    10/10 Would recommend

    We where directed to Cakes by Carolynn by our amazing wedding coordinator with Driftwood and they did not disappoint! We ended up ordering cupcakes to match our wedding cake on several occasions prior to our wedding as we where that impressed with it. Personally I am not a big sweets/ cake fan but boy did the raspberry amaretto combo have me going back for a second piece every time. They even accommodated our special request on the icing and a last minute change with no issues. Delivery was as anticipated and the wedding cake looked beautiful on display. Will most definitely be returning whenever in the area for some cupcakes and would 10/10 recommend to anyone.

    Cakes By Carolynn's reply:

    Hi Destini,
    Thank you for the kind words. We are glad you enjoyed the cake. We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness!

    What a beautiful cake!

    I live in Atlanta and hired Carolyn based on her reviews and pictures of her cakes. I wasn't able to do a tasting. I sent her a picture of a cake I found online and she nailed it! The cake tasted amazing as well. If you are on the fence as to who you want to hire definitely choose Carolyn.

    Beautiful and tasted wonderful

    We were very happy with our wedding cake from Cakes by Carolyn. The colors were perfect to the wedding and placement of the flowers we provided done beautifully. They were easy to work with from the cake tasting to my final trip to review the placement. Thank you!

    Tasty cakes

    Our wedding cake was the talk of the reception we did blueberry cake with chocolate Bavarian cream. So mouth watering. The ladies in the store are so nice to talk to and LGBTQ+ friendly. Could not ask for a better experience.

    Hi Edgar,
    Thank you for your positive feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your cake and had a great day. Wishing you many blessings on your marriage!

    Cakes by Carolynn

    We had a great experience at cakes by Caroline. We first had a tasting where they prepared cake and filling for us to try. We actually had a cake topper that we wanted to use and they took that off our hands and showed us many different cake designs. They were able to combine a couple of them to get what we wanted and it turned out exactly as we pictured and it tasted good.

    Cakes By Carolynn's reply:

    Thank you for the positive feedback. We are so happy everything turned out the way you wanted! Congratulations, we wish you all the best!

    Beautiful cake!

    Cakes by Carolynn was recommended by our venue. The staff was very responsive to every email I sent and our phone conversation helped pull everything together. They were able to create the exact cake I had in my mind for my destination wedding. It was beautiful! The cake tasted very good and we were very happy. The only comment I would make would be to add some allergy friendly options as we had to purchase a different dessert from a different vendor to accommodate a guest with a severe dairy allergy.

    Krissey,
    Thank you so much and congratulations! We are so happy you chose us to make your special day extra sweet!

    Beautiful cake

    Thank you for recreating our cake from an Instagram picture. It was beautiful and tasty. Our flavors were butter rum with pineapple and chocolate almond with Bavarian cream.
    We appreciated how smooth the process went from cake tasting to our wedding day.

    Beach wedding cupcake tower

    We planned a destination wedding and had one weekend in town to pretty much plan everything- cakes by carolynn was recommended by our resort, and they were super accommodating with a last minute tasting appointment. I had a vague idea of what I wanted with a cupcake tower, and the woman working with us quickly showed some pictures that met my vision and put together a general quote. It turned out way better than we ever could have imagined, and all our guests loved it! We did chocolate cupcakes and amaretto raspberry cupcakes.

    Absolutely Amazing!

    We selected A Special Touch - Cakes by Carolyn for our wedding. We had looked at some other bakeries, but none quite got us as excited as Carolyn did! The cake selections are phenomenal. Every one we tasted was more amazing than the one before it! We ended up picking 3 different flavors for our cake because we just couldn't decide! The pricing is quite fair. The different styles to choose from is vast. You will NOT be disappointed, that I can guarantee!! We can't wait till our next event so we can come for another cake....in the mean time, we will keep coming for cupcakes!

    Everyone loved it!

    I was very impressed with this cake. It was everything I hoped it’d be. Everyone was raving about the cake all night and the day after. I am so glad there was no fondant and it was all a very buttercream frosting and even the decor was chocolate. The cake itself was also very moist and delicious. If I lived in Florida, I’d recommend this to anyone who wanted a cake for a birthday, wedding, or any other event.

    Creative and tasty cakes

    I got two cakes for my wedding. They made the tasting session go smooth and deciding on which cake was the hardest due to them all being so good. This was a destination wedding and they made everything go so perfect. Cakes were amazing.
