picture... I would highly recommend Chantilly Cakes for any event. Thanks again for the most beautiful wedding cake I think I've ever seen...Our guests still can't stop talking about it.Donna Glisson
GUEST




Three weeks after my wedding and people are still raving about our cake. Not only did Desiree capture exactly the image I had of our cake, but it was the best tasting cake I have ever had. She offers a variety of flavors of cake and filling. Her buttercream and fondant icing is just simply delicious. We loved our cake so much that my husband and I have already devoured the top of our cake - we plan to place an order for Desiree to recreate it for our one year anniversary
GUEST




Chantilly Cakes provided the wedding cake for my daughter's wedding reception at East Lake Woodlands Country Club. The cake was absolutely beautiful!! It was even more stunning than we expected--they really listened to my daughter when she described the cake that she envisioned. They were responsive, professional & are very artistic. On top of that, it was DELICIOUS! We have gotten so many compliments on the cake--it could not have been more perfect. We so appreciate them--and would highly recommend them for others to use.
GUEST




Desiree was awesome :) I had had a bad experience with other bakeries and their poor communication, but she was very accomodating and willing to work within our tight timeframe. I loved that she even let us come for a tasting just two days before our wedding! We had a destination wedding and I didn't think it would be possible to have a tasting, so that really impressed me :) I sent her a picture of my dream cake, and she made it a reality. I think it looked even better than the original! AND my fiance had wanted a black forest cake, which wasn't even listed as an option...and they offered to make one as a sidecar groom's cake for just about $30 more. We got rave reviews on the look and the taste of the cake and even with extra cake....it was ALL eaten (bonus...we did not want any extras). One of the bridesmaids said she was super bummed that she only got one piece...pretty much everyone went back for seconds or thirds. OH, one more thing- since I wanted a super tall cake due to the ceiling height at the venue and I opted to pay extra for 2 fake layers, she did not charge us extra for upgrading the cake flavors...which she definitely did not have to do. I was very pleased with everything!
GUEST




Desiree was awesome. Our vision for the cake evolved very slowly. Desiree was so patient and helpful through the whole process. We added a detail here and another detail after a month ...We just weren't sure initially how we wanted to incorporate everything. We ended up having two tastings...poor Desiree was great. We finally came up with a sketch that I was so excited about and the cake exceeded my expectations on the day of the wedding. It was gorgeous, elegant, fun and unexpected. It incorporated flowers from our florist that was similiar to my bouquet. We used ribbon to border the bottom of each layer that matched the bridesmaids dresses perfectly. the really amazing part is that one of our groomsmen had made a monogram that incorporated our first initials into the shape of a heart. I showed it to Desiree not sure if she could get it on to the cake somehow and she did. It was like a perfect copy and even better our groomsmen had no idea that we had used his work and when he saw the cake I thought he was going to tear up on us..he was thrilled because it looked beautiful. The cake tasted amazing too...We had some cake left over (I probably over ordered as usual) and my husband and I were so hungray that night we sat in the hotel room in complete silence eating cake for about 10 minutes...It was so good. We also could not save our top layer. We ended up thawing it out after the honeymoon and ate it. We plan on having another made for our anniversary. It was awesome. I also hade a grooms cake made. I wanted it to look like the Chicago Bears mascot but I was worried it would come out looking cheesy...God know my husband is very particular about his team but that too came out looking amazing and of course tasting great. I am now on a mission to try all the different flavors and order caked from Chantilly for all my special occasions. I will always treasure this wedding cake and for an amazing price. I was shocked by how little it was for the quality and amount that I got. thanks Desiree!!!!
GUEST




Our cake was absolutely beautiful, and soo yummy! Everybody loved it!! Desiree was so helpful, and made our cake better than we could have even imagined!!!
GUEST




Chantilly cakes was recommended by Sandpearl Resort and I can see why. We ordered our cake from Wisconsin so I was unable to taste anything prior to our wedding night. I trusted Chantilly cakes to recommend flavors and pairings, which were all fantastic. I also sent a few pictures of what we were looking for and the cake looked exactly how I wanted and looked even more beautiful in person. The most important thing was that the cake not only looked fantastic but tasted amazing as well
GUEST




Our wedding package included the cake price if we went to a preselected bakery and we chose Chantilly. The cake decoration came out simpler than I had expected, but it tasted fantastic which was what mattered most to me.
GUEST




