Gretchen is so great to work with! She went above and beyond creating a Clemson stadium cake for our rehearsal dinner and a GORGEOUS and DELICIOUS wedding cake! Her prices can't be beat for the quality you get!

Wonderful experience! I had them make the groom's cake we served at the rehearsal dinner and it was spectacular. From the flavors we requested to the decorations I wanted on it, everything was perfect. It was definitely a party favorite!

These ladies are also the sweetest people you will probably ever work with! Give them a call for your cake needs!

Gretchen's made an amazing Clemson themed tiger sculpted cake for our rehearsal dinner. It was so perfect that a few guests touched it because they didn't know it was a cake! I have had sculpted cakes at events before that were pretty but didn't taste that great. We choose cream cheese pound cake and it was so delicious! Everyone loved it.

We loved using ABS cakes for our wedding! They were friendly when we sat down to talk about prices and options, and they never pressured you or asked you to make a decision. She just said if you choose to use us this is how you secure your spot. The cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious!

Gretchens was incredible to us! The owner is so nice and flexible as well! The 3 tier cake she made was GONE before the night was done! Our family and guest LOVED it. Thank you for making our wedding cake perfect!

We used them for both our cake and food. Our guest were please with the food they said it was like thanksgiving dinner (We had a holiday spread). They were also able to add hot chocolate and apple cider to our drinks with little trouble, so they are very flexible. Their cake is delicious and they did a wonderful job on our wedding cake. It was everything I wanted the cake to look like and she helped us with deciding how we wanted the cake to look like.

Gretchen was amazing. I wanted a unique cake, which wasn't simple. I have to say she knocked this one out of the park!! I couldn't have been happier.

Fantastic Cakes!! Gretchen made our wedding cake when we got married 4 years ago. It was delicious!! My sister-in-law told me, "I don't even like wedding cake, but yours is FANTASTIC!!!" Gretchen and her team are great to work with. Since the wedding we have gotten all of our cakes (anniversary, birthday, etc) from her. If you want a beautiful, delicious cake, then you must visit her!
