The Bee’s Knees Sweet Treats

mini desserts! these ladies are wonderful. needed desserts for a luncheon and she said they had a big order but she was going to help me anyway! and got me a great assortment of delish little treats!
customer service to the max ! all the tiny desserts were beautifully decorated and a hit with everyone

So close, and yet so far.
Bees Knees was out at Redlight last night. My wife had to stop herself from hovering over them as they set up their table. The cupcakes looked so cute and delicious. She just had to have some.
The mini-​cupcakes are four for $ 5, or $ 1.25 each. I wasn’t really listening as they rattled off the flavors, but my wife was enthralled. Since they had five flavors available last night, we decided to just get one of each — five for $ 6.25.
So, we’re at Relight and we’re drinking and chatting with friends. This means that I wasn’t really giving my full attention to the tiny little cupcakes. My wife was taking a bite out of each one and then passing me the rest. It’s dim in there and since I wasn’t really paying attention, I didn’t really notice a huge difference between any of them.
They all tasted nice, but none stood out as better or worse than another.
Part of the problem though was that a full mini-​cupcake is barely half a bite to begin with. Splitting that in half meant that I barely got a taste of anything to begin with. It was like eating the crumbs out of the bottom of the cookie jar. You get a tiny bit of the taste, but hardly enough to say you actually ate anything. Even if I had had a full one, I don’t know that it would have been much of an improvement.
My wife says she loved the chocolate truffle one the best. I vaguely remember one sort of tasting something like that — and it was pretty good.
The girls at Bees Knees are nice. They make what seem to be some pretty good cupcakes. They’re just way too damned small — especially at $ 1.25 each.
Don’t buy these as a snack or dessert — these are way too small. They should be viewed more as after-​dinner-​mints. In fact, I think I’ve seen mints that are bigger than these things.

Bees Knees provided the mini cupcakes for my sons wedding reception last week-​end, as well as a small cake for the bride and groom to cut. These sweet treats were the hit of the party. I anticipated having a few left over, however, my guests enjoyed them so much, I am going to have to visit one of their sites and buy some for us. We had several choices and one was better and more beautifully decorated than the next. This was a wonderful choice for us. It is obvious that a lot of thought and attention goes into this wonderful delicacy. We can highly recommend this business.

I do like dessert. In fact, sometimes I like to eat it before dinner. That being said, I don’t eat it all that often. I guess my sweet tooth has faded a bit over time.
Tonight however, I had a sudden hankering for something on the sweet side. I stopped by the Audubon Market at Stardust Coffee to grab a sandwich from Big Wheel. As I was making my way out, the sweetness by the way of mini cupcakes caught my eye.
Bee’s Knees knows their sweets! I tried 3 of the 4 options, and each was quite tasty! I will be sure to sample some of the other concoctions in the future!

Do I have a treat for you! Let me give you a hypothetical first. You know when you meet a really stunning person at first and you think they sure seem to be quite the package inside and out. Then come to find out there is not much «under the hood». We’ve all been there. How disappointing. Well these desserts are NOTHING like that!
I was at a new Farmer’s market this past week (New Year’s resolution) and I was finally able to experience The Bees Knees Sweet Treats. These two young sassy bakers (Erica and Emily) started their business about a year ago and can be found regularly at a couple of local Farmer’s Markets (College Park on Thursday evening and Audubon Park on Monday evening). Besides their clever name, they have the most adorable and delicious mini cupcakes. I tried five different flavors that night including the Strawberry Cream called Pinklight Pretty, Orange Cream called Orange you my Honey, Chocolate spice (with the redhot), Liche, and a mini Raspberry cheesecake. They were awesome! Being at the Farmer’s market also provides a great opportunity to chat with the bakers themselves. Erica was super sweet and genuine. We found that we share one surprising thing (other than her business partner and I having the same name), we favor cream cheese frosting over butter cream frosting any day of the week! Another great thing about the Bees Knees is that their flavors rotate depending on what they are in the mood to bake. I look forward to our next encounter. Their site describes all kinds of other flavors and variations, all of which make my mouth water.
Seriously, I can’t say a bad thing about these girls. Definitely a case of «more than a pretty face».
The Bees Knees Sweet Treats (@BeesKneesSweets on Twitter) are definitely stars in the making! And I am already plotting a way to have a special order made.

I got to enjoy the mini cupcakes from Bee’s Knees for the second time today at the Grandma Party Bazaar and I am a huge fan! I think I’ve tried 5 or 6 flavours now, and couldn’t pick my favorite if my life depended on it because they’re all so good! Today I bought 4 for $ 5 and shared with my friends. I tasted the pumpkin cheesecake and a citrus honey cupcake with cream cheese frosting… both heavenly! They are the perfect bite sized treats! I wish they had a storefront near me… but that would be pretty dangerous for my hips!