I am so grateful that someone recommended Chantilly Cakes to me because I ended up with the most perfect cake on my wedding day! The tasting was delicious and a lot of fun, plus Desiree was extremely helpful to work with our budget and to make sure it looked absolutely perfect. All of my guests said the cake tasted amazing and I enjoyed a bite too, but I can't wait to pull the top tier out of our freezer to eat some more!
GUEST




I am so happy I did not settle with the first cake place I went to because if I did I would not have found Chantilly. I was so happy when I called up Chantilly Cakes and the owner told me that they could still make my cake even though I only had less than 2 weeks till my wedding. She was so very helpful and my bridesmaid and I had such a great time going to the taste testing and designing my cake. My cake was so beautiful, it was exactly what I pictured in my mind AND it tasted absolutely AMAZING too!! I will recommend Chantilly to everyone I know and if I ever need a cake for an event in the future I will definitely be using Chantilly cakes.-Bride (married February 20, 2011)
GUEST




The cake was beautiful, exactly what I asked for and according to everyone who had a piece delicious. We unfortunately didn’t get any, but we’re making up for that by ordering the same type of cake for my birthday.
GUEST




Chantilly Cakes was fantastic! We received so many compliments on our wedding cake - many people telling us it was the best cake they had ever had!Chantilly Cakes has an agreement with Amici's, if you are using Amici's as your caterer, which makes the cost of the cake very affordable. We loved the ability to select different flavors and fillings for our three-tiered cake, and boy was it delicious! Desiree was so helpful and wonderful to work with - she is just lovely!Chantilly had also worked with our florist (The Bride's Bouquet in Palm Harbor, FL), so when it came time to decorate the cake, it was a seamless effort with both Chantilly and The Bride's Bouquet.Overall, the wedding cake and wedding day was perfect thanks to the help of Desiree and Chantilly Cakes!
GUEST




Awesome AND delicious. I almost went with another baker because they told me what I wanted couldn't be done, but they could come close if I bought some craft material that they would apply to the cake. I didn't want the cake to look like a craft project so I was very disappointed that my vision couldn't happen. I happened to mention my disappointment to a florist that I was interviewing and she suggested I call Desiree at Chantilly Cakes. I am so glad that I did. As soon as I showed her my sketch she started making notes on how she was going to do it. She even got excited about doing it. What I wanted wasn't impossible, it just required a little extra skill and time. I did pay a little extra for it, and I mean a little!! We already decided we're not going to save the top for the one year anniversary, we're eating it next time we have company, because it was so good we don't want to wait a year!! Thanks so much Desiree.
GUEST




Chantilly Cakes was one of the two bakeries partnered with our venue The Rusty Pelican, and their cake was included in our package, so we only had two choices in wedding cake vendors. When we went in for our tasting, my husband and I were immediately impressed with their cake! It was SO good we could hardly wait to order our cake from them! Chantilly Cakes only uses butter cream icing, which, in my opinion, tastes so much better than fondant. Even though they do not use fondant, their cakes are so beautiful, and they taste awesome too! All of our guests enjoyed the cake, and some guests even went up for a second piece! We got almond flavored cake with chocolate mousse filling and raspberry mousse filling. Our wedding was held on Halloween, and Chantilly Cakes made us an awesome Halloween themed cake complete with graveyard scene, spooky ghosts, fall leaves, and pumpkin top! My groom also had a grooms cake that looked like the Mario one up mushroom. If you can dream it, they will make it. I highly recommend them!

GUEST




The cake that they made us was delicious and exactly what we wanted. The cake was beautiful! They made the groom cake for me from a picture, and kept it a secret... the Grooms cake would be my only negative... the propotion of the deer was not correct and half way threw the night the horns and ears started to fall
GUEST




Chantilly cakes did an awesome job on our wedding cake. They also worked with me to plan a surprise groom's cake for my husband, which turned out great! They had some unique flavors that were delicious. We will be going back to get anniversary cakes in the future!
GUEST




Chantilly was the easiest vendor for me to review- there was no thought that they wouldn't get 5/5. We had some cake vendor issues- we had chosen a vendor which our location told us would be included in our package, but they dropped the vendor and we didn't find out until a few days before the wedding while we were at a final review for the location. We live in Tampa and were only in Clearwater for that day, and needed to be fit in with Chantilly within an hour. They called and got us in immediately. They designed and baked and delivered a cake with 5 days notice....and didn't whine or blink an eye! Desiree worked with us to design a beautiful cake that tasted amazing. Brides don't really need to look anywhere else- just go straight to Chantilly and move on with your wedding planning.
GUEST




