Samantha Sent on 11/06/2023Carrie is amazing!!
Carrie is such a sweet lady. Working with her was so much fun! She's really reasonably priced - she could charge way more for her cakes, but she doesn't. She made the tasting process easy - shipped the flavors to us so we didn't have to drive all the way down to southern VA from Annapolis. We did two other cake tastings with other companies and hers was hands-down the best, AND most affordable. She sat down with me and helped me sort everything out, from flavors, to cake amount, to colors, and frosting vs, fondant. I designed the cake, and she recreated that design perfectly! Our cake was STUNNING. She also set up the cake flowers and toppers... -

Carrie is wonderful to work with - she took our ideas and came up with exactly what we were looking for. She was able to accommodate our need for gluten-free cupcakes as well, which was super helpful. Delicious cake! -

Emily Sent on 11/01/2022Stunning cakes with a wide variety of flavors, and outstanding service!
I got married October 1, 2022 and am so grateful that I was able to work with Carrie from Buttercream Dreams to create a beautiful and delicious cake for my day! Carrie was amazing to work with throughout the entire planning time and was responsive and open to my thoughts and questions. She was able to help combine several ideas I had found online into exactly what I was envisioning, and had SO many traditional and unique flavors to pick from. I was planning my wedding from out of state, and Carrie was even able to ship us some of her most popular cake options, with frosting, for us to do our tasting without having to drive all the... -

Andrea Sent on 10/28/2022A MUST!! Simply Fantastic.
Carrie was a literal dream to work with! She was super responsive, flexible, honest, organized, kind and overall fantastic. From our very first interaction with her to the very last crumb of our cake/cupcakes, Carrie made our wedding dreams come true! Our cake and cupcakes were absolutely beautiful, and they were hands down the most delicious we have eaten. It was one of the most complimented items from our wedding. We cannot wait to eat our frozen tier of our cake for our anniversary! Her assistant did a fantastic job setting up as well. As far as value for her services, she does not charge nearly enough in our opinion. We will be using Carrier again for other occasions and celebrations. -

THANK YOU SO MUCH CARRIE!!! Carrie made us a gorgeous lemon cake with strawberry filling and then 3 different types of cupcakes! Snickerdoodle, pink champagne, and dark chocolate mocha! The guests loved it and so did we. They were all so delicious! Not only that but the cake was beautiful, absolutely stunning. The whole dessert table was set up so nicely. Thank you so much!! -

I cannot believe how delicious the cupcakes and cake for our wedding were. They were by far the best cupcakes I have ever had and they are also gorgeously done to top it off. Carrie was a pleasure to work with and was attentive and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. I am so beyond pleased with my experience with her. -

Carrie was an absolute pleasure to work with and an amazingly talented baker. She baked us the most delicious and adorable wedding cake (which was styled like a birch tree - I will add photos when we get them!) and three different flavors of cupcakes for our wedding. We also decided we wanted to order pie from her, and she helped us troubleshoot and found another local baker to make my wedding pie dreams come true! All of our guests raved about the taste of everything - my dad is STILL talking about the almond wedding cake. She even came to our venue in the middle of Shenandoah National Park to deliver and set up our picture perfect wedding... -

Thank you for our incredible wedding cake, Buttercream Dreams, LLC!!!! Carrie was BEYOND a joy to work with from the initial phone call to our amazing tasting & guidance on creating the cake of your dreams within our budget & providing well beyond what we thought we could afford to her gorgeous attention to detail to our guests rave reviews, she were kind, fun to be around, informative & super-competent & did everything beyond perfectly! The tasting was FUN & generous! It was hard to choose, but we went with Chocolate with Mocha Icing, Lemon with Raspberry Cream Cheese Icing & Almond with Cherry Preserves. All of them were awesome! There are so many things that can go wrong...Buttercream Dreams's reply:
I am SO happy you were pleased, and I too enjoyed working with you both! Thank you for the amazing review, and wish you both so much happiness! Carrie -

We had Buttercream Dreams make a bride and groom cake for our wedding! It was so delicious and a beautiful cake! They were so easy and pleasant to work with and we're so happy to have the rest of our cake to eat next year on our anniversary! Highly recommend! -

Stephanie Sent on 05/19/2021I couldn't have asked for more!
Carrie is such a joy to work with and a true professional at what she does! She made every aspect of planning our cake a breeze and we are so glad we chose Buttercream Dreams! First of all, the tasting was so much fun! She prepared so many great flavors of cake and frosting for us to choose from. It was quite a hard decision because they were all so delicious! We chose a 3-tier cake with 2 flavors, and a separate anniversary cake that came already boxed up and ready to take home. Our guests loved it and most went back for seconds so they could have some of both flavors! I gave Carrie a couple pictures as... -

Cameron Sent on 11/30/2020Beautifully designed, amazing tasting cake of our dreams
Carrie did an amazing job on the cake, everyone kept commenting on how beautiful it was and how perfect it matched our theme! Carrie also went above and beyond to make sure we had an additional cake that fit my dietary needs, I am on a very strict anti-inflammatory diet, the cake tasted amazing! Everyone tells me that the main wedding cake was delicious. I definitely recommend going with Carrie for any of your wedding dessert needs! -

