I recently placed an order with Sweets By Charlene for my son and daughter in law for their baby shower. The ham biscuits, the deviled eggs and cupcakes were so good! She also did some desserts for their wedding last November...amazing!

I had a very special order to place. I needed a carrot cake for my mother's 90th birthday celebration and Charlene did not disappoint. It was three-tiered with yummy cream frosting and a heavy sprinkle of chopped walnuts on top. It was thoroughly enjoyed by my family and some opted to have a second piece for breakfast. I highly recommend Charlene for your bakery sweets.

Charlene is AMAZING. We were visiting from out of state and my husband had a simple request for his birthday cake: yellow cake, chocolate frosting. Well, Charlene made it magical, it was delicious! I have never had such a moist, rich cake. Everyone in the family agreed. We immediately wanted to try everything Charlene makes and my husband requested we get a pineapple upside down cake to take home with us!

Charlene did the cake for my boyfriend's 50th birthday. She was very responsive to my email messages and went above and beyond to work with me when the cake topper from amazon arrived with a typo. It was a simple chocolate cake with chocolate cream cheese icing, but it was moist and delicious. I highly recommend Charlene!

Sweets by Charlene is by far the best baker I have found! Not only is everything delicious, she makes every item beautiful. I have used Charlene for work events, family gatherings, gifts and of course for myself! I would recommend Sweets by Charlene to anyone. If you are looking for a quality baker, she's the one to contact.

I found Charlene on line when trying to find a bakery to get cupcakes for a family gathering to celebrate my son's 25th birthday. We are from out of state and were sort of flying blind. Charlene returned my calls promptly and we talked about what I wanted and what she could do. My son wanted lemon and vanilla, but I wanted some chocolate in the mix, too. We settled on 1 dozen lemon curd with butter cream frosting, 1 dozen vanilla with chocolate cream cheese frosting, and 1 dozen chocolate with regular cream cheese frosting. OMG every flavor was fabulous!!! The group favorite was the lemon (Charlene even put little beer steins decorations on them, which was perfect for a 25 year old young man. The chocolate cupcakes has little chocolate chips in them. The vanilla cupcakes were so great (not at all bland like so many vanilla cupcakes) and the chocolate frosting was like fudge !!!! YUMMMM!! I would

There is no way for me to say enough about the goodies I ordered from Charlene or the customer service she provided. I traveled from SC by plane to Kilmarnock, VA and needed food for a covered dish I was to attend in Walkerton, VA. I was not about to try to make the food at home and transport it on the plane, so I googled "sweets/desserts" in the Kilmarnock area, and my first hit was "Sweets by Charlene". After seeing the images of her concoctions on the home page, I was pretty much sold, not knowing anything other than what I saw on the website. After speaking with her by phone, my order was definite. Charlene is extremely accommodating. She provided a list of what she believed were some of her specialties and I chose from her list. She can truly make anything as I told her the list did not have to include sweets only. I ordered her onion dip which she told me was truly popular, her carrot cake, and key lime tarts for something a little different. The onion dip disappeared so fast it was as if it was the only appetizer at the event. The tarts melted in my mouth. The carrot cake I purchased for my daughter who was also attending could not have been lighter or more flavorful and was appealing to the eye. I truly hope I have another excuse to make use of Charlene's services in the future.You cannot go wrong ordering her creations. A.O.

We were visiting Irvington. We needed to celebrate a birthday. Charlene gave us a wonderful cake. Our birthday girl had requested pineapple upside down cake (not the most typical). Charlene took it in stride. The cake was meticulously constructed. The flavor was superb: several tough as nails dieters had seconds. Charlene took the cake to the next level with a small addition of crunchy bits of (?) sugar on top - a bit of artistic bravura that she pulled off without a hitch. Carlene made this birthday a special celebration with an extraordinary cake. The price seemed generally reasonable for a custom cake.

I ordered a birthday cake from Charlene. We were visiting the area and we were able to communicate through phone/email to place order and arrange dropoff/payment. Unfortunately I didn't get to meet Charlene, but the cake was delicious and a fair price. I would definitely reach out to her again if visiting the area. Charlene was very good about timely communication.
