I ordered a 50th birthday cake for my friend a couple of weeks before his birthday. I spoke to the owner and gave her a general idea of what I wanted. I wanted it to be very over the top so she said she actually wrote gaudy on the order. My friend said it was the best birthday cake he's ever had. It tasted as good as it looked. Thanks so much for the creativity, it really made his 50th birthday! read more

Wow best bakery ever!!!!! I order a wedding cake every month to eat myself because I am a lonely crazy cat lady who loves cake. The cake would last me a whole month and then I would order another one. On occasion, I would buy a box of cookies for myself because they're amazing and I'm a shamu. If you're looking for a cake for any occasion, this place is the spot to go to! read more

We used Chocolate Carousel for both our cake and favors for our July 2018 wedding. With all the stress of wedding planning, Lisa and the chocolate carousel team bring some fun (and deliciousness) into the process. They were so accommodating to us when it came to scheduling the tasting... and on the day of the tasting, Lisa and her team just made us feel so at ease! She has endless photos and ideas, and can help you talk through your vision... or create one if you don't have a vision. I definitely recommend the team @ Chocolate Carousel! read more

This place is great!!! Very professional and the baker Jen was so helpful in helping me design my son's cake for his christening. It was so stunning but better yet it tasted amazing. I'm still having people call me on how delicious it was. They made me an almond cake with raspberry chambord filling something different than the traditional vanilla and chocolate cakes. We still have a whole tier in the freezer. Thank you CC for coming through again! read more

My husband and I did a destination wedding, and we did a brunch in NJ for everyone who couldn't make it to Mexico. Our brunch package included a cake from Chocolate Carousel. Right when we walked in for our cake tasting, I was so excited, because the bakery was so cute and smelled amazing. By the time of our event (July 15), the cake looked better than I ever pictured! We did two tiers chocolate chip cake with cannoli filling and the top tier chocolate chip cake with cookies & cream filling (all butter cream on the outside). EVERYONE raved about the cake! We couldn't be happier! I can't wait for our one year anniversary to have a mini replica cake made for us :) read more

I had a wedding cake package with my venue to get my wedding cake done here. I got married in August 2017 and went for my cake tasting late June. Chocolate Carousel was so great and effortless to work with! I came in with a few pictures of what we wanted for our wedding cake and all the options were laid out for us. They listened to what we wanted and brought out samples to taste and wow were they delicious!! I felt very confident and excited about how our cake was going to come out. I also ordered a cupcake for someone who was celebrating another event the same day as my wedding. I felt confident that everything would be handled properly and wasn't stressed about my cake at all! The day of my wedding the cake came on time, with the cupcake, and looked so pretty and exactly what we wanted. More importantly, it tasted delicious!! It was perfect and exactly what we wanted!! Everyone raved about how delicious it was! They also offer a service for us to buy a small version of our cake for our one year anniversary instead of freezing it for a year! You can't beat fresh cake!! read more

Chocolate Carousel is great! Working banquets for a few years allowed me to eat lots of their cake so I was very excited when they were the bakery for our venue. The tasting provided was such a fun way for us to chose our flavors/ design and to make sure we actually ate our wedding cake. The final product was beautiful and delicious! They even make an anniversary cake for you the following year. Say goodbye to yucky frozen top layers! read more

I paid $900 for a custom cake that was supposed to be picking up for 175 people when I got was a kid that was completely wrong on the outside.. It was supposed to have red white and blue bling ..When I got was tacky red ribbon white morning and no blue. The cake was only for about 75 people, And I sent a sheet cake for the rest of the guests. The flavors were supposed to be chocolate peanut butter and a French vanilla layer. The entire cake was plain yellow cake.. This was a gift for my niece she was mortified Because the cake looked nothing like what she ordered. I have never been more in embarrassed .. the day was completely ruined.. And when I called the next day to talk to the owner they were completely rude they were used to refund any of the money or even apologize.. read more

When planning my sister-in-laws baby shower I needed to find a bakery nearby for the cake. I found chocolate carousel online and chose it at random and boy did I luck out. I went in person to order the cake. I chose a chocolate cake with buttercream frosting and canoli filling, however they have many options to pick from to build your own cake. They created a beautiful baby shower cake that was also delicious. I I've ordered several birthday cakes from here since which have always pleased everyone who's tried them. In addition to cake and pastries they also sell candy and ice cream. read more

Chocolate carousel did an amazing job with our wedding cake! My husband came with me to design it and he could care less about cakes but they were able to incorporate my personality and his into one and our cake represented both of us. This actually turned him around and made the cake designing fun for both of us. Now we our going back to pick up our cake to celebrate our one year anniversary with our family. I would definitely design another cake with them for any other future events I may have! read more

When my now wife and I went for our cake tasting, the people at Chocolate Carousel were very professional and helped us to create the perfect wedding cake.

Everybody said that it was the best cake they ever had and the compliments just keep come pouring in.

