Best Custom Cakes In Washington Near Me

Chels Owens: Looooooooove their cake and cupcakes! These people are top notch and make high quality baked goods, you will not be disappointed. I got a gorgeous unicorn cake from them that was a huge hit with my friends and I got myself a cotton candy cupcake that was the absolute best.

nitubw: This is my go to bakery for special ordering celebration cakes! Buttercream makes it easy to order online and provide ideas for specialty cakes. My older daughter loved her Wonder Woman cake! It was honestly looked almost too good to eat. Almost. She had her favorite flavor, S’mores. They made my younger daughter’s Moana dream come true with her birthday cake which also incorporated her favorite flavor: Vanilla cake with lemon curd and strawberry buttercream (despite it not being on their menu at that time). The cake was the right amount of sweet and the buttercream was fantastic. My husband had also purchased one of their peek-a-boo cakes (Elderflower soaked lemon cake with blackberry jam and vanilla buttercream) for my birthday. Let’s just say this family of four devoured it!

Kay Chevalier: I was in DC for the weekend and my Airbnb was close to the bakery; I’m too embarrassed to admit the number of times I stopped in to get another treat. Everything I tried was amazing! Like AMAZING!!! Their savory breakfast roll was super. The one I had was filled with egg, cheese, & sausage. The Queen Bee was flakey and soft and buttery and sugary, a perfect balance. Oh my, I want one just thinking about it. Ps.- their unicorn hot chocolate is adorable!

Mackenzie Jandernoa: Super cute and friendly spot! The Reese peanut butter cup cookie bar was absolutely phenomenal and worth every bite. I enjoyed the chocolate chip cookie and the half brownie/half cookie bar as well, however, the funfetti cupcake was a huge miss for me; this certainly could be due to personal preference. It just didn’t have much flavor. More specifically, the frosting was super bland. Overall, it’s still worth stopping in and checking out the variety of treats they have to offer!

Kate Morton: Buttercream was good, the gluten free snickers brownie was tasty but I did hope there would be more gluten free options. My date said the triple chocolate cupcake was good though the icing could’ve been more flavorful.

ƐK dela Cruz: I had a slice of Peanut butter chocolate cake. It had a great balance of both, the cake was moist and very enjoyable alongside the free coffee or tea that they have readily available. Pricing could be better but also understandable. We’re definitely coming back whenever we’re in the area to try out more from this store!

George and Georgia Kalantzis: Hands down the best cakes in the DMV! Lala is your biggest hype Queen for your events and makes sure you r cakes are nothing, but fabulous and delicious! Attached is a spread she made for our engagement! We are so excited for her to do our wedding cake too and other future events!

Georgia Athanasakis: Anytime I need a cake for any special occasion, Lala is my go-to! Not only are the cakes BEAUTIFUL, they are the best tasting cakes I’ve ever had! She offers so many delicious flavors, it’s hard to pick! I just order a new one each time. Best cakes and cupcakes in the DMV area!

Nicole Vallee: Absolutely love! She made my birthday cake last year and it was so beautiful, exactly what I wanted! Lala was able to create a gorgeous pink cake that matched everything I asked for. She was responsive and professional in all interactions and I plan to order with her again for my birthday this year! ❤️ I also have ordered an assorted treat box from her this past Valentine’s Day it was very unique and a creative assortment of different treats. Definitely recommend ordering with her.

Shahla Abbasi: You know how they say no one eats the cake at weddings? WHEN LALA makes the cake at your wedding everyone will eat the cake! We were so happy with the cake at our wedding. Lala did an amazing job designing the cake and delivering. She used amazing fresh flowers to decorate the cake. We picked out the cinnamon cookie butter flavor and we could not have been more pleased with the cake. To this day everyone tells me how amazing the cake tasted at my wedding. THANK YOU LALA

Surraya Abbasi: There are no words to describe Lala’s talent- she is my family and I’s go to person for Cakes. I drive over an hour away for her cakes for family events. The detail, talent, taste, and HER overall- nothing compares. I can’t wait to keep getting CAKED BY LALA 💗💗💗 the best there is! Her professionalism, class, and customer service are also unmatched. I could just go on. GET YOUR CAKE FROM LALA! 💗💗

Shekeba Morrad: Most beautiful cakes I’ve seen! We order from Lala for bdays, bridal showers, and everything in between because they are works of art!

James & Maria Hilaris: Lala is our family baker now! We go to her for EVERY CAKE❤️ A cake by Lala is not just a cake, it’s an experience. It’s a lifestyle 💁🏽‍♀️

Kelley Villamor: Found Lala on Instagram and knew instantly I needed to have my daughter’s birthday cake made by her. I ordered a vanilla cake with Oreo filling, as well as a few dozen cakesicles in red velvet, funfetti and cookie butter. All were delicious, but my favorite was definitely the cookie butter! I sent her an inspiration photo for the cake, but ultimately gave her creative freedom to do whatever she wanted. The cake came out so fun! The theme was Trolls and I love that the cake colors matched the party decor perfectly. Will be ordering from Lala whenever I am in need of a show stopping cake!

