A Stunning Cake and Exceptional Service!

As a wedding planner, I’ve worked with many vendors, and I was thoroughly impressed with Mel and her team at CaraMel's Bakery. The cake for Noelle and Zach’s wedding was not only breathtakingly beautiful but also absolutely delicious—guests were raving about it all night!

Mel’s communication throughout the process was clear and professional, and the cake was delivered on time and in perfect condition. Her attention to detail and reliability made my job so much easier, and I would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented and dependable cake baker for their special day!

Our Tiramisu wedding cake was amazing!!!

We got married down in Clearwater on July 12th and all our other vendors told us to get a Publix cake. We did a tasting and we just didn’t like it. We searched high and low for an amazing cake and we found it!! Chef Mel makes a tiramisu cake that is out of this world. I can honestly say we only had 5 pieces of cake left at the end of the night!! Our cake was one of the many hits of our wedding. Highly recommend using Chef Mel, she was very prompt with all her responses and runs a great company.
