It was the best wedding cake i have ever tasted and it looked wonderful too. I've seen beautiful cakes that taste awful and I didn't have this experience and neither did my guests. They are still raving about my cake.

So, I read the reviews on A Cake to Remember and decided to go with this vendor without having tasted the cake or even meeting the owner in person! LOL ... well before the actual wedding, I was able to make it to a tasting and I was SO happy that we had chosen to go with the company. The cakes are SOOO good, the combinations are delicious and the wedding day cake did NOT disappoint. I would highly recommend this vendor for cakes, she makes absolutely beautiful designs and the homemade cakes (no box mixes -- this was really important to me!!!) are incredibly delicious!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

My husband and I had the easiest time picking our cake vendor the second we met with Kara. Not only did her down to earth personality put us right at ease, but her beautiful cakes tasted as amazing as they looked! As the bride, I had a specific vision of what I wanted my cake to look like and she matched it absolutely perfectly! I had no doubt in my mind that the cake would be gorgeous and it turned out it was! I loved my cake because it looked like the lace on my dress and the spice flavor added to the festive season! Kara is extremely skilled and easy to work with - you will have no problem getting the exact cake you want if you go with her for your wedding! Thanks so much!

Kara Buntin is a PHENOMENAL BAKER AND PERSON! Everyone was SO pleased with the cake and what it looked liked and tasted like!! Kara is the best in town!! Her prices are phenomenal too and she doesnt charge extra for little details here and there...and since I was a picky bride, that was a good thing for me!!! I HIGHLY recommend Kara Buntin at A cake to remember for ANY event you are having--not JUST a wedding!! Suzanne and David LayneMarried November 13, 2010

Kara Buntin of A Cake to Remember made me the most delicious wedding cake I have ever had! She has an amazing variety of flavors and combinations to choose from and is perfectly happy to let you mix and match as you like! I planned my wedding long-distance and Kara was so easy to work with. We managed to do a tasting while we were visiting home, but everything else was handled by email or phone. I gave her a rough idea of what I wanted it to look like, showed her my cake topper and chose my flavors and fillings, and my guests were absolutely delighted with the cake! It was definitely a crowd pleaser. Kara delivered it to the location and set everything up perfectly, she was simply marvelous in every way! I can't want to order our 1 year anniversary cake!!

Kara! David and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding cake! You did an amazing job and all our guests delightfully enjoyed it. You were very prompt in responding to us since we were planning from St. Louis but having the wedding in Virginia. You were wonderful to work with!! Thank you again!!

Kara Buntin is phenomenal! I changed the design of my cake from the initial consult three weeks before the wedding and she was so flexible! She has a great sense of humor and responded to any questions I had in a prompt manner. The guests loved the taste of the cake and it was absolutely beautiful. I loved how she didn't charged per slice like other bakers in the area.

We enjoyed working with Kara to create just the right wedding cake and just the right groom's cake for our daughter's wedding this past December. The wedding cake was beautiful and since it was a December wedding, we designed it to look like three packages stacked on top of each other with a beautiful red bow (made out of icing) tying them together. The groom's cake was a 3-D basketball with the Lakers (our son-in-law's favorite team) logo on it. Both cakes were incredible to look at, but tasted even better than than we could imagine. The reviews from the guests were wonderful. And to top all of this off, we had a huge snow storm in Richmond the night before and day of the wedding. Kara braved the icy streets and snow to deliver the groom's cake Friday night to the rehearsal dinner and the wedding cake Saturday night to our wedding location in Ashland. Kudos to Kara! We would recommend her cake services to everyone.

Kara did such a fantastic job with the wedding cake! Each tier was a different flavor and everyone loved it so much that there was no cake left over at the end of the night. We got rave reviews for the best wedding cake that everyone ever tasted! Kara was able to take our vision and make it a reality and we would recommend her to anyone!

Can't recommend Kara enough. The cake was as delicious as it was beautiful. People raved. We had one layer almond and raspberry and the other was banana and chocolate cake with caramel filling. Everything is completely from scratch and you can taste the difference! Kara was fantastic to work with.

I highly recommend A Cake to Remember to ANYONE looking for a delicious and beautiful wedding cake at a great price! Kara is great! I told her what I wanted a striped cake for our wedding. She had never done one before but she figured it out and it was awesome. I also wanted to surprise my husband with a "sushi" groom's cake, she had never even eaten sushi before. When I presented him with the groom's cake he was totally surprised and loved it. There were actually people who said, "That's kind of gross. Why would you put sushi on a cake?!" I told them that it was ALL cake and safe to eat. (I will go back to her for any other "special" cakes that I need.)

Kara - cakes - soooo yummy! She wasn't as "warm and fuzzy" when I first met her compared to one of the other people that I interviewed, but her prices were MUCH better, she could do the grooms cake like a wanted (decorated with icing, not a "screenprint" of a picture), she had tons of experience! Very business like, so I trusted that things were going to get done right....and it did!! My cakes tasted better than the samples she gave me, and she had tons of different flavors of cakes, creams, fillings, etc to choose from. She worked wonderfully with my florist (real flowers on cake). My cakes looked exactly as I had pictured them in my head. And everyone at the wedding said the cakes tasted wonderful...and continued to talk about them for a while after!! Wonderful experience...would recommend again and again.

Our wedding cake was absolutely beautiful!!!! Kara was so easy to work with and she was so accomodating (I changed my design a few times) :) I found a picture online and she re-created it perfectly. My cake was exactly what I imagined and more! My husband and I chose three different flavors for our cake and each one was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend A Cake to Remember. The name says it all!!

Kara does an excellent job and can make pretty much any type of cake you want! She made a beautiful cake for our wedding, but I was a bit disappointed in the color. I had wanted a darker shade of pink and green on the cake, and even gave her a picture of exactly the colors I wanted and it ended up being way too pastel for my taste. The cake was one of the things that I COULD NOT WAIT to see because I really wanted it to stand out and I was hoping people would oooh and aaah at it. It was a beautiful cake, but it was kind of a let-down when I saw it. Kara is a joy to work with though and she's probably one of the best in Richmond. I just wish I had felt happier about the end result.

We had difficulty finding a baker who could do a smaller, three tier square cake (the first baker we interviewed said the smallest one they could do was 135 servings!). We had heard great things about Kara Buntin, but I had contacted her about delivering to my original site, and she didn't deliver that far out. But now, with the change to the Winery, she could deliver to us! She always answered my emails quickly, and she was great to work with. The cake was perfect, and was exactly what we had discussed (I donÂ’t know who can take credit for the actual decoration on the cakeÂ…it was provided by our florist, but I donÂ’t know who physically placed it on the cake). We knew we would have tons of cake left over (94 servings for 55 people!), but we were surprised to see that the whole middle layer of chocolate fudge cake was completely gone by the end of the night! If you want a reasonably priced, delicious wedding cake, Kara is a great option. She also does amazing groomÂ’s cakes!

Kara Buntin is fantastic! I highly recommend working with her. She has a wide range of flavors to choose from and she does amazing work! She's super reliable and goes above and beyond. You DO NOT have to worry that she won't deliver! I visited with a number of potential vendors for this, and by far she was the best price with the most options to choose from!
