Chocolate Pi

Words cannot describe the amazing job that Kim and Jade did with both our wedding cake and our groom's cake. When we first met with them, we instantly loved their positive energy and great ideas for the cake. I decided a little bit after we decided to use them for our wedding cake that I wanted to do a groom's cake for my husband and I was absolutely blown away. My husband is a huge LOST fan (tv show) and I knew I wanted something a little different, not just a big LOST logo. The end result was beyond amazing. If I could upload pictures I would in a heartbeat! I did not know exactly what I had in mind but let Kim and Jade know my husband's favorite episodes. They took the idea and ran with it and the end result was so creative and detailed that we were just is disbelief. Enough about the great looking the cakes - the flavors are AWESOME! We decided on the "Champagne Celebration" for our bottom layer (champagne scented cake, strawberries, and mimosa cream), the second layer was a vanilla cake with amazing chocolate ganache, and the top was a special request - pumpkin made with fresh pumpkin! All were fantastic. We received so many compliments. This team is extremely attentive, detail oriented, and creative. I hear they make great french macaroons as well! We will definitely use them again for any cake needs.

Kim Yelvington, owner of Chocolate Pi, was a delight to work with. Our experience with Chocolate Pi was excellent. Kim listened to what we wanted and delivered. Her cakes are all absolutely amazing. We finally selected a butter cream cake with raspberry and ganache filling. It was delicious! I described to Kim what I wanted regarding design and I was so pleased when I saw my cake at the reception! It was intricately detailed and beautiful beyond words. We love Chocolate Pi and highly recommend!

The cake was decadent. We had Kim make our grooms cake and she did a great job. It was a giant Mahi Mahi (she has it posted on her website). The cake was very moist, too.

Best cake vendor in town and surrounding area. Quality work and quality taste. Our cake was exactly what we envisioned and everyone loved how it tasted. Loved it!

Kim is an extremely talented cake artist and her desserts were absolutely delicious! Our wedding reception was a dessert and cocktail evening event. The fact that Kim nailed the cake and bite-sized treats was so important to us. Everyone enjoyed the display and tastes! Kim is hard to reach by phone/email, but it's worth the effort once you do - she does great work and is affordable.

Our wedding cake was beautiful! We wanted all italian flavors and Chocolate Pi delivered!!! It was the prettiest cake I have ever seen with impecable attention on the piped detail! It was a white wedding monument :) DELICIOUS barely describes how amazing each layer tasted! Communication was a little rough ( delayed responses) but I wouldn't have done my cake anywhere else :)

My new husband and I love Kim and Jade at Chocolate Pi! We were definitely needing someone that could think outside of the box. We were pointed in Kim's direction and once we had our first meeting I was convinced "she was the one that could pull it off"! My then fiance had come up with a theme of Hell Freezing Over and Pigs Flying, since we were together so long and I was convinced he was never gonna ask me to marry him. No other cake baker seemed interested in our ideas. Kim embraced our ideas and ran with them and our wedding cake was PHENOMENAL! From the minute people walked in the door, they were going directly over to the cake and taking pictures. Everyone was raving over how awesome the cake looked. Kim did better than we could ever imagined! It was perfect! And not only was the artistry on it beyond all belief but the cake itself was beyond delicious! Every flavor was so moist and delicious. The cake was the highlight of the evening, coming in second to only my red and black wedding dress!!!! I will be calling upon Kim and Jade for all of our cakes from now on! I can not even begin to express how unique and over the top Chocolate Pi is... I am so thankful we found them.

Michael and I were not your traditional bride and groom and did not want a traditional wedding cake and Kim far exceded our expectations!The love of travel is what initially brough us together and Kim made us a 3 tiered cake of suitcases with replicas of personal items flowing out of the center one, our names on each piece and a globe sitting off to the side! I wish I could post a photo!Our DJ and all our guests took photos of the cake! It was absolutley SPECTACULAR and so delicious! We took the leftover on our honeymoon cruise with us! Thanks Kim!

Kim is such a talented baker! I had an idea of what I wanted our cake to look like and Kim transformed that idea into reality. The cake was beautiful and exceeded my expectations. Our guests were in awe of it and everyone kept on asking who our baker was. They also raved about the cake...it was moist and delicious! Key Lime Strawberry is a must try. Chocolate Pi's service is impeccable and we can't wait to get our next cake from them!

