10.4.25 Wedding Cake & Cupcakes

Carrie was amazing to work with right from the start! She went above and beyond for our tasting, giving us so many options to choose from (all of which were delicious, it was hard to choose!), and carried that over to our wedding day. Our 3 tier naked cake was simply stunning and guests could not stop talking about how good it was. Would absolutely recommend Custom Confections!

Best Wedding Cake and Desserts!

We loved working with Carrie through the entire wedding planning experience. We had an awesome tasting which helped us decide what flavors we wanted for wedding day. The cake was STUNNING and we took some home to freeze for our anniversary. We would recommend Carrie a million times over!

Delicious Wedding Cake

Carrie Castano baked the most delicious cake we've ever had for our wedding 5/31/25! It was light, flavorful, and perfectly balanced—not overly sweet. The final design was absolutely gorgeous too. I'll update this review with photos once I have them!

Carrie was also a dream to work with—friendly, responsive, and quick to communicate. On top of that, her pricing was more than reasonable. Highly recommend!

Loved working with Carrie!

Carrie was absolutely amazing to work with! She was professional, easy to communicate with, and incredibly flexible. She helped me come with the initial design that so perfect described the Groom. I had a last-minute request to add my dog to the design of the cake, and she not only accommodated it but did so beautifully. The attention to detail was incredible, and the cake was as delicious as it was stunning. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend her for any special occasion!

BEAUTIFUL, DELICIOUS Cake for Vow Renewal - Easy Ordering with Great Communication!

I found Carrie when searching up local cake bakers/bake shops in the Hilton Head area for my 20 year wedding vow renewal celebration we had in October. Carrie was SO wonderful and easy to work with, helping us to select the perfect cake. She was so accommodating with every request and even delivered our cake to the venue. The cake was ABSOLUTELY beautiful and delicious! I highly recommend Carrie and Custom Confections!!

Perfection!

Carrie was absolutely amazing to work with and our guests ate every last bite of our wedding desserts.

From the start, Carrie was organized, professional, prompt, and fun! We met for a cake tasting with Carrie and even brought our parents along. Carrie showed us all the cake design options, shared tips on low country weddings, and gave us the opportunity to try the delicious cake flavors! We all had a great time and loved getting to know Carrie.

I shared inspiration photos of my dream wedding cake and mini cupcakes and Carrie brought it to life. The guests raved it was literally the best wedding cake they have ever had. Thank you so much, Carrie!

Carrie is the best!

Carrie created our wedding cake and grooms cake, and we were thrilled with the results. She worked with us to do multiple different flavors in our wedding cake, all of which were a hit. She also worked with us to make my grooms cake dreams come to life, and my husband was so happy. Our cakes were complimented the entire night, with many people having multiple slices because they liked it so much. Thank you Carrie!
