    Fortnite Birthday Cake
    Jether W.

    Let me begin by saying Lori is our family baker. We trust her and love her delicious cakes, cookies, and cupcakes that much! We only go else where when I neglect to book her in time and out of respect for not springing an order on her in short notice. Lori has provided baked goods for our son's Baptism, family birthdays, promotions, and she has also provided excellent service to friends as well. I once asked Lori to bake a cake of a computer motherboard as our son's birthday cake and she replicated it perfectly. Always the hit of a party! I love all her goodies but you must try the pound, lemon, and amoretto sour flavours. The professionalism and quality of service is unmatched in Charlotte!

    I hired this company to do my cake for my baby shower. Originally it was to be a gender reveal but then we accidentally found out the gender so decided to change it to just a baby shower cake. I was back and forth with the owner multiple times because I kept changing my mind, she was beyond helpful and patient with me and my many changes. The cake was everything we wanted and more! Aesthetically pleasing gets 5 stars, but taste wise..... OMG 10 STARS!!! It was so moist and satisfying!!! I couldn't have been happier!!! Will definitely not only recommend but I'll be back as a return customer for his first bday cake and any event in between then

    My first experience with Sweet It Is! was great! Our custom birthday cake wasn't only designed to perfection but also delicious! Top layer was pound, and bottom was vanilla with buttercream icing. Thank you for bringing our vision to life. Would use their services again. My kid was thrilled to finally see the transformers cake he has requested for months!

    Awesome job

    Kudo's to Sweet it is for an amazing Panther's jersey cake for my son's birthday party! The cake was exactly what I asked for and was a beautiful creation to look at. Everyone at the party enjoyed it and my son was so excited. The fondant was not bitter but instead had a nice flavor to it. Looking forward to trying other goodies from you in the future.

    Thank you so much for the Panther Cake and Patriots cupcakes. They were AMAZING!!! All the guest asked where I got them from and I told them SWEET IT IS!!! Ordered on a Wednesday and received by Saturday! Can't thank you enough. My order was perfect and everyone was happy. Had to hide some cupcakes from the kids!!! Will be back for some more!!! LOVE IT!!!

    Our wedding cake looked and tasted amazing! Lori was very understanding to my indecisiveness when trying to decide what I wanted. I will be reordering soon.

    BLOWN AWAY!!!

    I really dont think there are enough hours in the day for me to tell you about my experience with this baker. Lori is absolutely THE BEST!!!!!! I only gave her an "Idea" of how I wanted my son's graduation cake and she TOOK IT TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL!!! The detail in his cake was UNBELIEVABLE!!! He is a sneakerhead and the Jordan shoe on his cake was so lifelike he didnt even want to cute into it! now all of this was on the design and look of the cake, we have not even begun to discuss how INCREDIBLY MOIST THIS CAKE WAS!!!! I changed it from Marble to red velvet a week before and she was gracious enough to allow me to make the change so close to the time I needed the cake. Again I could go on and on about this bakery but you MUST try it for yourself!!! You will NOT be disappointed!!!!! THANK YOU LORI!!!!!!!!!

    This cake was amazing! First off it is HEAVY. The flavors, moist essay, and texture were perfect. This fed 15 people with slices left over.

    Lori did a fabulous job on the custom cake for my husbands surprise birthday party. He is a former DJ and still loves to play on his turntables. So I sent Lori pics of my husband's turntable and his favorite song. Lori and her team nailed it. So happy with the results and the chocolate cake tasted unbelievably delicious.

    Lori was so quick to respond to my last minute custom cake request! She gave me a very reasonable quote much lower than the competition and it came out exactly how I imagined!!!

    SO DELICIOUS

    I ordered a birthday cake for my son from Lori and sent her a design of a character my son likes. She went above and beyond to make such a perfect cake! The design was incredible and better than the idea I sent her! Lori is as sweet as her cakes and I am SO glad I ordered from her! Easy transaction and fast communication! Everyone loved the birthday cake and thought it was perfect!!! Thank you Lori, I'm looking forward to eating my leftover piece of cake (I mean my son is looking forward to it...)

    Mrs. Lori was awesome to work with and was highly recommended. Mr.s Lori was so easy to work with, from our initial cake tasting to random questions about our cake throughout the wedding planning process...this was one area of the wedding that I didn't have to worry or stress about. Unfortunately, my husband and I only had a small bite of the cake when we fed each other, but our guests are still raving about the red velvet cake! We have our top tier in our freezer, awaiting our first anniversary - we can't wait to eat it. Thank you again!!!!

