ABSOLUTE PERFECTION EACH TIME!!! I wish I could give 10 stars!!! Carina is an artist! I am a portrait photographer who shoots cakesmashes daily and my sets are super elaborate, I NEED a perfect cake to match my themes and Carina never disappoints. The cakes are always made to perfection and the work is always clean! She is super accommodating especially since I am terrible at planning ahead at times. I am so happy to have met her! For all your sweet needs Carina e Dolce is your girl! 100% recommended her!

Delicious cake and amazing service. We wanted to pay tribute to our fur baby and Carina absolutely nailed it. We loved our wedding cake and the extra attention she gave to make sure it lived up to the vision we had for it!

I wanted to get my sister and her new fiancé a cake to celebrate their brand new engagement! It was 2 days before thanksgiving and this bakery made my cake at last minute and made it AMAZING. It had Oreo cheesecake filling and was delicious! One of the most wonderful ladies and so genuine! A must go to.

Is there a way I can rate it more than 5 stars? I tried to order with a very short notice and they were pretty busy specially this season. They said to me if I can wait to see if they can accommodate my order. Next day they messaged me and said they can so I was so happy. ❤ The cake looks fabulous and my baby ate all of the signs 😂

I can’t say enough about Andrea’s creative talent! I ordered cupcakes, cake pops, pretzels, and sugar cookies for my daughter-in-law’s baby shower. They were spectacular and a big hit with everyone. Everything was delicious and the detail on each piece was incredible. Not to mention everything was individually wrapped and ready in boxes for my 2 hour car ride. A huge thank you to Carina e Dolce!

Carina is the best! This beautiful cake was especially made for my wife for Mother’s Day! She not only perfected her favorite flavor, she got the color just right! (Pink is her favorite color) Thank you so much Carina! Always a pleasure working with you. Do not hesitate, she will not disappoint!

Ordered custom cookies for two events and was very impressed both times. After sending an idea for a doctors coat cookie, I was blown away with the end result! They went above and beyond! There was so much attention to detail on each and every cookie. Theyre almost too perfect to eat (but also taste great)!

The first cake Andrea has ever made for me was my daughter’s 1st birthday cake… she is 8 now and haven’t stopped ordering from Carina e Dolce. She has made all my kids birthday cakes. 8 total for my daughter and 8 for my son. As a owner of my own even planning business she is my #1 go to baker. I recommend her to all my clients, friends and family. Her cakes are not just gorgeous but delicious as well.

I planned my nieces birthday party very last minute. I called on a Wednesday and asked for a unicorn cake for that Friday, literally only two days and they said YES! I must say, the cake was absolutely gorgeous and it tasted amazing! My niece loved it and so did everyone else at the party. Highly recommend this place!

My wedding cake was a complete disaster! I was completely disappointed seeing as this was one vendor I seemed so confident with at first! The images on our cake were one third of the size they should have been, the images were incorrect we ended up with two silhouette pictures which we when asked I advised I was The Hans and Laia silhouette heads on the top layer ying yang in the middle and do or do not at the bottom. so she slapped the image we actually wanted on the cardboard cake holder which was supposed to be a gold cake stand we were borrowing from her- clearly written on our details contract from day 1! The ying yang sign was ripped and upside down the coloring in the photos was grayish toned for some reason. We were missing all of the details we discussed for the front of the cake like the heart with I love u I know also written on our details contract from our booking! This was suppose to be a birch tree reveal cake with fondant just as the pulled back birch to reveal the photos there was buttercream slapped everywhere! This looked nothing like a birch tree! This cake was not what we discussed had a bad feeling something like this would happen when I reached out to Andrea for final details and it was very rushed I understand being busy but I am also a customer and this should not have happened on my wedding day!

I want to share my bad experience with the cake Carina e Dolce prepared for my daughters graduation .Our first conversation to request the cake for this event was over the phone. She informed me that because of her busy schedule and that I was a previous client that all I needed to do was text you the picture of the cake, flavors and she would take care of it as you did from my previous daughters graduation party. I reconfirmed a week prior to the occasion if we were all set. She replied we were all set but that there is no delivery and no cake stand. Even though that was not expressed originally I was ok with it. When we came to pick it on the day of the celebration, she presented the cake to us. I said that this is not the cake we ordered. She said she never received the picture of the cake.Any professional who did not receive a picture of a cake for any occasion would have reached out by phone/text or email. That was never done so I presumed you had the correct information. The restaraunt manager at the event said that they could not even cut the bottom part of the cake cause it was not prepared correctly. Also the flavor was not the flavor we had requested as well. I had family and friends from all over the country for this and the cake is the center piece of this occasion. We were all extremely dissapointed. I will not refer this company to anyone else

Ordered a cake for mine and my sisters birthday and couldn’t be more happier with the results! Customer service is amazing, I wish I got the ladies name but she was super friendly and very helpful. Got the strawberry pink champagne with Carmel filling and my family loved it! Definitely one of the best cakes I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!! Pricing was also fair for the amount of cake.

