    Boho Beach Bride

    Hometown Desserts made planning an absolute breeze!! They were the sweetest people and made the vision that was stuck in my head, come to life! Their recommendations were spot on and the cake was GORGEOUS!! She was so flexible and made me a little less stressed! She worked with our florist (Blooms by the beach) to get flowers that matched our floral arrangements without us having to do anything! Our guests were RAVING about the cake and are already saving the info to pop in on their next visit to the island! We had key lime (bottom), Chocolate (middle) and strawberry (top) with buttercream frosting. She also made me a raspberry cheese cake since I don't actually care for cake in general that way I also had dessert! :) Phenomenal service.

    Amazing Bakery!

    Cindy was simply wonderful from our first tasting to providing all our delicious wedding desserts on the day of. She was true to the inspiration pictures I provided, and was quick to respond to emails and phone calls. Besides LOOKING amazing, all our goodies were very yummy and we did not have very much left over to take home, The price was very reasonable for the quality of service, and I would highly recommend Hometown Desserts to any bride.

    Great cake and a pleasure to work with

    Cindy was an absolute pleasure to work with and she created a beautiful, delicious cake for our wedding. We will definitely visit Cindy (and hometown desserts) on our next trip to Anna Maria Island and check out more of her sweet treats

    Pond Wedding 10/06/18

    Hometown Desserts was one of our venues preferred wedding vendors, after hiring them I completely understand why! We met with Cindy about 6 months before our wedding with a out of the normal request. My husband and I love cupcakes, when we first started dating we would go on "cupcake adventures" to different bakeries in New England just to try their cupcakes. After moving to Florida we continued that adventure. For our wedding my husband suggested us having a build your own cupcake bar! We messaged several vendors who were unable to see our vision. When we explained to Cindy what we wanted to do she was excited to help us! We chose 3 different flavor cakes, 2 frostings and a variety of toppings. Guests would come up to Cindy during our reception and literally create their own cupcake! We not only got great compliments on the idea but also they quality of the cupcakes! About a month before our wedding we also found out the baker scheduled to make our mini cake was unable to do so. I called Cindy and she was able to accommodate our last minute request! Our cake was key lime with a buttercream frosting and it was delicious! I can't wait to go back for our anniversary cake! Cindy's service is great as well as her pastries. Thank you for being apart of our special day and bringing our vision to life!

    You'll Never Have A More Scrumptious Cake

    Hometown Desserts is the best cake around. Cindy makes the tastiest/moistest cakes (keylime coconut and coconut are my favorites), and I can't get enough of them. Everytime I'm in Anna Maria, I have to stop by and get some.

    That's exactly why we hired Hometown Desserts for our wedding weekend. We had cookies and cupcakes for our rehearsal dinner, a hilarious Family Guy cake for the welcome reception, and of course, the most stunning multi-tiered cake for our wedding. Everything was devoured, and people were coming back for more.

    Can't recommend Hometown Desserts enough for your next event, or just a regular evening when you need something sweet. Thank you thank you!!!

    Cindy was super easy to work with from afar. She helped me choose an assortment of desserts and made a small cake for us. Everything looked great (and people enjoyed the desserts) even though all of our planning was done over the phone and email. Highly recommend supporting this small, local business!

    Cindy was very easy to work with from setting up our cake tasting last minute( to squeeze in while we were in town planning from out of state), to displaying the mini desserts and cake for the reception!
    Her unique flavors like key lime, orange and strawberry made for a fun tropical twist! We had nothing but rave reviews from our guests about her homemade desserts!

    Cindy was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took my suggestions and pictures for our cakes and went far beyond expectations! We chose her to do both our grooms cake and wedding cake and both turned out beautifully! We had the best time at our cake tasting. She made us feel at home and left the decisions up to us. We did a citrus layer cake for our bottom tier that our guests are still raving about. The keylime layer was wonderful... and so was the orange layer! You can't go wrong with using Hometown Desserts!

    If you are looking for a bakery for your wedding, look no further. Hometown Desserts is simply amazing. Cindy, the owner, is so wonderful to work with - you will never meet a more sincere sweet person. The wedding cake in itself was a work of art. It was beautiful and delicious. We also had Cindy make all of the desserts for the Prenuptial Party - a variety of little mini desserts that all of our guests just raved about.

    The entire wedding event was even more special because of Cindy and Hometown Desserts!

    Our cake was absolutely perfect for our wedding day, and we loved working with hometown desserts. we went for a cake testing and from there were able to select the flavors we wanted for our cake and it was absolutely delicious! I gave them a picture of what I had in mind for the cake to look like and they turned it into a reality absolutely perfect!! Highly recommend

    Hometown Desserts has the best tasting cake I have ever tasted before! We called very last minute while we were in town on vacation, and we got a cake tasting the next day. Cindy was prepared for us and had her main flavors ready for us to taste. We asked about a raspberry filling and she whipped something up for us on the spot. We decided to get our cake with this company for many reasons! Cindy is very sweet and helpful, I totally recommend this bakery for anything and everything! The price is great for such amazing tasting cake too. Very Happy!

