    Fortnite Birthday Cake
    Jether W.

    Let me begin by saying Lori is our family baker. We trust her and love her delicious cakes, cookies, and cupcakes that much! We only go else where when I neglect to book her in time and out of respect for not springing an order on her in short notice. Lori has provided baked goods for our son's Baptism, family birthdays, promotions, and she has also provided excellent service to friends as well. I once asked Lori to bake a cake of a computer motherboard as our son's birthday cake and she replicated it perfectly. Always the hit of a party! I love all her goodies but you must try the pound, lemon, and amoretto sour flavours. The professionalism and quality of service is unmatched in Charlotte!

    I hired this company to do my cake for my baby shower. Originally it was to be a gender reveal but then we accidentally found out the gender so decided to change it to just a baby shower cake. I was back and forth with the owner multiple times because I kept changing my mind, she was beyond helpful and patient with me and my many changes. The cake was everything we wanted and more! Aesthetically pleasing gets 5 stars, but taste wise..... OMG 10 STARS!!! It was so moist and satisfying!!! I couldn't have been happier!!! Will definitely not only recommend but I'll be back as a return customer for his first bday cake and any event in between then

    My first experience with Sweet It Is! was great! Our custom birthday cake wasn't only designed to perfection but also delicious! Top layer was pound, and bottom was vanilla with buttercream icing. Thank you for bringing our vision to life. Would use their services again. My kid was thrilled to finally see the transformers cake he has requested for months!

    Awesome job

    Kudo's to Sweet it is for an amazing Panther's jersey cake for my son's birthday party! The cake was exactly what I asked for and was a beautiful creation to look at. Everyone at the party enjoyed it and my son was so excited. The fondant was not bitter but instead had a nice flavor to it. Looking forward to trying other goodies from you in the future.

    Thank you so much for the Panther Cake and Patriots cupcakes. They were AMAZING!!! All the guest asked where I got them from and I told them SWEET IT IS!!! Ordered on a Wednesday and received by Saturday! Can't thank you enough. My order was perfect and everyone was happy. Had to hide some cupcakes from the kids!!! Will be back for some more!!! LOVE IT!!!

    Our wedding cake looked and tasted amazing! Lori was very understanding to my indecisiveness when trying to decide what I wanted. I will be reordering soon.

    BLOWN AWAY!!!

    I really dont think there are enough hours in the day for me to tell you about my experience with this baker. Lori is absolutely THE BEST!!!!!! I only gave her an "Idea" of how I wanted my son's graduation cake and she TOOK IT TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL!!! The detail in his cake was UNBELIEVABLE!!! He is a sneakerhead and the Jordan shoe on his cake was so lifelike he didnt even want to cute into it! now all of this was on the design and look of the cake, we have not even begun to discuss how INCREDIBLY MOIST THIS CAKE WAS!!!! I changed it from Marble to red velvet a week before and she was gracious enough to allow me to make the change so close to the time I needed the cake. Again I could go on and on about this bakery but you MUST try it for yourself!!! You will NOT be disappointed!!!!! THANK YOU LORI!!!!!!!!!

    This cake was amazing! First off it is HEAVY. The flavors, moist essay, and texture were perfect. This fed 15 people with slices left over.

    Lori did a fabulous job on the custom cake for my husbands surprise birthday party. He is a former DJ and still loves to play on his turntables. So I sent Lori pics of my husband's turntable and his favorite song. Lori and her team nailed it. So happy with the results and the chocolate cake tasted unbelievably delicious.

    Lori was so quick to respond to my last minute custom cake request! She gave me a very reasonable quote much lower than the competition and it came out exactly how I imagined!!!

    SO DELICIOUS

    I ordered a birthday cake for my son from Lori and sent her a design of a character my son likes. She went above and beyond to make such a perfect cake! The design was incredible and better than the idea I sent her! Lori is as sweet as her cakes and I am SO glad I ordered from her! Easy transaction and fast communication! Everyone loved the birthday cake and thought it was perfect!!! Thank you Lori, I'm looking forward to eating my leftover piece of cake (I mean my son is looking forward to it...)

    Mrs. Lori was awesome to work with and was highly recommended. Mr.s Lori was so easy to work with, from our initial cake tasting to random questions about our cake throughout the wedding planning process...this was one area of the wedding that I didn't have to worry or stress about. Unfortunately, my husband and I only had a small bite of the cake when we fed each other, but our guests are still raving about the red velvet cake! We have our top tier in our freezer, awaiting our first anniversary - we can't wait to eat it. Thank you again!!!!

    I worked with Lori to get my boyfriend a birthday cake. I'm operating on a budget and she was awesome about giving me options to bring the price down. She ended up giving us the most amazing cake that exceeded all expectations at a very reasonable price. She was awesome to work with and I couldn't be happier with the cake.

    Last minute birthday cupcakes that were divine!

