We had an amazing experience with Bakes of Carmel! Ordered a vintage heart shaped cake for our daughter’s birthday and it was beautiful and delicious! The owner gave perfect instructions for how we can store, cut and preserve the cake which was incredibly helpful. Excited to use them again in the future!

Suresh did an incredible job with our wedding cake! It was filled with Biscoff and absolutely delicious. He brought my exact vision to life so beautifully, down to every detail. He even delivered it to the venue on a day they’re normally closed, which meant so much to us. The design was stunning, the flavor was perfect, and everyone couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. I can’t recommend him enough!

This was my first time ordering a cake of this quality and it was worth every. Single. Penny. The customer service experience was amazing and only surpassed by the flavor of the cake! I will absolutely go to Bakes of Carmel for future milestone events!

This was a new bakery for us. We requested a 3rd birthday cake for our daughter’s birthday party. When I tell you this cake was absolutely delicious…….It was gorgeous. The icing was to die for. In my experience, you either get a pretty cake or a cake that tastes good, you never get both, but this was absolutely both. It was everything we asked for and then some. We sent reference photos and they knocked it out of the park. Customer service and communication was top notch. We will be returning for all of our cake requests in the future.

Bakes of Carmel baked incredibly tasty and lovely cakes for my daughter’s wedding on 10.12.25. Guest count was 200. The guests raved, and as primary wedding planner, I was impressed by the outstanding communication and their desire to please. I highly recommend for all celebrations!

Very professional and quick to respond. The cake was beautifully decorated and tasted amazing. The price point was very affordable. Lastly the turn around time from order to pick was awesome. I could not have had a better experience. THANK YOU!

My gender-reveal cupcakes were a blast! Everyone kept talking about how good the cupcakes were! For me, the most important thing is the texture — not too moist, not dry — and their icing was perfectly balanced with butter and sugar instead of being overly sweet. I was also looking for something a bit fancy that fit a party vibe, and they delivered. They showed me sample pictures and helped me customize my order from A to Z. I didn’t even do their full custom design (which is absolutely gorgeous based on the photos!), but I’ll definitely be back for another special occasion. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for cupcakes that taste as good as they look!
