Kellan Sent on 07/23/2020Above and beyond. Sally is so wonderful to work with!
I had a very specific vision in mind when I was looking for a cake for my wedding. Sally's painted buttercream cakes are so beautiful and unique and exactly what I was looking for, I scheduled a tasting with her immediately and as soon as I tasted how DELICIOUS her cakes are, we signed the contract. Sally helped us come up with a beautiful design to match our wedding florals and color scheme using a sample invitation and swatch from the bridesmaids dresses. When COVID-19 hit, Sally was SO flexible with us and even worked with us to make a smaller cake for our 25-person mini wedding. The design was PERFECT and the case was so delicious! Our guests gasped when they first saw our cake and I could hear all of the excited "mmm!"'s down the table as people took their first bite. We plan to use her to have our originally planned larger cake for a post-pandemic reception next year and I know it will be perfect! If you're looking for a beautiful and unique wedding cake without sacrificing taste, look no further! -

Sally was an absolute joy to work with! She created a timeless yet modern cake for my husband and I on our wedding day. We wanted a smaller cake for just that two of us with a cheesecake filling which was hard to come by. Sally was our saving grace and worked with us to make it happen! She was patient and kindhearted taking the time to design a custom cake that was within our price range that still looked elegant and tasted delicious. I cannot speak highly enough about the experience I had with Sally and am incredibly grateful for her kindness. I will definitely be referring Sally to future couples and hope to work with her again for future events! -

Peiyao Sent on 11/24/2022Sally is the best!!!!! Plz let her make your cake!!
I was looking for hand-painted wedding cakes to fit my garden-like/whimsical wedding day vibe and Sally’s work immediately caught my eyes!!!
I was planning my own wedding in just 30 days and now I look back I feel this is the best decision I’ve made for my wedding.
Sally is efficient in communication, professional in her work, has amazing taste and vision in cake design, not to mention her cakes are beyond delicious!
At first I did not have a clear picture of what kind of style I like best so I just showed her some inspo photos. We had a 10min zoom meeting and thats it. Seeing her work through her ig (thecakebee) I just know Sally is on top of everything!
The cake delivered by Sally was marvelous and has everything I wanted even tho I did not know what it would look like in the first place!
Both the style and the flavor are top notch!!! (We all know how hard it can be)
All my friends took tons of picture/ and complimented on how delicious the cake and desserts were! I even took some pride in it myself and showed them how Sally made the cake step by step in her IG.
Her tasking box was so delicious we finished everything in 5min! I asked her for light sweetness and she knew what I want exactly! I personally love the hand-painted ones made from Italian buttercream as they are aesthetic, exquisite, and has that vintage baroque vibe in it which is a great add for many wedding scenes/venues.
I beg you all please choose Sally for your wedding cake!!!!! She is the best >. -

My husband and I LOVED our wedding cake! It was so PERFECT. It was even better than what I had imagined. Plus, working with Sally was so easy and enjoyable! She is really great! Our cake was a huge hit, and honestly the best wedding cake place in the DMV! We tried around 6 places and cakebee won above them all! -

We found Cakebee on a whim and I immediately wanted to hire them based off photos alone! Sally's work is impeccable and unmatched in our opinion. And that's just the decorating! The quality of cake and icing is absolutely unmatched. Fluffy, light and not too sweet with amazing custom flavors. If you are looking for a Bespoke Cake to match your uniqueness, look no further than Cakebee. We gave Sally full creative control and she did not disappoint! -

Amazing Baker! Cake design and taste was wonderfully amazing!!! Sally was wonderful to work with. Over a couple of calls and emails Sally created our perfect cake. We had a pink lemonade cake with white chevron design. It pleased what myself and my now wife wanted for our wedding cake. We received compliments from all our guests. We were so overjoyed that so so may enjoyed it.
Not only our Wedding cake, but I also had Sally create a Groom's Cake that we had at our reception dinner. The Groom's cake blew my expectations. I provided a general description of what I wanted, and it was done perfect. I can't wait to have another event to order a cake from Cakebee. We look forward to ordering a cake for our 1-year anniversary.
Thank you so much Cakebee/Sally.
Regards,