Chantilly Cakes did both our wedding cake and groom's cake. Both came out amazing! Their attention to detail is awesome and the flavors are FANTASTIC! I can't wait until our anniversary to eat the other layer! HIGHLY RECOMMEND and will use again for any future cake needs!
GUEST




Delicious, delicious, delicious!!! Awesome to work with, so helpful, creative and flexible! They make the most fabulous cakes I have ever tasted! They are great to work with!
GUEST




I was so impressed with my cake. Desiree did a fantastic job and the cake tasted amazing! She listened to what I wanted but also was creative and made my cake very special. It was like no other cake I had ever seen. She was professional and stayed within my budget. I can't wait to eat my top layer of cake next year! Thank you Desiree!
GUEST




Great cake. Wished the ribbon color had matched a little better. Someone fumbled the flowers that were placed atop the cake. I suspect it was the florist though. I would use Chantilly again in the future.
GUEST




There are no words to describe my wedding cake from Chantilly Cakes! I worked with Desiree to do a taste testing that was absolutely amazing! The best cake I have ever eaten and I have tried some cake in my day! Working with Desiree at Chantilly Cakes was as easy as it could be...we went in for the taste testing, chose our flavors and showed Desiree a picture of what I was thinking. To my surprise, she was able to work with my small budget and really helped me get what I wanted without having to break the bank. My cake was the most beautiful cake I have ever seen...it matched the picture identically which I have never seen of before. All of my friends and family were blown away with my wedding cake! Then they tasted the cake...the ooh and ahhhs never stopped all night! I had guests coming up to me telling me that the cake was the best they had ever had. It's been 2 weeks since my wedding and I still carry a picture of the wedding cake with me and smile! The cake was perfect and I could not have asked for anything more, except for some more cake. All of those needing a wedding cake in Florida, use CHANTILLY CAKES...you won't be disappointed, I promise! Thank you so much Desiree!!!!!!!
GUEST




Desiree at Chantilly Cakes was fantastic!!! When Shane and I first came in, it's like she was reading our minds. I gave her the ideas that were in my head and she ran with them! The cake on my wedding day could not have been prettier! From the tiers, shape, ribbon, design (cherry blossoms)... I'm speechless. The topper that I picked out for the cake fit beautifully and she just let me drop it off a week ahead and she took care of it for me, she is so sweet! She was sooo helpful and knowledgeable over the phone, by email, and in person. I also had a groom's cake of a koi fish done for my now husband for the rehearsal dinner cruise and he loved it!! Everyone loved the cake design and taste!! And as a side note (in applause for Desiree and Chantilly Cakes), when the hotel/venue packed up our top tier and packed it with our gifts for 2 days with out us knowing instead of refrigerating or freezing it, we got home and we were not happy with eating that cake a year from now since it had been sitting out. The venue offered to pay for a new top tier and said they would contact Desiree at Chantilly Cakes and the venue did not. I called Desiree 4 days after our wedding and asked if they had contacted her yet, she said no, but she did not miss a beat and immediately offered us a new top tier that we could either pick up now to freeze or to pick up a year from now to actually eat fresh for our year anniversary! Desiree went above and beyond to please us, truly a great business woman!!!! We would suggest her to anyone and everyone!! We will never forget how hard she worked to make our wedding day beautiful!!With Love, Amber Logan-Carlson
GUEST




Desiree from Chantilly cakes was great. She did exactly what I wanted for our cake and it was beautiful. She also was able to make the cake with buttercream icing instead of fondit, but it still looked just as good on the outside. She did a wonderful job, and I highly recommend her!
GUEST




Chantilly Cakes is AWESOME! My wedding cake was included in the cost of my reception venue package so there were a few vendors I could choose from. We met with another vendor at first and almost signed a contract (although I truly didn't like their attitude) but I am so glad I went with my florist's advice and tried Chantilly. Desiree was way more accomodating than the other place in helping us come up with the design and MUCH more friendly as well. We just brought in a picture of a cake we liked and Desiree knew exactly how to make it happen yet still make it our own. I was so stunned walking into my reception and seeing the cake because it was absolutely PERFECT! and delicious! Thanks Chantilly :)
GUEST




