n. On the actual wedding day, her delivery to the venue was stress-free and easy, and she did a wonderful job using some of our fresh florals to decorate the cake. On top of all that, the cake tasted delicious as well! Highly recommend!
Sally from Cakebee created the most stunning cake for our wedding—it was everything I dreamed of and more! The design was absolutely gorgeous, with every detail crafted to perfecti...
on. It truly felt like a centerpiece for our day. And it tasted simply incredible. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about it.
Sally was such a pleasure to work with throughout the process, listening to my vision and making it come to life better than I imagined. If you’re looking for a cake that’s both beautiful and delicious, I can’t recommend Cakebee enough!
Let me start by saying I am obsessed with the wedding cake Sally made us! It perfectly matched with the vibe of the wedding and was almost like decoration for the reception until w...
e cut it. Sally was great to work with and made great recommendations, like going with 4 tiers instead of 3, which gave the cake so much presence! I was able to take different components from other cakes Sally had posted on her instagram and request the aspects I wanted for mine, and it turned out exactly how I wanted. We got so many comments on our cake, both for how beautiful it was and for it being delicious!
One of our vendors recommended Cakebee to us, and after trying a sampling of cakes we decided to go with them. Sally was great throughout the process. She spoke to us about what we...
would like, the colors, the feeling and so on. We selected a two tier cake, and asked for a sugar cake topper of two birds. The cake was springtime flavor which is vanilla honey cake with apricot buttercream. Sally made a draft drawing of the cake for us to review, which we were glad to have. We received multiple compliments on the cake design and taste, so it was a hit. Overall I highly recommend Cakebee.
Oh my! The cake!!! Sally is a true artist and baker. It’s incredibly hard to find a cake that looks great AND tastes great. If you’re like me and want something incredible for your...
special day, just stop looking cause you’ve found it. Cakebee has it all. From the first moment we spoke to the day of wedding I did not feel an ounce of worry that it’ll look amazing and my loved ones would love it. Instagram photos from our guests all included her masterpiece and plenty of comments about it throughout our day. I am just so proud and incredibly honored we had the opportunity to work with such an amazing person and we’ll definitely be finding any excuse to go back to her in the future.
Sally is absolutely AMAZING! We worked with her for our wedding cake and we were completely in love with the produce. Not only was the cake the delicious but it was simply stunning...
, all of our guests were raving about it! Sally is also such a sweet person and a joy to work with. 100% recommend booking her!!!
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! Th...
e 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! (we ordered cake, cupcakes and shooters)
Sally is not only a fantastic baker, but her cakes are a true work of art! As soon as I saw pictures of her work, I knew she was the one. However, she still blew our expectations o...
ut of the water! I wanted a cake that looked like a field of wildflowers and she totally delivered. So many of our guests took photos of our cake because it was incredibly beautiful. Not only was our cake stunning, but it was also one of the most delicious cakes I've ever tasted. Our cake was 4 tiers, containing 2 different flavors. We also purchased an additional sheet cake with a 3rd flavor. It was fun having a variety and they were all equally amazing. Sally was so easy to work with and very sweet and cheerful. I am 100% happy we worked with Sally and would recommend her to anyone!
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 pin...
k 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,
Reggie & Audrey
I recently had a wedding with a cake from Sally of CakeBee’s. Sally was great from the start! We began planning our wedding during early 2021 when many things were still on restric...
tion due to Covid. Because of this we chose samples online and had them shipped to us and then met with Sally via Zoom to discuss our choices. Each sample was delicious and she had many options of cake, icing, and fillings. (We ended up going with vanilla buttercream – simple but delicious!). She asked what I envisioned my cake looking like and she even had me send a few photos of my dress which she used to create a lace texture around the cake that resembled my dress which was such a unique and thoughtful touch. She was very easy to communicate with and provides cake stand rentals as well. When I arrived at the venue for photos, she had already set everything up including placing flowers on the cake and my cake topper. It looked so beautiful, both in-person and in the photos, and everyone said it was delicious. Sally is both a fantastic person and a fantastic baker/artist – Highly recommend!
Delicious and beautiful! Sally was wonderful to talk to and really got to know us and our personalities and vision for the wedding before designing our cake. We got the artistic pa...
ckage and gave her complete control for style, and wow! She completely blew our expectations away!
We also got cupcakes and cake shooters which were also as beautiful as the were delicious! All in all, we will definitely be getting more scrumptious deserts from her in the future!
Sally was such a pleasure to work with! She clearly understood our vision from the very beginning and helped us get exactly what we wanted based on our guest count. I loved how she...
provided a sketch from our first conversation that really solidified that she knew what we wanted (and what she's doing!). Her cake flavors are also amazing!! Even though we were having a small wedding, we couldn't decide between all of the flavors (because they are SO good!) so we decided to have a small cake and cake jars, and we were so pleased with our decision! We selected Almond Raspberry, Almond Chocolate, Earl Grey Chocolate, and Springtime. Everyone spoke of not only how beautiful our cake was, but how delicious it was. Sally is kind, talented, and very easy to work with. We cannot wait to order more desserts from Sally in the future!
Sally is amazing! I loved working with her. She is such a talented designer and her cake was so delicious! Everyone of my guests were telling me even a week after my wedding how go...

