    Beautiful Wedding Cake!

    Jenya and Andrew worked their wedding cake magic within a short notice. Jenya was responsive and detailed in her emails so as to get the wedding cake just right. My friend and I wanted to gift our friend just the right cake for her special day, since there would not be a reception due to the pandemic. They absolutely loved the cake and said it was so delicious, too. Now I want to order my own cake from Honey Bee to enjoy!

    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!!

    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!

    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.
    Look no further for your wedding cake baker for Northern Virginia! Jenya will not disappoint!

    Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!

    We absolutely had a great experience from the time we reached out to Honeybee until the day our cake was delivered. We sampled there beautiful cakes back in March and were immediately impressed from March - November 2023, any question we had we always got a prompt response. We showed them an inspo pic and they delivered and surpassed our expectations. The cake was delicious and beautiful!!!!! We are so happy and our guest raved all evening.

    Best Wedding Cake Ever!

    We loved our wedding cake from Honey Bee Pastries! Jenya was wonderful to work with. The tasting box she gave to us was so much fun, and we loved selecting our flavors. On our wedding day, the cake exceeded expectations! The design was exactly what we had envisioned, and it was delicious as well. Many of our guests told us it was the best wedding cake they have ever had- and we absolutely agree! We are looking forward to ordering an anniversary cake in about 1 year. Thank you so much for making our day so memorable and special!

    Our cake was amazing!

    I had a difficult time finding a bakery that could accommodate my peanut allergy, and Honey Bee Pastries was up to the task! The cake looked stunning and was absolutely delicious! We have received so many compliments from guests about how good the cake was, especially the fudgy chocolate cake. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in the market for a wedding cake or a cake to mark any other special occasion!

    This is your cake vendor!!!

    My husband and I absolutely LOVED our wedding cake and would recommend Honey Bee Pastries and Jenya to anyone in need of a delicious, high-quality cake! Jenya was extremely helpful in answering all of our questions and working with us to find the perfect cake design that we wanted. After pricing out many other costly cake options in Nova, her prices proved to be extremely reasonable, and the quality of her cake was unparalleled. My husband and I ended up with lots of leftover cake (we had guests leave early), and we have been thoroughly enjoying our frozen cake leftovers! Would totally order again and HIGHLY recommend!!!!

    Best Cake Ever!

    Wow! First I want to begin by saying that Jenya is incredible to work with! When choosing a baker we honestly wanted something very affordable but also delicious and Jenya exceeded our expectations! We chose to do a two layer cake for myself and my husband to cut, and then did a sheet cake for all of our guest. The cake was incredibly moist and so delicious!! Our guest raved about the quality!!! Job well done!!

    So Talented!!!

    We so loved getting to work with Jenya to bring our dream to life. She helped in creating memories of an unforgettably beautiful and delicious cake that will last a lifetime.

    From first interaction to last, she was a consummate professional, with excellent communication, appreciation to detail, and ability to take our vision, enhance it, and bring it to life. We are grateful for her expertise, timeliness, and talent. Her tasting package reflected her attention to detail and flair – and perfectly allowed us to make a choice among her offerings. We appreciated her your timeliness on the day of the wedding, and collaboration with our florist to place flowers on the cake.

    Guests are still raving about not only how gorgeous the cake was but also how delicious the cake was. And we especially appreciated Jenya's willingness to work our detail of a small dog figurine into her design. She flawlessly understood our idea and enhanced it – the small dog with frosting on its mouth was such a personal and unique addition! Highly recommend.

    Say YES to the CAKE!

    We love CAKE! As soon as my daughter got engaged the one thing we were mostly looking forward to was the cake tasting. Believe me, we searched all across the DMV for someone who can live up to our high standards. We wanted a wedding cake that was not only beautiful but delicious. We were ready to give up thinking there was no one out there who could meet our needs. Thank goodness we found Honey Bee Pastries. At first bite, we knew they were the one. We got a take home tasting box which allowed us to try different cakes, frosting and flavors. We ultimately chose two different flavors, Red Velvet and Lemon Raspberry. Jenya’s cakes were moist, fresh and absolutely delicious. From start to finish she was friendly, knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. Jenya understood my daughter’s vision for her wedding cake. She was very easy to work with, she offered recommendations and was very responsive. She was also accommodating for all the dietary restrictions (gluten free/nut free) that we were concerned about. Jenya made the most delicious gluten free cake for the bride. My daughter said it was the BEST cake she ever had! Thank you Jenya for making my daughter’s dream wedding cake into a reality. Honey Bee Pastries was by far our favorite vendor to work with. We highly recommend them for any event.