Not only was our cake BEAUTIFUL AND DELICIOUS but Andrea sat with us for about an hour planning and going over EVERY little detail.

This was my first time using Carina e Dolce--and it was amazing!!! I was in a bind and placed the order later than I should have. The cake was absolutely beautiful, but more importantly delicious!!!!! I also ordered macaroons that were completely gone by the time we cut the cake--everyone raved about them!!! I was beyond satisfied with this bakery and will be using them again.

Made a last minute request & it was conquered. I never used this bakery nor did I know of anyone who personally had their cake from this shop, not to mention, I was a bit nervous bc my daughter is super picky. It was the best choice, her college grad cake was amazing! Not only did it look pretty, the texture & taste was delicious, definitely no regrets and I’ll be returning & certainly referring others🍰😋

Andrea is absolutely amazing. I have purchased several cakes, cupcakes, and cookies from Carina Dolce. Every flavor was outstanding. For several events, I have described to Andrea the reason for celebration and she has been able to creatively and deliciously provide me with a very impressive product. The customer service is superior, the absolute best bakery in R.I.

OH MY GOD! I got so lucky with Andrea and her bakery! Its located less than a mile from my brothers place. When we were looking for cakes, I sat at his place and searched on google maps and there is was, Carina e Dolce. We got in the car and drove over, completely missed it because its not your typical bakery. But, keeping in mind to never judge a book by its cover, when we found it we went in and fell in love. My husband, brother and sister in law all loved everything she had us taste. We went from a 2/3 layer cake to a 4 because of all the flavors. We left our first meeting with a design and choices, when we came back to put in our deposit, Andrea provided us with more flavors and we were blown away again and removed our originally choices with the new ones. We dropped off our cake toppers, deposit and left so excited to see the end result. I can remember the night of the reception, I got on the mic and made sure I specifically told all our guests to try the cake! I was so excited about it and it was delicious! Thank you so much Andrea!

Andrea was super accommodating. I placed my order literally last minute via email and she accepted my request. I explained what I would like and even sent a doodle as a reference. Going to pick up my order I didn’t know what I would be getting, but it was AMAZING! So much detail and effort. The cake itself was so moist and delicious. The buttercream frosting was just the right amount of sweet. The cake to frosting ratio was spot on! My FAVORITE part of the cake?, it was all edible! The little figures were made of rice crispy treats! Literally the BEST rice crispy treat I’ve ever eaten! You can tell Andrea puts pride and exceptional work into her cakes. I loved mine and will definitely be ordering from her again soon⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Andrea made the best cake for my sons third birthday. I called her a few weeks prior to her party with the intention of getting a garbage truck themed cake. Andrea made the design process so easy and incorporated the toys I was hoping to have on the cake (mini-garbage truck & recycling bins). Her enthusiasm was like no other vendor I have ever worked with, she was so excited to design the cake she made me wait until pickup to see what she had in mind. While this would normally be a risk - I had 100% trust in her skill, design, and passion. Shes a small business owner that takes great pride in her products. The cake was not only exceptional in design, the taste was out of this world. All of my guests loved the flavor. The greatest compliment I can give is that my sons face beamed when he saw it. Happy kiddo - happy momma. Thank you so much Andrea, we will be back again next year with whatever his obsession at the moment is.

Review №43

I ordered from this shop last year for my baby shower favors. I ordered 2 different kinds of sugar cookies. A butterfly and an elephant. The butterflies came out nice but the elephant was a dog cookie cutter with a drawn on trunk that looked more like male anatomy than anything. I was told when I sent her pictures of what I wanted that it could be done. I was so embarrassed to give those cookies out as favors but was left with no choice as I picked the cookies up the day before the shower. It’s not like they had a small amount of time to get the right cutter shape or something. I ordered at least a month in advance maybe a week more than a month. My mom called to try and get the money back or partial refund or something and never received a call back. Very unprofessional. If you can’t make what someone is asking for then be honest and tell them! Will not be ordering from them again!