I would highly, recommend, Chantilly Cakes! I ordered my wedding cake through Desiree at Chantilly Cakes and had a wonderful experience. Desiree is extremely helpful and patient. She is amazing at what she does. The cake was absolutely delicious, I received so many compliments! Thanks Chantilly Cakes! – Stephanie M
GUEST




Our wedding venue included the cake as part of the package and had several preferred vendors to work with. After looking online at them all we thought Chantilly's quality of work best met our desires. We couldn't have been more right! We just wanted a simple cake, hydrangea green, with a wrapped vine and leaves to decorate with fresh flowers. They nailed it visually not to mention taste. We went with their almond cake flavors and a rasberry mouse filling with mini chocolate chips. It was delicious! Normally at most weddings you see full cake plates all over the tables and ours were practically licked clean! Everyone can't stop talking about how good it was, and absolutely fresh! If Chantilly were a regular walk in bakery my waist line would certainly be in trouble! Thank you for a wonderful addition to our day.
GUEST




I cannot say one bad thing about Chantilly Cakes. I told them what I wanted and they made it look more amazing and more awesome than I could have ever imagined. I actually had been to two different bakeries in the area and was not impressed until I went to Chantilly Cakes. But I have been to a few weddings in my day and all I have to say is this is the first wedding cake I have ever tasted that was actually good, even better, it was delicious! I would highly recommend Chantilly Cakes to anyone looking for a great wedding cake! Thanks again! :)
GUEST




I first called Chantilly cakes to see if they would be able to create a cake with butter-creme frosting that had the look of fondant. She was glad to help. I went for the tasting and she offered a wide range of cake flavors as well as creme fillings. Her cakes were wonderful! We ended up picking a cake that wasn't even a choice we were considering, but after tasting her samples we were pleasantly surprised. Our cake was delivered flawless. The concerns I had about the design with our original baker, were clearly not a problem for these guys. Their experience and knowledge were greatly appreciated. The cake tasted amazing, we had guests asking for seconds. There wasn't one piece wasted. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone. I know we will be using them again for any cake needs we have.
GUEST




Desiree met and exceeded our expectations for our cake. This was a destination wedding and even our first visit with her won us over BIG TIME compared to another baker we had just visited. My husband really wanted a colorful, topsy turvy (madhatter) cake after seeing her work on such types of cakes. I preferred a white cake since it was for our wedding. To satisfy his craving for differents shapes and patterns, we asked Desiree to do a different pattern and shape for each tier, but keep the color simple. The first tier was square, second was round, and top was square again, and each tier & design alternated between white and metallic/pearlescent white. It flowed sooo nicely. We found our design ideas thorughout various cake pics on the internet so I saved those pictures and took my laptop to Des to show her my ideas - I think it really helped us to explain our idea by picture rather than worrying on if we were describing it enough, and I'm sure that helped her too. Plus it made our visits with her very quick and easy. We have saran wrapped & foiled our anniversary tier so many times prior to freezing, and look forward to enjoying it on our anniversary. OH and the taste - amazing. We love that she does not exclusively use fondant (she only uses it for decoration pieces if needed), as she is able to finish the buttercream in a way that appears to be fondant - but tastes scrumptious as it is buttercream. She now has a facebook page, too, so be sure to check her out - you can definitely find my cake on her photos there.
GUEST




I really had no idea what I wanted my cake to look like!! I just knew I want it to taste unbelievable!! I had a cake topper and a flavor picked out and Chantilly's did the rest!! It turned out even better than I could have imagined!! People still call me a month after the wedding to ask where I got my cake. It tasted amazing and looked adorable!!! Can't wait until my one year anniversary to pull it out of the freezer to eat!! I am counting the days!!!!

