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!
