    We received a complimentary wedding tasting and it happened to be near cinco de mayo. The cupcake selections were to die for! They were presented well, tasted delicious, and the wedding quote was very reasonable. I love their new flavors and they have gluten free options. However, if you are a margarita fan, ask for that!

    We used Carytown Cupcakes for our wedding cake and dessert and everyone LOVED it. We highly recommend using them for your wedding! We were able to taste multiple cupcake flavors and have a consultation before booking with them. They delivered and set up everything. We were pleased with their quality of product and cost. Thank you Carytown Cupcakes for adding to our special day! Everything was fabulous!

    We used 4 different flavors of cupcakes for our wedding on April 30th. Carytown Cupcakes made the experience so easy and stress free! Our tasting was so cute because they set up a table with a sign that said "Bridal Tasting" as well as a glass of water. It made everything that much sweeter. Not to mention how amazing their cupcakes are. It was hard to narrow down the flavors but we are so grateful to have the opportunity to use their cupcakes for our wedding. They did an AMAZING job!

    Carytown cupcakes were delicious. We decided to go with cupcakes instead of a cake because it was (a) cheaper and (b) offered more variety. Everything about working with Carytown was great. We went for a tasting with one of my bridesmaids and were able to try a variety of their cupcakes. They were also able to give us the specialty list for the cupcakes they would offer the week of our wedding. We decided to go with lemon, oreo peanut butter, and strawberry shortcake. They were a great company to work with and the cupcakes were delicious!

    We tried every single cupcake vendor in the Richmond area, and Carytown Cupcakes was the best of them all. We ordered about 300 cupcakes and went with a lemon flavor and a spiced cake flavor (I think called Hummingbird). They were a hit. Guests loved them! Definitely recommend.

    it was an absolute pleasure working with Dawn at Carytown Cupcakes. We met at the Richmond Bridal show back in January and immediately knew we wanted to use Carytown Cupcakes for our wedding. And I am so glad we did! Guests raved about the cupcakes, and my husband was ecstatic when he cut open the cake to find it was funfetti!

    I also want to point out the care and attention that was given to use concerning a severe peanut allergy that one of our guests had. Working with Dawn, she catered to that concern so that it wasn't a concern at all. She packaged it separately and we had peanut-free worries the whole day.

    Thank you for everything-- we not only recommend you for weddings but as an everyday sweet treat!

    Instead of having a traditional wedding cake we opted to have cupcakes for our guests and a our own 2 tier cake to cut into and all I can say is...DELICIOUS!! Everyone enjoyed all of the flavors (including the gluten free) that we had. Everyone had at least 3 cupcakes that night and the setup was so beautiful. Thank you Carytown Cupcakes!!

    After almost going with another vendor who was largely unresponsive and unprofessional, I am so glad that I gave Carytown Cupcakes a try. My previous almost-vendor had delicious and beautiful cakes but would take forever to get back to me and, even after we worked out a cake and pricing within the budget that I gave them, suddenly quoted me a higher price when I went back to sign the contract. They tried to give me some vague explanation of taxes that amounted to more than 30%!!

    Carytown Cupcakes was a completely opposite experience. Dawn was friendly and professional at the tasting and had a clear printout of all the options. I especially appreciated the fact that she provided me with pricing for all the options but didn't try to push any of them on me. She just wanted me to know what each option was and how much it would cost. When it was all done, she provided me with a clear itemized printout of what I had chosen and how much each piece cost, with taxes listed separately.

    Of course, the cupcakes were delicious as always. I loved that I could choose some cupcakes to be eggless and provide choices for the guests. Everything was lovely! There were no surprises at any step of the process.

    Cupcakes were moist and delicious. We had three different cupcake flavors and a fourth flavor for the bride and groom cake. Pricing was reasonable and the decorations stood up in the heat. We were pleased with our choice. There are plenty of cupcake flavors to choose from, they are all delicious.

    I loved working with Carytown Cupcakes. They were able to create unique "Tiffany & Co" cupcakes & topper. The guests all commented on how delicious the red-velvet cupcakes were. I would recommend them to any bride in the Richmond area.

    Carytown Cupcakes did an amazing job with our cake and cupcakes. I sent them a picture of what I was looking for, she helped me find the gold sprinkles I wanted, and anytime I had questions or concerns, I would just send an email and she'd get back to me with tips and tricks! I love their cupcakes and would advise everyone to choose Carytown Cupcakes!

    We loved the cupcakes we had at our wedding from Carytown Cupcakes! We had a little hiccup in planning when the employee that was our contact at Carytown Cupcakes left the company and did not pass our information on or let us know, but the rest of the employees worked hard to make sure our catering order was still on track. The cupcakes were delicious, arrived in great shape and right on time. We got so many compliments on them and were tempted to eat some before the guests even arrived. I wish I had time to eat more of them! We would definitely recommend Carytown Cupcakes.

    The cupcakes are amazing & so is the delivery service.
    Getting ahold of the manager is extremely hard.
    I sent multiple emails and called twice between the 2-3 weeks leading up to my wedding to confirm everything with her because some things were not tied up from the cake tasting she finally responded confirming everything 8 days before and then ran the payment 3 days after she said she would.
    It made things very stressful for me but she did get it done in the end.
