    Best wedding cake!

    Karen was great to work with! We are very happy we chose to order our wedding cake from her. Our wedding cake was delicious, and we received many compliments on both the actual wedding cake, and the other smaller deserts we ordered through her. She was also kind and accommodating during our tasting, and was able to provide helpful advice on arranging dessert for a large wedding.

    Cake from Karen Rodkey Cakes is fantastic! We highly recommend the tiramisu toffee flavor.

    Sophisticated and Delicious!

    Karen made us the most beautiful and delicious cake for our wedding! It looked so stunning we were sad when we had to cut it. We cannot wait to get another cake from her.

    Outstanding cakes!

    We originally weren’t going to have a wedding cake but ended up trying Karen’s cake at a bridal convention. It was so good we ended up purchasing a bridal shower cake, wedding cake and grooms cake! As delicious as they are beautiful!!

    The best cake I’ve ever had in my life!

    I’m not a big cake fan honestly.. When me and my now husband taste tested her cakes I tried the spice one and OMG I’m not lying when I tell you it’s literally the most amazing cake ever… the cake is super moist and the buttercream melts in your mouth. I got so many compliments by everyone and I ate it for days after our wedding day 🤭 I promise you that you will not be disappointed… Not only did it taste great but it looked beautiful as well! Thank you so much Karen 🥰

    Best wedding cake I've ever eaten

    Our 3-tier wedding cake was absolutely fantastic, and so was our overall experience with Karen. She has an adorable cake shop built out of her house where you can see tons of decor examples to choose from when you go for your tasting... she really can do anything and is a true artist!

    On our wedding day, the cake was delivered promptly on time to the venue and in perfect condition. And not only was the cake beautiful, but it was absolutely delicious! We went with almond chambord, and everyone loved it... my family was fighting over the leftovers. My mom claims the cake was the best part of my entire wedding, and wouldn't stop talking about it for weeks after (not exaggerating). MULTIPLE of my guests independently told me it was the best wedding cake they've ever had. My husband and I both agree, unbiasedly! It was so moist and flavorful. The leftovers tasted just as good days later. We're counting down the days to eat the top tier for our anniversary!

    I highly recommend Karen for any type of cake! Thank you Karen!

    The best wedding cake!

    The entire experience with Karen was amazing. The tasting was truly special and her house is beyond beautiful. All that said, there is NO comparison to her cakes. My now husband does not like cake and thought cake tasting would be his least favorite part of wedding planning, but he was wrong, he LOVED Karen's cakes. We have heard numerous compliments from our guests (and vendors) saying it was the best wedding cake that they have ever had. It was also beautiful! We couldn't reccomend Karen more.

    Amazing cake!

    Karen makes an incredibly delicious and beautiful cake. We had a tiramisu toffee cake + almond cake that were so, so tasty! The decorations were also fantastic, highlighting the nerdy things we wanted to show like Quidditch hoops, D&D dice, and sugar flowers. Karen was also really easy to work with and friendly. We'll be going back to have her make our anniversary cake!

    Delicious and Beautiful Cakes

    When we went to the Frederick Wedding Expo, we had an exact idea of what we wanted our cake to look like. We went to each cake vendor, showed them the picture, and asked if it was possible. Every single one of them told us to go talk to Karen Rodkey and we are so glad we did!

    Karen is wonderful to work with and, by her own admission, is willing to try almost anything. When we had to move our reception, she worked with us to make two cakes -- one for our small wedding celebration and one for our future reception. Both cakes thematically work with each other and their flavors are FANTASTIC!

    While our reception cake isn't until 2022, I can say that our smaller wedding cake was phenomenal. We went with a Tiramisu and Snickerdoodle cake and everyone loved it. The icing was perfect - not too sweet or too much. The cake was moist and flavorful. It was exactly as we remembered it when we visited her for our cake tasting (when you do this, you will fall in love with her home!).

    She does do delivery, but we had a close friend who drove by the area so she picked it up. The cake was ready and on time for our friend to pick up. Also, it looks fantastic.

    Love love love her cakes and recommend her for anything that requires cake and a celebration!

    Best wedding cake ever!

