I also gave Lauren very vague instructions for decorating and thought they turned out so pretty! We also had The Hive bake for our wedding! Our DAIRY FREE cake was lemon cake, berry filling, and vanilla icing. We also got lemon macaroons with raspberry filling. All of it had copper leaf decoration and looked stunning. You guys... I still dream about those desserts. People couldn't believe the cake was dairy free. It was so flavorful and moist. The macaroons melted in your mouth. My husband, who doesn't typically do desserts, was looking forward to cake leftovers when we got back from our honeymoon. Unfortunately there was not much leftover because all our guests had eaten it!!! Support this small business and enjoy your cake!

The shop is super cute. You can sit in and eat your cupcake or you can take it home. Just absolutely amazing. I highly recommend.

They are famous for their warm yeast donuts, however my favorite has to be the blueberry. What a delight! It's flavorful and the texture just melts in your mouth.

Kristy is the baker and proprietor of this independently owned local shop. She is welcoming and friendly. She offers a selection of cupcake flavors that she ices fresh after you order. I selected a Chocolate Caramel Cupcake. Kristy quickly went back to decorate my cake. The cake was beautiful, super fresh and the icing was light and creamy. The shop is filled with adorable treats for Halloween. Kristy takes orders for events and offers a package deal for decorate-your-own-cupcakes that would be cute for a birthday party. There is plenty of parking in the strip mall lot. Shop local!

I found A Smudge Sweeter on Instagram, and after admiring all of their beautiful, custom desserts, I sent a message. The owner responded quickly and was able to make 50 cake pops for our party with only a week's notice. Not only did she make cake pops, but they were intricate, incredibly-themed cake pops that brought a lot of fun to our event. The party was right before Thanksgiving, so the cake pops had fun toppers that looked like turkeys, footballs, autumn leaves, etc. They were also delicious, which is sometimes hard to do when they're that beautiful too. You can now order dessert tasting platters from this business, which is definitely the next thing I want to try! Perfect to try out all of their offerings before making a decision on an upcoming gift.... or a fun thing to bring over to a friend's house for a fun night!
