    She’s awesome! But she retired

    She was absolutely a gem! But she retired from her business. Wishing her lots of luck!

    Wonderful Wonderful!!!

    Tammy’s cake and cupcakes were the “Icing on the top” of a most wonderful day! This was a destination wedding for our daughter who lives in Austin, so my husband and I were privileged to get to meet Tammy and do the tasting of cakes fillings and frostings. What a great way to spend a Saturday morning! We could not decide on three cupcake flavors, so we added a fourth. Since none of our family lives in. Charleston, we were pleased how responsive Tammy was by e-mail.
    The wedding was 2 days ago. Everything was more beautiful and every bit as delicious as we expected. My only regret was not being to hug Tammy and thank her in person!

    Cakes by Kasarda's reply:

    You're so welcome. It was such a joy working with you. I am so happy everything turned out great and that everyone enjoyed the cupcakes and cake. Please congratulate the happy couple for me. I look forward to working with you in the future. Best wishes to you and the family.

    Cheers,
    Tammy Kasarda – Pilch

    The best and delicious

    Cakes by Kasarda was by far our favorite vendor for our wedding! We got our wedding cake, cannolis, chocolate covered strawberries cookies and she even added banana pudding bites that weren’t even on her menu. Everything was delicious and a huge hit.

    Outstanding Quality and Attention to Detail

    We were thrilled with our 'Chesapeake Bay Steamed Crab' themed groom's cake for our son's wedding. Tammy embraced our vision for a cake that would pay homage to the groom's hometown of Baltimore and our affinity for steamed crabs, Ravens football and good times with friends and family. The cake was a huge hit and I am so happy with how it all turned out. Tammy is amazing and a joy to work with. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone.

    Most delicious cake EVER

    Wow! We had some cake connoisseurs at our wedding and they unanimously agreed that this was the BEST cake they have ever tasted. I usually despise red velvet cake, but somehow I ended up falling in love with the red velvet cake with a cookies and cream filling. Just typing this review is making my mouth water. If you want the most beautiful and tasty cake in the world, you've found the right baker!

    Sweet Perfection!

    From our initial tasting, I knew Cakes by Kasarda would be a sweet addition to our special wedding day!!

    All of her cake and icing flavors were absolutely delicious! There is truly a flavor for everyone! We chose your classic vanilla and chocolate for the base tier and the sweet potato for the top tier. The sweet potato and honey cinnamon filling was AMAZING!

    Tammy is a pleasure to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable and talented. Her years of talent and cake skills are out of this world. You will not be disappointed.

    I highly recommend Cakes by Kasarda for your wedding and special event needs! Yum!!

    The best cake!!

    I would highly recommend Cakes by Kasarda. Tammy so easy to work with and she perfectly executed our dream wedding cake! Not to mention that the flavors were delicious and more robust/complex compared to some of the other bakeries we tried. If you’re in the market for a wedding or specialty cake, look no further!

    Wedding cake

    I ordered a small cutting cake for our wedding and the cake turned out beautifully! It was a simple design, but looked so elegant. My husband and family and I tasted the cake and absolutely loved the flavor! It was a hit! Thank you Cakes by Kasarda for the wonderful wedding cake!

    Beautiful 50th Anniversary Cake!

    I worked with Tammy to create a cake for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. It was exactly what I had envisioned - it was beautiful and delicious. The cake fed my entire extended family for an entire week and was very reasonably priced. Tammy was very responsive and delivered the cake to us on time. She is very professional. I would definitely use her again for future events.

    Both Tammy and the Cake Were Amazing!

    My daughter and her fiance were so impressed with Tammy and her cake! As a cake lover, I had been looking forward to 2 or 3 cake tastings, but Tammy was our first and last. She had a number of flavors for us to taste and it was very obvious that she had her stuff together.

    Before we got off her porch, Jess and Grant had decided they wanted Tammy to bake their cake. Jessica gave Tammy a picture of a cake she liked, and was as excited about the cake as she was her dress!

    On the wedding day, Tammy came through with a gorgeous and delicious wedding cake. We cannot say enough great things about her (and her cake, of course!)

    Best wedding cake ever!

    Tammy did such an amazing job with our wedding cake. She was so easy to talk to and really brought my vision to life. I also had her help me with a surprise groom cake and it looked amazing! Everyone at the rehearsal dinner and wedding talked about how amazing the cakes tasted. I’m usually not fond of wedding cakes but this cake was so delicious! Tammy was also sweet enough to bring me cupcakes as a sweet addition to our wedding cake when she thought she had forgot to add in red velvet for the grooms cake layer. I would highly recommend her! Best cakes ever!

