I loved the cake that I ordered, it looked gorgeous and s the first time ordering. It s super convenient and easy. I ordered the chocolate and caramel flavor. The cake on the outside s perfect but I s really disappointed in the taste. There s y too much icing in the middle and I feel the icing took away all the flavour. There s no caramel at all. I s really hoping to taste the chocolate cake but all I got s the flavour of the icing. Hopefully next time will be better
Beautiful, elegant cake that tasted delicious. The ordering process s simple and smooth, and the customer service s exceptional. Highly recommended!
Best cakes in town, hands down! All made in an array of beautiful pastel colours with Swiss meringue buttercream (think fluffy buttery icing that is NOT too sweet). They are tastefully decorated and can be completely customised. The website is super user friendly and you can basically get a quote online.
We had Honey Bee Baker make our wedding cake for us for our wedding 2 weeks ago. What an incredible and easy process from start to finish. Our cake s magnificent and better than we ever could have imagined.
We went into the process quite blind, going only on recommendations from our venue. We never met any of the lovely ladies in person, we just communicated over about flavours and ideas of what we nted. So, come the wedding day we had no idea what to expect, and we (and our guests) were completely blown away!
Thank you so much Natalie and team for giving me the wedding cake of my dreams. You are all incredible!
Honey Bee baker crafted a beautiful & delicious cake for my event, and were wonderful to work with. The cake s stunning, and so incredibly tasty!
The best and most beautiful cake I have ever seen and tasted. The guests at our 60th birthday party agreed and asked for the bakers name! Once the word spread on how delicious the cakes are, it s finished in a few minutes! Thank you so much Melissa! You are just absolutely amazing with your talents. You helped me with all the requests that I made and it s great working with you. You are simply THE a best!!!
WOW - Honey Bee Baker’s gourmet cookies are on another level! Soft, perfectly baked edges with a rich, gooey center that melts in your mouth. In my opinion, these are the best gourmet cookies on the market right now - hands down. I’ll definitely be buying again (and again)!
I would highly recommend Honey Bee Baker for any of your cake and dessert needs! They created an exceptionally beautiful cake for our big day and delicious cupcakes for everyone to enjoy!
