Perfect Cake for Our Wedding

Carolina Cupcakery was able to take all of our hobbies and interests and put them onto our wedding cake. We chose a 3 tiered cake, each with a different flavor, and it turned out wonderfully. The tasting experience, customization options, along with the delicious flavors, led us to contract with Carolina Cupcakery. Highly recommend!

Extremely pleased!

From my first email, Amber was amazing. She was quick to respond, thorough and kind. We hired her for my daughter's wedding and highly recommend. We did a small anniversary cake and an assortment of cupcakes. Amber delivered them and set them up beautifully. Every last cupcake was eaten and our guests raved about them. The bride and groom both said the cake was the best they had ever had.

The best around!

Carolina Cupcakery is the best around! We are so glad that we booked them for our wedding. They made all of our dessert dreams come true! From the cake, cupcakes, cake-pops and sugar cookies we couldn't get enough. We have guests still telling us about how much they enjoyed the desserts! Shoutout to Amber, she was very responsive and easy to work with during our wedding planning. They made this part of wedding planning fun and easy!

Amazing Cake & Team

We have used this bakery for years and i had no question about them using them for our wedding! They did a great first tasting and help us narrow down what set up we wanted for our cupcakes and cake. They let us do multiple extra tastings to narrow down our cake and cup cake flavors.
They were very great with communicating the week of the wedding to get a contact name/number for the day of for ease of delivery and set up. They were excellent at getting the cake set up with the flowers and cake topper as well as setting up the cupcakes. They even left clean boxes for any leftovers.
I highly recommend them for any cake or cupcake needs as well as other bakery items!

Amazing Cake

From leveraging the to-go cake tasting option to wedding day the communication and delivery of my cake vision was everything that I hoped for on our special day! We had a 3 layer cake with chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla and OMGGGG the cake was amazing everyone was asking for the company info. Thank you so much Amber for making the process quick, simple, and easy!

Amazing Team

Our wedding was pushed back a year due to COVID and these guys MADE IT WORK. They remembered and kept all of our details close to ensure we had the best day possible. Even though they were constantly busy due to a push back in weddings, they made an effort to reach out to us to avoid letting us feel forgotten! Amazing Team! ❤️

I couldn't ask for any better

We had an amazing experience! We had them do two different flavored cupcakes for our wedding and we went with Almond I DO and Bromance (Chocolate/Peanut butter with whiskey buttercream, candied bacon, and chocolate chips!!!) We also had them make a 6in cake for us and it was spectacular. My husband and I didn't know exactly what we wanted but after talking to them, they knew what we would like. Everything tasted amazing and our vendors loved them too!!

Elegantly Spectacular

My husband and I chose Carolina Cupcakery for our wedding. Dani and the staff were amazing from the start. I accidentially mistyped a cupcake name and she even created a cupcake based on what I typed. When we figured out what happened, she offered to make the correct cupcake and have it ready for us the following day. We chose four different types of cupcakes - Tiramisu, Bromance, Lavendar Kiss, and Choco-Mint Grasshopper. We also had some vanilla and chocolate cake pops (bride and groom) and all of those were gone. The anniversary cake was absolutely beautiful. All of our guests raved about everything and many tried several types of cupcakes (get extras!)

Delicious and Delightful!

We highlight recommend this place for your wedding cake. The planning of the cake was hassle free which put our minds at ease. THEN, the cake was DELICIOUS! It was a major selling point that they only use natural ingredients and no major chemicals. I really loved that. We were so happy and still talk about it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Are you looking for wonderful cupcakes for your wedding then you have contacted the perfect baker. They also have the "best" Gluten Free cupcakes and your guests will not know the difference. I out an out of town wedding in the Outer Banks and could not get vendors in the area to answer my calls for cupcakes. Dawn and her team were there for me as a planner and my client. All the guests loved the presentation and the incredible cupcakes.