The wedding cake was pretty and from what I heard... very good. The groom's cake was perfect. Thank you for doing your best to make us a babolat tennis racket! And it was a great cheesecake too! We look forward to our 1 yr anniversary and trying our cheesecake that we saved! Thank you very much for suggesting that the top cake could be a cheesecake. I appreciate that since I had mentioned that I did not like regular cake very much. It all turned out wonderful and thanking you for being a part of our special day.
GUEST




I used Chantilly Cakes for my cake vendor (through the Rusty Pelican package). Desiree was my contact person and she was very wonderful to work with!! I was able to design my own cake and she helped me get it into our budget range. It came out beautiful and tasted amazing!! All of my guests couldn't stop talking about how yummy it was!! People even went for seconds :) Thank you!!
GUEST




To say I am a cake lover is a complete understatement so there was no question that our wedding cake would be VERY important to me, and Chantilly did an amazing job! From the first time we worked with them at our tasting I knew it was going to be a positive experience. The process was so easy and carefree. We even had a few changes we wanted to make a few weeks before the wedding and they were extremely accommodating and never gave us any trouble about it. Chantilly Cakes was excellent and I can't wait to eat our anniversary tier!
GUEST




Our wedding cake was awesome!! I had also purchased a grooms cake for my husband and that was wonderful as well. I highly recommend Chantilly Cakes!
GUEST




My wedding cake by Desiree at Chantilly Cakes was my favorite part of my whole wedding. Right when I got engaged I fell in love with a picture of a tiffany blue 3 tier round cake and pretty much designed my whole wedding around its design. When I brought Desiree the picture she said she would do something very similar due to the fact that my picture was fondant and she only uses ingredients which taste good. Well let me tell you, when I saw the cake for the first time on my wedding day I was absolutely elated. It was completely identical to the one in my picture. The most gorgeous cake every. And then we ate it. I have never tasted softer more delicious cake in my life. I chose one layer chocolate and one layer vanilla with buttercream. It was so perfect. I have the top in my freezer and I cant wait for my anniversary!!Check out my pictures to see how amazing it came out.
GUEST




Chantilly cakes did a great job on my cake. I was a destination bride, but Desiree at Chantilly did a great job throgh email and over the phone. We spoke very minimally, but Desiree still translated my ideas into the dream cake i wanted on my wedding day. I loved my cake. And the best part- THE TASTE! The cake tasted SOOO good! We got red velvet with cream cheese frosting. We were so sad that being a destination couple we couldnt take our cake on our honeymoon or home. We may contact Chantilly in the future to make us a mock top tier or our wedding cake for our anniversary.
GUEST




I am from Glasgow in Scotland and got married in the Hilton Cleartwater Beach. Desiree at Chantilly cakes provided our cake. It was absolutely stunning looking and gorgeous tasting.We couldnt have a tasting as we only arrived the day before the wedding but this was no problem - we done everything through email and the cake was exactly how I wanted it.Thanks Chantilly Cakes.Lorraine and Robert (Glasgow)
GUEST




Our cake was absolutely amazing and beautiful. We were able to chose a different combination for each tier which our guests loved. I would recommend Chantilly Cakes to anyone looking for a cake that will wow your guests from the design to the flavor!
GUEST




They made us the perfect beach themed cake for our wedding. Desiree was awesome and seemed to genuinely care about our ideas. It tasted as good as it looked!
GUEST




The cake was beautiful! She created a design based off a photo we e-mailed her and it turned out wonderful. I only wish I had the chance to taste it (the coordinator served the smaller more expensive layer of the cake while we were at a photoshoot and we didn't get a single slice of the middle layer that Chantilly added in just for us). Chantilly Cakes was great to work with though.
GUEST




Great cake, it was even more beautiful then I had expected it to be! Everyone loved it and it tasted even more amazing then it looked. Almost all of the cake was gone before the night was over. All of my guests raved about the taste and look of the cake. AMAZING
GUEST




We were so pleased with the cupcake display we ordered for our wedding reception. Chantilly cakes even matched a small 6" cake for us to cut to our wedding invitation with our personalized monogram! Everyone was raving at the 5 delicious flavors we ordered and our guests couldnt get enough! It was a great alternative to the traditional wedding cake and was a huge hit with our guests. Thank you Chantilly Cakes!!
GUEST




So me and one of my bridesmaids went to check out the reception room and how it was set up before everyone got in... I was kindof walking around and checking everything out until I saw the cake. It was way across the room. So Me and Liz RAN to the cake. It was the coolest thing ever! The groom and I walked into chantilly cakes with a picture that my now hubby drew. She took that picture and made it real life. We had a pirate themed wedding. the cake was red with black belts running down the cake with silver belt buckles and skulls and crossbones on them... she made the butter cream icing look like fondont (i can't spell, but it's ok) which is a much better tasting option then fondont. i couldn't believe my eyes.. I was a perfect something in my craziness of things gone wrong that day. And to top it all off... the cake topper was hand drawin by my now hubby. she was able to put it on fondont and make the most awesome cake topper ever. AND the icing on the cake (pun intended)... THE CAKE TASTED AMAZZZZZZZING! I couldn't have imaged going anywhere else!
GUEST