Karen Sent on 04/07/2022The best cake designer I’ve EVER seen
Delicious, beautiful, unique, and creative. Hands-down the best wedding cake I’ve ever laid eyes on. And an endless amount of flavor combinations. I went with Boston cream pie. I’m literally going to go back and get samples throughout the year because I can’t stop eating it. I told Sally I wanted unique and she certainly delivered. Check out the photo! So amazing!!!! I’m so happy!!!!! -

Andrew Sent on 12/05/2021Beautiful, delicious cake and desserts for our wedding day!
We found Sally and Cakebee through Wedding Wire way back in 2019 as we were looking for someone close to our venue in Warrenton and boy are we so glad we did! Trust us, if you’re looking for a cake that will be the talk of the reception both visually and on sheer deliciousness, go with Sally!
We had met Sally for our initial tasting and design brainstorm back in March 2020, before things went haywire with Covid-19. She hosted us at her home in a beautiful dining room and served us all the delicious flavors we picked from her list along with some tea. It was delightful. All the flavors were delicious but we decided to go with a 4 tier design that split two flavors, fall maple and chocolate with a buttercream frosting. Sally worked with us on the spot on design inspiration and sketched out a rough design we loved.
Then… Covid. We had to reschedule our wedding from Oct. 2020 to Oct 2021. Sally was so accommodating and understanding. We so appreciated it with the stress of pushing back a year.
We regrouped with Sally in May of 2021 and confirmed the details. Then we realized in September, about 7 weeks before our wedding, that we might need a few more desserts. Sally was kind enough to show us our offerings for a dessert table and said it would be no problem to add. They were MUCH better sounding/looking than what our venue offered, so it was a no brainer. We ended up getting 96 mini cupcakes and 96 cake shooters of a variety it Sally’s recommended flavors.
Let me tell you, not only were the aesthetics of the cake perfect with every detail we described perfectly incorporated, including the most beautiful and lifelike sugar flowers you could ever imagine, and the deliciousness of the fall maple and chocolate a big conversation topic, but everyone raved over the cupcakes and cake shooters as well. We couldn’t have been happier, and it was all thanks to Sally. You could not find someone who will take such great detail in design AND provide such delicious flavors as Cakebee.
Also, in the interim of the Covid delay we reached out to Sally for some holiday desserts (mini pies and tarts) and a Yule Log cake for our 2020 family Christmas. She doesn’t advertise them on her wedding site but she does all sorts of amazing treats. They were DELICIOUS. We highly recommend those as well. Sally is a master of her craft in everything she creates.

Ravin Sent on 10/01/2021Beautiful AND delicious
I can’t say enough about Sally and her delicious cake, it was probably one of my favorite things about my wedding. Out of all the vendors I chose for my wedding day, TheCakeBee probably was #1 my best decision. Her cake was not only beautiful, exactly what I asked for if not better, but it was absolutely delicious. My guests were coming up to me to tell me how much they loved the cake (I chose chocolate malted pretzel). Her flavors are all unique, and the taste is unlike any other cake I’ve tried. I would 12/10 recommend her and I plan to reach out to Sally for any of my future cake needs! Thank you so much Sally! -

Cakebee and Sally are the very best! We ordered our wedding cake through Sally and she was so professional, kind, easy to communicate with, and made our experience an all around breeze. Our wedding cake was BEAUTIFUL! Everyone complimented how beautiful and delicious the cake was all night long! Our cake was made with fake flowers but you cannot even tell. So delicious and wonderful! We were so happy with our experience! -

Alex Sent on 08/20/2021The Most Exquisite and Unique Cakes with Exception Flavor
Sally is the best! From our cake tasting - in the cutest little jars - to helping us customize flavors and design our cake vision, Sally was there every step of the way. We expressed an allergy concern with her and she told us she would even ensure she was not working with that ingredient the week of our wedding to be sure that there would be no cross-contamination. We went with the torn paper ruffles cake which was a show stopper! Everyone was taking pictures of it - and eating it! We had NOT ONE piece of cake left over! Not to mention - Sally drove this cake 3 HOURS to us for our Maryland wedding. Highly recommend Sally and her beautiful creations! -

