    No longer making wedding cakes!

    Kara doesn't sell wedding cakes anymore, she owns an Etsy shop that provides cake decorations and food safe silicone molds, but she doesn't make cakes. I called her to ask about making our wedding cake and told her that I found her here, and she told me that she's asked to have her business removed multiple times because it's confusing for brides, ut they won't take it down. I'm posting here to let other brides know!

    Awesome service!! She was so creative and spent so much time with us. We made many changes and added our groom's cake and bridesmaid's brunch and she was so flexible and willing to do everything quickly. Everything was not only beautiful but totally delicious!!!

    Kara created an exquisite 3-tiered floral cake for our wedding. Our first meeting was at the tasting -- what a fun and delicious experience! Kara was very helpful choosing our design (we chose one she had done in the past) and flavors (we had a different one for each layer). She was very accommodating with changes and communicated effectively via email. Our guests were very complimentary of both the cake's design and taste. If anything, the cake tasted too good; many of our guests had to try every layer! I would unreservedly recommend Kara and A Cake to Remember.

    We loved working with Kara. She is absolutely no-nonsense and very serious about her work. When I had a vision of a simple white cake with gumpaste magnolias, I knew that she would be the perfect woman for the job. She is a true artist - her photos will knock your socks off!

    Also - Our wedding was on the more intimate side with twenty guests and Kara was beyond accommodating of our budget and bringing our vision to life. Besides the appearance of our cake - it was absolutely delicious. Our guests raved about how the flavors (almond cake with amaretto filling) were a match made in heaven and the perfect complement to our wedding meal.

    Thank you, Kara!

    A Cake To Remember LLC's reply:

    I loved your cake! It really was simple and elegant and the magnolias are one of my favorites to make. Congratulations on your marriage!

    Kara is wonderful! She's very professional and takes pride in her cakes. It tastes real and not commercialized at all. She's affordable and willing to work with your budget to make what you want possible within reason. She responds to email/phone calls in a timely manner. I love that she offers PayPal as an option to pay--very convenient compared to paying with a check (which is an option she offers too...) My husband and I both recommend her for anyone's wedding!

    Kara is AMAZING!!! If I could give the value of her cakes a 10 out of 5 I would! She could be charging WAY more given the quality she brings to the table, pun intended. The cakes that she makes are incredibly delicious and her artistic abilities are even more impressive. She made the most beautiful flowers, that matched the centerpieces, for our cake, my guests could not believe they were not live. We had 110 guests at the wedding and the cake was made for 130, there were crumbs at the end of the night! It was very sad not to have leftovers, guess I will have to wait a year for the anniversary topper *sigh*
    FYI: If you are not a fan of fondant Kara's is very thin and not at all gummy or chewy. She was absolutely correct when she said we wouldn't notice it. The cake was delicious even with the fondant!

    Kara is wonderful to work with and made a beautiful wedding cake and groom's cake for our event. After meeting, we were able to coordinate everything though email, which was super convenient. The cakes were awesome and absolutely delicious. The groom's cake was of our dog and was a huge hit at the reception!

    We loved our wedding cake that we got from Kara at A Cake to Remember! It was the most beautiful cake we have ever seen!! Kara did an amazing job on the flowers, gold foiling, and the overall taste of the cake. All of our guests were talking about how beautiful the cake was!! Kara was a pleasure to work with! She is very professional and has great suggestions. We would definitely recommend A Cake to Remember to everyone we know!

    The cake was very tasty. It was hard to choose our favorite flavor combination, so we had something different on each tier. It was very beautiful, and turned out just as we had envisioned. There was also great value in the pricing. We found that many bakers had a very large range depending on what sort of decoration you wanted. A Cake to Remember based the price off of the size of the cake.

    We LOVED our wedding cake. It was exactly what we wanted and it looked just like the photo. It tasted great too, although my groom and I were way too excited and dancing to even enjoy a piece. We were nibbling off of it. Kara was extremely professional and responsive. I was nervous we'd run out of cake, but she assured me we wouldn't and we didn't. We even had the top tier left over, which we hadn't planned on saving, but we did. Kara's prices were really reasonable considering the quality and beauty of the cake we received. Kara is an amazing talent and I recommend her without reservation.

    Loooved the cake it was beautiful, my guest are still talking about it. It was everything I imagined. Kara was a doll, I changed my flavor a couple of times just to come back to the original flavor I picked :-) but she was very patient and understanding and the cake was DELICIOUS!!