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 pro...
bably 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 br...

Thank you Sally! The cake that you made for wedding was not only beautiful but delicious!

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 a small surprise grooms cake for us that we ended up eating the next day at the farewell lunch.
Sally is fabulous and makes a delicious and beautiful cake! She specially coordinated our colors into the cake, which we were able to do multiple different flavors. Our favorite pa...

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 was amazing to work with from our initial email to our zoom brain storm session she was gracious and professional every step of the way. We loved her cake samples so much we ...
ordered a cake 48 hrs prior for my husbands birthday and she delivered . Our wedding cake was absolutely everything we (l) had ever hoped for. Our friends and family are still raving about the strawberry fields flavor. I will forever be grateful for cakebee so much so we are already planning on ordering our Christmas deserts.
Sally was a joy to work with, she's responsive and professional. Her cake flavors are not only delicious but they are also unique! Even the rich flavors (ex. chocolate malted pretz...
el) are still light and easy to eat; her cake doesn't sit in your stomach like a brick as most wedding cake does. Besides making a cake full of flavor, Sally is a master at sugar flowers! I am so happy we did not have real flowers on our cake because Sally's flowers really are a piece of art! I would 100% recommend her and will be going back to Sally for any future cakes!
Sally was an absolute pleasure to work with! She took the time to understand exactly what my husband and I wanted for our wedding cake, and she went above and beyond to make sure t...
he cake, delivery, and overall service was perfect. We chose three different types of cake for our three layers, and we had an extremely difficult time narrowing it down to just those! I cannot stress enough how delicious the cake was!!! Everyone who tried it gave rave reviews. Needless to say, my husband and I are now thinking up all the reasons we possibly can to order more cakes from Cakebee :)
Cakebee’s cakes are complete works of art! When I was looking at websites to select a wedding cake for my daughter’s wedding, Cakebee’s photos and Sally’s story compelled me to cal...
l her. She is absolutely darling and completely put me at ease about our last minute request! My only dilemma was deciding which exquisite design to select! Incredibly, the cake was even more beautiful in person. Sally uses only the freshest ingredients including eggs from her backyard chickens! The taste was amazing - like something your grandmother might have made from scratch! Sally is the complete package. Not only is she an artist of the highest order, but she is a massively talented baker! We cannot wait to have another occasion to order one of her dreamy masterpieces! We will highly recommend Cakebee to everyone!
Cakebee is absolutely amazing! She was incredibly flexible, helpful, helpful and totally made us feel like this was not just another job, but personal! She was accommodating and wo...
rked with us tirelessly during the tastings and the creative stages. We LOVED how she made us feel like friends and not just clients. She even helped me pull of a secret cake for my husband, which HE LOVED!!! Cakes were both STUNNING and flavor was out of this world delicious! So happy to have found her and that she played such an important part of our special day! Thank you Cakebee!
I am so fortunate to have found sally who was detailed and attentive from the start. She was very response and her talent just shines. I didn't have a clear image of what I wanted...
and shared few pinterest pic. Well she somehow magically whipped up my dreamy wedding come true in real life. Everyone was amazed how beautiful it was and the flowers looks so real. And ofcourse the cake was delish!
My husband and I had an excellent experience working with Sally. Sally was extremely friendly, professional, and very attentive. Our cake came out even more beautifully than we cou...
ld have imagined. We received many compliments about the elegance and beauty of our cake. If you're looking for a cake baker you can trust to ensure that your cake comes out even better than expected, I would definitely recommend Cakebee every single time!!!
Sally was wonderful to work with! We ordered mini banana bread loaves as favors for our wedding, and they looked great and were delicious. Guests loved them and were asking for ext...
ras. A bonus was that they were nut-free so our guests with nut allergies could enjoy them as well. We had her tie a ribbon and put a sticker on the loaves, and each ribbon and sticker was tied and placed perfectly. She was super friendly and prompt with replying to emails. Highly recommend!
I can’t express enough how amazing Sally is. She presented the cutest cake tasting to make the process of creating the cake even easier than I thought. She is a very talented cake ...
artist. I had a specific vision and she made my dream cake a reality. I’m so thankful for Cakebee and wouldn’t chose any other cake artist than her.
