They have created custom cakes for every occasion and so many people have commented on not only how beautiful the cakes were but how tasty they are. My daughter is allergic to eggs so Jenya, the owner was able to make egg free cakes and still make the cakes taste great! I love her attention to detail. They are a bit distance for us to drive and over the years the price may have increased but I think it's worth it.

They incorporated our painted pottery turtles into the design. The chiffon lemon with raspberry filling and chiffon with passion fruit filling cakes were delicious!! They were extremely easy to work with (including making several tasting boxes available at different times due to COVID restrictions.) 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.

The only downside is that there's no seating area, so you'll have to enjoy your treats at home.

THEY FORGOT TO BAKE MY WEDDING CAKE. And 4 weeks later, still have not provided me a full refund,…read moreeven after promising to do so. Countless email exchanges and multiple texts have been made between myself and the owner, Dennis Stanley, and still I find myself not financially whole. The least they can do is return what I paid. As I will never be truly whole.. for the wedding cake was what I was looking forward to the most, and the realization it would not be coming left me in tears. To do this to a bride and then have her continuously email for restitution and provide TERRIBLE communication is a truly awful thing to do. ***DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS*** And in general, their communication is terrible. They don't answer the phone and you have to email 2 or 3 times before they respond. Weddings are already expensive and stressful -- do yourself a favor and don't add to it by using Chantel's Bakery. EDIT AFTER OWNER COMMENT: Chantel's Bakery never reached out to me after the credit card did not go through. Actually, the opposite. I emailed Chantel's two days after the in-person meeting informing them that my credit card had not been charged and asked when it would be. I NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE. It was not until the morning of my wedding did I receive a PayPal invoice, in which was paid within 3 hours of receipt. Maybe a planner would have been helpful in completing additional follow-ups with the business WHICH IS CLEARLY REQUIRED, so that I didn't have to be the one to realize the cake was missing. However, a business should establish some sort of organization that would allow them not to forget an order IN THE FIRST PLACE. The sad fact is that Dennis told me that the error should have never happened it was entirely their fault and he would provide a FULL REFUND which he has failed to do. They may not have time to complete your order or follow through on promises made, but they sure do have time to falsely respond to negative reviews. Again, I repeat DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS.

The mini cheesecakes, cookies, and wedding cake were absolutely cleaned out! The only thing we got to bring home for ourselves was our personal wedding cake. Amanda is so accommodating--we had my mother in law bring in some traditional Indian desserts and Amanda was happy to add them to her display and even provided a beautiful serving dish for them! The wedding cake was so beautiful and DELICIOUS! My husband hyped it up so much to our guests that I started to worry it might not meet their expectations, but I was SO wrong. I would recommend Amanda for any event you may have coming up in your life. She is professional and reliable, and will work with you to make your dessert dreams come true down to the last detail!
