    Cake

    I ordered a cake for my son's baptism. Simple. Got there and they quickly gave me cake and I quickly looked at it but was very distracted. I got home a hour away and got to finally look more at it about a hour later. GOD Bless was misspelled. God was not capitalized and bless was blees. Then called and I was told to drive back the next day a hour away again. Got there and figured someone would apologize or even the manager would come say something. No nothing of that sort. No apology... No asking if they could compensate for my time, gas, and money since I just spent almost $40 on a 6 in cake. I was sitting at a table and someone who was more than likely the manager, owner, or someone that wasn't a baker did come start pulling things out of a drawer and start throwing it all over the table I was sitting at. Also the decorator did act annoyed and gave me a look across the room though when she brought out the cake. Honestly the coming back wouldn't of made me so annoyed if they handled it correctly. I'll never recommend them to anyone which is crazy I had several recommend them to me.

    Delicious cupcakes. Love that they participate in Too Good To Go, to end food waste. Super friendly staff too

    I spoke to two other cake shops before deciding to use Pearl's Bake Shoppe. I worked with Emily Pilk on the design and she was great! I wanted a cake for my daughter's bridal shower and she is vegan. I know vegan cakes can be hit or miss and Pearl's knocked it out of the park with this one! It tasted incredible and no one would have known it was a vegan cake if I hadn't told them. I got so many compliments over how it tasted and how beautiful it was. I don't think I've ever seen a cake as pretty as this one! I did a lemon cake with lemon buttercream and raspberry filling. They truly knocked it out of the park! I highly recommend using Pearl's for a custom cake.

    They exceeded my expectations in every way. Everyone hyped them up when looking for a cake, and they were so right to. If i'm ever looking for another custom cake or macrons I will for sure go to Pearl's. They were super easy to work with, the cake came out better than we even expected and it was amazing!!

    My husband celebrated his birthday yesterday which of course calls for sweet treats. I picked pearls because 1) I've had their cupcakes before and I knew they were delicious & 2) they have vegan options and we have vegan friends. I didn't order ahead because I wanted to have a mix and match dozen and that was easier to do in person. This could be a gamble at some places but they had plenty of options and plenty of each (I went in the morning just a tip if you're doing the same). They had 4 vegan options and two of those were gluten free, I believe they also had 2 gluten free regular as well. The picture I posted was only one side of the display case so there were more flavors than just those ones shown. The guy helping me was very nice, the store was very cute and had many other options besides just the cupcakes. On top of all of that everyone enjoyed the cupcakes so it was definitely a win!

    Strawberry Fields 6" Cake

    I really wanted a strawberry cake for my birthday and Pearl's was one of the few bakeries I could find that had it on the menu and that allowed shorter notice orders. Their website and online ordering is super easy to use. There was a link to place an order for today/tomorrow and one for orders 48+ hours away. I mentioned a nut allergy in the notes and they followed up within the day reassuring no nut products would be used but cross contamination could be a risk. I appreciated the honesty. Pickup was seamless. They have decorations and candles for purchase at the store. I got some small gold number candles that I had trouble finding elsewhere for a decent price. The cake was as described on the site. Very cute, though the lettering could be neater. The cake was denser than I expected. The frosting/icing hardened in the fridge. I probably should have taken it out earlier but I found it was more enjoyable when I microwaved it a little.

    Pearls is such a pretty bakery!! They also have a side to sit & eat! Always clean & well kept! The service is always good! The workers are always kind, at least every time I'm there!! I always get the 6 pack of cupcakes for abt $20 sum. They never disappoint! You might think the price is crazy, but I think it's worth it! It's my favorite place for cupcakes/pastries in VA! Or at least compared to my area(Petersburg).

    Ice cream was very smooth, creamy, and delicious. The chocolate chip brownie was very delicious and moist.

    Gluten Free Assorted Specialty Cupcakes
    Leland L.

    Definitely the best cupcakes in Richmond!!! I love getting an assortment for special occasions. This time I got a box of each of the gluten free options for my friend's birthday. It was so fun each trying all the flavors and makes experience so fun! The icing is rich and flavorful but also perfectly balanced with the amount of cake to icing. I recommend trying the more out-there specialty cupcakes because I am always surprised by the more different ones that I end up liking the best!

    So... one word... YUM... I kind of have a tummy-ache lol... because i felt like i needed to try every cupcake in the box... so delicious... so they have a crunchy edge that made me nervous but it was surprising so moist. I didn't like that berry one that looks so fancy with that green thing in the middle.... Like a rosemary leaf or something... it was probably one of those things that you have to have an acquired taste for... But the rest were so good. Would i go back? Absolutely yes. Even tho it's 40 mins from home...

    What's the average price per cupcake?

    Probably around $3.25. I know I paid $17.00 for half dozen. Usually you get a break when you buy more. Worth every penny, too!!

    Cameo is so lovely! We visited to experience the festive decorations and were pleasantly surprised…read moreby how delicious the food was. We made a reservation on their website and upon arrival, I was glad we did. There's limited seating indoors, about 10 tables mostly for parties of 2. There's also patio seating with a few space heaters. There was 1 server handling all the tables indoors and she was fantastic. We tried a couple lattes, croissant sammies, and the cinnamon roll. The chicken salad sammie was my favorite. The croissant was fluffy and buttery and the chicken salad was refreshing. The cinnamon roll was great too, though a tad too sweet for me, and is made with croissant dough.

The cupcakes were a 2.75. They look good- but they were dry (especially the almond raspberry) The vanilla cake was maybe the better of the four cupcakes - softer but tasty eggy / chewy. Not really soft and moist. The chocolates were both dry, dense, and not soft. The raspberry jam tasted chemically. The best part of the four cupcakes was the chocolate ganache on the double chocolate. The inside was extremely cute and cozy looking. The service was nice and friendly.

I had been here once before and ordered my friend a birthday mini fruit tart and myself a cake. I remember wishing the cake was a bit more moist and curious to try other desserts. I'm so happy I returned. This time I ordered the turtle cheesecake slice and a passionfruit tart for myself. I devoured these sweets. They were so yummy. They have more of a takeout situation here, so I ordered my sweets to go and ate them at home. It's pretty tiny shop. I loved the cheesecake the most. The passionfruit tart was fun, although with passionfruit as the base flavor I wish there were more tropical topping and then maybe a plain custard one with the berries. It was still tasty. I'd recommend stopping by if you're in the area looking for some dessert.

The cake I had was a red velvet cake beautifully decorated, but a little heavy and sugary for me al thought I usually eat cake from asian bakeries. The toffee cookie was also amazing! Inside the display cases were beautiful, the only downside is there isn't much room and you can't really sit in there! Service was good, very welcoming! I'm definitely coming back for the passion fruit tart, the other tarts do not compare and i'm so so serious about it .....