Brandi H: We’ve ordered several cakes from them at this point. One time we actually were given the wrong cake but it worked out fine in the end. Since then we have always paid the extra $25 to have the cake delivered instead of picking it up. The cakes always taste amazing and always look good. I can trust that the pic I send of the cake I want is what I will get. The only thing I will say is that my last cake was delivered in a box that smelled like smoke, so I had to immediately take it out of the box and throw the box away. It did not affect the cake’s taste thankfully.

Mariama Y.K. Smart: I ordered a CocoMelon cake 3 days before a godsons birthday party and they did not disappoint. The cake not only looked good, it tasted awesome!!! I will definitely be using their services again!!!

Tiffany Balmer: they should change their name to cupcakes and customer service. The drop off of the cup cakes was top tier. I learned how to properly unbox cupcakes!!! thanks for taking the time to bake and teach. They were so cute and yummy. Thanks!!!

whitney hurley: Made a beautiful cake that tasted amazing! The cake was bigger than I was expecting, but that’s not a bad problem to have. The design was exactly as requested.

Melanin Monroe: Great store.. well decorated and clean. But no labeled prices (I hate that!) Customer service.. meh. I was new to the store and confused by how everything worked. The girl behind the counter seemed more interested in the conversation with her friend. But… the cakes? Overpriced but ridiculously delicious. The cake part is moist and the frosting is light and airy. It’s a black owned business I’d support and tell others to as well.

Tammy Davis: Jesus take the wheel! I had to look through my reviews to make sure I hadn’t written one before. What took me so long! THE ONLY CUPCAKE place you should patron in DC. Period! This photo is me after two big bites (I don’t want my Hubby to ask for any), stopping my eating so I can jump on here real quick! Lord… my waist line wants to forget this place but I can’t. It’s not my first time having one of their cupcakes. The last time was a few months ago and bay-bee.. it’s like fine wine- Definitely has gotten better over time. Not saying the first or second time wasn’t good, but this time stopped me in my tracks. Thank you Sis for following your dreams and blessing us with your delicious ministry! Go and see why this is her calling!

Chrissy Farmer: Very good! There is a gluten free option which is incredibly delicious. I’m a huge fan of allergen friendly menus. My family was pleased. The cakes are moist and the icing is perfect. It’s fun for kids because mine got to build their own cupcake. Expect to pay $6 a cup cake, but worth it.

T Loren: My family stopped here before we headed home to Raleigh and boy am I glad we did!! The cupcakes were AMAZING! We had the vanilla, strawberry, and red velvet and could not get enough! The flavors were light and delicious which keeps you wanting more, the fillings and drippings just puts it over the top!! My kids really enjoyed picking their own toppings! What a treat! Mommas, bring your kiddos, they will love it!

K. D. Cooper: I ordered a torso cake that came out way better than the referenced photo. It was the perfect touch to my Happily Divorced Party! From the first time I spoke with James, to the delivery of the cake, everything was seamless. I would definitely order from here again and I’ve already began referring this place to my friends and family. Thanks James! For everything...

Michelle Lindsay: I searched online for days to find just the right bakery to make an adult Thor Themed cake for my husbands 36th birthday. (Chiseled chest, cape, and Thor Hammer) Although James was super busy, he took care of me and made sure I was able to get my order in. He was helpful in talking through the design and collaborative to make it exactly what I wanted. I honestly was primarily going for looks but when we ate it, I was beyond thrilled! The quality of the taste and texture of the cake matched the artistic accomplishment as well. I’ve read that some people feel the cakes are expensive but after calling around...they offer the most customization with the most creativity and best taste. All of the above made it a great value. This cake made for an unforgettable birthday for my husband and all attending. I would order from them again in a heartbeat.

Carelle Merline: I order cake from this company last year for my sister birthday and I. The customer service was wonderful. James was so patience with me. And the best part of it all, the cake was delicious which is the reason why I am ordering from them again for my husband birthday. Will be order again for my sister birthday and mine. Try them and you won’t regret.

Carmen Hancock: Amazing cakes and great customer service. This is the only place I will buy my cakes from! They always exceed my expectations!

Satish Kumar Naggarapu: When i called having no idea what to order for one of my friends bachelor party, James gave me a good deal to work with. Transaction was pretty straight forward. The time line to delivery the cake was awesome. Taste was delicious. I will definitely contact James if i need a cake nextime.

