    Cake that was both beautiful and delicious!

    Courtney delivered on both the appearance and taste of the cake! It was exactly what I had pictured for our wedding day and tasted even better than I could have imagined! I highly recommend Brown Sugar Custom Cakes for your next event!

    Perfect cake and mini-cupcakes! Everyone loved dessert!

    We had Courtney make a small cut cake and two flavors of mini-cupcakes for our wedding and the results were amazing! She made beautiful and delicious desserts that got rave reviews from all our guests. Would highly recommend!

    Perfect Wedding Cake

    My wife and I thoroughly thank you Brown Sugar Custom Cakes for the amazing, literally amazing, cake prepared for our wedding. The wedding party was so busy with day-of planning and with the ceremony, that it was very, very nice to see the cake magically appear, cake topper and all, for the reception. We appreciated Brown Sugar Custom Cakes for their professionalism, punctuality, and... SKILL! Holy cow, that cake tasted good! We have members of the wedding wanting to go back for an event in that area just to order from their bakery again! To C, thank you again for making our wedding memorable.

    Amazing work

    She made our cake dreams come true. She even went out of her way to deliver the cake to us. Would definitely recommend and use for other events.

    Great!!!!!

    Because I was having a destination wedding, I had to communicate mostly through email. I also had to rely on my parents who lived locally to assist. Courtney couldn't have been nicer to communicate with and was great to my parents when they met up with her for a tasting. And let's get to the cakes - they were delicious! I had a small cutting cake but had mini-cupcakes for desserts for everyone else. They were the best! We received compliments on all but the key lime was a favorite! I also had a small GF cake for my GF allergy family and my uncle had 3 pieces - said was the best GF cake he's had! Thank you, Courtney!

    Wonderful!!

    Courtney was amazing to work with. She is super talented and I love that she does the baking at her home. The cake was absolutely amazing! It tasted wonderful and incorporated our them well. I would highly recommend her for any event needing cake. My husband and I will definitely be using her cake services again!

    Courtney was so amazing to work with! From hosting a tasting session to find the right flavor and icing to adjust our final order only a few days out due to a guest count increase, she went above and beyond for the perfect cake for our special day! My family and I happily enjoyed it for days following the wedding, and can't wait to dig into the top layer one year later when we celebrate our anniversary. I would highly recommend Courtney to any couple looking for a delicious and beautiful cake for their wedding.

    THANK YOU, Courtney!

    Courtney created the perfect wedding cake for us! During our taste testing, my husband and I loved everything we sampled! We couldn't decide which was our favorite, so Courtney made each layer a different flavor. It was absolutely delicious!

    We used Brown Sugar for our wedding on 8/19 and courtney did not disappoint! We are not from the area and we were unable to do a tasting, so we had no clue how our cupcakes would taste. Everyone from our wedding was raving about them and how delicious they were! We got the Oreo, peanut butter, and key lime and they were delicious. Every single one was ate and not one went to waste (we even made sure we ordered plenty extra). The presentation was perfect and service was great. Couldn't have asked for better Cupcakes! Thanks! My only regret was not saving our small cake! (We didn't get to eat much)!

    Courtney is awesome! The cake was literally the most delicious cake I had ever tasted. My only regret is not being able to eat even more of it! :D She's super responsive to emails, and that white chocolate pound cake/salted caramel buttercream combo is to die for!

    Beautiful cake! I ordered a two tier cake and small cupcakes in mason jars and they turned out beautifully. I showed her photos of what I wanted off Pinterest and everything was just perfect. I went to the tasting, which there was a fee, but if you book her that money is placed towards your balance. It is essentially free because you should use her! :)

    We planned our wedding from out-of town. Courtney was very accommodating when trying to fit us in for a cake tasting, as we only visited Beaufort once time prior to the wedding. We didn't really know what we wanted the cake to look like at the time of the tasting. Courtney did an amazing job at making suggestions and helping us to create the perfect cake. The cake was delivered on time and the appearance was exactly as we had discussed. The cake was also to die for! 5 stars all around. Great vendor!

    I loved the variety that Brown Sugar offered us. Courtney is so incredibly talented and she really worked with us to make our desserts special. We had a two tiered cake plus tons of mini mason jar "cupcakes." Everything was absolutely decadent. The bacon maple was so out of this world. I wanted to eat all of them just by myself. All of my guests were so impressed by the beauty and uniqueness of the cakes as well.

    So happy we went with Brown Sugar Custom Cakes for our wedding. From start to finish we enjoyed our cake tasting and even had difficulty picking which flavor we liked most. We opted to do alternating layers of chocolate and vanilla cake with salted caramel filling and buttercream frosting. I remember cutting into our cake on the wedding day and the first taste of the buttercream was amazing! Also a true statement to the quality of work was that when we mentioned who was proving our cake and the other vendor's provided rave reviews for Brown Sugar Custom Cakes. We will be ordering an anniversary cake next year so we can enjoy a fresh cake on our first anniversary!

    We booked Brown Sugar at the last minute, after our original vendor fell through. Courtney was incredibly responsive & flexible. Don't know what we would have done without her!

    Courtney at Brown Sugar Custom Cakes came highly recommended! Every vendor we visited (florist, wedding planner, reception venue) raved about her cakes, so we just had to try her out! Because we had already booked our wedding cake vendor, we decided to contract her services for the Groom’s cake for the rehearsal dinner. My husband is a Michael Jackson fanatic, so it was only fitting that his cake be done in true MJ style. After talking with Courtney and communicating this vision, she outdid herself! She exceeded expectations by constructing the cake in the shape of Michael Jackson’s jacket from his Thriller video and hat and glove from the Smooth Criminal video. It was AMAZING!!!! The cake was delicious. We still had the hat when we returned home from the wedding. I expected the hat to be made out of fondant which I’m typically not a huge fan. All I know is that when I bit into that delicious goodness (the hat), I was pleasantly surprised to learn that underneath the frosting/fondant (whatever the beautiful creation that hat was made from) was a rice krispy treat. I was like a little kid in a candy store. Courtney was great, her creation was unmatched, and I’m happy that she’s states away so that I don’t have the opportunity to eat her wonderful treats on a regular basis! As a side note, she was also very professional, easy to work with, and always returned phone calls and emails swiftly. Definitely will use her services again when I return to Beaufort!

    Brown Sugar Custom Cakes's reply:

    Your review is just too sweet! I was so glad to do the groom's cake for you, and glad you enjoyed everything!

    Delicious!! They made the best cake and cupcakes ever! We didn't even save the top of our cake for next year...we indulged after the wedding haha. The quality was definitely there and they were very helpful with making sure we had everything we needed for a beautiful display.

    Brown Sugar Custom Cakes was great for my beach wedding! She designed my cake topper with ideas on how to theme it with my colors, and the mini cupcakes we had were a huge hit with our guests! The cake was so good, we ate it after our honeymoon, couldn't wait for the one year mark! Brown Sugar delivered right to my venue and had everything set up beautifully for my reception. Definitely recommend!

    Courtney's cakes speak for themselves -- we had trouble picking because we enjoyed all that we tasted! Our only complaint is that everyone at the wedding enjoyed the cake so much that we didn't have much left to enjoy after the wedding! We wished we had ordered a bigger cake!
