I feel remised hat I never previously wrote a review. My wife and I married I married in Key West back in 2011 and had our wedding cake from here. It was AMAZING! Half was Margarita cake with coconut filling and the other half was marble with fudge filling. To this day, people talk about how it was the best wedding cake they've ever had. My wife and I still frequent Key West and when we go, I always order the same flavors in cupcakes for us. They are hands-down the best. read more

Fabulous Service! Beautiful Cake and tasty too! They are the absolute best!!! Can't recommend them enough for any special occasion. The delivery was timely and efficient and so were the responses. I'm so very grateful for your wonderful birthday cake! Thank you so much!!! read more

Our son liked his ice cream. If cakes are your specialty at least have some for walk up orders or take down your sign that reads cakes by the slice. Was really wanting a cupcake or cake slice but guess we'll have to go somewhere else. read more

Planning a destination wedding, I really didn't have much to go on besides a whim. I was looking at two places, which both had equally great reviews AND their prices weren't that far off. It was hard. But I went with Cakes by Karol solely based on a frosting option that she had over the other place. Having said that though, we were NOT disappointed! I didn't ask for anything too difficult so I felt pretty confident it would turn out ok, when in fact it turned out great! The cake was simple but pretty and it was delicious! We ordered the almond cake with the almond buttercream topped with toasted coconut - going for that whole 'Almond Joy' feel. Even with all that almond flavoring it was not overpowering and the cake was the perfect moistness. It was so good and the best choice that we could've made by chance. :) read more

Service: Wedding cake Cake: The bake was absolutely beautiful. Just as it looked in the picture, but better in person! I ordered a 2 tier of almond joy and key lime, and they were both delicious. The cake was moist and flavorful, but not overly sugary as many frosting and fillings are. Convenience: Ordering a cake with Carol was very easy. I was able to do everything remotely with great ease. Carol was very responsive and answered my MANY MANY questions in a timely fashion. Customer service: WONDERFUL! Carol text me the day of, to let me know that the flowers from the baker were not enough to make it look like the photo. Since I was not able to coordinate more flowers in time, she offered to use some leftovers she had from another cake and it looked beautiful! Thank you for the beautiful, tasty cake with wonderful service! read more

Cakes by Karol - 50th Specialty Birthday Cake - Desserts Near Me - Key West, Florida

Ordered a small cake for our wedding in Key West. Went with this business due to all the reviews. Ordering process was simple. Picked up the cake, and it was beautiful. We ordered the white chocolate cake with strawberry filling and buttercream frosting. Unfortunately, the cake tasted like a spoonful of sugar. There was no flavor. The strawberry filling had dots of buttercream filling in it, which gave it a weird texture. I was very disappointed. Everyone agreed the cake was pure sugar. No one took more than one bite. Spending so much money for a cake that was awful tasting was the lowlight of my wedding. read more

We passed this place a hundred times... So when my boyfriend said 'I need cake' I said I know this place... The cupcakes are done so well. Not that strange dry cake you often get in places like this. The frosting isn't overwhelming, or so sweet you won't eat it all. We had red velvet and chocolate along with some home made vanilla ice cream. Just perfect! Only wish they had a few more chairs inside.. A family of five took all the available spots so we stood. But that didn't deter us from enjoying it! We'll stop again! read more

Our wedding cake was to die for. It was a rum cake, double layered with raspberry and coconut custard. The outside was chocolate custard with different colored edible sea shells. The entire cake was done VEGAN! Our guests could not believe it! It was a daunting task since it was a destination wedding and our previous arrangements fell through, but Anna was so incredibly patient with me and took the order although the wedding was only two weeks away. I can not appropriately describe the level of professionalism and patience Anna showed me, but just know that your wedding will be in safe hands with Cakes by Karol! read more

Our cake was absolutely beautiful and tasted amazing! We just got married last week and i was blown way with how perfect our cake was. Thank you cakes by karol!! read more

I asked Karol to make a small cake for my Mother's birthday and I couldn't be happier that we chose her bakery. The cake was absolutely beautiful and probably the best tasting cake I've ever had (chocolate with dulce de leche). We also had the cake delivered to the restaurant and everything went smoothly, all I needed to do was give Karol the reservation information. In summary, I would absolutely recommend Cakes by Karol. We were really happy with the cake and their service. read more

