    Bought my husband's 50th birthday cake in February. It was so delicious I did not wish to share it!

    Huge thanks to Karen and team for a wonderful Paw Patrol themed cake. My son absolutely loved that his favourite character was on it. I made the request to slightly change a cake that they had on their website and it turned out great. Delicious inside and beautiful on the outside. Thank you!

    Our church wanted to present two of our members with a cake to celebrate their Silver Wedding anniversary. We found Karen's Cake's online and were drawn to the simplicity of the website and the ease of ordering what we wanted. The whole experience was superb! Fantastically easy to order online, great communication from the company, and really useful advise on storing and transporting the cake. Not only did the cake look great, but it also tasted delicious too! It cut like a dream, was easy to serve to multiple people and made celebrating a really special event so enjoyable. Just wanted to say THANK YOU to Karen's Cakes - you did a wonderful job!

    I cannot recommend Karens Cakes highly enough. We recently ordered 2 cakes for a christening. Communication was excellent and they did everything they could to accommodate our wishes. The cakes were absolutely beautiful and so many people commented on how delicious they were. We will be using them again for upcoming birthdays.

    We chose Karen’s Cakes for our wedding in August and the cake was stunning! It was so easy to arrange collection and despite the heat the cake did really well throughout the day. Everyone commented on how delicious the cake was and we are very much looking forward to eating the top tier next year. The shop was incredibly helpful and to make it easier for us to decide, they sent us some tasters. We went with the lemon cake with lemon icing which was delicious!
