Uncommon Cakes

5.0

Starts at $60
Serves Amherst, VA

Uncommon Cakes specializes in unique and custom flavors (think Crème Brûlée, Cardamom Strawberry, Brown Butter Bourbon Peach, and Chocolate Earl Gray Hazelnut) for cakes, cupcakes, and other treats for your wedding or other celebrations in central Virginia (Charlottesville, Nelson, Amherst, Lynchburg, Crozet, and surrounding areas).

“We first had Amanda's cupcakes at our venue tour of Lovingston Winery. We bought four: two to eat and two to take home. Well, that didn't happen. They were so delicious, that we inhaled all four, and then two more that another couple bought us in celebration of our engagement. I am not exaggerating when I say that these are the best cupcakes you will ever eat. The flavors are so fun, creative, and DELICIOUS (and she's able to customize them), and they're the perfect amount of sweetness. Plus they're beautiful! We got cupcakes for our wedding instead of a cake just so we could have more flavors. When I tell you it was nearly impossible to choose our top three, I mean it. We had notes and multiple discussions on which flavors to pick because they were all so good. We even ended up having three more flavors for our rehearsal dinner because we couldn't decide. All of our guests absolutely loved them (even those who "don't like cake"), and the few that were left at the end of the night were perfect for us and the bridal party to snack on as an afterparty treat. Amanda was super accommodating, communicative, and the sweetest person too! I cannot recommend her enough!!!!”

“Working with Sweet Carolina for our wedding cake was one of the best decisions we made! From start to finish, Carolina was warm, professional, and incredibly talented. She took the time to understand exactly what we envisioned — and then completely exceeded our expectations. Not only was the cake an absolute showstopper visually (so many of our guests couldn’t stop taking pictures!), but it tasted even better than it looked — rich, fresh, and full of flavor. Every layer was delicious, and the attention to detail in the design was truly remarkable. What I appreciated most was how easy and enjoyable she made the process. Carolina was responsive, thoughtful with suggestions, and genuinely cared about making our day special. You can tell she pours her heart into every creation. If you’re looking for a wedding cake that’s as stunning as it is scrumptious, I can’t recommend Sweet Carolina enough. Her work added such a sweet and memorable touch to our celebration, and I’m so grateful we found her.”

We began as a concession company providing cotton candy at sporting events. In the fall of 2021, we extended our brand by starting our own manufacturing plant. Sweet Buckets was born as an option for customers and businesses to purchase Cotton Candy and Gourmet popcorns direct from our company.

“We had our wedding reception at a brewery and wanted some easy to eat sweet and salty snacks. These popcorn flavors were delicious, they sent us flavors to try before we decided. We chose 4 flavors and they shipped them right to our house. The popcorn buckets had our cute custom labels which they designed for us and looked PERFECT! We had tons of compliments on the popcorn. We ordered plenty and people were grabbing them to take home at the end of the night. A perfect snack after a few beers. Theu were very fast with the samples and the order too!”
