    Don't think twice about hiring Carissa!! Best cake and experience ever

    Carissa was one of our favorite wedding vendors to work with. She is incredibly talented, kind, professional, and responsive -- and she bakes the most amazing cakes! She truly is an artist and takes pride in her work, evidenced by our wonderful experience with her making our custom wedding cake.

    We had been to plenty of weddings where the cake/dessert looked much better than it tasted, so we wanted to ensure our cake looked AND tasted divine. My sister used Carissa for her own wedding cake and I remembered how delicious it was, so after we had an initial cake tasting with her, we knew we didn't want to work with anyone else! After sharing a few inspiration pictures and talking through our vision, she worked with us to create a plan that best fit our needs.

    Throughout the entire process, Carissa was very professional and prompt to respond to all our questions which gave us one less thing to stress about in the sea of wedding planning madness. She carefully delivered the cake herself on wedding day, completed all set up and break down, and even added the finishing touches with our topper and fresh florals/greenery to completely bring our vision to life. Carissa executed on the design perfectly and created a masterpiece for us that looked amazing and tasted even better. I'm so glad there were a few pieces left at the end of the night that we got to take home and enjoy for a few more days! We plan to hire Carissa for all our future custom bakery needs!

    Delicious & Beautiful Creations from Cakes by Carissa

    Carissa is an artist who also has been blessed with an incredible baking talent! She was so pleasant to work with: very communicative, prompt with follow ups, and ultimately, her cakes were masterpieces both visually and for our guests' tastebuds. Walking away from our tasting, we had a clear plan built out for both our wedding cake and groom's cake. She delivered flawlessly on both.

    Best Wedding Cake Ever!

    I decided to sample Carissa’s cakes after seeing her great reviews on here. They were not wrong. Best white wedding cake ever. It was moist until many white cakes. The other flavors are delicious as well. Will be using her for other special occasion cakes in the future.

    Absolutely amazing!

    She was amazing! She helped us figure out how we wanted to decorate our cakes and then she added her own personalization that fitted us and our relationship.

    Carissa is so sweet! Her cake flavors taste absolutely delicious. She took a picture of a cake and made it even more beautiful in real life! I look forward to using her for future events.

    DELICIOUS cakes that your guests will actually eat!

    We’ve all been to plenty of weddings where the cake may look beautiful, but you take a bite and it’s dry and flavorless... That is the exact OPPOSITE of our wedding cake designed by Carissa! Not only was our 3-tier cake gorgeous, but it was so delicious that people were going back for seconds! We received so many compliments from our guests even after the wedding. It was super moist and tasty, and stayed that way even 2 weeks post-wedding while we picked at the scraps! Carissa is so talented, sweet and easygoing, and offers so many options for designing your perfect cake. We highly recommend her! Suggestion: try her banana cake with cream cheese frosting!!

    Beyond Amazing

    Carissa was professional and so easy to work with! Our cake was three tier with chocolate, pumpkin and strawberry layers. It was delicious!!! Everyone was commenting on how good the cake was.

    Carissa decorated it with silk flowers. It was simple yet beautiful! It was perfect in all ways❤️

    OUT OF THIS WORLD service and cake!

    Carissa did our wedding cake and she truly outdid herself. My guests were raving about it (and still do to this day). It was seriously one of the most delicious cakes I’ve ever had, we ate leftovers for probably longer than we should’ve because it was still so good lol! When we met with Carissa for our tasting I didn’t really have huge expectations because I work in the wedding industry and have tasted MANY wedding cakes. So I just kinda expected a typical wedding cake, but NO… When we tasted our little trial cake pieces me and my then fiancé looked at each other like are you serious. That sounds dumb because its just cake, but I’m so serious, it was the best cake we’ve ever had. It was so good that my plain self had went from insisting on just the typical wedding cake flavor do also doing half strawberry, it was amazing! But not only was the flavor out of this world, she took my group of 5 images that I liked certain things from each and made this beautiful sketch that was like she could read my mind. It was perfect, but never did I ever imagine how amazingly perfect it would really be. She delivered our cake early so our photographers could capture it in plenty of time and was so flexible and kind throughout the process. She even let me send her a swatch of my bridesmaid dresses so the blue drip would be spot on and IT WAS!! I can’t recommend her enough, let her do all of your cakes, I know she’ll forever do mine!

