Caroline’s Cakes had a very humble beginning. Caroline served her very first Caramel Cake at her son’s christening in 1982, and thanks to the power of word of mouth, word quickly spread of the legendary 7-Layer Caramel Cake. Before Caroline knew it, she had customers from as far away as Alaska and Hawaii wondering how soon they could get a Caramel Cake!
Since then, the company has become a nationwide name and does offer to ship beautiful and tasty cakes throughout the 50 United States and the District of Columbia. Because Caroline’s Cakes ships both perishable and nonperishable times, shipping days range from one to three business days via UPS.
That being said, while the company may be known for their Caramel cake, they offer a huge selection of cakes to choose from, and they generally range in price from $50.00 to $160.00 depending on the cake and package that the consumer chooses.