I came across Cake by Karol by my Wedding Planner who highly recommended them. They made the cake tasting very accommodating and was very helpful. The cake looked absolutely flawless! The cakes tasted absolutely amazing that night and even the following day when we had cake for breakfast. All of my guests raved about the amazing flavor. I would highly recommend using Cakes by Karol for your wedding cake as they were professional, accommodating and affordable!! read more

Cakes by Karol did our wedding cakes for our July 9, 2011 destination wedding in Key West. (We live in Texas) Karol is easy to work with and good at easing your mind when you are not sure exactly what you want. We had set up a visit a year ago for a tasting. We didn't realize that the bakery was closed on Monday, which was the only day that we could do it. I told Karol about this. She baked up some samples and sent fillings along with them, over to our hotel on her day off. And they were sooooo good. Hard to choose the two we needed. But we did. We chose red velvet with cream cheese filling and a vanilla with a strawberry filling. The cakes arrived on time and were gorgeous. They tasted exactly as we remembered, if not better. She worked with our florist and made my vision a reality. Thank you so much, Karol! It was truly an amazing cake. read more

As I was planning my destination wedding I had to depend on reviews to pick many vendors. If you are getting married in Key West, look no further for your wedding cake! Cakes by Karol made our cake just as we asked and it was not only beautiful, it was the best cake I have ever had! We had a white chocolate cake, raspberry filling and buttercream icing and it was to die for. Emails and calls were return promptly and delivery of our cake was flawless. I had gotten three different quotes from three different bakeries and Cakes by Karol was priced right in the middle of the other two quotes. Over all value, I have to say is second to none!! Cheers!! read more

Cakes by Karol has the best cupcakes in Key West.

I used these people because of a recommendation from a restaurant, and their cupcakes were really good. This was for an event and they presented nicely. Sadly, though, they are rarely open to walk in traffic when you just gotta have a cupcake, and they really don't have anything there to sell anyway, if they were open to walk-in traffic. I think they're shooting themselves in the foot with this business plan, since now they have a more easily accessible Old Town location. I feel they deserve 5 stars for quality of what they did for me. However, since they've made it impossible to buy from them since, I knocked a few stars off. read more

We spent my wife's birthday in Key West. Working with Cakes by Karol was a breeze.. We coordinated most of the details via email... On my morning walk I stopped in an paid for the cake and they delivered to the house on the morning of her birthday. Rum Cake.. VERY YUMMY. read more

I don't know how her cupcakes taste, but we did choose her to do our wedding cake. As this was a destination wedding, of the 4 bakeries we researched on Key West, we thought Cakes by Karol had the best variety of flavors, as well as the experience in doing the design we chose (I wanted a sandcastle-looking wedding cake). Well after a lot of back-and-forth, via email and phone, there got to be a bit of confusion on how it should look, so the color was not exactly as we expected. That could have been overlooked, excepted the flavors came out waayy too sweet. Even my guests, who had a choice between rum cake with strawberry filling or marble cake with dulce de leche filling, barely had 2 bites of their cake. And this wasn't just 1 or 2 guests, but almost 20 guests. (And trust me, they were hungry, as the buffet meant for 25 guests was completely gone). As the bride I barely got the chance to taste much food, but I did notice the vanilla buttercream icing was too sweet. For those that love it very sweet, then this is for you. I do give them credit for making a beautiful design on our sandcastle cake, even though after spending $500 it should have been correct. However, as for taste, I should have convinced my mom, who bakes as a hobby, to make my wedding cake in Key West. read more

My wedding cake that you guys did for my wedding on 5/31/17 was the best cake I have ever had in my life! I had the key lime with butter cream and pretty orange flower. It was absolutely beautiful and exactly what I wanted! Thank you so much and this made my day complete!!! I can't recommend you guys enough! read more

I had a Key West Wedding on 2/17/2012 and orderd a cake one month in advance from Cakes by Karol. It was a simple vanila one tier cake with white roses. The filling I chose was custard and strawberries. The cake was horrible. It tasted old and the frosting was not fondant. It ruined dessert for everyone and I was very upset I paid $65 for that crap. The cake was hard and it was topped with nasty white frosting and laffy taffy of some sort. To top it off she put carnations on the cake instead of roses. Carnations are the cockaroaches of flowers in my opinion. I will never order from that bakery again. I Really wish I would have done a tasting prior to ordering. read more