The cake was EXACTLY what we wanted. She matched our flowers in the bridal and bridesmaids bouquets PERFECTLY! And the cake tasted amazing too. Highly recommend Chantilly Cakes to anyone.
GUEST




The cake was beautiful and delicious. Desiree made sure we got exactly what we asked for. We never had to worry about anything. She also made a grooms cake and custom decorated it with special logos that we sent her. It was a cheesecake and it was like nothing we had ever tasted before. Absolutely amazing!
GUEST




Our cake was beautiful. I had quite a few people say it was the most cake they'd ever had. I changed the design of the cake pretty lsdt minute and also added on a groomsmen cake and they gave me no problems and did an awesome job!
GUEST




I cannot explain how absolutely AMAZING Desiree at Chantilly Cakes is!! From the day of our first meeting (tasting her wonderful cake) our experience with Desiree was such a pleasure. Her cake is delicious and she has a great talent for decorating. We had the most beautiful cake! Desiree also made a birthday cake for me this year which turned out fabulously. There is no other wedding cake company in the Tampa Bay Area that matches Chantilly - you MUST use them.
GUEST




Our cake was absolutely amazing! I wish I could post a photo on here so you could see what it looked like. It was actually breathtaking when I first saw it at the reception! It looked just how I imagined - actually probably better than I imagined! Plus it was delicious, exactly how it had tasted at the tasting :-) Desiree was a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend Chantilly Cakes to anyone looking for a cake for a special occasion.

Desiree took our dream cake and made it into a reality. We had such a vague idea with a few specific touches that we wanted and she really did create the most beautiful cake. It was also SOOOOO delicious and everyone is still talking about it!
GUEST




Our cake was beautiful, delicious, and looked exactly like the sketch that Desiree drew up for us. Thank you!!




Desiree' was fantastic! The cake looked amazing- way better than we were even hoping or expecting! We have received tons of compliments! She was very nice and provided great service, she made sure our cake topper would fit/look right on our cake and allowed us to modify our cake design days before the wedding. Everyone has been telling us that our cake was the tastiest wedding cake they've had. Rasberry almond swirl with rasberry mousse and buttercream frosting- YUM- we keep thinking about eating our top layer rather than freezing it haha!
GUEST




Desiree' is GREAT! Our cake was stunning and delicious! She was very accomodating when we decided to change our design about a week before our wedding. We really enjoyed the almond raspberry swirl cake with raspberry mousse filling.
GUEST




Our wedding cake looked amazing and was absolutely scrumptious. Desiree took our vision of a beach/water wedding cake and ran away with it. The adirondack chairs made a great cake topper that was simple but went with our theme perfectly! Our guests could not stop raving about it. Will definitely be getting more cakes from her in the future.
GUEST




Chantilly Cakes made my wedding cake exactly like teh picture, and it was delicious! Everyone raved about the cake, and even the top layer was delicious after being frozen!!!
GUEST




They made my wedding cake from a picture I gave them and they did a wonderful job!! Cake came out just like the picture and was so good!!
GUEST




I loved our cake from Chantilly. She paid special attention to detail and because we were doing multi color, the match to our green was almost perfect! The cake was absolutely beautiful and a week before I asked if we could add dividers between the layer, no problem she said! That is amazing flexibility!! The cake came out just how we had envisioned it, and it was DELICIOUS!!! :)
GUEST




My cake was beautiful and delicious (or from what I could tell when my husband smashed it in my face!). I think the communication was a little lacking, but all in all, I was very pleased with how my cake looked and tasted.
GUEST




We had our wedding cake done by Desiree at Chantilly Cakes. All I have to say is this girl has talent. I loved my cake! We only had to with her one time and that was at the cake tasting. At that time we also described what we wanted the cake to look like and about 3 - 4 weeks before the wedding I totally changed my mind. I had gathered about 5-6 photos of cakes I liked. and this wasn't easy because in each pic I only liked one thing about the cake so when I took all those things and put them together I had my cake... LOL... So since I lived all the way in Brandon and Chantilly's is in Largo I emailed all the pics to Desiree and told her what I liked about each cake. My wedding day when we cut the cake it was the first time I had seen my vision. She got my vision of what I wanted exactly..... I was amazed. I was sure it was going to be a disaster, but boy did she prove me wrong. The flavor of the cakes and the fillings she has to choose from are amazing. We did the almond cake one layer, vanilla filling and a rasberry swirl cake layer... Yummy!!!!Thanks so much Desiree for a job well done!

