    Ms. Kim!!! This has to be some sort of witchcraft! 😂 I am absolutely in love with this carrot cake! I placed the order online. I live all the way up in Northern Virginia right outside of DC and it was still very cold as if I pulled it straight from the fridge/freezer. I just had such a huge slice that it ended up replacing my dinner, and I’m already planning to enjoy another (smaller) piece for breakfast tomorrow! 😇The cake is super moist, full of flavor, and the frosting is the perfect balance; creamy, smooth, and not overly sweet. Everything about it is just right. Truly one of the best carrot cakes I’ve ever had. I cannot say enough about how delicious it is! I’m looking forward to ordering some of the vegan options for some of my close friends who are vegan, I will definitely be spreading the word of your delicious cakes to everyone I know! ☺️

    Update: Daisy Cakes was very responsive to my concerns, offered a particial refund. Which was a fair outcome. :)I have ordered cakes (lemon, chocolate, gluten free choc ) in the past from this company. Very good.3 years later I ordered mint cake and orange cake and the the orange cake was a complete let down 👎The Marmalade was a good inch from the edge of cake and very thin layer. The frosting was bland no taste. What the heck happened Here? The mint cake was okay. Each cake cost $80 a piece after shipping. Noticed that a lot was thrown away at the party where I served it. I was embarrassed.

    I regret entrusting daisy cakes to make my wife’s first Mother’s Day special. I ordered their gluten free carrot cake for $116.50 after shipping and it arrived with no dry ice and warm to the touch. Please do not trust daisy cakes to make your day special. They will disappoint you.

    Awful! Was extremely disappointed. Bought 8 cakes as Christmas gifts (2 for my own Christmas party) . Got every flavor available. My opinion is that there are better cakes at Publix. Next time I want fancy expensive cakes, I will just get it from local gourmet bakeries such as Chocolat, Eda's cakes or Nothing Bunt Cakes. First I read mixed reviews of 'awesome' versus 'horrible' and sent in a query to ilovedaisycakes about my concerns and never got a reply. Later I asked my friends to tell me about their gifts and only got a polite response of "it is rich and very sweet" which is their nice way of saying.. 'too sweet' and nothing else to comment on. My personal experience was that of a very dense sheet cake with very sweet frosting. Definitely not worth the 125 plus tax per set of cakes. I spent over $500 on these cakes and it will be my last. My friends and family laughed on how I believed it was anything good just because I saw it on shark tank. It has been a very expensive lesson. I should have been smarter since they only posted the positive reviews and without any dates of postings. Even after they messed up and brought the business back to South Carolina, the quality is not there. I am thoroughly embarrassed about what I have sent my friends this year. I could have spent that money on something way nicer. I really wanted to believe in this product but I get better moist flavorful cakes from Entemann's. Please don't waste your money and buy from your local bakeries. You really could make better cakes from a grocery store boxed cake mix.
