I loved this place. I loved the ambiance as soon as I walked in. It was bright, clean, and welcoming. I ordered a tea and she was patient with me as I searched the menu and asked for a flavor and milk. I then ordered a cupcake for my husband and I. I had my toddler with me and the staff were sweet to him which is always so nice. Now let's talk the goodies. The cupcakes were wonderful! A key description my husband and I both agreed on was they were moist. And the flavor was delicious, it hits you as soon as you take that first bite. I got the strawberry cupcake and a chocolate peanut butter cupcake. Perfection. I made the mistake of letting my toddler have a little bite and he turned into a crazy eyed wild one wanting more. With that said, I'll be back. read more

This was a fun place to go and always had something fresh-baked and yummy, but unfortunately, the business has closed.

I ordered an orange creamsicle cupcake. The cupcake was delicious. There were no slices of cake available for purchasing, so I will revisit this bakery again in the future. The restaurant was clean, and is conveniently located downtown on North Main St. read more

New basket in downtown Wendell. They offer a variety of fresh breads and sweets daily. The Cuban bread was crispy outside and soft inside. The chocolate chip brownie was large, tasty. Satisfies any sweet tooth. They also offer bagels and Danish. Bought some to try later. Open Tuesday thru Saturday 8-6. The goods are tasty however you will pay top dollar. read more

Wonderful baked goods! We visit this bakery at least every few weeks! My only reason for not giving them 5 stars is the customer service--I wouldn't say they are rude but definitely not the "small town" feel they advertise. It hasn't just been on one occasion-- they are not friendly at all! This may not be important to some people but it is to us when we are frequent customers. I got a piece of white wedding cake today -- they used the knife that had chocolate cake/strawberry icing on it -- didn't really want that flavor on my cake! read more

Carter's Baking Company - Birthday Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Wendell, North Carolina

I ordered 30 chocolate covered pretzels for my granddaughters birthday to deliver to daycare. Website quotes $1.00 each. When I went to pick them up, I was told they were $1.50 each and they didn't have time to change the website. On top of that, the person who made the announcement was rude about it. They could have told me when I called to place the order. After seeing my unhappiness, I was given the website price but only after having the box shoved at me. Very disappointed read more

Really cute, family owned bakery. I've tried their cakes, bagels, and cinnamon rolls. They were out of icing when I ordered my cinnamon roll and made it homemade right in front of me! Delicious food. Happy to be able to buy homemade bagels as those seem hard to come by. read more

The best bakery with great customer service around!! I called what I would consider last minute to order 30 red velvet cup cakes, 3 days before pickup. It was handled with NO PROBLEM. I just did a taste test and boy howdy was it good!! Another extra plus, they had an option to package each one individually, which is great during these times. I can't wait to give them more of my business. Not to mention their baguettes are awesome too and yummy all by itself. Thanks Carter's!!!! read more

Delicious jumbo cookies and apple strudel desserts . Perfect location in downtown Wendell. Would recommend their mini cupcakes, too.

Really great addition to an excellent downtown area in Wendell. Try their sourdough bread! You can't get enough of it. Substantially crusty, yet soft inside. Not so chewy like a lot of sourdough bread can be. They also do a lot of specialty cookies, cakes, and other baked items. Great staff read more

I've ordered 3 birthday cakes at different times and 2 out of the 3 orders were messed up. I'm trying to be balanced in this review over the different experiences we've had; however, the latest treatment by the owners wife was absolutely appalling--see #3. Be careful with any special order, call and explain very carefully what you want and have them explain it back. Be sure to order in advance in case you have to get anything fixed or have to adjust to plan B. 1) 1 year ago: The first was ordered online for my granddaughters birthday and it was forgotten and not made. Props to Mr Carter who was very apologetic and kind--he comped the cake and threw in some extra cupcakes to make things right. it was a stressful situation the day of the birthday party but it turned out ok in the end. 2). 3 months ago: The second cake was ordered with an edible design on top and it was beautiful and on time. My grandson loved it. 3) Today: This time, I ordered a birthday cake online last weekend and sent in the image to go on top, called to confirm the order was received along with the image the first of the week and once again it was incorrect when my husband picked it up. He sent me a picture after getting home. I left work and picked up the cake traveling 45 minutes to get back to the bakery after calling and being assured it would be made right. I had to come back the next day...today....the day of the party to pick up the cake only to be met by a very unfriendly owners wife who proceeded to try and charge me extra for the edible picture on top which they had to fix. No apologies, accusations and hostile tone thrown my way as I'm trying to calmly explain that I've now made three trips to the bakery to get the cake right as ordered. I was appalled to be talked to and treated as I was with other people in the store, and as a customer who had tried to support their local bakery. We will not be ordering any more cakes. If it had been me, I would have apologized, thanked the customer for their understanding and offered something in goodwill for the trouble as an encouragement to return. At the very least I would never have tried to charge them extra!!!!! read more