Honestly I was a little disappointed with my cake design. I showed Kim a picture of what I wanted (a three tiered square cake with a swirl design, chocalate ribbon around each layer with a bow on the middle layer). The chocolate ribbon was actually frosting which was supposed to be real ribbon. And the ribbon wasn't made of fondant, but the shiny frosting that I don't like. I'm not sure how that happened when we discussed using actual ribbon. Also, my cake layers were not entirely square, but a little rounded. I know that's picky, but I wanted square layers with sharp corners. But the flavors (strawberry shortcake, praline pecan and citrus trio) were so delicious that people were talking about the cake for days after the wedding! I would still highly recommend Chocolate Pi, but just make sure that you both understand EXACTLY what is wanted.

My fiance and I saw Chocolate Pi on the tv show "Platinum Weddings." They are located in our area and we decided to set up a cake testing for our upcoming wedding. The store was magnificent and we met with the owner, Kim. She had several delectable cakes for us to try. As we were tasting, Kim spoke with us about our colors, clothing, invites, flowers, etc. All of this enabled her to create a few unique cakes/designs. We discussed our options and then she sketched the final decision and tailored it to our liking. It was amazing! We'd been to other cake vendors who did not do this and it frustrated us.Chocolate Pi works within your budget and delivers above and beyond. The cake was absolutely breathtaking and anytime I had a question or needed to provide updates/directions for the day of/set up, Kim was extremely responsive and professional. Our guests were in awe of our cake and the taste of our two different flavors exceeded everyone's traditional wedding cake expectations! It was so good that I hope to order a smaller version of our wedding cake each year from Chocolate Pi.

Hands down, they have the best looking and the best tasting cakes out of all the bakeries I've been to in the Tampa area! Kim, the baker and owner is very nice to work with and she got my vision for the cake exactly right!It looked even better than I had imagined and it tasted amazing! We went with the key lime strawberry, the exotica and the chocolate with raspberry flavors. We also got a grooms cake that looked really awesome too! They were a little hard to get a hold of the week of the wedding but they delivered the cake right on time and it was fantastic!

Our cake was amazing!The actual cake was delicious!we got a 3 tiered cake. Each tier was a different flavor.we chose the exotica, champagne and strawberries, and vanilla bean.Kim went above and beyond on the design.It was breathtaking!Kim, the owner, is sometimes hard to get a hold of. But if you choose Chocolate pi you will not be disappointed with the end result!

Chocolate Pi made my wedding cake for my February 20th wedding, and I was so happy with the results. The cake looked fabulous. I think it came out better than I had even imagined and it was really delicious- we got so many compliments about it!

My cake was absolutely beautiful! Kim used a design that I drew and the one that my husband drew and combined them into a gorgeous cake. The cake tasted just as good as it looked. My sister used Chocolate Pi for her wedding and it was a beautiful cake too!

I can't say enough good things about chocolate pi!I saw a picture of a cake I LOVED and took it to Kim.She said she could do it ~and she did, only better!

When it comes to cake and cookies, Chocolate Pi has mastered it. Kim, the pastry chef and owner, is an awesome cake artist and great to work with. The flavors that she offers are some that I would have never thought to put together. It was so great to walk into a cake shop and have literally a menu of flavors to choose from rather than the ala carte choosing of cake, icing, filling, etc that most other places provide. My cake was absolutely beautiful and flawless in design, not to mention, as per my request, it was made with buttercream icing and NOT fondant. She was able to take a picture of the design on my dress and use it for the piping design on the 5 tier cake. The sugar flowers are handmade by her and are absolutely beautiful. The cake that she makes is so light and melts in your mouth. All of my guests were impressed with how great it tasted and everyone wanted to know which bakery I used so they could get their next big event cake there too! I also had her make my favors. I wanted edible favors, so she made cookies that looked just like my cake! They turned out beautiful and tasted amazing. Chocolate Pi will be my choice for future events and Birthday cakes :)

I had several tastings and struggled with this part of the reception. Then I met Kim. She sincerely listened to me while I didn't know exactly what I wanted and she worked with me to create it. The cake was beautiful and absolutley delicious! One thing that was strange was the cake was fondant when we specified we wanted buttercream. However, if I would have known her fondant was so delicious I would have chosen it in the first place. Can't wait to eat our top layer and I will get all future cakes from chocolate pi.

