Honey Bee Pastries,LLC

Honey Bee Pastries was the perfect choice for our wedding! We decided on a two-tier wedding cake, with two sheet cakes. When we did our cake tasting, we couldn't decide on a flavor, so they let us choose 3 different ones, one for each cake! They all tasted delicious, and we got tons of compliments from our guests. Honey Bee is small, local business, making them even more enjoyable to work with. They were incredibly responsive, and super helpful anytime we had a question. Cost was very reasonable, considering how amazing it all turned out. If you're looking for delicious cake, look no further! More...

Jenya went ABOVE and BEYOND, EXCEEDING my expectations for both my bachelorette and wedding. For the bachelorette she created the most gorgeous Sex and the City themed cake; it was the most beautiful cake yet so delicious as well. My girlfriends and I savored every bite. Jenya also put together such beautiful and tasty NYC themed sugar cookies; she packed both cookies and cake so efficiently as I was taking them to NYC for the girly weekend. A true testament of the exceptional customer service I experienced. Our wedding cake was also a major hit; Jenya knocked it out the ballpark. We are so very grateful to have worked w/ Honey Bee Pastries, I cant wait for another beautiful occasion just so I can work w/ Jenya again. Jemya also assisted me with finding an artist on etsy for my cake topper needs; so very grateful for Jenya's patience and kindness towards us. Cant wait to work with her again! More...

We knew from the cake tasting, that whichever flavor options we chose, our cake would be delicious. I was very pleased that they placed the cake topper as well, so we didn’t have to worry about it.

Jenya and Andrew did a fantastic job on the cake for my fall wedding. They came highly recommended from a friend who used Honey Bee Pastries for her wedding several years ago.  My friend mentioned her dad was very picky eater, but by the end of the wedding was a raving fan of the cake.  Fast forward to my wedding and from the initial conversation I was impressed by Jenya's professionalism and commitment to ensuring John and I were happy.  She was candid and honest about how much cake we'd need for a 100 person wedding.  Being in sales myself, I appreciated the fact she didn't oversell us.  I provided her with a few photos at our tasting and she nailed my style. Many of my guests commented on how delicious the cake was and several asked if the cake was fake or real -- ALL real and at a very affordable price!  I HIGHLY recommend Honey Bee Pastries!! More...

Our son was recently married in Alexandria, VA. We, his parents, were delighted -and celebrated by all - not only because of their marriage, but for the incredibly beautiful and delicious creations that Honeybee bakers, Jenya and Andrew, prepared for us - and all of our guests.  Our relationship started with HONEY BEE PASTRIES about 6 months ago with my future daughter-in-law and son’s wedding shower at a winery (Barrel Oaks) in Virginia. They are both outdoor people - loving to hike and camp, and having spent lots of time/vacations at our National Parks. (Busy medical providers, this is how they best love to relax and restore!) I knew I wanted something special for them, so I found Jenya (Honey Bee) on line when I searched for the “best local bakers.” And, she and her husband, Andrew, proved they were - again and again.

Our “kids” and everyone else could not stop raving about the wonderful cookies and cakepops - the best some of those “sweets’ connoisseurs” had ever eaten, they said. As well, I asked Jenya if she could create camping tents and hiking trail signs - with the colors of the bride’s wedding party - pale blue - and the date of the wedding and the names of our kids on them! She and her treats were AMAZING! The pale blue tents with the little feet sticking out and the names of the National Parks on them as well as the trail signs with the date of their wedding and their names were SUCH a HIT! We had them not only for the Shower, but the bride and groom-to-be requested them for the Rehearsal Dinner - and then they sweetly asked if I could call Jenya and Andrew to see if they could make their cookies as wedding favors, individually wrapped with pretty blue ribbons! So, for three different but related very special family gatherings, Jenya agreed, and again, all of our family and friends from all over the country were delighted! The theme of our kids’ outdoor wedding at River Farm was a National Park/Camping one - it was elegant and gorgeous with table setting and escort boards featuring artist-rendered National Parks’ photos turned into “paintings” with guest tables/names on them - and those cookies! A perfect match and treat!

