I also gave Lauren very vague instructions for decorating and thought they turned out so pretty! We also had The Hive bake for our wedding! Our DAIRY FREE cake was lemon cake, berry filling, and vanilla icing. We also got lemon macaroons with raspberry filling. All of it had copper leaf decoration and looked stunning. You guys... I still dream about those desserts. People couldn't believe the cake was dairy free. It was so flavorful and moist. The macaroons melted in your mouth. My husband, who doesn't typically do desserts, was looking forward to cake leftovers when we got back from our honeymoon. Unfortunately there was not much leftover because all our guests had eaten it!!! Support this small business and enjoy your cake!

She told us all about the cupcakes since it was our first time and that they have the weekly rotation of a certain flavor of cupcakes and then they have their originals that they always have. The shop is super cute. You can sit in and eat your cupcake or you can take it home. Just absolutely amazing. I highly recommend.

I also appreciate that there are vegan, gluten-free, and canine options for furry friends. When I walked in, the young lady working seemed uncomfortable, like she didn't know how or want to speak to any customers inside, so that made for a weird experience right away. We quickly made our selections, my husband getting the banana snickerdoodle and I got the chocolate cream filled. I ate mine as soon as we got home. I cut it in half and was surprised to see the "filling" was smaller than a penny - what a joke. Luckily the cupcake itself was moist and fresh, with the double icing on top also delicious. My husband liked his but it was not nearly as moist. For $4.50, I'd go back for the chocolate filled cupcake, but I'd probably go to a different location where I felt more like a valued customer (who hopefully gets an actually filled cupcake).

The online ordering process was simple and straightforward, and I was able to provide detailed instructions along with reference images. The cake turned out absolutely amazing. It was chocolate and vanilla with no filling, and everything came together beautifully. The final result looked incredible, and it tasted just as good as it looked. For a fully custom cake of this size and detail, it was also very affordable, which was a pleasant surprise. Pickup was smooth and stress-free. The service was excellent the two cashiers were friendly, and we only waited a few seconds while they grabbed the cake, showed it to us, and boxed it up securely for transport. While we were there, we also tried a few of the goodies in the shop, and those were amazing as well. Huge shout-out to the baker who made this cake, she absolutely slayed it. I would highly recommend them for custom cakes and special occasions.
