We worked with Charm City to create a replica of Giants Stadium (Meadowlands) as the grooms cake. It was AMAZING! People stood and looked at it for hours - literally. The attention to detail was amazing and everyone did an great job getting it perfect. This vendor was a pleasure to work with! Although it was expensive, it was very very cool to have at our wedding!

Had the groom's car made as a surprise groom's cake. Working with the team was very easy, the pumpkin cinnamon cake was delicious, and the cake itself was just amazing. It was absolutely worth the price I paid to see the surprised look on his face and to hear the great compliments from all of our guests. We couldn't even eat it until after the reception because we were too in love with it.

Charm City Cakes created my wedding cake and my grooms cake. The grooms cake was a lego castle equipped with a lego bride and groom and even an alligator! Their attention to detail and ability to turn my silly idea into a magnificent cake was amazing!For our wedding cake, we went the more traditional route and it was equally as amazing! We had five layers and wanted five different flavors and they didn't mind doing that for us! They were very accomodating and responsive!The flavors are also INCREDIBLE! Everyone raved about how good it tasted :)

Not only did our cake look amazing, but it was also delicious. The cake was beautifully sculpted to be exactly what we requested. Everyone gushed about the appearance of the cake and then devoured it. There wasn't a single piece left over at the end of the night. Beautiful, unique, but best of all, delicious. Charm City was professional and a provided a fun experience in selecting our wedding cake. We would highly recommend them.

Our wedding cake was a HUGE hit!! It was absolutely perfect. Meeting with Elena and discussing the design was so much fun! It was definitely one a very memorable experience. Our topper was personalized right down to my hair style and dress! The cake design was beautiful and it tasted fantastic! Graham was so great about answering questions and getting all the details from us to make everything perfect! We chose our venue so that we could get a Charm City Cakes wedding cake and it ended up being everything we could of wanted!

Charm city cakes was amazing. They worked with us to develop our dream cake. The design process was a lot of fun. I had found a cake on the internet I liked andthen added in a few details of my own. I would just tell them what I liked and they made it happen. I also had a grooms cake made and that was amazing. It was real hit at my wedding. My groom was very happy with his star trek cake. They seemed very excited about my groom cake. It was a little expensive but worth every penny. I would use them for other occasions in the future.

What can one say? Charm city cakes didn't get their own TV show by making " average cakes ". Our cake was FABULOUS! It was so close to what we had envisioned , that I swear they read my mind. It was a very moist, tasty pumpkin cinnamon five-tier extra tall square- rotating matte chocolate cake with hazelnut butter cream frosting. Communication was EXCELLENT & swift -- at all times, not at ALL the " too busy because we have a show " sort of thing at ALL. Always VERY personalized, professional & extremely easy to get along with WONDERFUL group of artists & staff. Set up was right on time & our wedding guests were simply FLOORED by it.

Charm City Cakes did such a tremendous job with our wedding cake! Everyone was completely blown away by the attention to detail and the fabulous cake topper. We initially met with Mary and she was great. We came in with some general ideas and some magazine pictures and she sketched out a design. She really helped us take our big vague ideas and get them down onto paper. We really wanted to incorporate elements of Baltimore into an elegant wedding cake. In the end we decided on a cake topper that had us sitting on a bench on Federal Hill Park with the Baltimore skyline as the backdrop and famous Baltimore signs on the other tiers of the cake. We sent them a picture of us and the likeness of the cake topper figures was spot on! There are definitely some very talented individuals working for Charm City Cakes!We really felt that the people making the cake wanted it to be the best that it could be. One of the cake tiers was supposed to have yellow and white candy lettering spelling our names, but the grocery stores did not have the correct color candy. We got a call from Charm City Cakes a few days before the wedding to let us know and that they were going to make candy letters out of fondant to look like the correct colored candy lettering. I can only imagine the time it took to put everyone of those little dots on the lettering. We really felt that was going above and beyond!Not only was the appearance of the cake awesome, but the cake itself was so delicious! We were able to take home samples of flavors we had selected at the initial meeting and every flavor was so delicious it was almost hard to narrow them down!The cost of Charm City Cakes is a little pricey. We were fortunate enough to have them make our cake as part of our wedding package at the Renaissance Hotel. However, for what they provide they are definitely worth it!Loved, loved, loved working with Charm City Cakes!