    Jenya and Andrew were professional and fexible and very helpful in deciding on the flavor of the cake. The cake itself was extremely tasty and also looked beautiful. They were also helpful answering all my questions. The cake was delivered on time. The bride and the groom and all the guests loved the cake. I am very happy with the cake the "HONEYBEE PASTRIES" provided for us and we would do it again.

    Best tasting & looking wedding cake!

    Honeybee Pastries created such a special and beautiful cake for our wedding day. Jenya worked with us throughout the process to create a gorgeous, lace-detailed cake with live flowers, and two flavors! We were drawn to her expertise on both the cake’s beauty and delicious taste. It was gorgeous, and her placement of the flowers looked phenomenal. We are looking forward to our cake topper for our anniversary!

    The BEST Wedding Baker!!

    I absolutely loved working with Honey Bee Pastries! Jenya and her husband have been phenomenal through the entire process of our wedding cake macarons, cupcakes, and cookies! The tasting was incredible and the day of our wedding was JUST as yummy! I’ve never tasted wedding cake as delicious as this as most has been dry when we tasted other vendors!

    Absolutely recommend and we will order our 1 year anniversary cake with them versus freezing our cake. ☺️🥳

    Delicious and Beautiful Cakes!

    We could not have been more thrilled with our wedding cake! We got a beautiful 3-tier cake for about 75 wedding guests. We ordered two flavors - chocolate with caramel buttercream and vanilla cake with lemon buttercream and raspberry jam. The lemon and raspberry cake was hands down the best cake I've ever had! Easy communication with the vendor, and overall a positive experience.

    Absolutely Gorgeous and Delicious Cake

    The team were great with communication. We had several meetings to plan out our design and the cake transportation. Their cake tasted so amazing! It was light, moist and wonderful. We got an almond cake and chocolate cake with buttercream frosting. They created a beautiful cascade of cherry blossoms along our cutting cake that made all our guests ooh and aaah. Our cutting cake had two tiers, one almond and one chocolate. We would order their cakes for any and every event in our future. They were very accommodating with arranging a safe tasting during the COVID pandemic.

    Absolutely love this cake! -Coming from a cake hater

    Best cake in the area!!! I am not a big cake fan in general, I do not typically like it. So looking for a wedding cake was not a major priority of mine. After trying various local bakeries, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked Honeybee cakes. Not only was I shocked by the taste, but the flavors were all good. If I do go for cake, it is usually a light/vanilla flavor, but the chocolate was extremely good as well! There is a variety of flavors, but most notable, was that they are not too rich in flavor and are extremely moist cakes. We had two flavors for our wedding cake to provide options, and we loved both of them. We loved the flavor of Honeybee cakes and will always go back to honeybee for any occasion needed.

    Looking for leftovers

    After a great deal of research, my husband and I selected Honey Bee Pastries to create our wedding cake. Honey Bee Pastries designed a two-tier wedding cake with a coastal autumn theme. They incorporated our painted pottery turtles into the design. The chiffon lemon with raspberry filling and chiffon with passion fruit filling cakes were delicious!!

    They were extremely easy to work with (including making several tasting boxes available at different times due to COVID restrictions.) Honey Bee Pastries was also reasonably priced for the Washington, D.C. area. We would highly recommend using them for all your catering bakery needs.

    Delicious Wedding Cake and the Best Experience

    Choosing to work with Honey Bee Pastries for our wedding was the absolute best choice! Jenya is so kind, accommodating and prompt to respond to email communication. Our cake was even more beautiful than we pictured and tasted absolutely amazing! We received a lot of compliments from the guests on how delicious it was. Jenya also made a Groom's Cake for the rehearsal dinner that was amazing! We loved supporting this amazing local business for our wedding and can't wait to work with them again in the future for other life events :) We couldn't recommend them enough!!