    Cake testing and creating this masterpiece with Karen was the absolute BEST PART of our wedding planning process!
    She mixed and matched cake flavors and three different fillings and the results were simply incredible and delicious!
    Guests are still raving about the cake and we’ve heard “best wedding cake ever” more than once ;)

    Amazing cakes!

    Booked Karen Rodkey Cakes for our wedding and will definitely be suing her for future events. We went with a small cake and lots of cupcakes for our special day. Our favorite was the margarita cake! We went to Karen's for the tasting and had a wonderful experience all around. We highly recommend using her for your wedding!

    Delicious Cake

    Karen is an amazing baker. The cake she made for our wedding was beautiful, affordable, and delicious. Many of our wedding guests gave us high praise and complements on how good the cake was. I’m not normally much of a cake person myself, but I kept going back for more.

    I would 100% recommend her for your wedding!

    The best cake we have tasted in years!

    We cannot thank our venue enough for suggesting Karen Rodkey Bakery. She has so many different types of cake to taste that it was extremely difficult to narrow down the selection to decide on what we wanted to taste test. She made us feel welcome the moment we stepped into the door. We took ideas of what we thought we wanted for the cake and then she added suggestions to make the cake look even better. The cake turned out looking fantastic. We are still getting compliments from our guests about how delicious the cake was. We would suggest her to anyone who wants a great cake on a budget.

    Simply Scrumptious

    I live in CA and was having a wedding in PA, only there one day for planning. Karen prepped the flavors I wanted and had them delivered to my venue so I could try them at my leisure. She gave me a phonecall to talk about decoration and to make sure I had exactly what I wanted. She made us two different flavors for each layer and they were both excellent. (I personally recommend the lemon chambord!)

    Delicious and beautiful!

    Our cake was fabulous as was our entire experience with Karen. It is worth noting that Karen doesn't respond to e-mails, but answers every phone call! Everyone talked about how delicious our cake was and how GORGEOUS it looked. We are thrilled with our decision to go with Karen; she's the best for a reason!

    Karen is great!

    Karen was wonderful from the moment we met her. She brought us into her home for our tasting, where she had prepared an assortment of small cakes. She took the time to talk with us and gave us more options than we knew existed (combining multiple cakes in the same layer, for example), and she was flexible when we changed our minds about the cake's appearance in the weeks leading up to the wedding. Also, the cake was DELICIOUS in addition to looking just the way we hoped it would. Please go to Karen!

    A cake to die for!

    Karen did such a wonderful job with our cake, it was beautiful and delicious! Spice Cake, Apple Cinnamon, and Carrot Cake were our flavors and we could have kept going with all of her choices! She was so great to work with and did such a perfect job with decorating our cake that we would highly recommend her to anyone for any occasion!

    The most amazing cake we’ve ever had!

    Karen Rodkey Cakes are out of this WORLD amazing!! Karen’s attention to detail in her decorating is unmatched. We chose a three-tiered cake, with strawberry shortcake, chocolate peanut butter, and marble with chocolate ganache, each in one tier. Our guests raved about each of the flavors! We could not have been happier with the incredible cake we received from Karen.

    Karen was a doll to work with!!! Especially when my partner and I decided to change our cake design a month before the wedding, not only was she all right with it (saying jokingly it happens a lot), but made sure we went over all the details a week before to make sure we got exactly what we wanted! She even helped add on a surprise or two on the cake for my partner as a wedding gift! All our guests raved about her cake and cupcakes, so yes, we would highly recommend her looking for one of a kind, delicious and reasonable wedding cakes!!!

    Delightful and delicious!

    We were delighted by every part of putting our wedding cake Karen’s hands. She is lovely and wonderful to work with and the cake was perfect! It was beautifully decorated, getting it done and delivered required zero effort from us, and it was delicious! One of the most complimented aspects of the wedding. We went with three tiers of one layer chocolate, one layer confetti so every piece had both flavors.

    Best cake we’ve ever eaten!!

    Karen was awesome! We met with her for a tasting of several flavors of her cakes a few months before the wedding. I think we ended up ordering almost every flavor we sampled for the wedding. We ended up with four flavors. Everyone raved about the cake. Our wedding was 6 months ago and people still will mention how good the cake was at our wedding. Karen made us a medium size decorated cake and then several sheet cakes to save money. ( No one knows the difference.) Also, it was as beautiful as it was delicious!!