Joseph Sent on 10/20/2020Delicious Cake, Beautiful Design, Friendly Service!
Buttercream Dreams did a phenomenal job of bringing to life exactly what we were looking for in our wedding cake!
Carrie was so awesome to work with! She was prompt in communicating with us, friendly, professional, and truly an artistic baker. When we completed our tasting with Carrie we fell in love with the large array of flavors we got to choose from--each of them delicious and hard to choose final options.
The day of the wedding, Carrie arrived to put our cake together, add the floral swag, and bring to life our dream envisioning of our wedding cake.
We highly recommend Buttercream Dreams to anyone looking for artistic design, delicious cake, and a friendly and warm experience! -

Amanda Sent on 10/13/2019Delicious, beautiful desserts & the best to work with!
We were absolutely delighted to have Carrie and the Buttercream Dreams team provide cupcakes and a cutting cake for our wedding day! From the very beginning, Carrie showed her expertise and professionalism in helping us to figure out all of the details of planning our desserts, suggesting flavors and numbers that would work best for our guests. As the wedding day got closer, Carrie kept in close contact to ensure that every detail was ready to go. Carrie and her team were more than accommodating throughout the entire process, even going so far as to set up additional desserts from another vendor (mini pies from Family Ties and Pies) on our dessert display, and come back to pack up... -

Carrie is amazing to work with and has an amazing eye. We came to our appointment with ideas but nothing that could make a 5 layer cake come together, Carrie took our ideas and along with some suggestions she made our dream cake come to life! The flavors of her cake and buttercream are unreal!! We also wanted edible favors and Carrie delivered with some delicious cookies that people are still talking about! -

Kallie Sent on 11/06/2017We were a little late finding someone to do the cake for our wedding, but Carrie was amazing and managed to squeeze us in. Our cake and cupcakes were beautiful and absolutely delicious. It was some of the best cake I've ever had and the price was very reasonable for everything we got. Our guests only had good things to say and many people went back for a second cupcake. I'd highly recommend Buttercream Dreams to anyone! -

Heidi Sent on 06/23/2017Carrie was THE BEST baker EVER. Not only did everything look amazing, but it tasted amazing! Our guests literally asking if I had leftover the next morning because they couldn't stop thinking about the cupcakes!
She is the most professional vendor & our consultation couldn't have gone better. She did everything we wanted and more. There is not a single complaint. Carrie made our wedding cake dreams come true! -

Carrie is the Wedding Cake Queen!
As soon as we sat down with Carrie, we knew we'd be getting exactly what we wanted. She made us feel right at home while clearly showing she was a professional. All her flavors were delicious, we wish we could married every year just to eat her cakes.
She was flexible and willing to go above and beyond for us on our special day. The cake was absolutely gorgeous, and we cannot wait to unfreeze the rest. Thank you so much Carrie. You will hold a special place in our hearts forever! -

Absolutely Delicious!
We ordered our wedding cake, cupcakes, and a surprise birthday cake for my now husband through Buttercream Dreams and everything was perfect! Our tasting was by far, the most fun part of the entire wedding planning process and we had lots of favorite flavor combinations, it was difficult to narrow down choices but Carrie helped with that as well. We ended up going with a dark chocolate cutting cake with peanut butter buttercream frosting for our wedding cake, snickerdoodle cupcakes (which our guests devoured), dark chocolate cupcakes, and almond cupcakes with almond buttercream frosting. Everything was delicious and Carrie was so helpful with advice on the color of our cake (which was a rich, emerald green) and helping me... -

She went above and beyond!
Carrie was great to work with for our June 2022 wedding. She was very detail oriented and wanted to make sure all the colors matched our wedding scheme. She was able to make us a tasting box prior to choosing, and it was so hard to choose flavors because they were all amazing! She helped me figure out how many cupcakes I would need based on guest count and cake size. Her pricing is very fair and she is prompt and courteous! We cant wait to celebrate our one year anniversary with our saved top tier! -

Spectacular cake and service
On Memorial Day, May 30, 2022, my father-in-law turned 100. He is a World War II veteran and Pearl Harbor survivor. We had a very special birthday party for him and as such, we needed a very special cake. We are new to the area so I really had no idea where to start looking for a cake maker so I turned to the internet. I don't know if it was luck or divine provenance, but I was led to Carrie at Buttercream Dreams. I explained the event to her and how I wanted the cake decorated. I wanted his WW II medals included, as well as a cross because my father-in-law became a Presbyterian minister after the war.... -

People are still talking!
Carrie was wonderful to work with! Super fast with communication, the taste testing was superb, cake was light and so moist, and frosting was flavorful without being overpowering, simply outstanding! We got a two tiered cake for us and cupcakes for the guests, a “his flavor” “hers flavor” and “their’s flavor” to choose from, and our friends are still talking about how delicious they were! Can’t wait for our anniversary to come so we can have more cake!! We would 1000% recommend Buttercream Dreams to everyone! -