The cake itself was beautiful and Desiree was great. The only problem I had was that when we cut into it, half of it had the wrong filling! It's something no one but I noticed since I was looking forward to the chocolate filling but one more little detail that wasn't as planned. Very frustrating.
GUEST




Our cake turned out beautiful! We were able to sample different cake flavors, fillings and icing options. I mailed in a picture of a cake I had seen in a wedding mag and Chantilly Cakes was able to replicate it beautifully! By booking our wedding through the Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort, our basic cake options were included in the price of our catering through one of their cake vendors. It was so easy! Our upgrades included two medium cheesecakes to supplement the wedding cake, and that was our only direct cost/payment to Chantilly Cakes.
GUEST




we had no clue on how we wanted our cake decorated until last minute and they pulled it off wonderfully. thanks!!!
GUEST




The cake we picked had icing-flowers draped off the sides. The samples of cake we tried at the bakery was AWESOME. It tasted SOOO good and I don't really like cake that much, so I was surprised at how good it was and I was excited for my guests to try it too. However, the cake at our wedding did not taste the same. It tasted like regular cake and the flavors were not even the same ones we picked. We had been very specific about what we wanted and confirmed and re-confirmed multiple times, but the flavors were still off. Also, some of my guests told me there was someone putting the icing-flowers on the cake during the cocktail hour, which means it wasn't done yet and guests were all around. Also, there were pieces of gray cardboard under each layer of the cake that were not in the picture we initially saw of the cake. I would have never picked that cake if I knew there were going to be pieces of cardboard between the layers of cake. Overall, the price was good, and the cake tasted, well, like cake, which was fine. If I had to do it again, I would have just gone with Publix. I do have to say Desiree was very nice, courteous, and seemed very professional every time I spoke with her. She also got back to me immediately if I left a message. My wedding was a Saturday in May when there are tons of weddings, so I don't know if this was just a one-time goof, or if this is normal for them.
GUEST




Desiree did our favors, which were cookies shaped like wedding cakes, complete with our date in frosting and our sea themed wedding cake. Both were delicious and beautiful! During our cake tasting, I described to Desiree exactly how I wanted the cake to look and it was perfect!
GUEST




Our tasting was so fun and delicious with so many options you can't help but find something that suits you. The location was a little shady but Desiree was warm and accommodating. Took a little time to get ahold of her but when I did she was nothing but attentive.
GUEST




Desiree and her team did a great job with our cake. We had a non-traditional wedding cake. In fact, it looked like something out of Alice in Wonderland. Desiree made our tasting easy and efficient. The end product was awesome. She made all the adjustments we asked for, and did not complain.
GUEST




Overall we were satisfied with our wedding cake. It was part of our package with our wedding venue. I thought Desiree was very nice and very flexible with our request. We had the wedding cake mimic the design from our wedding invitations and I thought overall that is what we got. I was expecting the cake to be a beige color like our invitations but it ended up being white. Desiree also did our rehearsal cake. That came out really nice. There were a few smears in the middle of the design but that could have been a fumble in the transport which was done by our wedding coordinator. Both cakes looked very nice although I thought the rehearsal cake tasted better then the wedding cake. The wedding cake was no means bad, it was good but it tasted like regular cake. Nothing that stood out as amazing. Overall, I would recommend Chantilly's Cakes. They did what we asked, were flexible and I thought affordable (based on the rehearsal cake).




Chantilly Cakes is simple amazing. There service and attention to detail are simple breathtaking!! We live in AZ and Chantilly being in Florida we had some concerns about how the cake would turn out since we were not able to do a cake testing. Desiree put all of our concerns to rest and helped us select our flavors based on what flavors were the most popular, and we were very impressed! I only had the 1 bite the DH fed me at the reception, but we were given many complements on how delicious it was. Thanks to Desiree and Chantilly Cakes the cake couldn't have been any better!!

I run Music On The Move DJ's and I have tried a lot of cake over the years at various events and I can easily say that Chantilly's has one of the best if not the best cakes I have had.
