“I am a local wedding videographer to One Belle Bakery and for the almost 15 years of working with Anna and her team, the cakes have never been dry, and ALWAYS have been entertaining! I love stealing a slice at every wedding I film, but the real magic is how Anna and her team customize and truly CARE about making the cake something people talk about. They always reflect the couple perfectly. It never fails, One Belle's are the best cakes in town.“

“I cannot recommend Burney's (Wilmington location specifcially) enough! The owner, Anthony, is incredibly kind and generous. I used them for my wedding desserts and got 6 flavors of croissants, cake balls, white wedding cake and a 15 layer caramel cake. Several people told me it was the best wedding cake they have ever had. My only regret is not getting more croissants because they were gone SO FAST - people are still talking about them! Not only was the quality of everything amazing (as it always is when I'm just visiting the store), but everyone was so kind and helpful. I did several tastings and this one was by far the best (in flavor and service), they have so many options, are super customizable, have a reliable staff - truly everything you could want in a local bakery or a wedding vendor!“

“The best place to get sweet treats. Love that its local.i like to get the little butter cookies for my coworkers or a nice pie or pull apart coffee cake. They have a nice selection of gluten free things too . which are great cause I use to like a guy who was gluten free and never got to eat sweets. Their treats helped me have a wonderful friendship with him .he was here for school and had to leave eventually but their products helped him fall for me. So like. If you ever meet a hot celiac.....lol“

“Was gifted a drink from a friend on 10/30/25. She brought it to me at a place I was volunteering. Unfortunately, it tasted so bitter and not good. It was an iced latte. I called to tell what happened and ask if I could come get a replacement when I was finished . The person I spoke to was extremely rude asking for a receipt (it was bought by a friend for me). I told her I didn’t have a receipt but I could bring the drink back . She then asked me the name of the person who bought it. I told she paid cash at the drive thru so she wasn’t asked her name. I had to go so I just said “forget it” . I was so aggravated so I called this morning. I spoke to Georgia. I explained what happened, and without hesitation she told me to come for a replacement. She was so friendly. I really appreciated Georgia’s desire to help me!!“
