Beautiful Cakes

I can’t say enough about Carissa and her team at Gourmet Goodies. They were so friendly and professional when helping my daughter and future son-in-law pick out their wedding and grooms cakes. They even made dog figurines for one of the cakes at my daughters request. We will definitely use them again!

Better than I imagined

Carissa was amazing to work with. I ordered my cake when the pandemic started. I was able to do a take out cake tasting. I think this was better. I emailed her a picture of something I wanted. They made the most beautiful cake. It was simple but very elegant. The cake was moist and so yummy.

Love, Cake and COVID19

We coordinated with Gourmet Goodies for our wedding cake and grooms cake for our April wedding. Unfortunately our celebration was forced to be postponed to a later date due to COVID19 but that didn’t stop us from having an intimate backyard wedding still on our day! Carissa graciously accepted our request for a small similar wedding cake for our private ceremony and it turned out better than we could have imagined. It made such a huge impact on our special day after everything we’ve been through and we’ll never forget it! (Raspberry filling with almond cake is impeccable!!)

So incredibly happy!

Fantastic flavors, beautiful designs and they delivered! I didn’t originally want. Wedding cake but decided it would be an easier route. When we met with Gourmet Goodies, they blew us away with their cake flavors. I was able to design my cake to how I imagined and it was absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend!
