The Cake Stand

The Cake Stand did the cake for my wedding and I was not disappointed. She worked with me well throughout the process, was extremely reasonably priced, and was very polite. The cake was absolutely gorgeous at the wedding, was exactly what I wanted, and tasted great!

I’m very disappointed with this cake business and its owner. Prior to my early March wedding I contacted Lauren, the owner, and ordered my cake. We agreed on when I needed my cake delivered to the downtown hotel where my wedding and reception were scheduled to take place. Since the hotel is very strict about the exact time one can have access to the reception room, I informed Lauren that it was important my cake be delivered at a certain time. She agreed. Well, about four days before my wedding I received a call from Lauren who wanted to know if she could deliver the cake earlier than originally agreed because she didn’t want to miss her son’s birthday party. She told me the cake was already made. Of course, this put me in a panic and added extra stress on top of what is already a very stressful occasion for any bride-​to-​be. When I reminded her about our agreement and the hotel’s strict policies, she snapped at me and made all kinds of excuses why she couldn’t deliver the cake to the hotel as originally agreed. After the phone call I started crying from anger and stress of dealing with this difficult woman. To make a long story short, on the day of the wedding my mother had to drive to the hotel several hours early in order to be there to accept delivery of the cake and smooth things over with the hotel management. To make matters worse, the cake was dry when we served it, which was not surprising since the cake had been made four days earlier. How can anyone expect a cake to taste moist and fresh when it’s made so many days in advance? I would not recommend this business to anyone, and I use the word «business» loosely because of the owner’s lack of professionalism. Submitted on behalf of my niece, Teri.

Lauren, your cakes are phenomenal and you have a true talent! Based on a 5 minute conversation, you crafted the most wonderful, and delicious tasting 60^th Birthday cake for my mother. It helped make the celebration that much more special. Many thanks to you and your husband for such a wonderful crafted and deliciously tasting treat!

We ordered a cake for a first birthday party. It was exactly as requested & just gorgeous. When ordered we were afraid it was too big — it was so delicious we ate every crumb. Highly recommend for special occasions and whenever you want perfect cake.

Absolutely amazing cupcakes. They are not open at all hours, so definitely plan ahead. We picked up a sample while on a trip to Folly before our wedding. Everything was amazing. We chose the vanilla with vanilla icing and chocolate with chocolate icing. They were a huge hit at the wedding.

I’ve been passing by this road for countless numbers of times and have always been curious about this place. Reading the reviews on here, I was beyond excited to give it a try. So my daughter’s and I went there today at 410 pm only to find that the doors were locked and no one was in sight (apart from another excited potential customers who too, was disappointed to find that the store was closed). We checked the website and it’s supposed to be open. So we called and left a voice mail — never heard from them. Voicemail had no store hours mentioned either. Just… disappointed.

Don’t know how the cake tasted because we never got it. Very disappointed in the level of follow-​up and service I received from Lauren. I’m trying to order a wedding cake for my wedding, but I am not local and had to call in my order. I left a message on day one (last Monday-​ish), it was returned with a voicemail the next day (not bad). In the message, she referred me to her email address and asked for more clarity on what I wanted and that she would call me back later. I sent her an email AND called her back. I heard nothing from her and called her again three days later. To date, I’ve not heard a word from her. I don’t think this is very professional at all. My timeline was tight and now I’m in an even harder spot since the calls or emails were not returned.
However, the Charleston Bakery was very helpful. Very accommodating and timely service.

The source of my absolute favorite cupcakes. I pick some up every time I am in town. I have had multiple friends serve wedding cakes made by them at their weddings as well which were gorgeous and delicious.

The Cake Stand and Lauren were very easy to work with over the phone for a custom cupcake order. I wish I lived in the neighborhood to try their adorable cakes.

I worked with the cake stand for our wedding cake 2 years ago! They did the most incredible job. Last year, we were on our honeymoon and didn’t get to do the traditional «eat the top of your cake» so we decided to save it for our second anniversary which was yesterday. I pulled it out of the freezer sure it would be freezer burnt and disgusting after 2 years. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The cake tasted AMAZING! Still! After 2 years! I was so impressed, I just had to share :)

The Cake Stand has the most amazing cakes. Try the caramel with Italian meringue frosting. But if you can’t decide (because there are so many flavors) then try a few of the mini cakes! They are just perfect for a dessert for two. They cakes are priced decently too. The sweetest couple owns the store and so they usually meet you at the store to drop off your cake to you. If they were always in the storefront, I’d probably be fat from all of the cakes I would stop and buy,