Sally was a dream to work with. Stress-free even in the midst of covid chaos. She was super easy to reach, her pricing was more than reasonable, and the cake looked exactly like what we wanted. It was beautiful, it tasted wonderful, and she delivered it without any problems. Thank you Sally, you're the best!! -

We were thrilled with our three tier wedding cake and really glad we opted for the artistic package! The cake was gorgeous!! It was almost too pretty to cut but all of it was gone by the end of the night, so we know it wasn't just looks. Sally is amazing and really works with you to make your vision come to life with delicious and fun flavors. She also made small surprise grooms cake for us that we ended up eating the next day at the farewell lunch. -

Wedding planning can be overwhelming. I first heard about 'Cakebee' through a co-worker. I was then excited to hear that she would be at one of the wedding expos I attended. After tasting one of her samples, I knew I had to book with her. I don't have the right words to describe it, it's like HEAVEN. One of my wedding guests said, "it was sex!" HAHA. I am so happy that Sally created my cake with her artistic package. One of the things I loved most about her is she never made me feel like I was asking too many questions. We went back and forth via email during the pandemic. She was patient and kind as I had to postpone my wedding 3 times!!! THANK YOU SO Much Sally. You are amazing! Btw- She also made my guest favors-- 150 cake pops!!! -

CakeBee/Sally is an amazing artist. Not only are her cakes beautiful but they taste as good as they look. The cake was moist and flavorful. Even the tasting was great, we went to her home and she served so many different cakes/icing combinations along with hot tea -

Ben L. Sent on 11/09/2020A cake to remember!
Sally is both a pleasure to work with and an amazing baker! We had a great time doing our tasting with her, felt no pressure but walked away knowing we wanted to have her make our wedding cake. Her designs are incredible and incredibly tasty! We had many guests comment that they had never seen a wedding cake so stunning and couldn't believe that her sugar flowers weren't real! Both flavors of cake tasted amazing and were huge hits (one guest commented (while going for seconds) that wedding cake is so often just an after thought but that he would definitely remember this cake). We will be going to Sally for all of our cake needs moving forward! -

Sally helped my husband and I bring our dream of having a fairytale wedding come to life with the gorgeous cake she custom made just for us. Sally’s customer service was exceptional, and she even sent us complimentary samples of her cake flavors that we did not get a chance to try at the tasting.
Upon our first cake tasting Sally greeted us with a delightful charm and charisma which initiated a pleasant vibe throughout the meeting. An elegant place setting was set up for our arrival, which included bottled waters and hot tea, complete with sugar cubes and chic tea cups. Sally also displayed a few of her previous wedding cake design models at the meeting for our viewing.
We showed Sally a few of our designs that we preferred, and she was able to draft a few images for our liking within minutes. Sally also made sure to construct us a model of the cake size we wanted, so we could get a better perception. She went through various sizes of the Styrofoam cake figures until we were pleased with the results.
Not only was Sally’s designs unique with superb craftsmanship. We found her services to be affordable and precise to the qualities we deemed necessary. After hiring Sally as our wedding cake designer, we were very pleased to see all of Sally’s efforts in achieving our vision by keeping in contact with our planner on any updates with the cake. Sally even coordinated the floral arrangements surrounding our cake to match the flowers we used from the florist. The additional flowers added an innovative effect that we loved. Sally also made sure to check in with us when we started to approach the wedding date, making sure to remind us to bring a cake topper and stand. We rented a white stand from her team which made the task of buying a stand convenient for us.
We are so grateful to have worked with The Cake Bee team for our wedding. I anticipate keeping a relationship with this marvelous company in the future. We will be ordering our one-year anniversary cake from Cake Bee. I will recommend their services to anyone who is in the need of superior desserts and delightful client service.
Thank You to Sally & the Cake Bee Team for making our perfect wedding cake.