I cannot begin to tell you how much we appreciated the meticulous care and lovely artistry of Jenya and Andrew! Plus, the goodies were SO delicious! My new daughter-in-law - a true Washingtonian - loves the Cherry Blossoms, so the cake pops had cherry blossoms on them and I also asked for some blue flowers as well. So perfect! HONEY BEE is absolutely the best for whatever sweet baked goods - cakes, cookies, cake pops - that you will dream up and picture at your event! Seriously - if you can imagine it, they will create it for you! Jenya, Andrew and Honey Bee are treasures and I hope they will always love what they do - because we will definitely have many more requests for them as our lives go on here in Virginia/DC! More...

We didn’t do much shopping around for wedding cake bakers, because as soon as we found Honey Bee Pastries, we knew they were the one! Jenya is such a lovely person, and she made us feel so welcome in her home when we met her for a tasting. She offered us so many delicious options that we couldn’t decide which we liked best and ended up choosing two flavors. We also found the prices to be very reasonable.

At the wedding we were so busy that didn’t even get to see our wedding cake until it came time to cut it, but when we finally did see it, we couldn’t believe how beautiful it was! And goodness, it was delicious too! They say a lot of people don’t end up eating the cake at weddings, but I caught a glimpse of our caterer bringing our extra slices because so many people were having some.

Bottom line, if we had to do it over, we would absolutely go with Honey Bee Pastries again. We can’t recommend them enough! More...

We had our wedding cake done by Honey Bee Pastries and it was great! The process was very easy and thorough and their cakes are delicious. We went with three flavors (lemon raspberry, passion buttercream, almond) and all three tasted fantastic. The cake looked great on the wedding day and our guests enjoyed it! Jenya is very quick to respond to emails and easy to work with :) More...

Cake was a super important factor for us, as dessert is our favorite. I had tried a couple of other cakes shops (that other friends and family had used), but nothing came close to Honey Bee! The flavors that they offer are amazing. They have the flavors that are so unique (passion fruit is amazing) but then also the classics that are done just perfectly. It’s great because you can pair any combination of the multitude of frosting and cake options they provide. The buttercream is to die for - smooth, creamy and nothing over-done. The actual cake itself was what I had been really searching for. It was moist and just truly delicious.

With Honey Bee, I was finally able to find what truly tasted like a homemade yet professional cake versus so many bakeries of what tasted very commercial/store bought.

I cannot recommend Honey Bee enough! More...

My sister connected us with Jenya and we could not have been happier with her level of professionalism, her kindness, and her extraordinary talent! We told her we wanted a cake inspired by the beauty of the elven culture in Lord of the Rings (yes, really), highlighting a more whimsical, romantic, and earthy theme throughout our wedding. And she delivered flawlessly! We absolutely loved our cake, it gave us exactly what we wanted while still being subtle and not so obviously nerdy, but everyone could see that we had gotten what we wanted once we explained the elven concept to them. Our cake was the lightest, fluffiest, most flavorful cake we (or any of our guests) had ever tried. Jenya also catered cupcakes for my bridal shower and no one could get over how beautiful and delicious they were. A true talent, happy and satisfied does not begin to cover it. More...

This cake is DELICIOUS - like, close-your-eyes, moan-out-loud, go-back-for-seconds (and thirds!) delicious. Jenya was very helpful and well-informed during our tasting; she clearly puts a lot of care into ensuring that every cake is exactly what the client wants. And it was beautiful to boot! My husband and I gasped out loud when we first saw it at our reception. All of our guests absolutely raves about how delicious it was, which was both good and bad because by the end of the reception we had none left to take home and I was really hoping to savor a few more slices. Not to worry, though - I’ve already decided that we’ll be ordering a small cake for our anniversary next year. I’ll be recommending Honey Bee Pastries to everyone I know! More...

I didn't really care about the cake - I was going to have a small piece shoved into my face and that is all that I was going to eat. ... that was until I did cake tasting with Honey Bee. We did 3 cake tastings in 1 day (highly recommend doing all in one day) and Honey Bee was by FAR the best tasting, best texture and freshest cake out of all 3. They do a European style cake with is not overly sweet and provides the right balance of cake to buttercream ratio. From the day we tasted the cakes to the day of the wedding, they provided excellent communication and provided assistance with how to decorate and how much cake we needed. Their prices were affordable, I made a change a few days before the wedding and they were able to accommodate, they delivered the cake on time and did a great job with the arrangement of the flowers and cake topper. EVERYONE at the wedding loved the cake - we had 3 different flavors and some people went back for seconds and thirds to try the different kinds. More...