    Thanks, Shaute, I loved making your cake because it was unique and I got to make gumpaste feathers! It got a lot of interest on my facebook page, too, people really liked it. https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=10151639546268671&set=pb.92855088670.-2207520000.1379966217.&type=3&theater

    Kara just finished two beautiful cakes for my wedding this weekend. The grooms cake was exactly what I asked for and my groom loved it! Kara made a chocolate cake with peanut butter icing that was delicious! The details on the cake were amazing! I was so impressed with the grooms cake and then I saw the wedding cake. The wedding cake was AMAZING! My guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the cake was and several people have called saying they wanted a picture of the cake! The cake also tasted wonderful! Several people have said it was the best wedding cake they have ever tasted. Not to mention, my mother and I normally don't like chocolate cake, but we loved Kara's.

    In addition, Kara was super easy to work with and so flexible! I really appreciated this as an out of town bride. I even gchatted with her to figure out the wedding cake before coming in for a tasting. I would recommend Kara to anyone who wants a cake that looks amazing and tastes delicious!

    Not only was our cake beautiful, it was delicious to boot! Kara was professional, easy to work with and she captured the design we wanted perfectly. The original photo we showed her was of a cake made with fondant but we went with buttercream instead since we prefer the taste (and hey, we're going to eat it, right?!) and Kara assured us that she would be able to achieve the same look even with the buttercream. I'm so glad we did! It tasted great and it looked as flawless as the fondant. She's a magic woman, I tell you! We had three flavors and each one was divine. I would highly recommend using Kara for all your cake needs!

    A Cake to Remember was amazing to work with. Kara did such a great job with the cake-- all of guests loved not only the design but also the taste!

    We had a hard time deciding on the design of the cake and were lucky to have Kara's expertise and years of experience to help us! We ended up with a unique design that had an door opening at the top of our cake to match our "home" theme. Our guests were wowed by the surprise door at the cake that opened to a heart.

    Kara was a pleasure to work with and we'd highly recommend her to anyone!

    A Cake To Remember LLC's reply:

    I have to say that your cake was one of my all-time favorites because of that little door and the springy flowers! You were a fun couple to work with, congratulations on your marriage and good luck in the future!

    I had a fairly unique experience planning my wedding in that I only gave myself about 6 weeks to do it. I heard through the grapevine that Kara made lovely & delicious cakes, so I emailed her and was delighted to hear that she was available. I never did a tasting or spoke to Kara live, but after swapping just a handful of emails that didn't much specific direction from me, she managed to far exceed my expectations by making a gorgeous cake that was incredibly good! I would highly recommend the almond cake & buttercream frosting! I'm not sure this 'flying blind' arrangement would work for a larger wedding (ours was <40 people) or a more particular bride, but it worked out really well for me. We couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out!

    Kara with A Cake To Remember was such a joy to work with. She instantly got our "vision" within minutes of our first meeting. Not only did she get our vision, but she was very excited to bake our cake. The flavors were great, and she can do anything with butter cream! She can even make butter cream look like fondtant. Our guests raved about our cake and we couldn't have been happier with our choice!

    When I first started planning my wedding, I thought I knew exactly what I wanted my cake to look like so I googled photos of cakes & saved the ones I liked. Then when I started looking for a vendor to work with I googled businesses in Richmond & found a couple of the photos I'd saved were from A Cake To Remember's website!

    When I met with Kara for a tasting, I knew that I didn't need to look any further. Not only is she an amazing artist, but her cakes are delicious! I've tasted lots of cakes at weddings, but I'm convinced none tasted as good as her chocolate cake! (I still can't believe she can make butter cream icing so smooth that it looks like fondant.)

    When it came to designing my cake I told Kara I wanted ostrich feathers to be incorporated but that she could just surprise me with the design. I described my color pallet, showed her pictures of my dress & listed the flowers used in my bouquet. What I saw on my wedding day was absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!

    I'm so glad that I let her use her creativity because my cake was one-of-a-kind! The gumpaste flowers were beautiful, the feathers were incorporated perfectly & it tasted amazing!

    Only one word describes working with Kara....FANTASTIC! Our cake was stunning (even better than the inspiration picture shared with her). It not only looked great but tasted great as well. My guest are still talking about our cake. Kara is very professional, very timely with her responses and her work definitely equals the value.

    Working with A Cake to Remember was such a great experience, and I cannot say enough good things to truly capture my experience. Kara, the owner, is beyond talented and only creates masterpieces. The cakes she makes are truly a form of art - and my cake was absolutely amazing, inside and out. Kara understood the design that I was looking for and all of my guest raved about how good it was. My wedding cake was absolutely beautiful and my favorite detail at my reception! I also loved that Kara was extremely responsive to all of my emails - she helped make the planning process easy and smooth. I highly recommend A Cake to Remember!

    We were so happy with our wedding cake from A Cake To Remember. It looked exactly like the picture of the cake we wanted ours to look like, and tasted amazing! The cake was very moist and flavorful, and the chocolate cake is definitely one of the best cakes I've ever tasted. We received many compliments on how delicious our cake was, and we can't wait to try the top layer on our first anniversary! We definitely recommend A Cake To Remember!
