    Carina e delicious

    I brought in a picture of what I wanted and explained the size. These gals recreated just that, and the price was so fair. For the cake tasting part, they actually make 6 different cupcake flavors and you pick up and take it home with you for a more private tasting; which my husband and I enjoyed because we didn't feel pressured and overwhelmed with eating a different flavor after flavor. Highly recommend this place.

    Cake and cupcakes

    My wedding was at The Crowne Plaza Hotel in November of 2022 and the venue said they get their wedding cakes and cupcakes from Carina e Dolce. I taste tested their cupcakes during our food tasting and their cupcakes were amazing. We decided to do a one tier wedding cake and then do two flavors of their cupcakes for everyone to eat as a dessert at our wedding. We got the lemon lavender and the chocolate cupcakes; both of which were amazing! Below is a couple of photos of the set up. I would highly recommend using them for your wedding!

    Amazingly Designed Wedding Cake

    Our experience with this bakery exceeded our expectations. Andrea was able to put our vision into place and made a stunning wedding cake that was a true masterpiece. Not only was it beautiful, the flavor, along with taste and texture were beyond compare. The wedding guests gave us many unsolicited complements which was great. Definitely visit this shop and discuss your confectionery needs and you will be very pleased.

    Beautiful display

    This location was hands down the best cake tasting place we visited. We fell in love with the presentation and the TASTE of everything. On the day of our wedding everything looked beautiful, they were on time and even let us borrow some stands. Would definitely use this vendor for another event

    Beautiful, Delicious and Affordable

    Andrea is amazing! We had our first sit down with her and she designed us a beautiful cake based off some of our ideas. At the taste test she gave us full cupcakes to try and take home. The cost was super reasonable and she was very easy to work with! We will be going back to her for other events for sure!

    Best wedding cake

    We just had our wedding on October 27th! And we had the BEST wedding cake ever! From start to finish Andrea was incredibly professional! She was always super responsive to my emails. When I met her for my wedding cake tasting, my now husband couldn’t make it because of work. She made sure to send me home with so many samples so we could also do it together. Leading up to the big day she checked in with me to make sure everything I wanted was still the same. When I got to our venue and saw our finished cake for the first time, I was speechless! It was BEAUTIFUL!! Better than my wildest dreams. Then after our cake cutting, my husband kept eating the piece we cut. It was that good! The flavor was incredible and the cake itself moist! (And I hate using that word) but only way to describe it! We had to tell our venue to save 3 pieces for us. The table that had the cake on it was wiped within minutes! Guests are texting me to ask where we got our cake from. They want to order for their own occasions! Thank you so much to Andrea and staff for making the most WONDERFUL delicious cake I’ve had my entire life.

    We had the most amazing cake made by Andrea for our recent wedding! We wanted something different than the typical tiered wedding cake, so we had a a cake made to look just like our Old English Sheepdog Winston (the best-dog in our wedding). Andrea was so easy to work with and seemed just as excited about the project as we we're. We had some other cake shops tell us it would be too difficult to make the Winston cake as big as we wanted it, but Andrea had no problem fulfilling our request. She made exactly what we asked for and delivered the cake right on time. And it was so delicious! She even made some gluten free cupcakes for my mother, and she loved those as well! The cake was coffee milk flavored cake with buttercream icing--so good! I almost felt bad cutting and eating it because it was just so awesome!

    OH MY GOD! I got so lucky with Andrea and her bakery! It's located less than a mile from my brother's place. When we were looking for cakes, I sat at his place and searched on google maps and there is was, Carina e Dolce. We got in the car and drove over, completely missed it because it's not your typical bakery. But, keeping in mind to never judge a book by it's cover, when we found it we went in and fell in love. My husband, brother and sister in law all loved everything she had us taste. We went from a 2/3 layer cake to a 4 because of all the flavors. We left our first meeting with a design and choices, when we came back to put in our deposit, Andrea provided us with more flavors and we were blown away again and removed our originally choices with the new ones. We dropped off our cake toppers, deposit and left so excited to see the end result. I can remember the night of the reception, I got on the mic and made sure I specifically told all our guests "to try the cake!" I was so excited about it and it was delicious! Thank you so much Andrea!

    This cake was a complete surprise for me (the groom). I had no idea my wife had talked to Andrea about a groom's cake until I walked down stairs and saw R2D2 in a tux riding on top of a pint of Guinness ringed by super hero tokens and video game controllers! It was, hands down, the coolest, jaw dropping, majestic cake wonder of the world you will ever see! There was only one problem: it was so awesome I didn't want to eat it! It survived the whole wedding without so much as a scratch, but unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) the tux portion of the cake got damaged on transit home so I (begrudgingly) cut into it. It was a simple white cake so I wasn't expecting much. Boy was I wrong. It was moist, fluffy, and perfectly sweet. Oh and a magical bonus, the top of the top hat and the video game controllers we're rice crispy treats(my fave)!
    I still couldn't bring myself to cut into R2's head, so we wrapped that up for our first anniversary cake. If you need a cake, whether a groom's cake or a wedding cake, I highly recommend Carina e dolce!

    Andrea baked us the cake of our dreams for our wedding. Our caterer recommended her to us, and we had a great meeting in her small shop, where we sampled her strawberry champagne cake and instantly fell in love. She sketched and designed our cake on the spot and was able to work within our price range to make our cake dreams come true.

    One of the most delightful experiences of my wedding planning! I visited Andrea after a disappointing cake tasting with another wedding cake vendor. I walked into to her beautiful, whimsical space and sat down for a cake tasting that simply blew my mind! The flavors and designs were on point. Andrea listened to what I was envisioning for my wedding cake and took it to the next level. She also made some yummy pink and gold french macarons. A year later and I am back for my one year anniversary cake; I can't wait to see and TASTE what she creates! I definitely would recommend Carina e Dolce, Specialty Cakes & Cookies, especially to creative couples.