Wendy Sent on 03/11/2020Beautiful Wedding Cake!
I found Cakebee at a bridal expo and absolutely fell in love with her cake! She was very flexible in setting up an appointment with me and I did my cake tasting at the comfort of her home. She does charge $35 for a cake tasting but this does get applied to the overall cake price so not a bad deal!
I had looked at a few other cake vendors before Sally but felt like another transaction rather than a person. Sally was the complete opposite...she was very warm, inviting and personable! She genuinely wanted to make sure that my wedding cake was perfect and it was! I chose the Boston cream flavor for the cake and also, had Sally make some smaller desserts as well. We had very little cake left over and all the desserts were gone at the end of the night! Her cake is very light, refreshing and her fondant was by far the best I've ever tasted. Thank you Sally for making my wedding day perfect and I can't wait to taste our top tier on our one year anniversary! :)

Sally is an artist! She and I spoke a lot before my actual Wedding day in order to make sure the vision for my cake would come to life. She is incredibly responsive and so easy to talk to. My cake came out exactly as I pictured it, even better! My husband and I couldn't make it to the DMV area to have a cake tasting because we live out of state, but Sally was insistent that we sample her work so she went above and beyond to deliver these beautiful little pieces of cake all the way to my parents house just so that we could try them when we arrived in state. I mean, that is true dedication. And let me tell you, I am addicted to cake, and this cake was BEYOND delicious. Everyone at my wedding wanted to know who made it. Not only that, but it was gorgeous, Sally's sugar flowers are a work of art. I'm so sad I didn't get to somehow save one - thats how beautiful they are! If you want a beautiful cake that tastes like heaven on your Wedding Day, please look no further. Sally is truly the Cake Boss! -

Helen Sent on 07/15/2019Amazing wedding cakes!
We were absolutely blown away by the beautiful, delicious wedding cake Sally made for our wedding! For the tasting, she prepared all kinds of icing and cake flavors for us to try and helped us pick out the perfect flavor combination. She worked with us to design a cake that fit our wedding theme and our budget. The cake was absolutely gorgeous and, most of all, tasted amazing. My husband absolutely loved it even though he isn't typically a big fan of sweets. We're looking forward to enjoying the top layer that we preserved for our one year anniversary. It was a pleasure to work with Sally and we wholeheartedly recommend her cakes! -

Ashley Sent on 09/04/2013I first found Sally’s Cakebee site through weddingwire earlier this year. She had some reviews, all great and so I decided to check out her webpage. I loved her site and her gallery page. Sally was our first tasting and I loved how she set it up. I was expecting to walk in and try various “mini” cakes, but instead she laid out each cake selection (I believe she lets you pick 4) and various icings (I believe we picked 5). With this setup we were able to try multiple combinations of cake/icing and determine which was perfect for us. Once we were finished she even packed up the leftover cake and icings for us to take home and “think on.” After trying 2 other cake vendors, we kept making comparisons to Sally and determined Cakebee was our choice. For our wedding we chose vanilla cake with alternating tiers of strawberry and caramel toffee crunch, it was covered in buttercream. We LOVED our cake, and so did all of our guests. They’re still talking about it days later. Sally is very easy to work with and she definitely looks to help you where she can. I highly recommend working with her and I hope to use her again for events in the future. -

Margaret Sent on 09/27/2011Sally made our wedding and grooms cake for our reception on 9/10/11. The tasting was very organized, comfortable and professional.
The wedding cake was beautiful, unique and tasted amazing. The grooms cake was a surprise for my husband and Sally helped me decide on a design. He's a Marine so we picked a cake in the shape of a uniform dress hat. It was SO cool and my husband loved it. She also arranged fresh flowers on the wedding cake which gave it a certain elegance. Many of our guests complimented the taste and design of the cakes.
Sally was an absolute joy to work with, her cakes were wonderful and I intend to recommend and use her services in the future.
