I wasn't able to finish my hot cocoa because it got too sweet for me at the end, but I still enjoyed it. The best part was the drinks came with a little chocolate bon bon.

I had previously decided to go with a different well known bakery in the Richmond, VA area but at the last minute they stopped communicating with me. I was in a panic trying to find another baker. Several people on Facebook recommended Confections of a Cake. When I contacted Ann, she replied back to me within minutes and we set up a time for a tasting that week. All the flavors were absolutely delicious. I was so excited and relieved to have found Ann! She was affordable and reliable. She delivered the cake and cupcakes on the day of the wedding and coordinated with the florist to make sure flowers were placed on the cake correctly. She even brought her own greenery to put on the cake! Since the wedding, I have already referred several people to Ann via facebook. 100% recommend Ann and Confections of a Cake!

I have seen some lovely pictures of this place on social media over the last few months, so I was…read moreexcited to try it. Unfortunately, I was a bit underwhelmed in person. Apparently the owner does a lot of custom work, which would be good because you know exactly what you are getting and when (and how much it will cost.) I stopped by Thursday right when they opened "for the week" since they are closed Monday through Wednesday. Several of the things we specifically came there for were out of stock or still baking. I know that she is trying to find the balance between baking enough for people to purchase, and eliminating waste, but it sort of made it look barren. The display case had one each of some of the stuff that was available, but I just didn't like how empty it made it feel. The shop also has a ton of other things displayed for you to buy, like essential oil bug spray, jewelry, woodcraft, etc, but then for a place called Honeybee BAKERY, the bakery seems like an afterthought when there is so much more other stuff than there are baked goods. The actual baked goods that we could try get sort of mixed reviews from me. I opted for a vanilla bean mini cake that ended up being $9, and a pumpkin cookie sandwich that was either $7 or $8. (There are no prices listed, so you have to ask.) The cake was cute, about the size of a really large cupcake (or two small cupcakes), and I definitely could have eaten the entire thing in one sitting, but I personally didn't care for the buttercream. I know it sounds like a totally *Karen* thing to say, but the buttercream is too buttery. Hear me out though, if you just eat something that is really butter-heavy and not a good ratio of powdered sugar and liquid, it actually just leaves this really greasy film in your mouth and on your lips in my opinion. The flavor was okay, but there was just way too much icing and therefore WAY too much butter so it was kind of unpleasant. The cookies were okay, but again, the buttercream in the center made it sort of unpleasant. Definitely eat them cold because the buttercream just slips and slides out if it is room temperature. I know for next time that I would just opt for the cookies. I would definitely suggest the bakery utilize social media way more to keep up to date on what is currently available, and list prices.
