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!

I also appreciate that there are vegan, gluten-free, and canine options for furry friends. When I walked in, the young lady working seemed uncomfortable, like she didn't know how or want to speak to any customers inside, so that made for a weird experience right away. We quickly made our selections, my husband getting the banana snickerdoodle and I got the chocolate cream filled. I ate mine as soon as we got home. I cut it in half and was surprised to see the "filling" was smaller than a penny - what a joke. Luckily the cupcake itself was moist and fresh, with the double icing on top also delicious. My husband liked his but it was not nearly as moist. For $4.50, I'd go back for the chocolate filled cupcake, but I'd probably go to a different location where I felt more like a valued customer (who hopefully gets an actually filled cupcake).

I searched online from my location with a dream of finding a bakery to make my daughter a custom cake and deliver it to her on her birthday. A week ago I spoke with this awesome establishment over the phone with all of my questions, ideas and requests and the pleasant lady on the phone assured me that all of my requests were possible and suggested I get started on their online ordering system and while on the phone she had already sent me a link to get started. The online process was easy and detailed they kept in contact with me via email throughout that very day as I communicated my flavors and photos I had taken from my phone...yes they put all the photos I took on the cake and they are edible too! She even contacted me asking for more photos this was going to be very special for sure which they also delivered the beautiful cake to my daughter for me...it made my day my heart my dream and my daughters birthday come alive even though I couldn't be there myself! Sweet Escapes Cake Company made the entire process seem-less with there attention to detail and organization of the whole event in fact I feel like I made friends with the business they most certainly have a customer for life! I highly recommend this business for any of your events they will make it happen the way you dreamed! Extremely well priced and more than well done I can't wait to visit them when I come visit my daughter this year!

I came for one free donut... and left with a box full of bad decisions…read more I'm originally from Connecticut and was driving through Indianapolis on my way back to Louisville when someone told me, "Don't leave Indianapolis without stopping at Long's Bakery." Whoever you are... thank you. You changed my life. The sweet woman behind the counter heard where I was from and handed me a complimentary glazed yeast donut. Let me tell you... WHEW! It wasn't even fresh out of the oven, and it still melted in my mouth. Light, soft, perfectly glazed... I knew right then I was in trouble. I ended up buying a box with blueberry cake, applesauce cake, cinnamon sugar, Bavarian cream, glazed yeast, and a few others. Everything was incredibly fresh, and at those prices, I had to double-check the menu because I thought I was reading it wrong! When I got back to my parents' house in Louisville, we warmed a few up for just a few seconds. Game over. They somehow tasted even better. My plan was to take some to church tomorrow to share... but judging by how fast they're disappearing, I may be testifying about them instead. Before I left, the woman smiled and said, "Make sure you come back when you're in town." Oh, I'll be back. I may even create reasons to drive through Indianapolis now. Long's Bakery doesn't need fancy displays or trendy flavors. They simply make outstanding donuts with friendly service and prices that make you wonder if they accidentally forgot inflation. 10/10. Worth every mile of the detour.

You could even purchase some of that glimmer to make your life sparkle at home, granted for almost $40. I decided to stop in because I've pretty much tried every coffee shop in Hamilton County, and when I saw you could grab coffee to-go here, I knew I had to check it out since I've never been! I'm SO glad I did because this was easily one of the prettiest coffees I've had in the area, and the vibes were absolutely immaculate. The space was a little cramped, and it was somewhat tricky to tell who was waiting in line for goodies versus coffee, which made it feel a bit overstimulating. But the drink itself was sweet, delicious, and definitely worth the stop! I can't say it would be one of my frequent stops as I waited a decent amount of time for just a coffee, in a cramped area but was cool to see as I can't find myself making a reservation anytime soon after seeing the prices (sheesh to say the least!) It did seem like such a special spot in Carmel, IN, stepping into an entirely different world so I understand the hype, maybe one day I'll try the cake & food.

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!
