Gourmet Goodies Bake Shop — Restaurant in Winter Haven

I recently had the pleasure of working with Gourmet Goodies for a wedding I planned, and I couldn't be more delighted with their exceptional service. As a wedding planner, I've collaborated with numerous bakeries, and Gourmet Goodies stands out as a true gem.

From the initial consultation to the final cake cutting moment, Gourmet Goodies displayed unwavering professionalism, creativity, and dedication to creating stunning and delicious wedding cakes. Their attention to detail and willingness to bring the couple's vision to life was outstanding.

Gourmet Goodies not only crafts beautiful and delectable cakes but also offers a wide range of flavor options and design choices. Their cakes were not only a visual masterpiece but a culinary delight that wowed the couple and their guests.

What truly distinguishes Carissa and her team is their commitment to exceeding expectations. They were responsive, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. The seamless collaboration made it easy for me as a wedding planner to create a memorable and stress-free wedding day.

If you're in search of a bakery that provides top-tier cakes, a dedicated team, and a commitment to making your special day sweet and memorable, I wholeheartedly recommend Gourmet Goodies. They are a cherished partner in creating unforgettable wedding experiences.

Thank you, Carissa and team, for your incredible contribution to our recent wedding. I look forward to more collaborations in the future!

I did not interact with the staff very much so I cannot say much about the service; however, I was not displeased by the service so I guess that's good. My main issue is that for a place to receive 4.6 stars on google, I am surprised by how average the cupcakes were. I felt they were not worth the money, they did not taste fresh, the cake was dry, and the icing was very sugary to the point I could feel the texture, not smooth at all. I would rather buy cupcakes from Publix or even walmart. $3.25 is way too much for the quality I received, the designs were very plain, and there were not many flavor options. I have had cupcakes from places like Sprinkles and Small Cakes which are two of my favorite places. My review is strictly on the cupcakes, I cannot say much for the other desserts, I did try 4 different flavors and felt the same about all of them. They were just average or even below average. I think due to the lack of bakeries in Winter Haven, this place is really the only option. Their cakes looked beautiful, but based off the taste and texture of the cupcakes, I would not expect the cakes to be better. I am honestly disappointed...

UPDATE:

After this review, Clarissa the owner reached out to me and was really concerned about my experience and wanted to really find out why my cake was less than expected. After conversation, she figured what had happen and immediately offered to replace our cake whenever we needed. Just so happen we had a Baby Shower coming up for my daughter and they made us a beautiful cake and it was SO DELICIOUS! Super moist and flavor was awesome!

5 Stars well deserved!

I ordered a cake for my grandaughters birthday and puppy party a couple weeks ago. Cake was beautifully decorated, however picture on top of cake bubbled up terrible before the party ever started as it was sitting on my dining room table. Was a bit embarrassing as guests arrived. Buttercream icing was fabulous amd lots of it which I love. The confetti cake was very dry so was a good thing there was lots of icing. Tasted like a frozen week old cake. For the price I was very disappointed and most likely will not order cake again.

I frequent your shop for treats for my grandkids and have only ever had 1 issue which was promptly addressed and I...
