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!

The owner is really responsive, very creative, and has made themed cakes for us from anything for 10 people to 50, each of them turning out beautifully, and tasting amazing. We have not had a single birthday party where several people have asked where the cake/cupcakes came from..... and we order bigger cakes now so everyone can take a little home. They are THAT good. They keep ready-made cakes for last minute needs as well, in all sizes. And some lovely cupcakes in different flavors - strawberry, honeydew, vanilla, lemon, red velvet - you name it. The texture is different, so if you are looking for traditional airy box-style cake mix flavor, then go elsewhere. These cakes are a little heavier in texture, but less sweet, and definitely worth the price! Eunice is a wonderful baker. And a piano teacher! Friendly, kind, very knowledgeable and open to all kinds of ideas for themes. You won't be disappointed. We LOVE Pink Belle.

Laura was great to work with designing a custom cake that was perfect for our wedding. She was flexible in having a cake with multiple flavors and making adjustments (like the request for fresh fruit in between each layer). The cake was beautiful, but what was even more amazing was that the cake tasted just as good as it looked. Guest after guest came up to us during the wedding and after the wedding to tell us it was the BEST CAKE THEY HAD EVER EATEN IN THEIR LIVES. Not just the best wedding cake, but the best cake EVER. When you factor it taste, beauty, and price I don't think there is ANY better baker in the city of Richmond. I give The Buttercream Bee my highest recommendation. You will NOT be disappointed, give Laura a call for the cake of your dreams!

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.
