    Carolyn made our wedding cake for our wedding on Thursday and it was truly amazing! I enjoyed the tasting we had in January with 5 different flavors all of them amazing!!! And the 2 choices I chose were just as amazing on the wedding day. The cake looked and tasted perfect. She responded when I emailed with her and called me the week of the wedding to double check the guest count. I would highly recommend Carolyn for anyone who want an excellent cake for a very good price!!!

    Carolyn at Taylor Made Cakes was great and easy to work with! She made the wedding cake for our wedding on New Years Eve. She was able to create the design that I wanted based off something I found on Pinterest, and it looked amazing (very fun for New Years Eve)!!

    We did the taste testing with her before hand at her home, where we picked our flavors, and she was so sweet and the cake options were delicious! We went with the Southern Caramel and the Marble - so yummy! We just did the buttercream icing, which looked and tasted great. We got all great feedback on the taste of the cake, and the pictures of the cake itself are fabulous!

    The contract was simple and she makes the process easy and painless! Her price was competitive for other wedding cake vendors. She delivered the cake to the venue on the day of the wedding. She provided with the box for the topper to take home, as well as a nice plate to present it on (which she requests to get back post-wedding).

    Our caterer was kind enough to box up a lot of the left over cake, and we ate it for many days after - it was so great!

    Overall, Carolyn was easy to work with, for a good price, and she created us a beautiful and delicious cake for our NYE wedding! I would recommend Carolyn to anyone for a wedding cake, or any other cake they may need!

    Carolyn did an AWESOME job with our wedding cake. I wish I could attach a photo to this review, because she did exactly what we asked for, even though I doubt she'd done a cake like it before. It looked beautiful, tasted even better, and was delivered on time.

    Also, our cake tasting with Carolyn was one of the highlights of our wedding planning -- we still talk with our parents about how great all the cakes were that we tried!

    We'd highly recommend Taylor Made.

    Working with Carolyn Taylor was easy. DH and I visited Carolyn with my maid of honor and her fiance for a cake tasting. She served so many different flavors of cake at the tasting; it was very hard to choose. Finally, DH and I selected her as our cake vendor. I had gone to a few other places that were way more expensive and had terrible cake. We settled on vanilla with vanilla buttercream and carrot cake. The top tier was carrot cake because DH and I LOVE it.

    Since she is a preferred vendor at our venue, Whitehall Manor, Carolyn already knew the ropes of the venue. When we came into our reception, I glanced at the cake. The cake was so beautiful. She used some of our flowers to spruce it up, as well.

    The most important detail was that it was delicious! Our guests raved about it. A lot of them said it was the best wedding cake they have had. In the grand scheme of things, most guests don't remember what cake you served or what they had for dinner. But, we still have guests telling us that they wished Taylor Made Cakes had a store front to buy from.

    She told us not to freeze the top tier, as is the tradition. So, we've been eating it all week. Five days later, it is STILL moist and perfect as it was on our wedding day.

    Carolyn made our wedding day great with a deliciously sweet memory.

    I would highly recommend Taylor Made Cakes to any bride in the northern VA area. Carolyn is very skilled, passionate, easy to work with, and her cakes taste amazing! Our guests commented on how delicious the cake was. She created the exact wedding cake that I had envisioned and exceeded our expectations in many ways. My family enjoyed her cake so much that we've since used her for other occasions and additional weddings! She is truly a gem and I know you would be satisfied!