I took in a magazine clipping and described to Kim the vision I had for my cake. I was blown away at my reception when I walked up to "the cake" I had wanted. She did a perfect job. The design was truly beautiful. The best part of the cake was definitely the first bite! It was incredibly delicious. I have had friends and family raving that it was the "best wedding cake they've ever eaten." People don't just offer those kind of compliments unless they mean it!

I have to say that we have had many compliments on our cake, on both the taste as well as the creative design. And it really was beautiful, however, i guess it just wasnt what we expected, and maybe we misunderstood the design as it was proposed to us. Additionally our flowers i believed were to be sugar flowers and yet instead we ended up with fondant. But like i said, it was beautiful and very good, even if it wasnt what we expected.

After many attempts to reach Chocolate Pi I finally made an appointment with Kim to go into the shop. The cake was awesome. I loved all the samples provided. We discussed, in detail, what the cake would look like. She even drew out a sketch. My cake design was very simple. The day of the wedding the cake arrived with no issues. It was beautiful and tasted wonderful. The only issue is that it wasn't exactly what I asked for. It wasn't a huge deal but was not what I wanted. I was still happy with the cake but disappointed with the attention to detail.

Chocolate Pi exceeded all my expectations of wedding cake. Kim does not compromise on taste or presentation; instead, she elevates both to new heights. She was fun to work with and calm in the face of chaos. I don't think we can wait til the one-year anniversary to eat our top layer; it's too tempting!

We had an amazing experience with Chocolate Pi! Kim is a true artist and is able to create a masterpiece that is both beautiful and tastes incredible! All of our guests were amazed with the way our cake looked and also said it was the best cake they had ever tasted! We had five tiers, each a different flavor and many of our guests went in for seconds! We hope to get another cake through Chocolate Pi soon! They also have other great desserts as well!

Not only was our wedding cake beautiful - it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! Kim was great to work with. During our initial meeting she really took the time to get to know us and listen to our likes and dislikes. The design she came up with was exactly what we were looking for! We received so many compliments about the cake - my favorite, "this is the best cake I have ever had." We're already planning on ordering our wedding cake flavor for our anniversary cake - a much smaller version of course :-).

Kim provided us the best wedding cake ever. The cake was designed specifically for our wedding and was the talk of the evening. It actually tasted even better. The cake was moist and the icing was delicious. She is a great person and very easy to work with.

My husband and I had a small ceremony 03-09-08. We only had immediate family attend (17people) We went to Chocolate Pi and this was the best wedding cake I have EVER eaten before. We had a marble cake and the outside was white with light blue swirls and roses. It was delicious and worth every penny.

Chocolate Pi was the perfect choice for us for our wedding cake! we actually ended up ordering more goodies from them b/c everything they make is so tasty! Also, Kim is the sweetest! she stayed late for me to pick up cookies and was always very responsive and helpful! the cake was BEAUTIFUL and SO tasty! we're still getting compliments!

Kim Yelvington is so wonderful - such a talented artist and chef. Many people have made unsolicited comments about how delicious my cake was. One friend, in fact, said it was the best wedding cake she'd ever had. I highly recommend the Lemon-Raspberry.

Kim is wonderful. Her cakes and shop are beautiful and everything I've tasted is soooo good! I'll go back there for future cakes no doubt! We got a "Champagne Celebration" flavored cake and a Chocolate Mousse cake for My Mom's B-day cake. Prices were great and we have a lot of extra cake! Again, this was an easy vendor to work with. I showed her what I liked and we tried cake and she made it. It was that easy. I was relaxed knowing my cake was in her hands - literally. she delivered it herself! I haven't tried that many, but I'd have to say this Chocolate Pi is one of the best in Tampa - it HAS to be!!