We met with Chef Duff in April and we went over sketches for the cake. He went over each detail and was great fun to work with. We were instructed to order special flowers for the cake - which we did. We were contacted by the bakery a week or so before and all of the details were finalized. The cake arrived on time and by the time the wedding party was done getting ready the cake was finished and in place. It was picture perfect - it looked like a stack of wrapped gifts covered in roses with a big burgundy bow. It was absolutely stunning. Thank you Duff and all the folks at Charm City Cakes.

When we decided to have our wedding in Baltimore, we immediately thought about getting our cake from Charm City Cakes (admittedly, in large part due to their Food Network show, "Ace of Cakes"). Not surprisingly, their cakes are more expensive than the average baker, but I must say that we felt we got our money's worth, and then some!First, the experience of ordering a cake was wonderful. The staff is responsive, respectful, and very professional. Our cake consultation went very smoothly; Anna was able to take our ideas about having a crossword-themed cake and she designed a cake that reflected exactly what we were looking for. On the day of the wedding, we and our guests were blown away by the cake! It looked amazing, and it was so unique and special to us. And--most importantly--the cake was DELICIOUS! Whenever a food product is made creatively into something beautiful, one always wonders whether it actually TASTES good. We are still getting comments from guests about how delicious the cake was! We cannot wait to dig into what's left on our first anniversary.Again, we feel we got more than our money's worth, and would recommend Charm City Cakes to anyone looking for a unique cake design.

We used Charm City Cake for our wedding cake. We wanted something different but still unique and boy did charm city deliver. Our cake was AMAZING!!! We had a ton of compliments. Not to mention it tasted fantastic, we had 5 different flavors (brownie, smores, pumpkin chocolate chip, lemon) and all were crazy. I would recommend Charm City Cakes to everyone they were amazing and really gave us that WOW factor at the wedding. AWESOME vendor!

We are big fans of the Ace of Cake show, so as soon as we were engaged I contacted Charm City Cakes to inquire about a our wedding cake. If you love the food network like we do then you may have seen the show "Ace of Cakes." We are hooked on the show and my wife never expected they would be doing our wedding cake until I told her about that is who I booked. I got online and saw that they had our wedding date available. All it took was an email, phone call and our consultation with Duff. He helped us design the wedding cake which was a vision in my head to the reality when we saw it at our wedding reception. The cake was a combination of different symbolic items which tied my wife and I together. We had about 100 guests and we probably had enough cake for 150!!! It was well worth the expense to make a dream become a reality.

I got online and realized they had our wedding date availalbe. All it took was one email and phone call. We had a consultation with Duff, he helped us design the wedding cake of our dreams. Our wedding was beach themed and the cake matched our theme perfectly. We had approximately 115 guests and we probably had enough cake for 400!!! It was beautiful, unique and delicious.

Charm City Cakes made the Groom's Cake. They did a fantastic job! I was very detailed and particular about what I wanted - it was to be a very unusual cake. It was, also, a surprise to my husband. He knew he was getting the cake, just not what it was. They did a wonderful job working with me on the details. They made sure that they got every little detail that I asked for. When the cake came, I was stunned. It was better than I had even imagined. Everyone loved the cake, itself. My husband chose Bananas Foster, for the cake. I believe they cater to picky people, because their selection of cake flavors is the largest I've ever seen. No matter how picky someone is, they'll be able to find a cake flavor they like from Charm City Cakes.

I feel blessed to have had my cake made by someone who was able to capture my vision for the cake and make it a reality. While not as crazy as some of the cakes he's made (and which I think are absolutely fabulous) my cake was a departure from the traditional. Everything from the flavors (brownie and carrot) to the icing color, to the details was perfect. It was one more element that helped make my wedding everything I dreamed.Also, they were willing and able to adjust the size of the cake right up to the last minute as we finalized our guest count.

Duff and his team created the most beautiful Mehndi (Henna) design cake for my Islamic wedding. I was able to give him my vision and colors and he worked his magic and the cake was delicious.