    Our dream wedding cake

    Tammy was absolutely wonderful to work with and baked/designed a delicious and beautiful wedding cake for us. From our initial inquiry, to tasting, to the wedding everything went smoothly and Tammy made the process extremely easy, especially considering we were planning our destination wedding from Florida. Tammy was able to do 2 layers of strawberry cake and a layer of lemon (because both were so delicious we couldn't decide) and the design was exactly what we wanted based off one single photo we showed her. Bravo!

    and diminished

    I live in Charlotte, NC, and the groom’s cake for my nephew that I custom ordered for the Charleston, SC, rehearsal dinner turned out perfectly. Tammy communicated promptly and continuously and absolved any reservations that I had about working with a baker from a a distance away. She created an exact replica of the cake design that I sent her and even gave me the contact information to order the figurine needed. I was especially pleased with the delivery from her bakery to the restaurant site. With all the rehearsal dinner details, it was such a relief to have the cake delivered. It was gorgeous, delicious, fresh and show stopping. Everyone LOVED IT. Five stars all the way. I would highly recommend her. She was very personable and caring. Cathy Bogarad

    Gifted hands…truly delicious.

    It’s been some time (2018)…Cakes by Kasarda (Owner: Tammy Pilch) did an amazing job for our wedding. A beautifully crafted and perfected red velvet, layered with her own blend of raspberry jam and topped with a decadent layer of REAL cream cheese. Our cake was draped in silk. Our wedding cakes was elegant, delicious, and moist. We’ve celebrated anniversaries with a smaller version and birthdays with cupcakes. Tammy was a delight to work with and chat with. I hate that the business is now closed/retired. She was truly the best to work with…friendly and professional with gifted hands and a wonderful craft. Love the Teachey’s!

    Delicious and beautiful!

    Our guests and family can't stop talking about our wedding cake (2 weeks later)...b/c it was delicious. Tammy was such a sweetheart and professional to work with. Tammy was responsive via email and phone, she priced out my design and one of her own creations that I loved on her website. I lived 3 hours away and arranged for my fiance to pick up a tasting box for us. It just happened to be the same week that Hurricane Florence was supposed to hit Charleston....so when my fiance evacuated to my house..he brought the tasting box with him.☺️ The tasting box made it easy for us to do our complete a tasting together...we were able to mix and match the flavors, fillings and icings to create our own combination. We fell in love with the Red Velvet Cake, Cream Cheese and Fresh Rasberry filling topped with Italian Buttercream icing. She provided the cake stand for a small fee and offered to find one if I didn't like it. The one on hand was perfect and saved me from having to search for anything else. Thank you Tammy from us both for such a delicious and beautiful wedding cake. We froze a few slices for two weeks and enjoyed them on New Year's.....it was just as delicious and moist. Perfect for us! I highly recommend Cakes by Kasarda. Pic below is from Tammy's website. I'll upload our cake photos soon!

    Tammy baked and designed our wedding cake to perfection! We had three tiers with each tier a different flavor - Italian wedding cake, red velvet, and chocolate with vanilla and peanut butter frosting. The red velvet is devine! She perfectly designed the cake according to my inspiration photo as well. I would highly reccomend Tammy!

    *** This is a birthday cake review not a wedding cake review. Tammy did my sons birthday cake for us, we were coming from Columbia the weekend of his 11th birthday to see a Stingrays game. I worked with her via the internet, made my order and picked it up when we arrived in Charleston. She made the most amazing cake(s) for him! Not only were they decorated to perfection, she also made 3 smaller cakes for his cousins who would be joining us for the birthday celebration. My son still talks about how good that cake was to this day! It was a yellow cake with Italian chocolate buttercream frosting. Well fast forward a few years and the same son is graduating from high school and wants to spend the week at Folly. My first thought was I need to call Cakes by Kasarda because I wouldn't serve any other cake for this special event!

    Beautiful and Delicious

    Tammy made my cake absolutely gorgeous but not only was it pretty, but it was also delicious! Working in catering, I've tried my fair share of cake and I knew more often than not, wedding cake is dry and bland. The opposite is true for Tammy's cakes! She was able to help me bring my vision for a cake to life and had amazing suggestions. Her flavors are unique and memorable and she has great talent!

    Cakes by Kasarda's reply:

    Thank you so much for your wonderful words. Congrats to the both of you and thank you so much for letting me be a special part of your day.
    Sweet wishes!