Chocolate Pi is wonderful. I think they are the best in Tampa! The whole experience with Kim is exactly what I imagined when I think of shopping for a wedding cake. The tasing was great, and her shop is cozy and cute. Great service and fantastic quality...good prices too!

Chocolate Pi designed a groom's cake for my daughter's wedding. Since my son-in-law likes to play poker I thought it would be fitting to have a cake made to look like a poker table showing a royal flush. Aside from looking exactly like a poker table, it tasted heavenly - exactly like it did during the tasting months before. It was so life-like that when I showed off some pictures some people remarked that they thought we actually had a poker game going on. The mango passionfruit filling was fabulous. We have decided that all our brithday cakes will be ordered from Chocolae Pi from now on.

Meeting with Kim was always a pleasure; she was able to hear my vision and make it a reality. Most people said they have never seen such an amazing wedding cake. Chocolate Raspberry and Key Lime Strawberry, I had enough cake left over to feed the next several family gatherings!

I was having wedding cake drama and couldn't find anyone in Lakeland that I liked. I was nervous to have my cake travel so I hadn't thought about the Tampa area at all. Someone suggested that I check into Chocolate Pii because they had used them for their daughter's wedding shower, rehearsal dinner and wedding and recommended them very highly. I decided to pop into their bakery one day just to get a feel. They were so friendly and helpful and quickly set up an appointment for me the next week. During my appointment I was made to feel like I was the only bride that mattered. She focussed completely on me and made wonderful suggestions. She is a true artist and drew up the cake of my dreams in a short time. By the end of the appointment all of my worries were gone and I left with a booking for my wedding cake and groom's cake that were exactly what I wanted, exactly what flavors I wanted and the confidence that my cake would travel very smoothly. When I arrived at my reception, I saw my beautiful cakes and was beyond delighted with them. They were perfect. Better than I could have imagined and tasted unbelieveable!!! All of my guests were amazed at the look and taste and commented how they never saw cakes as beautiful as mine. I highly reccomend Chocolate Pii! OH, and their cupcakes are out of this world!!

Chocolate Pi was incredible. Our guests were amazed at the design and taste of the wedding cake as well as the groom's cake. Kim is very creative, easy to work with, and flexible with scheduling meetings. She also designed and baked our favors, which were delicious and eye-catching. So many wedding cakes out there are dry and taste stale, but Chocolate Pi's cake was moist, flavorful, and memorable.

Kim at Chocolate Pi did a fabulous job on my cake. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she did it!

Our cake was gorgeous. My only complaint was that it wasn't quite as good as the samples, but it was delivered on time and was absolutely exquisite. I would highly recommend Chocolate Pi, it was a great experience. Very professional and responsive.

Planning a wedding? Do not use this bakery! We had a small ceremony and ordered two cakes. We had no problems with our first cake. However for our big celebratory party a few weeks later, we ordered a larger (4-tiered) cake. Disaster. We had been in the store several times- spoken to staff on the phone- we shouldn't have had any issues. We had ordered a cake w/ bright spring colors and fresh fruit. We show up and are given a cake with big mauve roses. The chef didn't like the fruit idea and didn't see the need to call us. The cake was also leaning heavily- the clerk admitted this but didn't know what to do. Or care. The only concession we got from them was the addition of yellow roses. No one on management level ever addressed our concerns. This was our wedding cake. It was expensive and we should have received better service. We were really disappointed. I would never recommend Chocolate Pi to anyone. Maybe if we were more South Tampa we would have been treated differently.

Kim is by far the best baker in the Tampa area. She was the most professional and personable. I scheduled 4 different cake testing, and drove in from Orlando. I was sorely disappointed with the other vendors, and completely blown away by Kim. Her shop is so cute. She did exactly what I wanted, and then some. She took fabric swatches of the wedding colors to be sure to match the cake color to perfection. Everyone at the wedding was blown away by the look and the taste. All of her flavors are out of this world!! It was hard for us to narrow it down! We will be sure to return to her for any cakes we need for special occasions, especially for our baby shower. I HIGHLYYYY recommend her!!!

