Once your order is accepted, you'll be emailed an invoice. She was super flexible to doing a custom order that wasn't shown on the site. I got an assorted half dozen specialty cupcakes with flavors of Bottomless Sangria, Sunday Morning, Uptown Bae, Home Sweet Home, Party Pebble, and Strawberry Crunch Milkshake. I loved the Bottomless Sangria cupcake. The cheesecake and fresh fruit were great. The Sunday Morning was pretty good too, but it was supposed to come with a mini pancake and mine didn't. The rest of the flavors weren't my favorite. The cake was pretty dry and the fruit flavors tasted like artificial flavoring which I'm not a big fan of. I think this place has a lot of potential with it's inventive flavors if it starts using real fruits to flavor and can get the cake to be a little more moist.

The first bite was literally like Biting into the best dessert I've ever had. Now normally I'm a chocolate fan, but these cheesecake tacos are to die for!!!

I drove from the southeast side of Charlotte to Ballantyne and it was absolutely worth it!!! I plan to use her for my bridal shower and 30th birthday coming up!!! Ooh and did I mention she was professional, on time, and brought them out to my car in the cutest box, and to put the icing on the cake, their were 2 chocolate candies inside the box ! This was definitely the perfect gift for my fiancé and I to celebrate anniversary!

In my experience there is an inverse relationship between the beauty/detail of a baked good and the taste... well, not with Summerwood! These cookies taste amazing! They look amazing! And people were blown away by the total package. I will definitely be buying again. Hopefully some Thanksgiving and Christmas cookies. Maybe even a cake. Definitely recommend this excellent small business.

10/10 Highly Recommend! Suarez's Bakery is one of my…read moreabsolute favorite bakeries in Charlotte, and they never disappoint. I stopped by today hoping to grab some of their famous long johns, but the morning crowd had already bought them all out--which honestly tells you everything you need to know about how popular their baked goods are. Some of their favorites definitely sell out early, so getting there sooner is always a good idea. Since the long johns were gone, I picked up two Boston cream donuts and a slice of their strawberry chiffon cake. The strawberry chiffon cake was absolutely incredible. It was so light and airy that it truly felt like eating a cloud with strawberries. It was fresh, soft, and packed with flavor. The Park Road location is my go-to, although they also have a location at Optimist Hall. The customer service is always friendly, and I'm usually in and out quickly, even when they're busy. Suarez's offers an amazing selection of cakes, cookies, donuts, cupcakes, and other baked treats. Everything I've tried has been consistently delicious. I've also used them several times for birthday cakes, and they have always done a fantastic job. Their cakes not only look beautiful, but they taste just as good, making them a great option for special occasions. Another bonus is that they're open on Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., which is perfect when you're craving something sweet over the weekend. If you're looking for a bakery in Charlotte that delivers quality, consistency, and delicious desserts, Suarez's Bakery is definitely worth the visit. Just remember: if you're after one of their popular items, get there early because the favorites tend to sell out. 10 out of 10, highly recommend for all your bakery needs--from everyday treats to special occasion cakes.

This location of Suárez Bakery sits in the Park Road Shopping Center, just outside of Optimist Hall…read morewhere their other spot is located. The bakery focuses on small-batch, homemade pastries and artisan baked goods, and there are definitely some standouts. The dulce de leche pastries are fantastic, and anything with guava is usually a great choice. Compared to the Optimist Hall location, the aesthetics here feel a little more understated. The display case was a bit sparse during my visit, though they did have some seasonal cookies available. One thing I wish they had is outdoor seating--it would be nice to grab a pastry and enjoy it outside. Parking here is very easy since it's in a large shopping center, which makes it a convenient stop. I also wish they stayed open later, because it would be a great place to grab dessert after dinner given how many restaurants are nearby. Insider tip: If you're visiting, keep an eye out for the dulce de leche or guava pastries--they're some of the best items in the case. Overall, a solid bakery stop for artisan pastries and baked treats, especially if you're already in the Park Road area.

