Charissa's Homemade Bake Shop in Tavares - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I really wanted to like my experience but unfortunately I can’t say I did . I’m a travel agent and I ordered for my clients arrival 1/22 to be delivered 1/21 so they would have their cookies on arrival . I called the hotel after not hearing from Charissa to find out they weren’t delivered after several phone calls unanswered and texts she finally answered and said she had work late and will drop them off today at 1:30 my clients were at the hotel and checked in by 10 am ! I asked for a picture which she was hesitant to send and when she finally did an hour later and they looked like they had just been iced and still wet . My clients were at the parks so didn’t get the cookies until just now which is not what I wanted to happen . Unfortunately I’ll have to find another vendor because this one is not reliable .

We were unhappy with our cake as the baker was not forthcoming with us. We ordered a cake and sent a picture of specifically what we wanted. What we received was not that. Communication was not the best and the cake was not delivered until the 3rd day of our trip.

Thank you so much Charissa's, my wife and I loved everything you did for our daughters first birthday. The Cocomelon cake was a huge hit, everyone loved how it was decorated. The Cocomelon cupcakes and cookies added a nice touch to how we decorated. The cake was so good, with so many positive comments even hearing I don't like cake but love this one. Thank you again for being a part of our special day! David & Wella Bessette

I stopped by after breakfast next door with one of my kids to pick up a treat for the two members of our party who didn't come to breakfast. We picked up an m&m cookie and a cookie dough cupcake. The cookie tastes like a homemade cookie should. It was crumbly and a good mix of sweet and salty. The cookie dough cupcake cake itself was moist and a delicious chocolate base. The frosting was super sweet. It was a little too sweet for us but not a deal breaker. My kids, of course, were more than happy to demolish all of the frosting. We would definitely swing by again to pick up some surprise sweets and maybe order a cake for a birthday!

Ordered a Harry Potter cake for my Daughter's birthday. OMG its AMAZING!! Its EXACTLY how I described it to them! Love love It. Will definitely be ordering for Future events!!

I ordered and paid for an Encanto cake months ago for my daughter's birthday. Yesterday, I messaged Charissa's Homemade Bake Shop asking for a delivery time and was told this afternoon. Today, after waiting at my hotel for hours, I messaged Charissa's asking for an estimated delivery time and was told that my order accidentally was placed with tomorrow's tickets. I will not be here tomorrow, so no cake. This is extremely disappointing. I got a refund, but obviously the cake was more important. I would not recommend ordering from here. There are too many reliable bakers in the area to give your business to.

This was our second custom order with Charissa's bakery in Tavares. Both cakes were excellent, the most recent being a yule log cake. It was soo good! Our guests raved about it and I'm looking for any excuse to order another one. Friendly staff and they go the extra mile to make things special. Tavares is fortunate to have such a high quality bakery.

This was the BEST way to start our Disney vacation. We ordered a dozen Minnie sugar cookies and the charcuterie box. It was waiting for us at check in when we arrived was devoured shortly after! The charcuterie box was genius, had just enough of everything. After a long day of travel it was exactly what was needed. The shop was very easy to work with and accommodating. Highly recommend using Charissa as part of your Disney experience!

This was the most beautiful wedding cake! It was exactly what the bride wanted. So many guests commented on it and it tasted great too! Highly recommend this place!

Purchased a home made carrot cake for a Birthday on the 12th of September, picked it up on the 10th and it sat refrigerated until needed. And let me tell yall something, I took it out a couple of hours a head of time and it was as moist as the day it was made. Now doing a chef buy trade myself I am the most harshest critic around even on my self when it comes too cooking and pastries, I know yall are wondering why I didn't do it my self, lack of time. IHighlt Recommend this store for baked goods. Hope she dose Italian pastries also.

Great new bakery. Owner and staff friendly. They offer pastries, cakes cookies, etc. Great place to stop and have coffee and dessert. They also have gluten free, sugar free, vegan and keep items. Special orders available. So by and keep this local business going.
