Meli at Cakes & Candles did an absolutely fabulous job on our wedding cake! We had a 5 tier cake with all different flavors. Not only did the cake look amazing, but all of the flavors were amazing. We had vanilla, strawberry, red velvet, chocolate, and bananas & strawberry. The cake was so moist and flavorful. The frosting was not that sugary sweet kind of frosting, but a cream cheese frosting which melted in your mouth. The top layer cake flavor was pumpkin & vanilla. The cake was so moist and flavorful. Meli also added a little cinnamon for a little Autumn spice). I would definitely recommend Meli and Cakes & Candles to any one. You can tell she loves what she does and puts her whole heart into it. She is very sweet and helped us with every step of the way. Thank you Meli for making our day so special and memorable!

Cakes & Candles did an AMAZING job on our wedding cake!!! They were very professional and helpful throughout the entire process. They were very open to all of my ideas and suggestions and were very helpful in creating my vision for the perfect wedding cake. We did the cake tasting process where you get to taste all the different cake flavors, fillings, and icings. We loved this so much because you get to try all the flavors that we were considering for the cake. We had a hard time picking our favorite flavors because they were all so good! :) We did the traditional 8 inch cake topper that we brought or ribbon and artificial flowers to decorate the cake. Cakes & Candles also provided directions on how to freeze the top layer so we wouldn’t have to worry about whether or not it would be good after being frozen for a month. AMAZING!!! Our cake was just as delicious as it was beautiful. It was just as good as if we had spent hundreds of dollars more for a cake from a more traditional bakery. I’m not even a big sweets person and I loved all of the flavors. Our favorite was the strawberry cake with strawberry filling and buttercream icing. We received so many compliments on how great the cake was and how they had never had a wedding cake that was so good after being frozen for a month! People always joke that when they go to a wedding they only eat the cake if they want to. In our case, that’s true! We only ate one slice of cake because it was so good and we had 3 flavors!!! That’s just an example though. Any cake that is good is going to be hard to find. I’m so glad that we found Cakes & Candles. They were one of our best wedding vendor choices because of their great personality, great prices, and most importantly their great quality and amazing tasting cakes. I’m not even a big cake person, but I loved cake! It was one of the main things we were looking forward to at the wedding. Our dream wedding has great food, great cake, and great people. Our wedding cake was a big part of that. It was one of the main things we were looking forward to. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. It was amazing and delicious and beautiful! Thank you so much for helping make our wedding cake a dream come true!

I don’t know how I missed the cake part of the review page, because it was my favorite part!! Cakes by Candies is absolutely marvelous! So much so, that I had my reception in a tent on the beach and I still used them.

They are so nice, that they will go out of their way to help you. For example, my reception was a Sunday, and they had to close for Sunday. Instead of sending me on a wild goose chase to find a bakery that could make a fake cake for them to deliver, they went and got me a real cake. It was still wrapped up and ready to be transported when I picked it up. And the best part is, it was my fake cake, so it was still pretty when it was open again the following Tuesday.

Not only are they super nice, but the cake is to die for!! I got the red velvet cake, and it was out of this world. I don’t even really like cake, but this cake was phenomenal. The filling was made with something special - passion fruit curd - mmmm. I highly recommend them!!