    Carissa was great to work with!

    Carissa did a great job on our cake and was great to work with. She catered to our small wedding and delivered us the cake at a time that worked best for us. The cake tasted great, I highly recommend the carrot cake! Check out her Instagram too!!! I will definitely use her again in the future.

    BEST cake ever!

    WOW! 30 characters is not enough to cover how phenomenal Carissa is! Not only is she so kind and flexible, but she brought our dream wedding cake to life! It was by far the best cake I have ever tasted and still a week later its absolutely delicious! It was the most beautiful cake I have ever seen, so perfectly stacked and decorated, and I've seen 100+ cakes since I'm a wedding photographer! Do yourself a favor and choose Carissa for your wedding cake needs, you'll thank me later!

    Carissa was incredible to work with! She is so professional and down to earth...just lovely!

    We knew as soon as we met for the tasting we were going to use Cakes by Carissa! Her cakes are delicious and we couldn’t have been happier! We had a 2 tier semi naked cake with mini cupcakes in assorted flavors! Red velvet with cream cheese was a personal favorite!

    100% recommend

    We learned about Carissa from a friend's wedding. We are so glad we did, because Carissa is amazing. Her cakes were so fresh, she was quick to respond to emails, and she made the cakes look exactly how we envisioned. The wedding cake was white cake with raspberry and cream cheese fillings. The groom's cake was a tiered cookie cake (!!!) with incredible frosting.

    Strawberry and banana dreams

    Carissa really outdid herself by creating a DELICIOUS strawberry and banana cake for my wedding this past October. Her cakes are not only gorgeous but they taste amazing! So light and fluffy but packed with flavor! Thank you Carissa!

    Just perfect

    My husband(!) and I were just married this past weekend and we were thrilled to have Carissa make the cake for our wedding. It was perfect and even better than I had envisioned! Carissa is truly fantastic. She was so easy to work with the whole way through. She flexibly managed our cake tasting to accommodate us, quickly and perfectly understood our vision for the day, made the logistics of payment super easy, and most importantly created a GORGEOUS and DELICIOUS cake for us and our loved ones. 10 out of 10 would do again!

    Carissa was amazing. We met with her for our tasting and loved the flavors we tasted. However we did one additional tasting with a much larger company and fell in love with one of their specialty cake flavors. Being small business owners ourselves, we really wanted to use Carissa's services if we could, so we asked her if she was willing to step outside her comfort zone and make us a cake with the flavor we had loved. To our excitement she was more than happy to do some experimenting for us and when the day came, the cake was absolutely delicious! EVERYONE RAVED ABOUT OUR CAKE ALL NIGHT. Our other vendors all even asked us for her contact info because they loved the cake so much and wanted to recommend her when they have opportunities. Carissa knocked the design of our cake out of the park as well. We will absolutely be asking Carissa to make us a cake sometime in the future when we have an anniversary celebration!!

    Carissa was AWESOME. She was so kind and accommodating, had no problems creating the vision my husband and I had for our cake, and to top it all off, everything was DELICIOUS. All our guests raved about it, from how unique and beautiful the design was, to how fantastic and tasty the cake itself was - we had to fight them off to take the remainder home!
    Additionally, Carissa was very sweet and professional, and I will always recommend her to anyone who needs a cake for anything in that area. She had no problem doing everything by email, as my husband and I live in FL and she operates in the North GA/ATL area, and she was very easy to keep in contact with. :)

    Carissa is a true joy to work with! My husband and I enjoyed every bit of our experience with her. The cake tasting was so fun (and obviously delicious!) She designs your cakes, and makes the process so easy on the bride and groom. Our cakes were better than we could have imagined on the day of! They were gorgeous, and tasted amazing. Our guests are still talking about our cakes, and we are so glad that we chose for Carissa to make our cakes! We will be using her again in the future!!!!

