Our decorated wedding cake and guest sheet cakes were beautiful and so tasty. They were very professional, knowledgeable and a great value.

Yesterday, I stopped by Candle Ready Cakes, and it was a great experience! The macarons were flawless, and the gluten-free cupcakes were delicious. The new store is charming as well. I highly recommended for anyone with a sweet tooth!

We have been ordering cakes from Candle Ready since we moved to the area 7 years ago. We've always had great experiences until this year. At Christmastime I ordered the cookie decorating kit. The website showed large, doughy sugar cookies but what we received were thin, crispy, image pressed, small cookies. The frosting consistencies were off too. Having had the gourmet Java cake a few years ago and loving it, I decided to do it again. Unfortunately the cake was dry almost like it had been refrigerated or frozen for a long time? Every piece fell apart in dry chunks. We were all disappointed with it. I'm not sure if something has changed with the move or bakers? I will probably give it one more try. They offer a lot of fun options.

I scheduled a pick up on Valentine's day for cupcakes. The store was busy, but I waited less than a minute to be greeted by the owner with a smile. Convenient and fast pick up for a great product my kids and wife love.Dietary restrictions: Great gluten-free cupcake options.

Ordered 8 dozen cupcakes for our wedding and zero leftover! Every flavor was super delicious (guest reviews) and the ones I had were very delicious also. So moist and each one filled!

100% recommend! They delivered 84 cupcakes and a 2 tier cake to my wedding on Saturday and they did amazing. Delivery was great and before I knew it the cupcakes were gone. Got rave reviews from guests everyone asked where I got them.

I’m so happy with how “moo-velous” Gentry’s first cake turned out! Communication with the team was an ease, and they truly delivered an amazing product!
