A Stunning Cake and Exceptional Service!

As a wedding planner, I’ve worked with many vendors, and I was thoroughly impressed with Mel and her team at CaraMel's Bakery. The cake for Noelle and Zach’s wedding was not only breathtakingly beautiful but also absolutely delicious—guests were raving about it all night!

Mel’s communication throughout the process was clear and professional, and the cake was delivered on time and in perfect condition. Her attention to detail and reliability made my job so much easier, and I would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented and dependable cake baker for their special day!

Wedding 2-8-25

We recently coordinated an out of town wedding. From the moment we reached out to CaraMels Bakery, Chef Mel was extremely responsive and helpful. She was able to create wonderful deserts for us based on our colors and wish list. The delivery process went smoothly and when her staff realized our desert table was in the sun, they worked with us to create a plan to keep everything from melting. Our guests raved about the deserts! I would highly recommend Chef Mel and her staff.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