Kim and the staff at Chocolate Pi are amazing! I could not be more pleased with the service provided and the beautiful and delicious wedding cake she made for me. Kim’s professional, courteous, timely and willing to work with whatever you want for your wedding cake. She gave me wonderful ideas, let me taste every type of cake she made, and really created a masterpiece…it was almost too gorgeous to eat…but it sure tasted wonderful. Kim is a true artist!

Kim is the BEST!!! We came to her with a bunch of pictures and ideas and she was wonderful - very helpful - the cake came out amazing - exactly what we wanted - the flavors she offers are endless and each one is better than the next. I will definately go bake for occasion cake even though it is over an hour drive - they are THAT GOOD!!!

Our wedding cake was fabulous - beautiful and tasted sooo good! Kim is so great to work with, she made the cake process so easy from our first tasting to delivery and setup. Plus she has amazing flavors to choose from!

An amazing experience! Do the tasting...I say again do the tasting and then order your cake. I love to cook and there is true art in the oven at Chocolate Pi! We are counting down the days till we can eat the top of our wedding cake. Only 11 more days. Oh one last thing, when cake tasting remember they tend to be sweeter than on your wedding day.

The cake looked sooo good! It was decorated to look like my dress & it turned out so well, I got so many compliments on how it looked & how it tasted! It looked so pretty I didn't wanna cut it!

Working with Kim was incredible! I brought a picture of the cake I wanted, and she helped us to make it our own! Also, the flavors will amaze your guests! Her cake flavors are not the norm, so they bring a great sense of flare to the traditional style. The whole experience was really fun, and seeing my cake at my reception brought tears to my eyes. It was the hit of the night, people are still talking about it! Oh, and 1 year later, it was still very good ;)

She made my cake exactly the way I wanted, and we were able to have 3 different flavors for each level of the cake to please our guests! Several of my friends have also used them for thier weddings, and everyone has been pleased. They are now the baby shower cake provider of choice in my circle!

I absolutely loved Chocolate Pi. They were VERY friendly and helpful and Kim is so incredibly talented. My cake was even more fabulous than I thought it could possibly be and absolutely delicious! It was a little more than I planned to spend on my cake, but was definitely worth every penny. Highly recommend!

Kim and I have been working together since the beginnings of Chocolate Pi. She has made everything for me from a Ferrari cake to a Sandcastle, to STUNNING wedding cakes...she even made me cupcakes shaped like Tiffany Boxes!! She is incredibly talented, and I truly enjoy working with her. She is my resident Pastry GURU!

Many of my brides have used them and their cakes are out of this world! Reasonable prices,Beautiful cakes! My brides are using them for all their cakes!

Chocolate Pi makes the most amazing cakes! Not only do they taste good, but they look amazing too! Kim will create a custom, one of a kind wedding cake that will amaze all of your guests. She is the best!

If a beautiful delicious cake is what you want look no further. Definitely one of my favorites!!!

If the great masters worked with cake, than Kim and her Chocolate Pi team, would certainly be the Picasso of the group. I was introduced to Kim almost 7 years ago and since that fateful meeting ( to me anyway, since i am so blessed to work with her) she has created MASTERPIECES of fondant, icing, and boston creme pie deliciousness for me and my clients. From a Magnum PI Ferrari to a Miami Vice Speedboat, to a Hollywood themed wedding, and a sandcastle one too, her cakes are simply breathtaking. Nothing i have challenged her with has phased her, and i feel so lucky to have such talent right at my fingertips for clients. Kim, you are legendary, and thank you for creating the "WOW" factor at so many of my events. She truly makes the conversation piece become the "ART" of the conversation!

Kim is truly a creative master of her craft. Her creations are works of art and the finest edible delights to boot! Go in for a tasting & leave knowing you're in for an incredible visual masterpiece! Hurry!!! Make an appointment!!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???

Chocolate Pi is really a step above- the only provider of its kind in our market. Each of Kim's cakes is a personalized, custom made creation designed to not only look beautiful but also taste incredible. Absolutely the best!

I can't say enough about chocolate pi! Each cake is a piece of edible art. Amazing flavors and extremely moist cakes! The staff are true professionals. We look forward to seeing them at each delivery!

I love Chocolate pi! My mouth starts watering just thinking about her cakes...Fantastic to photograph, even better to eat. I also love the wedding dress cookie favors.
