I am a very very very picky cake/cupcake person. I have tried many many types of cakes before in my life. This is the best cupcake store I have ever had. I now have an addiction to Pearls Bake shop. I order from them almost weekly. I am obsessed. The chocolate frosting is so perfect. Their new fun flavors are always something I look forward to. You guys have made magical cupcakes. This is what it should taste like. You will be my forever cake spot! You guys win! 🥇

I ordered a custom unicorn cake from Pearl’s for my daughter’s birthday. I gave them a picture I found on the internet that I wanted the cake to look like. I gave them specific color direction for the icing and asked them to add glitter. I was also really hoping for the rainbow cake on the inside to turn out well. It turned out better than I imagined! It was a huge hit at the party. All the other moms kept asking me where I got the cake from and were impressed. On top of that, it was so delicious! I don’t usually like cake with fondant but this cake changed my mind. It was so good. I will definitely be back for any future custom cake in the future! Worth every penny.

I wanted a simple but elegant cake, and Pearl's Bake Shoppe absolutely delivered! They have such amazing flavors to choose from! We saved our top tier, so our guests were able to choose from a lemon cake with blueberry compote or the butter sugar peach cake with raspberry icing. Both were absolutely amazing! They delivered and set up the wedding cake for a small additional fee. Everything turned out amazing!

Pearl’s Bake Shoppe made the most beautiful and delicious desserts for our wedding! Our Lambeth heart cake was absolutely stunning — truly a work of art — and the cupcakes were just as gorgeous (and so tasty!). Every flavor was amazing, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about them. The team at Pearl’s was wonderful to work with, so kind and accommodating, and they perfectly brought our vision to life. We couldn’t have asked for anything better — thank you for making our wedding desserts so special! 💕🎂

I spoke to two other cake shops before deciding to use Pearl's Bake Shoppe. I worked with Emily Pilk on the design and she was great! I wanted a cake for my daughter's bridal shower and she is vegan. I know vegan cakes can be hit or miss and Pearl's knocked it out of the park with this one! It tasted incredible and no one would have known it was a vegan cake if I hadn't told them. I got so many compliments over how it tasted and how beautiful it was. I don't think I've ever seen a cake as pretty as this one! I did a lemon cake with lemon buttercream and raspberry filling. They truly knocked it out of the park! I highly recommend using Pearl's for a custom cake.

We recently had Pearls Bakery cater our wedding. They were spectacular! At the tasting, the employee explained everything to expect over the next few months.

Pearl’s did the cake and cupcake catering for our wedding earlier this month. They made the process so smooth for us! From the tasting to the planning meeting, we knew they would bring our vision to life and had it all under control. The delivery went seamlessly as well and everything tasted amazing! Highly recommend for any local brides to choose Pearls for your wedding day sweets!

I came in very last minute for a small wedding cake and cupcake order. This order was also vegan to make sure my husband that has a diary, egg, and gelatin allergy was able to enjoy. They were amazing from my first inquiry for the custom cake. Once I went in the store for the tasting I knew I found a true gem. Emily and her team made sure all the small details I wanted were in place. My mother in law picked the order up the day before my wedding and raved about them. Thank you so much. You have gained a lifelong customer ❤️ oh, my guest also asked where I got everything from because they tasted and looked amazing! They couldn’t even tell that they were vegan 😉 highly recommend the banana split recipe.

We had Pearl's cater the wedding cakes for our wedding and I can't say enough good things! Emily, the catering manager, was so nice to work with. We initially had a small mix-up with our cake tasting regarding vegan and gluten-free options, but Emily handled it beautifully and made everything right. On our wedding day, the cake was a huge hit! We ended up cutting the guests' cake slices, and everyone loved coming up to see them and savor the delicious flavors we chose. It was such a special experience, especially since we've been eating their cakes for years. Definitely recommend them for wedding cakes, especially for guests with dietary restrictions or allergies. Their vegan & gluten free selections can't be beat!