    What a beautiful experience with Bloom Cupcakes!…read more I had the absolute pleasure of working with Lorrie, the owner of Bloom Cupcakes, and I cannot recommend her enough. I found her online while planning a last-minute 90th birthday celebration for my mother, and I was immediately drawn to the elegance and artistry of her cupcake designs. I knew I didn't want the typical IG cake covered in thick fondant. What I wanted was something unique, beautiful, and fitting for such a monumental occasion. With only a week to go, I reached out, and Lorrie picked up the phone right away. From our very first conversation, I felt at ease. She didn't sugarcoat her availability or make empty promises. She was honest, realistic, and incredibly thoughtful in walking me through what she could create given the time and my vision. She asked all the right questions: about the theme, colors, decor, and what I hoped the cupcakes would convey. That same day, she sent me a sketch of her design plan, and I knew I had found the right person. Lorrie delivered exactly what she promised: gorgeous, custom cupcakes that wowed every single guest. Not only were they stunning to look at, but they were also moist, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. She even offered to help set them up at the venue, a gesture that speaks to her kindness and commitment to making sure everything is just right. People couldn't stop talking about the cupcakes, including the venue owner, who asked for her business cards on the spot! Lorrie is not only incredibly talented and professional, she's also just a lovely human being. I felt like I was working with a friend from day one. Every cupcake was worth every penny, and I will absolutely be using Bloom Cupcakes again for future events.

These cupcakes would be fabulous for any occasion. We've purchased multiple 4 packs and the decorating is always on point. Bloom is continuing to work on new designs. Their current designs are so intricate that it makes the cake too pretty too eat. Then you bite into 1 and can't stop w/just 1. These cupcakes are the absolute bomb!!!

I informed the cashier, that I requested vegan for a specific reason and something else would not be efficient. I then requested a refund, to which she replied, only the owner could issue a refund and that would have to be done the next day. With this being the first time patronizing this business, this was a bad business practice and I would not recommend this business to anyone looking for a specific order. The decent thing would have been to call me and let me know that my order would not be fulfilled, instead of making me waste my time traveling to a location which was 20 minutes away from my home. BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES, AND NOT RECOMMENDED.

There are baked goods, desserts, and brunch and sandwich options, several of which have Dominican or other Latino roots. I had the chimi sandwich, which was delicious. A chimi is a Dominican street food, served almost like a burger, served with shredded cabbage in a mayoketchup sauce. La Dolcekca's chimi is a sandwich, and a dang good one at that. Absolutely delicious, and a sizable portion at that, served with a side of French fries. I also had a jugo de chinola (maracuya for most Latinos; passionfruit juice for non-Spanish speakers). Aside from the food being delicious, this place is adorable. This is clearly a business that someone really cares about. The decorations are super cute and feminine, with florals and several Parisian references. Bathroom is clean and tidy, as is the rest of the business. I am so glad I finally got to stop by and support this woman-owned, Latino-owned establishment. I am thoroughly looking forward to coming back soon!

Her two daughters are as determined and driven as she is as well as amazing chefs. I would go here religiously for lunch over the last year and I also brought all my coworkers anytime It was my turn to pick where we ate for lunch. It's tucked away and you probably wouldn't see it unless you were going there purposely. Once you get in, it's a very eclectic, antique, floral and colorful it's just a happy feeling when you walk into this bakery. All the different plates and tea cups that they have on the back counter behind the register are so cute. ALL the food from desserts to lunch to taking a BOX of empanadas for dinner... Everything is delicious. Nothing lacks flavor. I always come for the flan because it's the perfect texture. I could eat a whole pan. The beef empanadas go quickly so call in early if you wanna get an order in for lunch. I'm still working my way through all of the desserts so I recommend going on an empty stomach because you have lots of options to choose from. Give the drink of the month a try too!

    If you've got a sweet tooth, Suarez Bakery is a must-stop--no debate…read more I was out running around today and decided to swing by one of my go-to spots in Charlotte, and as always, they did not disappoint. I picked up their strawberry chiffon cake, and let me just say... it's still top tier. Light, moist, and just melts in your mouth without being overly sweet--exactly how a cake should be done. I also grabbed an éclair (because self-control wasn't on the agenda) and two long johns. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and worth every bite. What I really respect about Suarez is their consistency. The service is always fast, the space is clean, and they keep things moving without sacrificing quality. Whether you're popping in for a quick treat or placing a custom order, they've got you covered--cakes, cupcakes, cookies, donuts, all of it. Bottom line: 10/10 recommend. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out. Stop by and thank me later.

The bakery focuses on small-batch, homemade pastries and artisan baked goods, and there are definitely some standouts. The dulce de leche pastries are fantastic, and anything with guava is usually a great choice. Compared to the Optimist Hall location, the aesthetics here feel a little more understated. The display case was a bit sparse during my visit, though they did have some seasonal cookies available. One thing I wish they had is outdoor seating--it would be nice to grab a pastry and enjoy it outside. Parking here is very easy since it's in a large shopping center, which makes it a convenient stop. I also wish they stayed open later, because it would be a great place to grab dessert after dinner given how many restaurants are nearby. Insider tip: If you're visiting, keep an eye out for the dulce de leche or guava pastries--they're some of the best items in the case. Overall, a solid bakery stop for artisan pastries and baked treats, especially if you're already in the Park Road area.