    Carissa was amazing to work with! My fiancé and I wanted something unique--a tiered cookie cake wedding cake. We contacted several bakers and they immediately said "No way!" Not Carissa! She said yes, and she had made one before, so we felt confident in her abilities! Our cake was stunning and delicious. We are still getting compliments. I would highly recommend Carissa for your wedding cake.

    Carissa made our cake for our intimate lakeside wedding. Working with Carissa was a joy! She was super easy to communicate with and set up meeting times that were conducive to our crazy schedules. Not only is she professional, her talent shines through. Our cake was delicious- everyone complimented us on it (like we actually made it haha). I couldn't get enough of the buttercream and the strawberry cake was perfection. It was been difficult to save the top layer for our anniversary- we want to eat it now!

    Carissa and her cakes were absolutely wonderful! When we initially met with Carissa she had samples of two different kinds of cake of our choice. I showed her a couple pictures on pinterest that I found and she made it happen. Carissa was very responsive to all of our questions, and her pricing on her cakes was reasonable too. I would highly recommend Cakes by Carissa to anyone!

    P.S. Her strawberry cake with vanilla filling is to die for!

    I don't think I have enough amazing things to say but wow! Carissa was just so unbelievably amazing and accommodating at every turn. She was able to take my exact vision and gave me exactly what I wanted for our wedding cake! Not just that but the cake and the cupcakes we ordered were THE most delicious I've ever eaten. Hire for your wedding or any other event, I promise you will not regret it!

    Thanks for everything, Carissa!

    My husband and I had a consultation with Carissa to create our wedding cake. She was a pleasure to work with, and she made the wedding cake process easy while capturing our vision perfectly! When I saw the cake the day of our wedding, I was amazed because it was even more beautiful than I imagined & delicious, too! All of my guests were raving about the red velvet! Thank you so much Carissa, you are wonderful at what you do!

    I was so impressed by Carissa! I was pretty determined to have a cookie wedding cake for our special day. We originally were going with another baker, but after the first baker told me a cookie cake was a bad idea we quickly hunted for another and stumbled across Carissa. We were not disappointed by our 16 layer cookie cake with butter cream icing! It was beautiful and delicious! Thank you!

    Loved using Cakes by Carissa! The entire experience was stress free, and the cake was delicious! Our wedding was April 8th, 2017. Carissa was a joy to work with, and I would definitely hire her again in the future. Fabulous experience.

    Carissa is very talented! I had a small vision of what I had in mind; I gave her a little insight along with materials and she ran with it! I am still receiving so many compliments on the flavor/taste. I would use her again for a variety of occasions!

    Cakes By Carissa provided the wedding cake for my daughter's wedding. The cake was delicious! Carissa was wonderful to work with. She met with us early on and provided several samples for us to taste. She was very flexible as we changed the size of the cake a couple of times. Carissa will provide you a delicious cake and wonderful service. I highly recommend Cakes By Carissa.

    Carissa was amazing, and the cake....there almost aren't words to describe how perfect it was, but I will give it a shot. Visually, our cake was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we wanted (better, in fact, than I could've imagined). And the taste was unreal. Everyone loved it, and I am just so glad that we found and hired Carissa! She is so kind, patient, and exceptionally talented. I would've happily paid much more for the gorgeous, delicious cake she created for us, and I really cannot say enough good things about her.

    Absolutely LOVED our wedding and grooms cake from Carissa! Months before my husband and I even got engaged, I was dreaming of having her make our wedding cake. They were beautiful AND delicious! Our guests were obsessed and many said it was the best wedding cake they had ever tasted. In addition to the phenomenal cakes, she is so nice and professional. I can't wait to get more cakes from Carissa!

