Not only was the decor nearly an exact copy of what I asked for, but the cake was absolutely delicious. We ordered a cake with lemon and lavender flavored layers and honey buttercream, and I fear I will never taste a cake that good again. They also nailed the pressed flowers on the side of the cake that I asked for.

I grew up baking and after many committed years in education, I decided to chase my dreams. I am now the owner and lead baker at Honey Baked Bee and I hope to one day pass it down to my daughters.

My husband and I love Honey Baked Bee, so we decided to go with them for our wedding cake - we could NOT have been more pleased. The cake was beautiful and tasted even better than ...

we hoped. I wish it would let me upload the video taken of our reaction to the first bite, immediate joy. When I tell you there was not a single piece of cake left. After all the warnings we got from people to get a smaller cake because there’s always too much leftover, I’m so happy we ignored them, because people went back for second and thirds. We had a tier of ube, one of earl grey, and one of traditional with blackberry filling. We also got honey chocolate chip cookies and today I had a coworker tell me she is demanding I bring a batch to our work conference in Chicago next week. At the wedding they were gone before I even got one. Our only regret was not hiding more of the cake for ourselves - could not recommend them more highly!

We cannot recommend Honey Baked Bee more for creating the perfect wedding cake for us! We live just a few blocks over from them and have never gotten anything less than delicious, ...

so it was a no brainer to add them to our special day. They unexpectedly created a huge cake tasting box so we could try a ton of combinations and helped us find the perfect mix of everything we love! We got endless compliments on the cake and love that we get to support a local business while reliving our wedding day each visit! Huge thank you to Shannon and everyone at Honey Baked Bee!