Plus, on the weekend she will bring cupcakes to breweries and infuse them with alcohol!! Game changer! The cakes I've ordered have been medium size and server 10-12 people ($45). Drip cake does custom designs and cake flavors too. Both orders of mine have been custom. The first cake was for our anniversary. My husband ordered it and got almond cake with raspberry jam and chocolate ganache on the inside with a champagne butter icing and while chocolate Drip. It was delicious and the cake was designed beautifully. The second cake I ordered was for my husband's birthday. I let Tanner know the flavors my husband likes and told her I was planning a holiday themed birthday. I gave full control to her. She ended up designing the most perfect cake ever. Chocolate with with chocolate ganache and peanut butter chocolate pieces on the inside with a peanut butter cream frosting with white chocolate Drip. It was simply a peanut butter lovers dream! The cake was super moist and everyone loved the design. If you're looking for a unique cake designer here in Charlotte, Drip Cake bar has you covered!

The interior is beautifully decorated and feels warm and inviting. I also loved the thoughtful touches like seating, books, and a little toy kitchen set for kids, which makes it feel especially family-friendly.

Overall, this is such a cozy, welcoming bakery with amazing treats and a lot of character. I'll definitely be coming back to try more!

I was in Charlotte for a business meeting and decided to stop by The Batch House to sample a few…read morepastries and bring something home to my wife. From the outside, it is an adorable spot with a beautiful, inviting building. Unfortunately, the remarkably unfriendly welcome I received inside immediately crushed my enthusiasm and made me regret walking in. I very nearly turned around and left. I can't say whether the staff was simply having a bad day, whether I didn't look like their usual clientele, or whether something else was going on. Whatever the reason, the interaction tainted my visit from the start. I purchased a Funfetti cupcake, a chocolate chip cookie, a snickerdoodle cookie, and a Key lime pie bar. The chocolate chip cookie was merely okay. Personally, I think a standard Nestlé Toll House cookie made at home would have been better. The snickerdoodle, on the other hand, was outstanding and easily the highlight of everything I tried. The Key lime pie bar had a wonderfully creamy texture and a lovely graham cracker base, but it contained barely any Key lime flavor. There was no citrus punch or brightness--just a smooth, creamy custard on top of graham cracker. The cupcake and frosting both had excellent flavor, but the cake itself was far too crumbly. A little more moisture and structure would have made it much more enjoyable and prevented it from falling apart. Overall, the baked goods were a mixed bag but showed some real potential. Unfortunately, I probably won't return. Even good pastries have a difficult time overcoming an experience with staff who make you feel unwelcome, and I don't particularly enjoy spending money somewhere that leaves me feeling that way. To those about to nosh, best of luck--and consider wearing a little emotional body armor.

I came across Pavlova CLT on Instagram, and it's a family owned business that just started here in Charlotte. I placed my order in the morning and picked it up in the afternoon. Let me tell you this was to die for. Even better than the one I had in Miami. I ordered the classic strawberry one, and added Nutella. It was amazing! I ordered the medium size since I had family over and wanted to have a cool dessert after lunch. One of the things that I liked was that it was a very light dessert and not as heavy as a cake. They have a variety of flavors to top this dessert with since it's a merengue crisp crust with a soft cream filling and topped with fresh fruit. In between each layer you can find fruit compote that is a perfect combination with the merengue. You can place an order in advance for the day you would like or same day pick up. The lady who does them brings them out to your car, so perfect for curbside pick up! I'll definitely be ordering another one very soon!! If you are in Charlotte make sure to check them out!

Her pricing is more than a Harris Teeter cake, but it should be more. The quality and taste is on a whole different level. Her frosting is all homemade, and she can literally make a cake out of any picture you make. Want a cupcake themed cake? No problem! She made a Mickey Mouse themed cake for our friends sons birthday. But it wasn't actually a cake - it was actually cupcakes that were easy to hand out to the kids at the party! I highly recommend using her if you are in the Wesley Chapel/Weddington/Blakeney/Waxhaw area.
