Buttercream Dreams did an amazing job on our cake! She made the tasting experience special and gave us exactly what we were asking for on our wedding day. The cake was delicious and the design was beautiful.
Our experience with Buttercream Dreams was wonderful! We opted to go with a four tier cake ( 2 layers snickerdoodle, 1 layer classic white, 1 layer mocha chocolate) and personalized cookies for our guests to enjoy as a parting favor. The cake and the cookies were both equally delicious. Thank you for being apart of making our big day come true! Highly recommend!
Carrie made us a delicious wedding cake and decorated it beautifully! We provided Carrie with the decorations for the cake and she turned it to a masterpiece! Thank you Carrie for making our wedding special.
Carrie was an absolute pleasure to work with and an amazingly talented baker. She baked us the most delicious and adorable wedding cake (which was styled like a birch tree) and three different flavors of cupcakes for our wedding. We also decided we wanted to order pie from her, and she helped us troubleshoot and found another local baker to make my wedding pie dreams come true! All of our guests raved about the taste of everything - my dad is STILL talking about the almond wedding cake. She even came to our venue in the middle of Shenandoah National Park to deliver and set up our picture perfect wedding dessert spread.
Carrie was also just a wonderful and warm person. She was easy to get in touch with if we had questions, and coming to her home for our tasting was one of the most fun wedding-related activities we did (aside from the wedding itself, of course!). I am so glad we found her!
Thank you for our incredible wedding cake, Buttercream Dreams, LLC!!!! Carrie was BEYOND a joy to work with from the initial phone call to our amazing tasting & guidance on creating the cake of your dreams within our budget & providing well beyond what we thought we could afford to her gorgeous attention to detail to our guests rave reviews, she is kind, fun to be around, informative & super-competent & did everything beyond perfectly! The tasting was FUN & generous! It was hard to choose, but we went with Dark Chocolate with Mocha Buttercream Icing, Lemon with Raspberry Cream Cheese Buttercream Icing & Almond with Cherry Preserves (Jam?). All of them were awesome! There are so many things that can go wrong with weddings, but I never worried for a moment about our cake! :D The only thing that went wrong is catering didn't send us home with nearly enough leftovers! ;) Brides and grooms- definitely request all of the extra cake if anyone leaves any, because you'll be sad not to have more of the cake & people will ask for it! ;D And if anyone is wondering if it's worth a drive from Richmond or beyond to Weyer's Cave, a thousand times, yes, it is!

Carrie Ashton went above and beyond for our wedding cake and sweet treats. I brought a few inspiration pictures to the initial consultation and she was able to recreate the essence of the designs perfectly- going as far as to HAND PAINT the marbling detail on the cake! I had raving reviews from my guests about her delicious cake, cookies, and brownies. I would easily book with her again!
We had our wedding cake, welcome bag cookies and wedding cupcakes baked by Carrie and we absolutely loved them! Beautiful presentation and taste. My husband and I highly recommend going to her for your event baking needs!
We ordered our wedding cake, cupcakes, and a surprise birthday cake for my now husband through Buttercream Dreams and everything was perfect! Our tasting was by far, the most fun part of the entire wedding planning process and we had lots of favorite flavor combinations, it was difficult to narrow down choices but Carrie helped with that as well. We ended up going with a dark chocolate cutting cake with peanut butter buttercream frosting for our wedding cake, snickerdoodle cupcakes (which our guests devoured), dark chocolate cupcakes, and almond cupcakes with almond buttercream frosting. Everything was delicious and Carrie was so helpful with advice on the color of our cake (which was a rich, emerald green) and helping me surprise my now husband with his birthday cake which he loved and was thrilled to have his own cake. She worked great with our other vendors and we found her very reasonably priced as well. Highly recommend her for any baked goods in any future events.
Carrie was wonderful to work with and was very friendly. She made the most beautiful cake for our wedding day and it tasted amazing. We received so many compliments throughout the evening from our guests about how delicious the cake was. Carrie worked with my florist to create the floral design on the cake. At the beginning of the process, Carrie sent us small batches of cakes, icing, and jam through the mail to taste test since we are not local to the area. The price of the cake was great for the quality. I would definitely recommend Buttercream Dreams to anyone looking for a delicious and beautiful cake. My husband and I can't wait to eat the top tier on our anniversary!
Carrie was great to work with for our June 2022 wedding. She was very detail oriented and wanted to make sure all the colors matched our wedding scheme. She was able to make us a tasting box prior to choosing, and it was so hard to choose flavors because they were all amazing! She helped me figure out how many cupcakes I would need based on guest count and cake size. Her pricing is very fair and she is prompt and courteous! We cant wait to celebrate our one year anniversary with our saved top tier!
