From the moment I reached out to her and inquired about specialty cookies, I knew I'd found the right person. Audrey was wonderfully pleasant and confident that she could provide what I was looking for. I explained to her that we were having "2 Legit to Quit" 90's themed party (because Halloween plus birthdays require extra-ness) and I thought some number "2" sugar cookies would be perfect. She asked if there were any specific colors I wanted and she took it from there. I ordered the cookies a week in advance and they were ready as scheduled and I was able to pick them up without hassle. I will definitely work with Audrey in the future, she's reasonably priced, detailed and just an overall joy to work with.

Below are some helpful tips to help you determine if this is the bakery that you would like to try: There is an online payment system available, which makes it easy. The prices are higher than your typical bakery, at least three times higher. Despite the prices being higher, they do not deliver. The cake topper broke that was on my cake for my milestone birthday. This was not a good experience. The cake did not look as desired for my photos. The cake was not moist but dry. It had a great deal of flavor of the vanilla, but was not the tastiest cake that I have tried to Charlotte so far. I am not sure how long is sitting in the refrigerator prior to pick up and when it was made or how it was stored, but I have a problem with that. Out of 15 guests not one person like the cake. I found it a bit embarrassing as the host. Hours of operation for pick up are limited. Good luck!

Plus, on the weekend she will bring cupcakes to breweries and infuse them with alcohol!! Game changer! The cakes I've ordered have been medium size and server 10-12 people ($45). Drip cake does custom designs and cake flavors too. Both orders of mine have been custom. The first cake was for our anniversary. My husband ordered it and got almond cake with raspberry jam and chocolate ganache on the inside with a champagne butter icing and while chocolate Drip. It was delicious and the cake was designed beautifully. The second cake I ordered was for my husband's birthday. I let Tanner know the flavors my husband likes and told her I was planning a holiday themed birthday. I gave full control to her. She ended up designing the most perfect cake ever. Chocolate with with chocolate ganache and peanut butter chocolate pieces on the inside with a peanut butter cream frosting with white chocolate Drip. It was simply a peanut butter lovers dream! The cake was super moist and everyone loved the design. If you're looking for a unique cake designer here in Charlotte, Drip Cake bar has you covered!

If you've got a sweet tooth, Suarez Bakery is a must-stop--no debate…read more I was out running around today and decided to swing by one of my go-to spots in Charlotte, and as always, they did not disappoint. I picked up their strawberry chiffon cake, and let me just say... it's still top tier. Light, moist, and just melts in your mouth without being overly sweet--exactly how a cake should be done. I also grabbed an éclair (because self-control wasn't on the agenda) and two long johns. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and worth every bite. What I really respect about Suarez is their consistency. The service is always fast, the space is clean, and they keep things moving without sacrificing quality. Whether you're popping in for a quick treat or placing a custom order, they've got you covered--cakes, cupcakes, cookies, donuts, all of it. Bottom line: 10/10 recommend. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out. Stop by and thank me later.

The bakery focuses on small-batch, homemade pastries and artisan baked goods, and there are definitely some standouts. The dulce de leche pastries are fantastic, and anything with guava is usually a great choice. Compared to the Optimist Hall location, the aesthetics here feel a little more understated. The display case was a bit sparse during my visit, though they did have some seasonal cookies available. One thing I wish they had is outdoor seating--it would be nice to grab a pastry and enjoy it outside. Parking here is very easy since it's in a large shopping center, which makes it a convenient stop. I also wish they stayed open later, because it would be a great place to grab dessert after dinner given how many restaurants are nearby. Insider tip: If you're visiting, keep an eye out for the dulce de leche or guava pastries--they're some of the best items in the case. Overall, a solid bakery stop for artisan pastries and baked treats, especially if you're already in the Park Road area.
