Cynthia B. Married on 03/26/2022Perfect from Start to Finish!!!!
Thank you for our incredible wedding cake, Buttercream Dreams, LLC!!!! Carrie was BEYOND a joy to work with from the initial phone call to our amazing tasting & guidance on creating the cake of your dreams within our budget & providing well beyond what we thought we could afford to her gorgeous attention to detail to our guests rave reviews, she were kind, fun to be around, informative & super-competent & did everything beyond perfectly! The tasting was FUN & generous! It was hard to choose, but we went with Chocolate with Mocha Icing, Lemon with Raspberry Cream Cheese Icing & Almond with Cherry Preserves. All of them were awesome! There are so many things that can go wrong with weddings, but I never worried for a moment about our cake! :D The only thing that went wrong is catering didn't send us home with nearly enough leftovers! ;) Brides and grooms- definitely request all of the leftovers if anyone leaves them, because you'll be sad not to have more of the cake & people will ask for it! ;D And if anyone is wondering if it's worth a drive from Richmond or beyond to Weyer's Cave, a thousand times, yes, it is!

Megan M. Married on 06/05/2022Wonderful Wedding Cake and Cupcakes
I cannot believe how delicious the cupcakes and cake for our wedding were. They were by far the best cupcakes I have ever had and they are also gorgeously done to top it off. Carrie was a pleasure to work with and was attentive and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. I am so beyond pleased with my experience with her. -

Annie Y. Married on 05/30/2022Spectacular cake and service
On Memorial Day, May 30, 2022, my father-in-law turned 100. He is a World War II veteran and Pearl Harbor survivor. We had a very special birthday party for him and as such, we needed a very special cake. We are new to the area so I really had no idea where to start looking for a cake maker so I turned to the internet. I don't know if it was luck or divine provenance, but I was led to Carrie at Buttercream Dreams. I explained the event to her and how I wanted the cake decorated. I wanted his WW II medals included, as well as a cross because my father-in-law became a Presbyterian minister after the war. I left the rest in Carrie's very, very capable hands. Apart from being delicious, the design Carrie came up with was nothing short of a masterpiece; a true work of art. The cake was delicious as well as gorgeous. Carrie was a delight to work with, very pleasant, and professional, and she even delivered the cake personally. Who could ask for more? I am beyond words for how much we loved the cake and how appreciative we are of Carrie's talents. I now know exactly where to go next time I need a cake for not only a super special occasion but for any occasion. Thank you so much, Carrie! -

I can't say enough great things about Carrie. Any time I go to her with pictures or crazy ideas she always over exceeds my expectations. Pretty cakes don't always taste the best, but you can guarentee that cakes from Buttercream Dreams will not only be gorgeous and well made, but they will taste INCREDIBLE. If you're looking for a wedding cake (or cupcakes!), grooms cake, or even cake for a birthday party or other event-you definitely need to chat with Carrie!
I am always amazed at the incredible array of cakes,cupcakes, cookies that Carrie Ashton continues to provide to clients. She has made several Special event cakes for our Family.For my Husband's Birthday party she created a theme cake with only my spoken idea of what I wanted.The detail was truly a work of art.We have worked together on many weddings and is so nice to work with and highly professional. She always gives more than 100 %.So Fortunate to have Carrie in our Wedding Industry.
Buttercream Dreams not only makes beautiful cakes, but they are delicious as well!
