Next level talent!
Unbelievable flavors! I think we ended trying about 20 different types of cake/frosting combos, so you can imagine how hard it was to decide! From start to finish it was such an easy process. Jenya brought my vision to life and was blown away with her talent! Would hire her for any other event we have and need sweets!

Delicious and beautiful cake!
Jenya created the most beautiful wedding cake for us! We loved the flavors she gave us in her to-go tasting kit. We went with vanilla cake and strawberry buttercream, which was so delicious. She is very talented and perfectly understood our vision for the cake we were dreaming of. She is a great communicator as well. We highly recommend ordering a cake through her, you won’t regret it!

Absolutely Delicious!!!
We hired Honey Bee Pastries for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with our decision. We did tastings with a few bakeries before finding Honey Bee, but the moment we tried their cakes, we knew our search was over. Their flavors were simply outstanding.
Jenya was a joy to work with—professional, responsive, and accommodating throughout the entire process. We initially planned on a traditional wedding cake, but later switched to cupcakes for our guests, along with a couple’s cake just for us. Even when we needed to increase our cupcake order just a week before the big day, she handled it with ease.
The end result was phenomenal. The cupcakes were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. We received countless compliments from guests on how amazing they tasted.
If you’re searching for the perfect pastry team for your wedding, look no further than the exceptional team at Honey Bee Pastries!

The Wedding Desserts of our dreams!
Jenya at Honey Bee was great to work with! From the moment we met Jenya when we picked up our take-home cake tasting, we knew we would be in great, professional hands. Her cakes were all delicious with a light sponge, it was hard to pick just one! We decided on the chiffon cake with lemon buttercream and raspberry jam. She also has an impressive talent for decoration; we loved some of her previous designs that we saw on her social media, and she was able to tweak one of them to fit what we were looking for. It was truly a gorgeous cake. In addition to cake, we ordered a few different type of macarons as wedding favors, each of which had their own distinct, rich flavor. Our guests loved the cake and said that the macarons were some of the best they’d ever had.
Jenya was responsive on email and was available for a few calls to flesh out final details in the months before the wedding, and her expertise in how much cake/other desserts to order given our guest count was very helpful. Delivery on the wedding day was seamless.
We highly recommend Honey Bee Pastries to others looking for any desserts for a wedding / other occasions in the future!

Amazing Wedding Cake & Cupcakes!
We are so happy we selected Honey Bee Pastries for our wedding cake and cupcakes! Jenya was super responsive and absolutely amazing to work with. We went with a single tier cake (vanilla & vanilla buttercream) for our wedding cake and the final cake was absolutely stunning and delicious! For our guests we ordered an assortment of cupcake flavors which were a huge hit. We had no cupcakes left over at the end of the reception and after the wedding our guests continued to rave about the cupcakes. We will definitely be return customers for birthdays and other special events! Cannot recommend enough!

Beautiful and Delicious Dessert Table
Jenya did such a great job with the desserts for our dessert table. The treats were not only delicious but they looked beautiful. She worked with us to make sure that our vision came to life and we had a wide variety of treats that worked with our venue. My husband and I were enjoying leftovers for days after our wedding. Thank you!

Gorgeous & Delicious Wedding Cake
I'm so glad we chose Honey Bee Pastries for our wedding cake! Jenya is very professional, organized, and responsive to email. She answered all my questions and helped me come up with a plan for a 3-tier cutting cake plus a sheet cake. The cake tasting experience was great as well - we stopped by her home to pick up a box of different cake samples, took them home and tried them, and then I emailed her our selections (chiffon cake/lemon buttercream/raspberry jam, as well as the sheet cake with passion buttercream). She delivered the cake with no complications. The cake was classic and beautiful, and most importantly tasted amazing! Our guests loved the cake too. We took home leftovers and froze them, so we could continue to enjoy our wedding cake at home. Thank you so much, Honey Bee Pastries!

The Absolute BEST Tasting Wedding Cake
From our cake tasting to our actual wedding cake, Jenya and Andrew at Honey Bee Pastries were a DREAM to work with. We chose an almond flavored cake and a lemon raspberry flavored cake for our wedding. They were both unbelievably delicious. The frosting was the best frosting we've ever tasted as well. We were so happy with the design of our cake, the flavors, and our overall experience with Honey Bee Pastries. Highly recommend!!

Fabulous Cakes!
She brought my daughter's vision to life - with a delicious cake, made perfectly with such delicious flavors. It was a vanilla chiffon/raspberry cutting cake, so we had a chocolate/passion fruit sheet cake also. Yes, it is as good as it sounds! And she was so helpful with what amount/size to purchase, and very responsive with emails and phone calls.