    Carissa has amazing customer service and her cakes are the most delicious cakes I have every tasted. She is so nice and was very attentive with my bridal needs. All of our guest were amazed with the unique design of the cake and the taste. I plan on using her for future events of mine. Love it all!!

She did the exact design I sent her with no questions asked. She significantly exceeded every expectation I had! I cannot thank Carissa enough. I will forever order all of my cakes from her and will recommend her to all my family and friends. THANK YOU CARISSA!

    Carissa helped me out when my originally cake vendor canceled three weeks before my reception! She created a custom blush rosette cake that was stunning on the outside and delicious on the inside. I got her white, red velvet, and pumpkin flavored cakes and each one was more and more delicious. I had a bunch of "cake lovers/snobs" at my reception and I am STILL hearing from them about how amazing it was, three weeks later. Don't use anyone else!

    Carissa did an amazing job and is highly recommended. She was able to meet me somewhere near my home and was very flexible. We choose to do red velvet, pumpkin spice, and chocolate cake and mini strawberry cupcakes. The cake was amazing! Everyone at the wedding enjoyed it and they loved how beautiful our semi-naked cake looked. Carissa is able to offer stands to use, or she allows you to bring your own and she will set it up. We had an overall great experience and I look forward to using Cakes by Carissa sometime in the near future.

    Carissa made the planning process straight forward and easy. I told Carissa what I wanted and the budget I was looking to stay in. She helped me figure out a beautiful design and delicious flavors for the amount of people I was serving, all within my budget (which was small). The cake not only turned out gorgeous, but was also incredibly tasty!

    The cake was beautiful, delicious, and she was on time and professional! She was very transparent about the pricing and made it easy for us to have the type of cake that we wanted. She has many flavors to choose from and can make any cake that you want. We simply showed her a few samples of what we wanted and described further, and she made it a reality!

    Carissa makes the most delicious cakes! We had 2 cakes. A lemon cake with fresh raspberry and cream cheese icing, it was absolutely amazing. My husband loves German chocolate cake so Carissa made him just that! Everyone at our wedding raved about how good the cake was. Good thing they wrapped the top for us to take home because it went fast!

    My experience with Cakes by Carissa was nothing but positive. The cake was absolutely DELICIOUS. My only complaint was that I didn't get to sit down and enjoy a piece ;) It was beautiful and she was so patient with us as we tried to explain what we were wanting. The sampling process was a breeze too and she made it convenient to meet up as we had difficult schedules to plan around. Overall a great and tasty experience!

    Carissa bakes absolutely delicious cakes and is such a sweet person! We had the hardest time during our tasting because all of the cake flavors were so good! When selecting the style of our cake, Carissa saved the day (my husband and I like the simplicity and elegance of naked cakes but also love icing) by suggesting we go with a "semi-naked" cake to achieve the look we wanted but maximize the amount of frosting per bite. She helped again with narrowing down/selecting cake flavors by coming up with a creative way to continue the family style service of our meal during the reception. She suggested we pick two additional flavors that would be served in pre-cut bite size pieces on trays, and that she would come to cut the “semi-naked” cake into bite size pieces herself to make sure the presentation was uniform. The three-tiered "semi-naked" cake was pumpkin with cream cheese icing, and the other "cake bites" we served were vanilla cake with chocolate icing and red velvet with cream cheese icing. Everything turned out perfectly (the “semi-naked” cake was just darling!) and our guests gushed over how good all the cake flavors were! I can't recommend Carissa enough both as a great and professional vendor you want on your "wedding team" and for her delicious cakes!

    Marlene and I attended a "melt in your mouth" cake tasting provided by Carissa. It was then that we decided to go with Carissa. She came through with flying colors delivering a much better than expected masterpiece of a wedding cake! There were numerous compliments on the taste and appearance of the cake by our families. This was one of those cakes that you simply had to quit eating but did not want to quit.

