About

Vanilla Bean Bake Shoppe is a locally owned and operated, home based bakery serving Eastern North Carolina. With a focus on made to order, always fresh, never frozen baked goods. Our wedding cakes are priced by the cake, not the slice. We believe each couple should pay for the cake they want, instead of the cake someone else had. We offer complimentary private tastings for all wedding cakes. Appointments are necessary, as we make your tasting items fresh just hours before arriving.

Still dreaming of this cake!

Working with Alison was a dream! My partner and I went to her home for the tasting and had a wonderful experience. The cakes and icings were all delicious, it was hard to choose a winner! We ultimately chose a red velvet cake with house and buttercream icings. It was so good, we had none left over! She also designed the cake beautifully, just as we discussed, even adding in some of our flowers to tie it all together. I would certainly recommend Vanilla Bean Bake Shoppe for any and all of your cake needs!

Amazing Baker! The next Sylvia Weinstock

Allison is so sweet, patient, and flexible! She is also so creative and made the wedding cake of our dreams and the grooms cake was impeccable! I am very picky up frosting and I told her I wanted the Sylvia Weinstock frosting and she delivered!! I have had PTSD from previous weddings with very dry and awful cake and holy moly her cake was so moist and amazing!! In fact, we have had her cake in the refrigerator for 3 months and we are still eating it and it still is so moist and tastes amazing!! This should definitely attest to the fact of how amazing Allison’s cakes are!

Amazing!!!

Allison is wonderful and brought our vision to life! We wanted a top tier cutting cake with assorted cupcakes (more options and covid friendly for our 2021 wedding). The raspberry icing is the best! We did a cake tasting at her house (where she has converted her garage into a commercial grade kitchen). There are so many options for flavors. She even gives you a complimentary cake for your 1 year anniversary (which we got ours today!)