My husband and I got our wedding cake from chocolate carousel bakery for our wedding 10/27/18. We had it designed to look like a birch tree with our initials carved inside a heart. When our cake arrived at the venue, it was more beautiful and adorable than I had envisioned! We absolutely loved it, and got so many compliments about how different it was for a wedding cake. Aside from the beauty of it, the actual cake was unreal!!! We chose an almond cake with chocolate fudge and raspberry puree filling, and buttercream frosting. We wanted our cake to taste like a tri-color italian rainbow cookie, and it was dead on with the flavor! The cake was outstanding and again, we had so many compliments from our guests about the cake! We cannot wait to get our 1 year anniversary cake from chocolate carousel! read more

Not exactly what we were expecting to get. Flowers in the photo we choose were a lot bigger than the ones we received. We even paid extra for upgraded flowers-- so that was disappointing..... But the overall cake was pretty similar aside from the size and number of flowers. I felt like it was the bare minimum that was possible to do, and then a little less. The cake wasn't very important to us, so this was ok, but to someone who really was particular, they probably would not have been happy. Cake itself was just ok. Not a very flavorful cake--but adequate....... read more

Super fun tasting wedding cakes!! Lisa the owner and her husband John are awesome cool and really easy to work with. She showed us soooo many different cakes and options and was able to find out what we were really thinking and what really represents us as a couple. They present you with all the flavors for cake filling and icing and then you get a dish with ALL the samples :) I felt like a little kid in a candy shop!! At the end we left with a huge smile and felt like we made some good friends. read more

Unfortunately, this shop did NOT live up to my expectations. I was very clear I wanted a navy blue velvet cake. I received a smurf blue which was surprising as I cut into it. The look of disgust showed all over my face. I paid extra for fresh strawberries and MANY people's pieces were missing them. The excuse they gave is they can't be near the edge since they will be bleed through. That's fine but how do my piece, my husbands, my moms and bridesmaids (along with others) all have them missing? Not a coincidence. The chocolate covered bride and groom Oreos I ordered were less than stellar decor wise as the bride was a plain glitter ivory yet the groom was decorated like a suit. My rehearsal dinner cake was so sloppy as well. There is nothing that could fix what they did as the memory of our wedding cake and favors are ruined. read more

First of all the bakery is beautiful :) Out of the 4 bakeries we visited, they had the most extensive amount of books to view their work. To us, the cakes looked 50/50 elegant and basic.Some cakes looked like a student in baking school completed the design work. To me it cost too much money to take a chance on the work looking sloppy. I was honestly surprised they put those type of pics in the book. I pointed them out to my fiance and he to was confused. This having been our last appointment, we are set on our design/vision and knew what we wanted. As we got into the details of our requests, we were met with no's. We also disagreed with the quality of their work on specific items that we were not able to compromise on. The icing on the proverbial cake, was when the Manager/Owner came over at the consultant's request to look at some pictures I had of highly detailed, exquisite sugar floral design. She assured me that the woman who does their sugar flowers could replicate the pictures I showed her. I asked to see examples of similar work...several times and was repeatedly directed to pictures of flowers that were nowhere near the same quality. At one point the Manager left and came back with a picture of a flower that her employee did, which I already said I was not interested in as they showed it to me in person as it was being prepared for a cake the next day, and 3 pictures of a flower from Google to point out to me that, "a flower like that design does not exist and its probably not a real sugar flower. These are the type of flowers we do (referring back to the one actual pic and 3 Google images.)" Mind you I took that picture in person with the baker who created it. PLUS I have grown in my own garden that ACTUAL FLOWER with that EXACT DETAIL so I know it exists. The Manager also felt it was necessary to tell us that, "last year we created over 1500 cakes and our designer is award winning." Basically, she got defensive and my fiance being a Chef, recognized it immediately. I felt the tension in the air but I was trying to salvage the appointment by being persistent on what we wanted in an effort to see real examples of that very specific level of work, none of which we saw in the books. It's not easy to hear someone critique your product or employee's work with real examples of a different, better quality. It's unfortunate, but we decided to leave w/o tasting the cakes & were still had to pay the $50 fee. We did buy a few confections before we left, no hard feelings :) Our consultant was so NICE though :) Thank you for trying Miss! Ultimately, the Manager's arrogance was a complete turn-off. I could not recommend a bride going there. read more

Best chocolate cake! My husband stopped in last minute and they happened to have a chocolate cake left. It was a chocolate cake with a chocolate filling and chocolate frosting but it's was moist, not too sweet or too rich, a perfect balance and really delicious! One of the Best cakes I have had. This was about a month ago and my entire family is still asking about that cake! They all want it for their birthdays. read more

My husband and I got married this July in the Sterling Ballroom and their cake vendor is Chocolate Carousel. They were amazing! When we went for our tasting, we didn't know what to expect, but our cake designer Lauren had everything under control! She was very patient with us in explaining everything we needed to know and getting us our tasting plate. Neither my husband or I eat cake very often but we both agreed that everything was beyond amazing! The cake options and fillings taste so good and the whip cream icing is light and sweet, but not overwhelming. We ended up choosing Chocolate Cake with Mocha Filling for the bottom tier, and Almond Cake with a Lemon Filling for the top two tiers, all with the whip cream icing and design, and buttermilk flowers. When I first saw my cake at my wedding I couldn't be happier with how it came out! Everything was beautiful, and our guests loved it! read more

