Gifted hands…truly delicious.

It’s been some time (2018)…Cakes by Kasarda (Owner: Tammy Pilch) did an amazing job for our wedding. A beautifully crafted and perfected red velvet, layered with her own blend of raspberry jam and topped with a decadent layer of REAL cream cheese. Our cake was draped in silk. Our wedding cakes was elegant, delicious, and moist. We’ve celebrated anniversaries with a smaller version and birthdays with cupcakes. Tammy was a delight to work with and chat with. I hate that the business is now closed/retired. She was truly the best to work with…friendly and professional with gifted hands and a wonderful craft. Love the Teachey’s!

The best and delicious

Cakes by Kasarda was by far our favorite vendor for our wedding! We got our wedding cake, cannolis, chocolate covered strawberries cookies and she even added banana pudding bites that weren’t even on her menu. Everything was delicious and a huge hit.

Outstanding Quality and Attention to Detail

We were thrilled with our 'Chesapeake Bay Steamed Crab' themed groom's cake for our son's wedding. Tammy embraced our vision for a cake that would pay homage to the groom's hometown of Baltimore and our affinity for steamed crabs, Ravens football and good times with friends and family. The cake was a huge hit and I am so happy with how it all turned out. Tammy is amazing and a joy to work with. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone.

Most delicious cake EVER

Wow! We had some cake connoisseurs at our wedding and they unanimously agreed that this was the BEST cake they have ever tasted. I usually despise red velvet cake, but somehow I ended up falling in love with the red velvet cake with a cookies and cream filling. Just typing this review is making my mouth water. If you want the most beautiful and tasty cake in the world, you've found the right baker!

Wonderful Wonderful!!!

Tammy’s cake and cupcakes were the “Icing on the top” of a most wonderful day! This was a destination wedding for our daughter who lives in Austin, so my husband and I were privileged to get to meet Tammy and do the tasting of cakes fillings and frostings. What a great way to spend a Saturday morning! We could not decide on three cupcake flavors, so we added a fourth. Since none of our family lives in. Charleston, we were pleased how responsive Tammy was by e-mail.
The wedding was 2 days ago. Everything was more beautiful and every bit as delicious as we expected. My only regret was not being to hug Tammy and thank her in person!

Sweet Perfection!

From our initial tasting, I knew Cakes by Kasarda would be a sweet addition to our special wedding day!!

All of her cake and icing flavors were absolutely delicious! There is truly a flavor for everyone! We chose your classic vanilla and chocolate for the base tier and the sweet potato for the top tier. The sweet potato and honey cinnamon filling was AMAZING!

Tammy is a pleasure to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable and talented. Her years of talent and cake skills are out of this world. You will not be disappointed.

I highly recommend Cakes by Kasarda for your wedding and special event needs! Yum!!

The best cake!!

I would highly recommend Cakes by Kasarda. Tammy so easy to work with and she perfectly executed our dream wedding cake! Not to mention that the flavors were delicious and more robust/complex compared to some of the other bakeries we tried. If you’re in the market for a wedding or specialty cake, look no further!

Both Tammy and the Cake Were Amazing!

My daughter and her fiance were so impressed with Tammy and her cake! As a cake lover, I had been looking forward to 2 or 3 cake tastings, but Tammy was our first and last. She had a number of flavors for us to taste and it was very obvious that she had her stuff together.

Before we got off her porch, Jess and Grant had decided they wanted Tammy to bake their cake. Jessica gave Tammy a picture of a cake she liked, and was as excited about the cake as she was her dress!

On the wedding day, Tammy came through with a gorgeous and delicious wedding cake. We cannot say enough great things about her (and her cake, of course!)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Tammy at Cakes by Kasarda is amazing! We met 7 years ago when she made my delicious German chocolate wedding cake. I was her coordinator at her wedding and both the pumpkin spice and the chocolate raspberry grooms cake, that she baked, were delicious and amazing to look at. I have worked with her at quite a few weddings and the cakes are always fabulous. Tammy also provides great service, ensuring she delivers on time. I also love her tastings; she serves the cake, icing and filling separately so that the bride and groom can try any combination they like to find the perfect one for them. Her website also has the most comprehensive cake information I have ever seen.
