Wedding Cake Recs - Charleston Area?
Ladies,
My husband and I are getting ready to celebrate our first anniversary. Since getting married, we have relocated to the Charleston area. The bakery where we got our original wedding cake in Arlington, VA gave us a free anniversary cake as part of our package. Since we are no longer living there, we will not be able to take advantage of that. All of that being said, I'd like to order a very small cake locally to enjoy on our first wedding anniversary.
Does anyone have any recommendations on where to get a tasty, simple, and relatively inexpensive cake?
Thanks!
Re: Wedding Cake Recs - Charleston Area?
Don't think that they are too wedding cake-ish, but have you ever been to Saffron (on East Bay)? they have amazing cakes.
You could also try Whole Foods, they have awesome cakes as well!
I didn't get married here, so I can only suggest what I know of now.
If you have your heart set on getting an entire cake, I would check out The Cake Stand on James Island if you don't want to go the grocery store route. I remember them having mini cakes. You could even get one of those giant cupcakes at Cupcake. Kaminski's has amazing desserts, but I am not sure it would be reasonably priced to get a whole cake from there.
I bet Publix or Whole Foods (as PP mentioned) would have something tasty, simple and realitvely inexpensive.
If you are just looking for a slice of cake or awesome desserts in general, I have a whole bunch of places I could recommend. Especially if you want an ice cream cake which happens to be my favorite.
Thank you both for the advice! I'll check these places out. I did think about getting a giant cupcake. That could be fun.
I really appreciate it!
Michelle at Piggly Wiggly in Seaside Farms in Mount Pleasant is terrific! She did our wedding and grooms cake- layers of brownies with cheesecake filling, topped with shaved chocolate and it was delicious! Our wedding cake was also fantastic- our favorite layer was hazelnut with chocolate hazelnut filling.
And she is cheaper than any other vendor that I checked in Charleston.
