Service is amazing, I like the idea of being able to pre-order ahead of time if you sign up for her newsletter. I'm usually at the pop-up's (Rockville) so lots of vendors to see as well. The line can get busy but moves quickly.

They make sure to have a thorough consultation, to go over all the details of what you want. I enjoy that during the consultations, they provide a lot of recommendations but ultimately let you have full creative freedom.

This is a very reliable place, we appreciate them being part of our special occasions and providing us with the best quality service! We are also obsessed with their fondant and American buttercream!

In addition the chocolate filling and cake was delicious and not too sweet it was sooo good I wanted more of it. Highly recommended!

I am a big fan of the tea flavored cupcakes here; the Earl Grey is amazing. There are always about a dozen flavors to choose from, including gluten-free options. They also make delicious macarons. They also make custom cakes, many of which are on display. If you're ever in Urbana, it's definitely worth the drive down the gravel road for a visit.

Voula was very responsive and and clear about the details and exactly what everything cost without adding on unnecessary prices. She delivered the cake on time too. The cake was wonderful, full of detail and my baby kept saying "lion king" simba, mofasa, zazu and rafiki. It was full of a lot of great detail and the red velvet cake tasted amazing. The only drawback is that to get that amount of detail, need to pack a significant layer of frosting. I'm glad I used blue lace cakes. They delivered exactly what I was looking for detail and taste. Will definitely use voula again.

During the process to meet and get our samples, the business owner wrote informing us our date was no longer available and they were booked up now. Apparently they wanted us to pay a retainer to lock in the date, but we were just supposed to guess that was required since it was never mentioned in any communication nor was an invoice provided to us to do so or a means of payment discussed. We would have had no problem at all paying even in full had the business mentioned it even once that it was required. Really a disappointing experience all around working with the provider.

If you're looking for a custom cake that will look gorgeous and taste amazing, LOOK NO FURTHER!!!…read more I was planning a 30th Bday party and it was Hawaiian themed and I wanted a custom cake baked with love. Robin was absolutely wonderful and easy to work with. I submitted my request through her site and got a response shortly after. We consulted through email and through phone to ensure my order was what I wanted. She even asked me if it would be indoor or outdoor, which was so thoughtful because she then recommended that it be covered in fondant so that it didn't melt or fall in the heat. She was so easy to work with and super friendly. The cake turned out absolutely amazing. Everyone at the party was so impressed with the design and how the cake tasted! It was DELICIOUS! I've had her coconut cake and almond cake from other events that my friends have planned, as well. And they were very delicious. I cannot explain how good they are but you just have to trust me on this. Those flavors I would have never chosen but they left me wanting more. For this event, I went with chocolate cake and chocolate butter cream and it was perfectly moist, and perfectly sweet, but not too sweet and not too chocolately. Chocolate actually is not my favorite cake flavor but this was literally the perfect chocolate cake. Moving forward, I definitely plan to continue requesting cakes from her. They will NOT disappoint. HIGHLYYYYY RECOMMEND!!!!

They incorporated our painted pottery turtles into the design. The chiffon lemon with raspberry filling and chiffon with passion fruit filling cakes were delicious!!

Honey Bee Pastries was also reasonably priced for the Washington, D.C. area. We would highly recommend using them for all your catering bakery needs.

But the taste of the cake.... wasn't good. That gets 1/5. I don't know if it was just me or if she had a lot of orders but my cake's taste (Very standard vanilla cake with vanilla frosting) was pretty bad. No one in our group of 10 ate much of the cake after the 1st bite, and because it was a family affair, people felt pretty comfortable in saying it tasted really bad. We had a whole conversation about it during dessert. I know I personally cannot order from her again. I only post this because it would've helped me had I have known. 17 5-stars is very misleading here. Again it could've been just my cake. Which is still unfortunate for me.

After some research, I found Paola and her cakes looked BEAUTIFUL! I contacted Paola about two weeks before my event and was excited to hear that she was available. I wasn't sure of the exact design I wanted, but I wanted a cross between a science themed and graduation themed cake and Paola was confident she could make that happen. Paola is really quick to respond to emails, calls and texts and was really patient and informative in answering any question I had. Payment was quick and easy, I was able to Venmo her directly (50% before to book the cake, and the other 50% when I received the cake). She was flexible and offered to deliver the cake to my event for a per mile fee which made my life a LOT easier. When the cake arrived it was AMAZING! It incorporated science and graduation while still being an elegant design. 5 STARS! I definitely recommend Paola! I hope to get more custom cakes from her in the future!
