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! -

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. -

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. -

Alison H. Sent on 12/15/2019DELICIOUS 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!! -

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.Cakes by Carissa's reply:

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 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! -

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! -

Alexia Sent on 03/29/2019BEST 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! -
Heaven Sent on 09/10/2018Carissa 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. :) -

Stephanie Sent on 09/17/2018Carissa 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!!

Meaghan Sent on 05/09/2018Carissa 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.

Kate Sent on 04/25/2018Carissa 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!Cakes by Carissa's reply:
Thanks so much for the sweet words Kate! I appreciate your business and loved being apart of your special day!
Thanks again! : ) -
