    Beautiful and Delicious

    Thank you Lauren for being so flexible on my vision! She created a beautiful cake on a shore timeline during a very busy season. She delivered it with a gorgeous cake stand too!

    The flavor was white cake with raspberry and the icing was SO good!! We also had a Carolina Gamecocks grooms cake that was a huge hit!!

    Delicious and good looking cake

    We hired The Cake Stand after my sister-in-law used them for her wedding specifically because I loved the cake at their wedding. They did a small cutting cake and cupcakes for our wedding in April as well as a Groom's cake for our rehearsal dinner. The wedding cake was absolutely beautiful and we had so many guests tell us how delicious the cupcakes were. Our groom's cake was above and beyond-- I described the three components I wanted included, and they took creative liberty and it DID NOT disappoint! It was a hot topic the rest of the wedding!

    Delicious, Affordable, Stunning

    The Cake Stand was an amazing experience from the very beginning. Lauren was so accommodating with any and all requests we had. All of our guests thought our cake was more than delicious and our cake was beautiful! She is very affordable and runs an extremely genuine business. Would highly recommend!

    Wonderful experience

    I can't say enough good things about The Cake Stand. Lauren was GREAT!!!! The cake was delicious. Usually wedding cakes are dry and aren't very tasty but their cakes are so good! They are moist, are full if flavor and the icing is to die for. I gave her a picture of a cake and really didn't know how close she could come to the original, but in my eyes she did better!! I would recommend The Cake Stand to everyone!! I have posted a picture of the original pic I sent them vs the one they made.

    Delicious AND Beautiful Cake

    Lauren made such a delicious cake for our wedding! She was so great leading up to the day working with us to pick up a tasting box and making sure the look was exactly what we wanted. Not only did the cake look beautiful, but everyone could not stop talking about how delicious it was. We could not recommend the Cake Stand Charleston more for your wedding!

    AMAZING CAKE!!! Will be ordering future cakes from here (and we’re not even big dessert people)

    Hire The Cakestand for your wedding and other events! Lauren was affordable compared to a lot of other bakers, so easy to work with, and was flexible with us having to reschedule our wedding and number of guests due to COVID-19. My fiancé and I had a fun time at our tasting and we selected carrot cake, lemon and red velvet for our three tiers. Each was amazing and several guests commented on how good and all of the cakes tasted. Our family even had some extra slices saved for the next day and they were still very moist and tasted just as fresh. My fiancé and I are not big dessert people, and we even raved about the cake. I’m already looking forward to another special occasion so we have an excuse to get another cake from Lauren!

    Beautiful and delicious cake!

    We used the Cake Stand for our wedding cake and cupcakes and they were delicious! We received a tasting box to pick our flavors. The design was exactly what we wanted and delivery was on time. We ended up having to change our date due to Covid and Lauren was extremely accommodating. Overall amazing cake and great experience!

    Gorgeous and delicious cake!

    We went through several other cake people before we found The Cake Stand, and I’m so glad the other people fell through. Lauren really understood what we wanted and delivered a GORGEOUS cake! It was so pretty that our guests thought it was fake! We even have a mini cake that they wrapped separately for us to eat on our one year anniversary.

    Crowd Pleasing Wedding Cupcakes

    Working with Lauren on the dessert for our wedding was super simple - and delicious! We started out with a customized tasting box of her delicious cupcakes and narrowing it down to only a few flavors was one of the hardest parts of planning our wedding! Lauren was great about letting us customize our flavors (and select as many as we needed!) When it came time to design our cutting cake she was just as helpful when it came to design ideas. Both the cake and cupcakes were delicious - we ordered 150 for 70 guests and hardly had any leftover! Our cake was also delicious - even at our one month anniversary when we celebrated with a slice. I would highly recommend The Cake Stand to any Charleston couple!

    Delicious and perfect

    Extremely reasonable pricing. Most affordable I could find. It got to a point where we almost had to use publix and this was our last stop before I gave up. She quoted us 1/3 of what most cake people in Charleston charge. She was pretty responsive during the week. I even used her for my Grandmas 80th birthday party. That was also very reasonable.

    More than I imagined.

    When my guests saw the cake designed by THE CAKE STAND they knew that I had an artist create the centerpiece of the day. I had called a number of designers and the price was either way out of my range or they didn't seem like they had enough time for me. There was absolutely no stress with THE CAKE STAND and I knew the cake would look amazing and taste remarkable. May I say that my guests remember the cake most of all. I do too. Thanks Lauren for giving me more than imagined.

    To sum it up, one of our guests (who is the editor of a major metropolitan bridal magazine, and thus has sampled lots of wedding cake) said the chocolate cake was the best cake she ever had! We really enjoyed working with Lauren and her husband. Lauren worked with us for our budget and delivered a beautiful and delicious product!

    We selected The Cake Stand after sampling several vendors in the Charleston area. Lauren's cakes were by far our favorites! She did a fantastic job of recommending cake/frosting/filling combinations and delivered a cake that was absolutely beautiful and delicious!

    The Cake Stand did the cake for my wedding and I was not disappointed. She worked with me well throughout the process, was extremely reasonably priced, and was very polite. The cake was absolutely gorgeous at the wedding, was exactly what I wanted, and tasted great!

    Wowza.
    Lauren was extremely responsive, and allowed us to sample her wedding cupcakes before we decided to do one small cake and three kinds of mini cupcakes. She worked with our wedding coordinator to deliver to our venue. Holy cow the cake was gorgeous, and EXACTLY like we requested.

    The Cake Stand did a wonderful job with our cupcake tower! I met with Lauren and explained what I envisioned, and she brought it to life. The communication was easy and the delivery and set up were seamless. And the cupcakes in 3 different flavors were delicious! And everything was very reasonably priced.

    We wanted a Citadel themed cake for our son's rehearsal dinner on April 1, 2016. We live 4 hours from Charleston and did a lot of correspondence with Lauren via phone and email. Lauren was also flexible in working with our schedule on the short weekend planning trips we made to Charleston. We were able to share our ideas and she took the creative reins and created a beautiful grooms cake to serve approximately 80 people. Our son loved it! There were SO MANY compliments on the cake for both design and taste! Although we did taste a variety of flavor combinations (and all were delicious) we had to select our son's favorites - chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. We are so glad we chose The Cake Stand!

    I met with Lauren at The Cake Stand to taste test and pick out a wedding cake. She was very helpful in going over every available flavor and also some design ideas that would match my theme. The cake was gorgeous and tasted wonderful. I had so many compliments on it from my guests. The delivery and setup were seamless. I would highly recommend The Cake Stand for your wedding day!

    Lauren was a pleasure to work with! I do not live in Charleston so I could only communicate with her via email and phone. She was so quick to respond to any questions I had and made a few suggestions for me in regards to the icing color. My guests RAVED about the cupcakes!

    The Cake Stand did an amazing job on our wedding cake! We showed Lauren some pictures of what we wanted and she was able to work her magic and blew us away. The cake was delicious! We had 5 different flavors and each one was moist and flavorful. Everyone at our wedding was saying how it was the best wedding cake they had ever tasted. They have competitive prices and really went above and beyond to make us a beautiful cake. Thank you!

    Lauren at the Cakestand helped with our wedding and grooms cake. I sent her a few pictures of what we were thinking about and she nailed the design for both cakes, we were very pleased with the outcome - not to mention they were delicious :) Prices were very reasonable as well.
