    Our wonderful wedding

    Without tasting a bite and trusting reviews online, we selected cakes by Karol for our wedding cake. They were amazing and phenomenal. The souther in red velvet was perfect with the addition of flowers from Milan. Thank you

    5 out of 5!

    Cakes by Karol was hands down amazing. She was super responsive and very quick to respond with any questions I had. Her creativity is mind blowing. I added 3 cake toppers of each of our pets and she very easily was able to accommodate the last minute change to add them. If we ever go back to key west for any event, she will be my go to cake lady. The flavoring and cake was just mouth watering too. People kept going back for more.

    Quality service and goods

    Karol was extremely pleasant to work with and brought our vision to life!! We did a 6 inch round with key lime & strawberry shortcake shooter tower below. Everyone was obsessed including us! It was gorgeous and delicious! Highly recommend.

    5 Star Service

    Karol was very helpful throughout my cake process. Since living afar, I purchased the tasting kit. We were very impressed with all the options and they were nicely packaged.

    I ended up changing a few things to the cake and made an addition. She was very helpful in all interactions.

    Our cake was absolutely delicious. Our guests were raving about it.

    We have frozen our cake top and can’t wait to eat more at our 1st Anniversary.

    Thank you Karol for making our day extra special!

    Cakes by Karol was great!

    Not only was our cake beautiful, it was also delicious! The execution of my design was perfect and the taste of the cake was superb! Emailing with the company was very easy and I appreciated their fast replies. We ordered the chocolate cake w ganache filling and buttercream icing. There were no leftovers!

    I don’t think any bride has ever received as many compliments on a wedding cake as I did on mine!

    I don’t think any bride has ever received as many compliments on a wedding cake as I did on mine! The cake was not only gorgeous, but it was absolutely delicious! If you’re on the fence about having an actual wedding cake, order yours from Cakes by Karol RIGHT NOW!! My husband and I just celebrated our first anniversary so we thawed the top layer of the cake that we saved, and even a year later, it was delicious! My husband said, ‘This tastes better than fresh cakes I’ve had!’ Seriously, we had so many people compliment the cake, and unlike most weddings, it was all eaten by the end of the night!

    Perfect Experience!

    Our experience with Cakes by Karol was perfect. Communication was always clear and timely. She delivered on time, and it was even better than expected. We had beautiful cupcakes stands that looked just like the picture I sent. And they tasted even better!

    Delicious and gorgeous wedding cake

    Planning a destination wedding in 3 months was stressful. Cakes by Karol made the wedding cake process fun! We ordered the cake tasting kit to be delivered to us in NYC. My now husband and I loved getting to try the different combinations of cakes, icing, and filling. We decided on the key lime cake, raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream. So good!! The wedding cake itself was gorgeous and exactly what I envisioned. We were able to pick from several cake stands and really loved the one we picked. Highly recommend! Thank you!

    Perfect cake for an intimate wedding

    For our guests peace of mind we postponed our guest-attended wedding to the end of the year and decided that just the two of us would get married in Key West. Cakes by Karol made us the perfect wedding cake and we personalized with our own toppers. They kindly delivered the cake to our hotel and ensured the staff stored it properly for us. The detail on the cake was extraordinary and the cake was flavorful, moist and delicious. Although it was just us, the cake really made it a very special day!

    Just what we ordered

    We found the company online after another cake company in Key West was disappointing in handling my daughter’s wedding. We are not from the area, We did tasting through mailing and very happy with cakes.
    We had a cake for rehearsal dinner too.

    I love you, I know... and other conversations I've had with our cake.

    The vendor who received the most compliments at our wedding was a tie between the DJ (who you could only enjoy if you were there) and our cake baker/designer extraordinaire! My now-husband wanted to cut costs by not getting a cake. Specifically he told me, "no one ever remembers a cake." The cake was a non-negotiable for me. I live for good food, especially desserts. So, in my search of a cake design to spite my future husband, I located some inspiration on the internet and reached out to Cakes by Karol. And they clearly made it happen! My husband loves Star Wars (the Lego Death Star is our dining room centerpiece) and he absolutely adored, and will always remember, this cake. We were doubly-excited when it tasted as good as it looked! Thanks Cakes by Karol! You guys are the BEST!

    Thank you so much Caitlin for choosing us to make your special cake, I'm glad your cake will be remembered for years to come, we love making non traditional cakes.

    Exactly what we had in mind!

    Contracting Cakes by Karol was the easiest part of planning our wedding. The reviews we read spoke for themselves and we were hooked after receiving our cake and frosting samples. Our wedding cake turned out exactly how we imagined and we were thrilled to have such a variety of flavors with each tier. We can't wait to have our top cake (Key Lime) for our one year anniversary!

    5 Stars Wedding Cake

    We used Cakes by Karol for our wedding cake on 12/3/2020. Cakes by Karol was very easy to work with & professional. Communication was great - quick response to all emails and answered all of my questions. We did a cake tasting prior to ordering our cake and all the cake options we tried were delicious. We went with three different flavors for our wedding cake and our guests loved all three. The design of the cake was exactly as requested. We couldn’t be happier with how the cake turned out - it was beautiful & perfect for us. We highly recommended Cakes by Karol!

    The Best cake you could wish for.

    Cakes by Karol made the cake for my daughter's wedding. It was the most beautiful and delicious cake I had ever had. Karol replys to every request immediately, and has a huge array of beautiful cakes. She decorates like an artist, and can very quickly interpret exactly what you want. She does almost any flavor you want, and everything tastes heavenly. The whole cake was eaten before the end of the night, and we had a lovely dessert table, but everyone wanted the cake. You will get the best cake you've ever eaten with Karol.

    Custom Cake was Perfect!

    The cake was amazing, and Karol was very responsive to our needs and wants. She made multiple sketches as we had a very difficult custom cake. I have seen multiple cakes she has made for other events, and they were all amazing to look at and great to eat. Thank you for making our day perfect!!

    Delicious cakes!!

    We booked from NJ, and ordered a cake sampling box to be mailed to us. It only took trying the first sample to know that Cakes by Karol was going to be our choice. There actually wasn’t anything we didn’t like! We ended up getting a cupcake tower with a small cake on top. The cupcakes were mixed in with tiny key lime pies and chocolate covered strawberries. Everything was amazing, and I am very picky about my cakes. She was able to take the information we gave her about our wedding, has us drop off our cake topper a couple days ahead of time, and made it into something wonderful. Definitely recommend!

    Delicious cakes and great designs

    Picking out a wedding cake from afar is difficult to do. However, Cakes by Karol made it so much easier. They have so many designs and flavors and they will work with you to create whatever your vision is. They were also very reasonably priced. They offer cake tastings that can be sent to you. The final product was not only exactly what I wanted, it was so good! Everyone loved the cake and it was all gone by the end of the night!

    Wedding Cake with Amazing Design and Exceptional Taste

    I had been looking for someone to do a wedding cake for my beat friends daughter wedding. Since this was a destination wedding it’s hard to select the right vendors for each job. When I looked at the reviews and Cakes by Karol’s website I was confident I had found the right person. The cake was beautiful and I received so many compliments on how exceptional the Key lime cake with lemon filling and vanilla icing! It was By far the best wedding cake I have ever had. Hiring Karol for your wedding or next occasion by far will
    Be one of the best choices you will make. Thank you Karol for everything! It was just amazing! Yum Yum Yum!!!!