    - our wedding cake was beautiful and we got so many compliments the rest of the week on how it was the best wedding cake they had ever tasted!

    Our cake was beautiful and DELICIOUS! The guests rave about the lemon cake! It was perfect, and Cindy was so easy to work with. She made the cake to look exactly like the picture we sent her for inspiration at the right price. It was great!!

    I was referred to Hometown Desserts by a friend of mine who was recently married. Before choosing a place to get our wedding cake we did Roseland everything seemed WAY too expensive for what we wanted. We didn't want anything fancy, just a one tier cake and some cupcakes for the guests, but that was all we knew. We met Cindy and she was the nicest most helpful person ever. She helped us figure out more of a design we were wanting, she did free taste testing and was so patient when helping us. We got 80 truffle balls (amazingly delicious by the way), 140 mini cupcakes (3 different flavors) and two cakes (one for the reception and one for our one year anniversary) for $270 which was way less than I saw and it tasted amazing. I also enjoy supporting small businesses. Whatever my future dessert needs, I'll definitely be going back to see Cindy at Hometown Desserts!

    Friendly staff and accommodating. We sat down and had a tasting, delicious cakes and a wide variety of options. We told them what we wanted and they worked with us to give us exactly what we wanted. Made sure that we didnt purchase more than we needed. Provided the tiers to set up the cakes and cupcakes and went to the venue the day off to set the cake you for us. They even made a small cake for us to take home and save for our one year anniversary. Amazing experience!

    Oh. My. Gosh. Probably the best cake and cupcakes I have ever had - and I'm not biased just because it was our wedding cake! We had lemon, key lime, and red velvet cupcakes and they were all out of this world! I also asked Cindy to surprise me with the design of our cake and she absolutely nailed it with little seashells on top! We even took the leftover cupcakes back with us to Indianapolis and needless to say, they didn't last very long! Thank you Cindy - you were so nice and easy to work with - a bride's dream!

    Cindy was a breeze to work with and it was an easy choice from all the reviews not only on weddingwire but also on trip advisor and other sites. She made us her famous Coconut Key Lime Cake and also chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. I'm not a big sweets eater so I was shocked when I tried the cake and really liked it. The photographer said my face actually lit up when my husband put the piece of cake in my mouth lol (can't wait to see that picture). Not only was it delicious but it was all very beautiful as well.
    We also stopped into her store while visiting the island and she has some of the most amazing desserts, iced coffees, homemade popsicles etc.
    I would recommend using her for your special occasion and also checking out her shop. They're amazing!

    We had a small wedding and hometown made us a small yet very beautiful 1 layer cake for the top of our homemade cake/dessert stand and filled cupcakes for our guest count. They offered many flavored and options for non cake as well. Cindy was so friendly and accommodating. She allowed us to change our order up to two weeks before the big day, which we took advantage us ( we were indesisive on what we wanted at first!)

    Hometown Desserts has the most delicious cake I've had. Their key lime coconut is to die for. We showed Cindy a few pictures of cakes I liked and we just let her go from there. Our cake turned out beautifully! We had multi flavored layers. Our bottom layer was citrus(Orange, lemon, lime), middle layer was neopolitan and top was key lime coconut. Everyone raved about the cake and I know a lot of people swung by the shop a bought more desserts during their time in the island.

    Cindy and her team did a fantastic job with my cake and cupcakes for my wedding. She was very understanding of what I was looking for and emailed me back at a timely manner with all of my crazy questions. The cake and cupcakes were delicious and beautiful! My husband and I decided to save the top tier for our first anniversary and we can't wait to eat it!!

    Cindi at Hometown Desserts was the perfect choice for our wedding cake and cupcakes. Her baking was mouth watering, the design we worked on together, she had wonderful ideas that matched our beaching/anchor theme. She was very professional and by the end of our wedding she felt like family. We went with four flavors of cupcakes and a small cake at the top for the bride and groom.

    Delicious, affordable, no stress!

    Cindy was so delightful! I worked with her mostly over email and she took care of everything. We got married at The Beachhouse Restaurant and Cindy delivered there - I never worried about a thing.

    We got a small round cake for the top and did cupcakes underneath. I wasn't too picky so just ordered the decorations that have the two adirondack chairs on it and requested chocolate with cookies and cream icing for the cupcakes... they even sprinkled oreos on the cupcakes for us! Cute, delicious - highly recommend.