I spoke to Andrea regarding the theme for my sons 1st Birthday and left the rest up to her and when I saw the cake she created I was left amazed!! I simply couldnt believe how unbelievable the cake came. It was better than I could have imagined. There was so much detail..it looked like something you would see on TV show cake wars!! I wish there was a way to attach a pic here.When the people at the party seen the cake they were speechless as well! And here is the best part... It tasted as good as it looked if not better!! Trust me, dont bother looking elsewhere if you need a cake done. For my next cake I will have Andreas number on speed dial. Thank you Andrea!!

Review №51

Recently had my baby shower and I went to Andrea because I thought she could really do some amazing work. I purchased a few different things but my main issue was the cake pops and the cookies. The cake pops were not great at all meaning the design or the taste. There was so much sugar icing on the outside it was just too much . Then to top it off once you get to the cake it was more like a wet fudge with no flavor. The design was really bad. I sent her a pic of what I liked and it came out nothing like what I asked for. It honestly looked like the students she had been training made the pops . I was disappointed and didnt put them out for display because they did not look presentable. The sugar cookies had way to much icing on it, the cookies itself had no flavor . The design of the cookies were nice though. I paid almost 200.00 for everything and honestly feel like none of it was worth it. I dont like to harm anyones business ever but I dont think what was given to me was cool at all.

The owner has a wonderful team of people behind the counter. I’ve ordered from them multiple times and I’m never disappointed. Andrea- the owner and head woman in charge is my favorite human to talk to and gets the job done every time. There’s nothing her and her team can’t do. I met them at a cookie expo and got everything I imagined and more. Go to Andrea, see her little bake shop, and fall in love

I look forward to visiting the shop the same way some look forward to visiting Disney. You cant help but have your jaw drop when you walk in the shop and see display cakes filling every nook and cranny. Not only are the cakes and other goodies amazing in taste and looks, but the staff is incredibly accommodating. The owner is like Wonder Woman as she has saved my events multiple times by taking my last minute orders and blowing them out of the water in detail. You can tell everyone there loves their job and genuinely cares about each project they take on. Ill never go anywhere else for desserts for my special occasions. The tastes of the cakes may fade from your mouth, but the lasting memories of every special treat will last forever. Thank you so much Carina E Dolce Team!

I ordered my son’s birthday cake for his 7th birthday which was a Stranger Things Themed cake and everyone at the party was obsessed with how well it looked and tasted! She ordered the demogorgon (monster action figure) to place at the top of the cake but Amazon emailed her only TWO days before I had to pick up the cake to let her know that it is back ordered and will not be delivered until the end of the month. She was kind enough to call every store possible to find the demogorgan but had no luck. therefore, she made the demogorgan from fondant and let me just say, I am sooooo happy the action figure did not come in on time because I LOVEEEEED the way they recreated the demogorgon with fondant soooo much better than the action figure. And they only had 2 days to pull it off!! They went above and beyond to make sure my son received an amazing cake for his themed party and I am extremely pleased.

This place is ok. I expected more. I ordered my baby shower cake and it didn’t come out how she described it to be. The cake was expensive too. The cake decoration seem rushed and the baby she made as a cake topper which she charge extra for was horrible! The baby didn’t even look like a baby There was suppose to be pearls on my cake but, she put icing dots instead?! Horrible! Smh! cookies and cake-pop came out nice though. But never again.

Review №65

I can’t thank them enough for fitting me so last minute. I called 2 days before the day I needed my cake because I was out of the state and Andrea helped me from the very beginning and even called me back when I told her I’d call her back. I ended up ordering a Buchanan’s whiskey shaped cake for my boss. I can’t even explain how amazing it was. His family came from Delaware and everyone was stunned it was definitely the highlight of the whole night and let me not forget to say that the cake itself was amazing as well. I ordered it guava filled and let me tell you... I won’t be going anywhere else for my cakes from now on.

Andrea has delighted us on a few occasions. We were first lured in with her delicious cupcakes and cookies when she first opened. We then ordered a cake for our daughters joint Communion and Confirmation party. Finally, the piece de resistance came last week when Andrea knocked our socks off with a three tiered cake that joined 3 themes (birthday, high school graduation, and college acceptance) with three flavors of cake (including a GF top tier). She is a delight to work with and graciously accommodated an increase in cake size as our guest list grew. We have a few more confirmations and graduations in our future and look forward to having Carina e Dolce help make them memorable!