    Had a lovely solo night out at La Belle Helene! Had reservations in advance and was waited on…read morequickly and very attentively. I ordered the arugula salad which was incredibly delicious. Flavorful, with both very savory and yet light ingredients which made it perfect for an entree. Not too dense but also filling enough for the wait until dinner. Then the salmon a la plancha. The salmon was cooked to perfection and not overdone, which is unfortunately often the case. The perfect portion along with the tomatoes and kale to keep it rich, but still somehow light. Ended the night with their signature (and recommended) le citron lemon dessert which was to die for. The waitress also brought me some madelines with an adorable little personalized message to complement my little mom's solo night out. 10 out of 10 and certainly can't wait to come again!

    Steak Frites (5/5): The steak was well seasoned and well cooked. Lots of flavor but maybe just a…read morebit tough (that might've been because it was ordered medium though). The fries were battered and very crispy. These are the best kind! Complimentary Puff Pastry (4/5): These had the flavor of the bread at Brazilian steakhouses but with a different texture. The pastry was crumbly and there was a chilled gruyere mousse inside. Nice way to start the meal. French Onion Soup (3/5): Thick soup with lots of flavor. A little too sweet and tangy for me. I liked how much cheese there was on top. Duck A L'Orange (3/5): The duck wasn't that great. The skin wasn't crispy and it was a little too gamey. There was also very little meat in general. The orange sauce was runnier than I expected and very subtle. Good amount of potatoes and green beans which were solid. La Ricane (4/5): Reminded me of a Snickers ice cream bar but instead of ice cream it was a fluffy nougat. Good, but hard to justify the price when the ice cream version from the store is better and much cheaper haha Complimentary Madeleine (3/5): Nice that they gave these out at the end of the meal! Soft and bready with a light lemon flavor. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

    Popped in yesterday to pick up a Too Good To Go and enjoyed a dozen of their classic cookies -…read morechocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, etc. It's a small shop on the first floor of a business center in downtown Charlotte. Since we were only running in and out, we just parked a block ahead on the street. The storefront is bright, open and clean, but there's no seating, so you have to take it to go which isn't a big deal since we were on our way to a book club anyway. Service was pleasant and quick, and you can't beat the value (12 cookies for $8 instead of $24). We will have a few to enjoy over the weekend now. I would definitely return. @azfitfoodfun

The smell when you walk in is amazing! We were greeted and immediately assisted with picking out our dozen.

They were good... but none of the flavors really wowed us. Before checking out the employee made sure I signed up to get my reward points. If you try them sign up for the rewards you'll get deals on dozens. 4/6

The cobblers came out piping hot and paired with the vanilla ice cream on the side, they were incredibly delicious and definitely something I'll be daydreaming about later. They were also playing great music over the speakers, which added to the atmosphere, and the service was fantastic. The employees offered great recommendations and were always attentive, anticipating what we needed. We would've included a photo of the food, but it disappeared faster than we expected .

    We came in with a group and ordered several samplers to share so we could try a variety of flavors…read more We already knew the banana pudding didn't include fresh bananas, which was totally fine with us going in. Overall, the experience was very mixed. We tried the OG, cheesecake, Butterfinger, bourbon praline, blackberry, blackberry peach cobbler, sweet potato and pralines, and peach cobbler flavors. The cobblers being served warm was definitely nice, and I'd say the cobblers were probably the best part of what we tried. They were decent, although they tasted more like canned fruit fillings than homemade cobbler. The banana puddings and ice cream were average at best -- not terrible, but nowhere near the best we've had. The main reason I'm writing this review is because of the bourbon praline flavor. All four people in our group had the same reaction that something tasted very off. Comments included: * "It tastes like refrigerator." * "Is there soy sauce in this?" * "Yuck, this tastes like teriyaki." * "It tastes like the nuts are rotten" It genuinely tasted spoiled or contaminated with another flavor that may have been stored next to it in the fridge. When we politely asked if we could return or exchange it because it tasted so bad, the employee working basically shrugged and told us they didn't like that flavor either. Looking back, when we first arrived and asked for recommendations, they didn't offer much guidance. Bathroom was clean - water was only served in bottles, that cost $3. The chairs outside were very uncomfortable. Overall: warm cobblers were nice, some flavors were okay, but nothing stood out as exceptional -- and the bourbon praline was honestly one of the worst dessert flavors any of us have tried, we threw it away.
