Beautiful, delicious wedding cake
I was so happy with my cake- it was delicious and looked exactly like the photo I provided, down to scale. I can’t recommend Cakes by Karol enough, but I truly hope many other couples are lucky enough to hire them for their wedding!I was so happy with my cake- it was delicious and looked exactly like the photo I provided, down to scale.

Amazing cake!
Cakes by Karol did an amazing job on our wedding cake! We have dairy gluten and nut intolerances in our group of guests. The cake was just what I asked for! They were happy to use the topper and stand I provided for my look, and the cake was moist, delicious, very eye appealing, and flavorful! Even the gluten free layer!

Can’t recommend enough!
I recently got married in Marathon Florida and was recommended to Cakes By Karol for my wedding cake and I can’t express enough how happy I am that I was! My entire experience was just flawless. Karol herself got back to me so quickly and was such a pleasure to deal with. She is so sweet and was always extremely professional. She was very accommodating and willing to make all my wedding cake dreams come true and did! You can really tell how much she cares. I sent her a photo of the look I was going for and she absolutely nailed it! And of course the cake was delicious! Since I am Jersey and I was getting married in Florida I wasn’t able to walk in and do a cake tasting but Karol offers a cake sampling that she can ship right to you which was so convenient and much appreciated. Absolutely can’t recommend her enough you won’t be disappointed!I recently got married in Marathon Florida and was recommended to Cakes By Karol for my wedding cake and I can’t express enough how happy I am that I was!

Wonderful and Delicious Cake, Efficient Response Time!
I had such a wonderful experience with Karol, she made a Porsche themed cake for my husband as a "grooms cake" for him to have with the groomsmen before the wedding. It was such a nice touch. The cake itself was amazing, I wish we could have had more! Karol was great to work with, easy and quick to communicate with as well. I contacted her a little bit last minute, so I was very thankful she could work with me!

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

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!Our experience with Cakes by Karol was perfect. Communication was always clear and timely.

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!

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.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.

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!We used Cakes by Karol for our wedding cake on 12/3/2020.

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.Cakes by Karol made the cake for my daughter's wedding. It was the most beautiful and delicious cake I had ever had.

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!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.

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!Picking out a wedding cake from afar is difficult to do.

Wonderful from beginning to end!
This was a destination wedding for us so picking vendors was not super easy. We reached out to about 5 or 6 cake vendors receiving immediate responses from just a few. Karol was the MOST responsive and a delight to work with. We were able to make a quick trip before the wedding for a tasting and the presentation and options were wonderful. She was able to work with our budget still providing the look we wanted and our cake turned out exactly how we had visioned it. They tasted as good as it look too which isn't always the case! We plan on getting a mini cake from her when we go back for our anniversary.This was a destination wedding for us so picking vendors was not super easy.

Perfection!
Karol was super responsive and accommodating to us while we were in town over the holidays for our cake tasting. All the flavors are amazing- it was hard to choose. But we ultimately decided on a chocolate and peanut butter layer and a red velvet and cream cheese layer. Truly delicious- and not to mention that the cake was STUNNING! We received multiple compliments from guests about how tasty the wedding cake was. Highly recommend Cakes by Karol!!Karol was super responsive and accommodating to us while we were in town over the holidays for our cake tasting. All the flavors are amazing- it was hard to choose.

Karol made it easy and delicious
Cakes by Karol was a delight to work with for our 3/3/19 wedding at Fort Zachary Taylor. We picked out one of her many designs, and it was a key lime cake with raspberry filling and white fondant icing, and it was delicious. She was well priced, and the cake was beautiful. If you're getting married in Key West, we strongly recommend Cakes by Karol.Cakes by Karol was a delight to work with for our 3/3/19 wedding at Fort Zachary Taylor.

They helped us make the wedding cake of our dreams. We wanted a non-traditional cake and was able to find it with Cakes by Karol.
We wanted to surprise and shock everyone with our cake and both of us being huge Parrot heads...what a better expression of our love ....than a Cheeseburger in Paradise and that's what we had!!!
We had a cheeseburger cake along with french fries too!!!
The cake was DELICIOUS!!!!!!
