Debbie is an absolute gem!

Debbie is an absolutely brilliant baker and human all around. Her response time is fantastic, she was SO kind and helpful, and most importantly - her flavors are amazing! After our first tasting, I joked with my fiancé that I wanted her to adopt me. She totally understood our vision with having edible flowers, and the day after the wedding, my family kept raving about the cake and asking if I could get the recipe for the frosting! We never had to worry about a thing with Debbie, she's our fairy god-baker. :)

I promise you won't find better cake than this.

Oh my god I wish I could give Debbie 10 stars!

My wife and I lovingly refer to her as "The Cake Witch" because she MUST have some sort of magic. She is unquestionably an artist of cake. Not just style (but definitely style!), but flavor as well.

We had two weddings (thanks, COVID!) and our cake at the first was so incredible we asked Debbie to do the second as well, and it was even more beautiful. We had guests telling us how incredible the cake looked and tasted well after the wedding was over.

I don't generally like cake very much as a dessert, and I was worried about getting a wedding cake cause I didn't want our dessert to be "good...for cake, I guess." I also think a lot of wedding cakes are expensive and bland. Debbie's was neither. And from the moment we came in to taste the cakes, we could tell, this baker loves what she does. Our tasting experience with Debbie was the best out of any bakery in two states, as she made us some custom tiny cakes and served them up with potential fillings and frostings, giving us information and advice like a cake sommelier. She even let me bring my grandmother with us for the cake tasting for our second wedding. My grandma had the time of her life and was so grateful to be allowed to join us.

I can't recommend Debbie enough. She's magical, a lovely person, and superhuman at making cakes.

Debbie is so much more than a baker

Debbie is a cake artist. Her work was both delicious and beautiful. She is so generous and kind and talking with her feels personal. Her vision for our cake was so much better than anything we could have imagined.

Wedding cake

We were so happy to choose the connection to the Charming Kitchen, Italian Bakery, specifically, “Not Just Cheesecake”, for our wedding cake needs. Debbie Caracciolo-Smith did a superb job in creating a tasty and appealing traditional white wedding cake. We had requested alternating layers of chocolate and white cake with mocha mousse filling. She decorated the cake with waves and flowers that I had asked for, and ribbon colors to match our wedding theme. It turned out well and looked beautiful.

Debbie was absolutely amazing to work with. From start to finish she immediately made my husband and I feel so comfortable. We were so excited after the cake tasting and hearing her creative ideas to see what our cake would look like on our special wedding day! Let’s just say we were beyond impressed to say the least- it was stunning! From the sugar flower detail, to the gold delicate embellishments, it was beyond anything we had ever seen- delicious as well! We had so many people come up to us after the wedding saying how gorgeous and yummy it was - truly a work of art and that’s all thanks to the amazing Debbie and her creative genius! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for high quality taste with gorgeous personalized style. Thank you Debbie!!

Not only are the cheesecakes amazing, but service was exceptional!
Debbie is extremely friendly and made a great impression from the start.

She has the cutest shop where we went for the cake tasting (one of the best parts was being able to take leftovers home!). Debbie offered us use of any of her available linens and dessert stands and provided great advice on how our cake table was to be decorated.

She was able to create the wedding cake we wanted and it looked and tasted better than we could have imagined.

Not Just Cheesecakes BLEW MY HUSBAND AND ME AWAY. This is coming from two people who aren't big cake eaters to begin with. Not only is the neatest person to work with, but also makes the best tasting cakes. There is a unique flavor to each and you can tell she really knows how to make the flavors come alive! The best part is her level of creativity. She creates masterpieces. You tell her what you want, or tell her to be creative, and she will not let you down.

I highly recommend Not Just Cheesecakes for any event...baby showers, weddings, birthdays, you name it, she'll do it. And...you'll have fun getting creative with her! :)

Debbie at Not Just Cheesecakes baked us an amazing wedding cake this past September! Debbie is a master of her craft and very easy to work with. We didn't really know what we wanted, but Debbie was able to figure out what our vision was, and she delivered a beautiful cake that was even better than we expected. She is so easy to talk to that we bounced some of our other wedding ideas off of her, and she was more than happy to help. She helped us design our guestbook table and even helped set it up at the venue! We will definitely recommend Not Just Cheesecakes to our friends and family!

I loved my experience with Not Just Cheesecakes in Campbell, California. Debbie is full of creativity and passion for what she does. She was wonderful to work with as well.... We ordered a triple chocolate for our engagement party and it was so delicious. Our guests were totally blown away by the flavor and presentation. Debbie added so many special touches and she was reasonably priced... Thanks Debbie!

Debbie is a miracle for any bride who is overwhelmed, planning the perfect event and looking for a delicious way to end your evening. She has done all the cakes for our family events from my cousin's wedding twenty years ago, to my BFFs little boys birthday. When it came time to plan my wedding there was no else that I would use.

I worked with Debbie on a very specific vision. My vision was a Belle-Epoque style wedding with Victorian style sentiment on Valentine's weekend. Instead of centerpieces of flowers I wanted cakes. And I envisioned a head table dripping in deserts and deliciousness. I wasn't concerned about matchy matchy - i just wanted beautiful and delicious. Debbie exceeded my expectations. To this day, people come up to me and my family and tell us they have never been to a more beautiful wedding. The most consistent items of mention? Our unique cake centerpieces and the head table. Debbie outdid herself. When we put the treats, cakes and goodies out for boxing - they disappeared in a flash. They were gorgeous, delicious and Debbie was such a pleasure to work with. Not only is she incredibly talented and creative, she is genuine, cares about you and your event AND she is so easy to work with. Our wedding was highly complicated with limited set up times and a movie-set vision - Debbie worked within the limitations of our event sight and created a room that was pure Hollywood beautiful - it belonged at a royal palace. We love her for how much effort and specialness she created for us. Don't waste your time with anyone else if you are trying to plan a special event. Debbie is the quintessential professional with immense talent. If you don't believe me check out the photos here: http://www.joshgruetzmacher.com/blog/san-francisco-wedding-vanessa-and-glen/ and here
