The chocolate cake is delicious! The frosting is so fudgy and chocolatey and just amazing. I got the 8 inch 2 layer cake (smallest option) and it was $55. I emailed with Christen to place the order and coordinate and it was very easy. Great option for a celebration or event. read more

I had first head of them from going to a wedding where they did the cake. I forgot to get snacks for an event I was hosting and the Chocolate Cake really came through. I was looking for a place near the event to do a neighborhood tie in and they made me 7 dozen mini cupcakes. I sent an inquiry and we worked out the details over email. I initially was going to get a few dozen regular sized cupcakes, but Christen suggested the mini's for bite sized snacking in a mingling... setting which was perfect. We set a pickup time and I went to grab them just before my event. Christen had them ready and greeted me at the door. She actually does all the baking off site at a commercial kitchen and then offers pickup from her beautiful home downtown. I love this old school way of doing business and it adds a personal touch. Now for the cakes! Everyone was raving about them and asking where they came from... even people who said they don't even like chocolate cake (weirdos if you ask me). I lucked out because my guests had restraint and didn't devour every last mini cupcake so I took home about a dozen of them and enjoyed all of them with zero judgement from the party goers. I can't wait to try a whole cake from this place... it's gonna be amazing. read more

I placed an order online and was able to communicate with Christen via email no problem. She was always very quick to respond. I picked up the cake from her house which is next door to the kitchen house of where the cakes are made. Christen was very friendly! We picked up the smallest cake which I believe is a 4 inch and yes, it was small but it actually was a perfect size for the four of us (2 adults with our two very small toddlers). The cake is definitely moist and decadent. Very delicious! The cake is enough for two days! Yum! read more

We had a chocolate and a lemon cake. Both very delicious- best I've had in Charleston! Thank you!

I would give this cake 100 stars. If you are coming to Charleston be sure to pre order a cake. We ordered chocolate/chocolate and red velvet. For a nominal amout order three layers! Check out her website for pricing. This is worth the drive into CHS even if you are staying close by. This cake was old school, homemade cake! So delicious! If you're only getting one, order chocolate! read more

I have been enjoying Christen's chocolate cake for years (as a Christmas gift) and it really is the best chocolate cake you will ever taste. A friend was celebrating their 90th birthday and requested a lemon cake. I was happy to see that Christen also makes lemon cakes so I ordered one for the party. It was just as amazing as the chocolate cake with just the right balance of cake & icing. It did not disappoint and all party goers asked where I purchased it. You can't go wrong with a cake from Chocolate Cake Charleston and Christen made the ordering process so easy. read more

The BEST chocolate cake anywhere... like in the world. Ordered for my Mother's Bday and went to pick it up at the owners cute house, where it was beautifully boxed up with a ribbon and ready to go. The 8 inch cake had to have weighed about 4 pounds and I figured there was no way it could live up to all of the niceties ( pretty box,ribbon,Sweet owner in her cute house and a great bargain to boot) but it did!!! It really did. Super fudgy, moist, chocolate cake with absolutely divine, die for chocolate icing that was the perfect mix of bittersweet. Again... THE BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE on earth! read more