Bee’s Knees specialty are mini-​cupcakes. They don’t have a store front but you can find these delicious little bites at area farmer’s markets and festivals. I’d highly recommend picking up a sampling. It is fun that they are so small that you can try different varieties without the guilt. Because they are small they tend to be drier than a regular sized cupcake but I think Bee’s Knees still does a great job with them. There may be tiny morsels hidden inside like chocolate chips or cranberries. One of my favorites was the pumpkin with brown sugar and cinnamon. At 5 for $ 4 they are a little pricey (considering they are essentially one bite) but still a fun splurge.

Very cute. Very creative. Very tasty. Haven’t had a bad treat from these lovely ladies. Perfect size. I want lots. Now.

I just tried some of their amazing treats at Redlight Redlight for the Show Us Your Love and Sweetness event. Soooo yummy! They had a selection of mini treats that were 5/​$ 4. My favorite was the orange and honey cupcake. I’m usually a chocolate fanatic, but this flavor combination was perfect. I can’t wait to try more!

Erica’ sweets are the best in town. Perfectly sized as to not feel guilty afterward and perfectly priced to boot.
I love it when she appears at Redlight when I’m not expecting it, and I can never resist her treats.
I’m always glad to support local vendors and she is definitely a cut above the rest.

Excellent treats from excellent ladies.
This isn’t just one of those flash in the pan, fad dessert companies. It’s the real deal. These two relish creating new recipes for the sake of their customers’ reactions. Whether you’re pairing the truffles with some beers at Redlight Redlight or picking up goodies at one the markets, a lot of time and energy’s gone into these creative little treats.
What I particularly like is their habit of using local ingredients; the Orange You My Honey cupcake is made with local orange blossom honey, and it’s fab.
It’s a great find should you happen upon them at Redlight on one of the nights they’re selling– trust me, truffles go great with a good stout. And for just a few dollars, you score yourself some great bonus drunk food for later.

Divine creations by really sweet ladies! After reading the reviews on here, I desperately wanted… no neeeeeeded… to try these. So I paid them a visit at the College Park flea market Thursday evening and sampled the 4 offerings they had.
My husband, who is unfortunately unblessed with a lack of a sweet tooth even helped me sample these and adored them!
I would hesitate to label these as just cupcakes because they are really so much more. They are tiny little drops of dessert that are jam packed with flavor and originality. They use local fresh fruit (from Heart of Christmas farms) and you can taste the rich ingredients in each bite. We sampled one (it had purple frosting with a blackberry on top) and it had this really nice buttery flavor that both of us loved.
All four that we sampled were perfectly sweet but not overly so. I really look forward to tracking these ladies down at more events!

Yuuummmm! These lovely little cupcakes are not only yummy, but so creative and cute!
I have now had several of Erica’s creations at a few different events… I’ve been very impressed with the combinations she comes up with! Cookies and cream cheesecake cupcake?! Yes please! She makes other wonderful little cheesecake treats, which I’ve never seen before! And her other cupcakes are just delightful!
Yummy yummy yummy! I highly recommend these if you need a dessert for an event!

I second everything Colleen said. Bee’s Knees is also one of my local favs. In addition to having awesome treats: like mini cupcakes, truffles, chocolate-​covered marshmallows, and mini cheesecakes, Erica and Emily are two of the nicest ladies. Every time I see them, they are eager to say hello. They always take the time to get to know their customers and talk to each and every person that approaches them at a market or at Redlight Redlight.
I highly recommend you find out where they are right now and go get some treats.
PS: The new orange mini cupcake (made with local honey) and the cookies & cream mini cheesecake are to die for. Just sayin’.

Yum, Yum, Yum! By now you all know I have a weakness… Cupcakes!
My favorite cupcakes are truly the ones that you can taste the love and care baked right into them and The Bee’s Knees Sweet Treats are exactly that: Sweet Treats full of Love and Flavor!
They have a ton of fresh fruit topped cupcakes, chocolate filled amazingness and cheesecake delights! I recently discovered they have truffles too and they melt in your mouth. At the Bastille Day event I saw chocolate covered marshmallows too! YUM! So many choices =)
You can find the Bee’s Knees Sweet Treats sold out of Redlight Redlight as well as various festivals and events throughout Orlando!
Some regular spots are the Audubon Park Community Market and College Park Farmers Market! Make sure to stop by and taste the lovely treats. Erica and Emily are the lovely ladies behind these amazing cupcake made from scratch! They are darling and so sweet that you may get a toothache (in a GREAT way) by indulging in meeting them and tasting their treats!
