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!

My family and I were visiting Charleston for a vacation, we were there to celebrate my wifes birthday and my in-laws anniversary. I contact the owner directly (Lauren) and she helped me design two beautiful cakes for the occasions. She was very helpful during the whole process and made it very easy! I would highly recommend this bakery, they make fantastic looking and tasting cakes! Their bakery is beautiful, clean, spotless, and huge! Really great local business. Thank you.
