I LOVE Pearl's Bake Shoppe. I've been eyeing their cupcakes for a while before finally deciding to…read moretry them, but I'm so glad that I did! I've come back more than a few times to try different cupcakes from this bakery, and it has not disappointed! They always have a line when I stop by of people picking up bakery orders or stopping by to grab sweet treats. They have all kinds of pastries and bakery items: cakes, cake pops, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, pies, macarons, pop tarts and even packaged drinks. I've gotten a few different cupcakes from them. My favorites have been the peaches and cream, top hat cupcake, pistachio raspberry and strawberry vanilla. Their tiramisu cupcake, margarita cupcake and the key lime cupcakes all actually tasted so much like the namesakes! Their cupcakes are mostly perfectly balanced sweetness: I haven't had anything that was too sweet. Their cakes look so beautifully decorated, but I haven't tried any. They look so good though! Everything in there are so aesthetically pleasing, and if the cupcakes are anything to go by, I'd say flavor wise, the other items would meet expectations! Definitely one of my favorite places in Richmond to get myself a treat and wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Kara is a real artist. Her wedding cakes are beautiful and her groom's cakes are super creative. She's done cakes shaped like typewriters, legos, dogs, trucks, fish, baseball stadiums, beer pitchers and more. Wedding cakes are available in a ton of different flavors and fillings. Some options include white, yellow, spice, banana, light chocolate, chocolate fudge, strawberry, raspberry, golden almond, macadamia, hazelnut, coconut, pumpkin, carrot, orange, lemon, traditional British rich fruitcake, red velvet and butter rum. She also does a variety of flavored cheesecakes during cooler months. I've tried Kara's cakes at various events and they are both inventive and delicious. I'd definitely consider calling her for my wedding. She also does beautiful cookie favors and custom cake toppers. Very cool!

After seeing her work, we gave her a few inspiration photos and let her surprise us- we loved the end result! Most importantly, she uses fresh ingredients (no box mixes or frozen cake like other bakers in town) and the cake is awesome. Its taking all of my willpower to not eat the frozen top tier of our wedding cake right now. She does not charge extra for design work, and seems to enjoy working with new, creative techniques. She's also written a book about owning a small cake business, has an Etsy store, and keeps a regular blog...how many other bakeries can say that? Delicious and professional service. A Cake to Remember was one of the easiest vendors to work with during my planning. Recommended 100%.

It was brusque but mostly not overtly rude, perhaps they were just busy getting ready. I ordered the charcuterie board ($28), a chicken salad croissant sandwich ($14), and the Lavender Bees Knees ($8). The drink was very pretty but not super flavorful. The chicken salad was good enough, but I think the croissant alone would have been wonderful. The charcuterie board had a substitutions I was not made aware of upon ordering (no pepper jelly, blanched almonds instead of candied pecans, and a green onion mixed type goat cheese with bacon in it instead of maple bacon goat cheese). They did add little pickles and the presentation was pretty enough, but no flowers like the owner posted photo on here. The meat was pretty thick which could be a positive or negative depending on personal preference, and the meat was decent quality. The fig jam was very good. The waitress who was helping the other tables had brought my food out but didn't check on me at all. I had to go up to the counter again to order a cinnamon roll ($8) and a coffee ($5) which she brought out to me. The coffee was nice and dark (Cameo blend) and incredibly hot. The cinnamon roll was okay, not very much cinnamon flavor but it was delicate and the icing was decent. The interior was pretty and it was a good spot to read a book and spend a morning.

I only regret not bringing home more things to try, especially the bars which looked reallyyyy good.