    Cakes by Carissa are outstanding! I cannot give enough positive feedback about my experience and HIGHLY recommend her. We had a cake tasting a few months before the vent and her cakes/cupcakes are to die for!! She did a 3 tier wedding cake with monogram, cupcakes, and an awesome groom's cake. I mixed some pictures together online for my design of the wedding cake and it was exactly what I wanted. I gave her a rough idea for the groom's cake and let her finish the final design in what she thought looked best and it turned out fantastic as well. It was a surprise for my husband and he loved it. Everyone at the wedding raved about wonderful everything tasted! The lemon with raspberry filling we by far our favorite flavors (even my husband and I was shocked), but the chocolate cake is definitely the best I have ever had.

    Carissa was also prompt in responses and so easy to work with. She is genuinely kind and made this one less stressful thing I had to deal with. Delivery and setup were smooth too. There truly isn't one thing that could have been done differently to make this experience better. Thank you SO much Carissa! I can't wait to have you make something else in the future!

    Being in the wedding industry, you remember the first time you meet a fellow wedding vendor. In this case, I remember the first time I tasted a Cakes by Carissa cupcake. First impression - her buttercream frosting was to die for! I've tasted almost every flavor of her cakes and while they were all delicious, my husband and I wanted to do something a little different - mixing up a traditional flavor (lemon cake with a raspberry filling) with something unique (funfetti cake with a colored frosting). Carissa was so accommodating with our out of the box ideas and made us a wedding cake that was both beautiful and delicious! You know you've found an awesome wedding vendor when brides AND wedding professionals rave over them. This is truly the case with Carissa. I wouldn't have trusted or wanted anyone else but Cakes by Carissa for our wedding!

    Carissa was so easy and flexible to work with. I had to have my cake and cupcakes picked up and delivered to south Ga. For the wedding and she agreed to meet wherever whenever. They arrived in perfect condition.
    They were beautiful and tasted unbelievable. Far exceeded my expectation even after the taste test.
    We had cupcake (red velvet and coconut) along with the cake and saved some cupcakes to eat for breakfast on our honeymoon.
    Thank you Carissa for making our day so tasteful!

    Amazing cake and cupcakes!!! We had a 2 tier cake with chocolate on the bottom and strawberry on top, both layers with buttercream icing. Then carrot cake(cream cheese icing), red velvet(cream cheese icing), and strawberry(buttercream icing) cupcakes!! We were very pleased and impressed with the presentation and taste! Carissa is also very personable and professional! I would highly recommend her for any event you need cakes or cupcakes for!

    Carissa did such a wonderful job on our wedding cake, and provided exactly what we asked! It tasted wonderful and I received so many compliments for it from the wedding guests! She was also so friendly and quick to respond to my emails! I wish we lived in her area because we would use her bakery for every future event! :) thank you Carissa for adding your special touch to make our wedding day perfect!

    Our wedding cake carrisa made a hand crafted flower set that were the perfect touch to our cake. She also made an amazing grooms cake!!! It was a custom acoustic guitar with my husbands favorite college football team in the center. Her attention to detail with the guitar was flawless. To the wood grain, to the strings, to the neck of the guitar was perfect!! She listened to what I had imaged in my head and she created it. I will use her over again in the future!

    Carissa bakes some amazing cakes! We had a 3 tier wedding cake- decadent chocolate and red velvet with buttercream frosting! It was so delicious and everyone loved the cake! We also had vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting, which went just as fast as the cake! Carissa did a great job decorating our cake! I sent her a few pictures with elements of each that I liked and she wonderfully crafted each of those elements into our wedding cake! We highly recommend her!

    Carissa is wonderful. She is creative and knew how to make my vision into a reality. The cake was delicious and moist. I was always able to get in touch with her every time I wanted to add something, which was a lot! She had everything done on time and you can pick up directly from her or have it delivered. I can't wait to use her for my next event. Truly a wonderful experience. I am so glad I found her!

    Carissa made a replica look alike cake for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. It was beautiful and oh..... soooooo yummy. Carissa was easy to work with, honest and everything was as promised. I highly recommend her cakes!