We had scheduled our wedding, and we were pleased to learn that the cake would be included AND it would be by a local baker in Wall. Having lived in Belmar until I left for college, I was very familiar with the area, and knew right where to find CC. We had a bit of a lightning wedding, since my new restaurant was about to open in 4 months and I wanted to be done with wedding stuff. We booked out the room at the hotel and then headed straight to the bakery, after having the event manager call over and ask if it was alright to come over; which she said it was, and that she'd be there all afternoon. Up to now, things had been fairly smooth. We had a plan, and even though we had been checking off the Wedding Check-list faster then ever though possible (band, pianist, hotel room, rings, menu, tux & dress in 48 hours), we finally hit our snag. We arrived at the bakery later in the afternoon, but still well before closing. We asked for the woman who the hotel had spoken with, but ''because we took so long to get there'' (20-25 mins from Freehold), she had left for the day. The girls behind the counter brought us some cake books and showed us to a side room. We looked over the books, and my wife made the decisions on the decorations, color, tiers, etc. She wrote out how we wanted it, took the cake numbers for reference and I asked to leave a message for the owner. The bakery called her for us, and handed me the phone. I'm not sure if with word "Diva" could be accurate, but clearly the amount of gall I had to speak to her after she had left was appalling enough to have her scoff at our selection and say that if we wanted to return in 2 weeks for a 45 minute appointment so she could 'speak to me about this then,' we could. We live in Boston, so our local availability was difficult. I did explain this to her, probably fairly directly, but I stayed polite; as at least one of us is actually used to the hospitality industry. She blew off the request for an earlier time, and ignored the list of notes we had recorded for her. We were stuck with the appointment in a few weeks. I said that we'd find a way to get there and left it at that. Two weeks later... We came back to NJ to drop off $5K for the hotel deposit and make the rounds. We moved the Florist appointment to the same day to keep things moving. After these two, it was off to the Boro for the license and then a 6 hour drive back home to go directly to work. We arrived at the scheduled time and my wife mulled around at the candy and cookies and such. I remained on the phone calling every place you can imagine, about things for the wedding, and lots of things for work.... 11 minutes pass... We had been glared at by a blond woman in the back several times when we gave a little wave, whenever she'd look out front to us. Eventually, she shut the little shutters that separate the rooms. By now, my patience was wearing thin, so I called the bakery. The owner picked up, and I said that I had been up front for ten minutes, that we were here for an appointment, and that we'd like to speak to her so we can move this along. She said "I don't know how long you THINK you've been waiting, but don't you lie to me. I'll be out in a minute." Very classy. I'm aware of how long it was since my last call was made as I entered the shop and I have mastered the ability to read a clock. A few minutes later, a younger woman (not the owner) came out, greeted us, and lead us into the side room to talk cakes. We handed her our notes from the previous visit, which she copied down and offered us cake & icing samples. We said we were OK, but she grabbed them anyways saying, "Just to make sure you got just what you wanted." We thanked her for the meeting (15 minutes), I apologized if I had seemed curt, and we headed out to our florist meeting. The caked ended up being Very good, and while we only had a small bite of it since we were dancing, I can suggest them for their products. My wife got the cake she wanted, nicely included in the wedding package, and I got to cut it in half with a sword (cake server was too small, sword was the next logical step.) If you're in the area, and are looking for a nice selection, I do recommend them. After all, most of us care about how the item tastes and looks, which was very good, which earns them the 3 stars. Now, that being said, I will not now, or ever again, be a customer of theirs. The attitude & extreme frustration from the owner (yes, it was the owner, dispite the second woman being very kind) was enough to make me consider PAYING for a different bakery to take care of the cake, rather then even speak to her again. I'd only suggest that she at least pretend that she's in the hospitality field. And I'm glad for her that she's stood next to famous chefs for her pictre to be taken. I've met two of the same (from her picture shelf), and their jerks too. read more

It's not poisonous only because of the ingredients! If this was a Chinese restaurant - we'd be counting casualties. The pace looks like you are back in the 90s. And not b/c of swagger, but more of the half empty shelves with "we are shutting down" look. I tried a few things. Everything was sub-par. Cookies were stale and didn't taste good (COOKIES!) Cake pops were bland and unbecome. Owners had an attitude, like everyone describes. They should just sell this place to someone with a clue how to bake, and less disdain for customers. When I suggested their cookies were NOTHING like the Italian counterpart they were clearly named after (pignoli) I was met with genuine surprise. "Have you been to Little Italy?" question was met with disgust and a resound "NO!" Pignoli cookies were raw (hence the weird white color you'll see). Chocolate almond cookies (3rd grader can make) were inedible. The most exciting type of cake: Cake pops - were boring! Want cookies - go to Trader Joes. The worst cookies there are 10x better than anything this place has! Shoprite has better baking department! This place has no business of being in business! Would not come here again. read more
