But that doesn't change my inexplicable love of cake. Cue the need for a custom cake for work and so I went to Yelp first looking for vegan gluten free cake and didn't have much luck. So I went to the Googly machine and found Sweet Boutique! Debbie saved my life. She bakes beautiful cakes and cupcakes (regular, wedding cakes and my hippy dippy specialty cakes) out of her nice home in South Charlotte so don't just show up on her porch for an after dinner slice. :) She does beautiful or custom art - I sent her my logo and she cut it out of surprisingly delicious edible fondant but she does sugar art too. We got a double chocolate vegan gluten free cake because my coworker also doesn't usually get to enjoy sweet treats. It was so dark it was almost black but the taste was incredible. It reminded me of brownie batter and my husband absolutely refused to believe it was either vegan or gluten free because the cake was so mouthwatering good without having the grittiness some GF cakes have. I don't know what she uses but it's magic. I will be ordering a GF Caramel cake for my birthday and likely will come back for any baby showers. I bet her regular ones and wedding cakes are phenomenal!

I am not from Charlotte and decided to try this bakery. I stumbled on this location online and…read moreliked the images viewed. I had the opportunity to order my cake months in advance. 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!

I was confident Dayna can do it. Contacted her via FB. And then we texted from there on out. Never met her nor tasted her cake. Honestly to me that works for me.. I work in a salon., and she located in Monroe so it would be hard for me to run there to taste cake and giving her such short notice. At that time. For me it was the best option. She required a $100 deposit. I sent her a copy of my credit card. Something about her, I trusted right off the back. I asked she keeps my no# on file for further charges., I describe what I wanted. Sent her sample pics. And wanted carrot cake w/O NUTS. So many ppl in the group have NUTS allergies. She mentioned she couldn't craved the Darth Vader helmet out of carrot cake. So I opted for lemon cake for the helmet and add a base so BIRTHDAY Boy can get the carrot since it's his favorite. Done.. She was workable as far as pick up time. I didn't get off work on Saturday til 5pm and it takes a hour to get there. Bless her heart for understanding. When we finally see the cake. EVERYBODY WAS IMPRESSED! THE STAFFS At CHIMA AND PPL DINNING WAS IMPRESSED. Carrot cake was dense but moist.. frosting was good but not too sweet.. birthday boy was in love.. the lemon cake was soothing and pallet cleansing but not overwhelming, I like.. omg looking forward to many more creative cakes from Dayna!

Their location in Matthews is a beautiful little shop in Matthews station (near the CM public library & Pizza Peel.) They have lemon or almond cake by the slice daily or today's special was key lime cake. $5 a slice is very reasonable for such yummy flavors. Plus the slices are huge and shareable size if you want. Truly a mouthful of happiness with strong lovely lime and citrus in a buttercream frosting of key lime. I highly recommend their cakes and thinking this combination of cakes and library books is wonderful!! Parking is in the public lots or spaces in Matthews station.

There are so many great options, and every item is fresh and tasty!!! Definitely try the mousse items - both the bear and the lemon are great choices. Also can't go wrong with the danishes.

There was an internet hiccup that morning so our sandwich order didn't go through to the kitchen in time. The staff offered a complementary macaroon due to the slightly longer wait (we're eating the whole time anyway so it's honestly not a huge deal), and the sandwich is worth the wait. It's a wonderful experience - will definitely go back for the goodies and support a local business :)