    Carolyn Taylor of Taylor Made Cakes did our three-tier wedding cake and we (and our guests) were amazed at how delicious is was. Carolyn has trained and baked all over Europe and it shows - the layers were light but perfectly dense, the frosting was the perfect level of sweetness, and the hand piping was so elegant. We had a hard time choosing from all the flavors and fillings she offered! We were thrilled with the end result. She is a serious baker who delivers a world-class cake, but well below the prices charged by bakeries closer to DC. http://www.cakesbytaylormade.com/

    Our wedding cake by Taylor Made was amazing! The White Velvet Butter Cake was delicious (like no "vanilla" cake I've ever had!) and the Chocolate Raspberry Torte was also a big hit with our guests. The black and white design on the cake layers was elegant and understated, exactly what we had asked for. An added bonus is that Carolyn was a pleasure to talk to; provided a wonderful tasting for us and made everything about the process completely hassle free for us. Highly recommend Taylor Made Cakes!

    Carolyn makes delicious cakes from scratch, and they are gorgeous as well! After tasting samples from a few other bakers, there was no debate on who we were going to use. Carolyn also asked me to send her pictures of my wedding colors so the flowers on the cake went perfectly with the other décor. After this we’ll be looking for an excuse to order another cake from her!

    Carolyn was a pleasure to work with and her signature flavors are absolutely delicious! Not only did she create an absolutely gorgeous custom cake with alternating flavor tiers (hazelnut truffle and white velvet butter - both amazing!), but she also baked several groom's cakes for our rehearsal dinner and delivered both without charge. We met with her once for a tasting, checked in a bit closer to the wedding date to confirm our guest number and order, and I emailed her a photo of a cake style I liked. She imitated it PERFECTLY and the cake looked and tasted like it had just popped out of my grandmother's oven. The buttercream icing and cake were to die for! So delicious. I would definitely recommend using Carolyn! She is a hidden gem.

    Carolyn created a beautiful cake buffet for our September wedding. I can't even begin to describe just how delicious the cakes were! She was so, so easy to work with and so helpful with picking out designs with us. We had 5 different cakes and flavors (some single tier and others multi tier.) Each cake was different and so, so pretty. We LOVED working with her and you can't beat her prices (not to mention her lovely personality!)

    The cake was magnificent. It was four tears with red roses delicately placed in between the layers. The cakes flavor, texture, and consistency was delightful. The cake was truly remarkable and one of my favorite memories of our wedding. I would highly recommend Taylor Made Cakes for any occasion.

    Carolyn is one of the most talented people I have ever met. Her cakes are beautiful, but much more than that, they taste PHENOMENAL!!! She is a true artist. Whatever vision you might have in your head as a cake she can create, and it will taste better than any cake you have ever had before. My husband and I cannot wait to commission her to make more cakes. She is truly a gem.

    Carolyn did a great job. The design of our cake was simple and classic, but the most important part for us was the TASTE! We wanted the cake to be delicious and not an after thought. Well - Carolyn succeeded. We choose the almond praline, chocolate raspberry and carrot cake - and our guests ate almost every last bite. I'm looking forward to cutting into our topper soon, and Carolyn is nice enough to do a FRESH 1 year anniversary cake at minimal cost. So I'll be coming back for that in a year. Definitely recommend Taylor Made Cakes, Carolyn is easy to work with but most importantly her cakes look and TASTE great!

    Carolyn Taylor is so nice and so easy to work with. We only had to meet once, do a tasting, work out the design of the cake and that was it! She made us a wonderful cake that was exactly my "vision". Not only did it look perfect but it tasted so delicious!!

    Carolyn created beautiful and tasty cupcakes for our May wedding at Whitehall Manor. She also created a beautiful cupcake stand to display the cupcakes. Additionally Carolyn created sugar cookies with our monogram on them to carry out the monogram theme of our wedding. They were amazing. Every last cupcake and cookie was gone at the end of the night. Everything looked great and tasted wonderful. We received many compliments on everything and how tasty it all was. Carolyn was easy to get in touch with and very reasonable for the service she provides. She goes out of her way to make sure everything is perfect.

    Our cake was beautiful and delicious - we couldn't have been more pleased. The design turned out beautifully and she even incorporated our monogram perfectly. She also baked a groom's cake for our rehearsal dinner and it turned out wonderfully too. We got many, many compliments on both!
