  So Talented!

  We worked with Jim for our October 2019 wedding in DeBordieu and he is so talented! I was struggling with finding a bakery that I loved in the Georgetown area and one of my bridesmaids (who is also a wedding planner) recommended Jim because she's worked with him before. I'm so glad that we found him!
  
  We met with Jim at his beautiful home and he immediately got my vision for the cake. I never had a doubt it would be exactly what I wanted. Every single cake flavor we tasted was amazing, but we ended up choosing almond amaretto and orange triple sec. I'm not the biggest fan of wedding cake in general, but his flavors were over the top!
  
  I would definitely recommend Jim to other brides who are in the Charleston/Georgetown area. Thank you, Jim!

  Jim is a master at his craft and did an amazing job with our wedding cake. It was beautiful and tasted just as good! Jim and Alejandro were so easy and enjoyable to work with throughout the process. Highly recommend.

  Amazing job on our wedding cake!!! We wanted a fairly simple cake with real flowers on it and the design Jim came up with was far beyond what either of us could have imagined. Absolutely beautiful. Additionally the cake flavors were SO good! We ended up picking 4 flavors so that people could try more than one and everyone said the cake was so delicious. I only wish I ate more of it at our wedding!!

  If you're looking for a cakes that are works of art that taste as good as they are beautiful, look no further than Jim Smeal. He and Alejandro were lovely to work with designing our wedding cake and were very gracious about any changes and requests. An extra special touch was providing us with a separate, surprise anniversary tier for my husband and I when we decided we were going to serve the top tier of our cake at the reception. We can't thank them enough for the wonderful job they did.

  Jim did phenomenal. His cake surpassed every expectation we had. The tasting was so perfect and delicious and then we talked about the design. His ideas were perfect and the final product was truly breathtaking. We didn't want to cut it because it was SOO perfect. To too it all off it tastes just as good as it looked. People raved about it the whole time!

  I would absolutely recommend this bakery for and future event. They made our wedding cake and it was gorgeous and the most amazing and tasty wedding cake I have ever consumed! All of my guests were going back for seconds. We chose the vanilla cake with lemon curd layered in between and chocolate mochas cake with buttercream frosting, as I did not want fondant. Even the groom who doesn't like sweets or cake, ate his cake and raved how good it was. Excellent service, excellent quality, wonderful goodness. Thank you!

  Best cake ever!! Jim was great at everything from helping with design to picking flavors. Consensus at the reception from most was it was the best cake they have ever tasted!! We tried several places and Jim's by far was the best tasting and best looking.

  Our wedding cake was truly couture! Jim Smeal and his team designed our wedding cake to perfectly match all of the lace detail on my wedding dress down to the eyelet lace. Not only was the design perfection, but the buttercream and filling on the inside was melt in your mouth delicious! Our friends and family couldn't stop talking about "the best wedding cake they had ever seen" and the "most delicious wedding cake they had ever tasted". Many thanks for all of the efforts they put in to making a GORGEOUS cake for a perfect day! Amanda and Garrett

  Yum yum yum!! he custom designed our cake to look just like the photo we showed him, it looked amazing and tasted even better than at the cake tasting! Highly recommend the fresh crushed raspberries, the entire tier was gone and thankfully our wedding planner, Cindy with engaging events, saved us some of each tier. The key lime tier was our bottom tier and it was almost gone also! Very delicious and I think you can't go wrong with any of their cake!!

  Jim created the most beautiful wedding cake for my wedding! I had no clue what I wanted in a cake. I had met with other bakers, but always left totally unsatisfied. Jim was truly an artist and took my vague words and sketched out (in front of me) an amazing cake. The flavors and fillings were all so amazing that it was so hard to choose! I was so in love with my cake that I didn't want to cut into it!

  Jim was a little pricey compared to other cake vendors in the area, but he was also upfront about that before we even started working with him. I chose him because my cake was one of the most important parts of my reception and I wanted it to be flawless. I was able to give him a small sample of the lace from my mother's wedding dress to use to create the pattern on the cake. (My mother's dress had been stolen many years ago and so this was my way of paying homage since I could not wear it.) I had the lemon cake with lemon curd filling and it was delicious. I received many compliments on the cake and most of my friends are foodies. The frosting he uses has a very delicate, creamy flavor which allowed the flavor from the cake to come through and does not overwhelm with sweetness whcih would mix badly with all the drinking and dancing. I'm looking forward to eating the top layer in a few months time (butter cake with rasberry filling) and am even consdiering having another cake made to celebrate my first wedding anniversary.

  If you're in the Charleston area, you cannot get better than Jim Smeal's cakes!! Their design and artistic eye is off the charts... and though pricey, once you see the product you will understand why. My recommendation: the key lime cake. You'll be in heaven :)