Nicholas A: Washington DC Maryland Erotic Caked not only made my GF birthday cake look stunning it tasted delicious! James gave me everything I asked for and more, it looked stunning and it tasted GREAT! He also provided suggestions that I would have never thought of on top of cake and it was the best GF cake we’ve ever had! Everyone loved it. Hands down 5 stars!!!!!

Bree'Anna Harris: Had a great experience! Cake was on time! & Was the highlight of the Birthday Girl’s 21st Birthday! She has been ranting and raving about her cake since her birthday (8/20.) James got the details exactly how I wanted it! At the time of my cake order, the bakery was SUPERRR Busy! James was handling literally about 5 different phone orders at the same time. He was patient, kind and effective and I appreciate his attention to detail with everything going on. He continued to call me and follow up with me to make sure my order would be put in and delivered at the time I scheduled. Again, I had an AMAZING experience with this bakery and will always recommend!

Mote1234: Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueCake was a big hit! Looked better than pictures and tasted just as good. Communication was excellent and James delivered everything that was promised on time and on point. Great experience! Will definitely try again.

Vania Segura: This cake was amazing, not only the decoration was perfect that it exceeded my expectations but the taste of the cake was just incredibly delicious. Will definitely order from here again. Thank you all so much for making the cake even better than what I expected.

Tammi Shapiro: You made my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah cake into more than we could ever have imagined. The taste and quality of everything was amazing. My daughter gave you a crazy drawing and you took it straight to the moon and lit it up!! Thank you a 1000 times!!

MARIA CORTEZ: Got my daughters first birthday cake here. It was amazing. I love their classic Vanilla on vanilla and chocolate with vanilla so light and fluffy. Highly recommend their cupcakes.

Karen Chung: Catherine is wonderful!! She was responsive, helpful and made the process easy for us. The cake she made for us was amazing and our guests have been raving about it. It was everything I hoped it would be. I will def be going back to Catherine for any cake needs going forward!!

Wren Chanell: Strawberry shortcake and strawberry champagne cupcakes were very delicious!!!! They were for my daughters 21st birthday and she/we loved them. Definitely would recommend and I’ll be getting all my sugary sweets from here from now on. 10stars

Jessica Williams: Love, love love! I’m severely allergic to milk. So this is really my only option if I want dairy free cupcakes from a bakery. The carrot cake cupcakes, coconut, and red velvet cupcakes are AMAZING!!!!! I know red velvet are around all year. I wish the other two were as well. I’ve been in heaven since picking up my order.

Queen Afua: It was a treat in itself omg I had the matcha tea and an apple cupcake it was Heavenly and everything is vegan which is a plus for me

Carla Godoy: I have lived in Columbia heights now for over 10 years and have always seen sticky fingers bakery but have never actually been there. But now since I am a vegan, let me tell you this is the perfect place. The cupcakes are to die for, and so is the rueban with sweet potato fries. My favorite is the sticky buns on my way to college.

KingZo87: I love this place they have great cakes

Aminah Imani: You won’t be disappointed. Order them to go and enjoy them down by the water front. Great location, friendly staff and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Thank you!

Avonlea: One of my favorite spots when in DC. The cupcakes are so moist and your definitely getting your moneys worth! Before the pandemic the line would go down the street, but since they close earlier you can walk right in. They also have other treats other than cupcakes. Their Rice Krispies are very good! If in DC I highly suggest you stop by!

Yuri: When we arrived in the afternoon, most flavors of cupcakes were already sold out… I really wanted to try dirty chai cupcake, but I got one of chocolate flavor.(I forgot the name, but kind of nutty chocolate) It was sweet, but not too much, moderately moist, was good! I should go again!

Marina Ekman: I went into Baked and Wired on a Saturday near mid day, and was greeted politely by staff, so that was nice. I took a look at their menu on the board, and was surprised to see that there weren’t any prices posted. I then took a look at their foldout menus, and no prices on there either. I was finally able to track down the price of their cupcakes online (they were over $6 per) yet i was unable to find prices for their drinks (but that could be my error) I decided to order the coconut cupcake and a green tea, and my food was delivered to me swiftly! The cupcake itself was very delicious and rich, yet a little lacking on the coconut flavor, and the tea was hot and scrumptious! I definitely would visit again! Edit: I was finally able to obtain a biscuit from them (thanks to the lovely staff for their help!) and it was very tasty! The biscuit is a drop type soda biscuit with the ingredients mixed into it, rather than a layered biscuit.

Da-Wang Wu: A lovely little bakery with many different flavors of cupcakes. They also sell coffee and tea on the other side of the counter. The staff mentioned that carrot cake and strawberry are two popular flavors in their cupcakes. Carrot cake is pretty delicious, but strawberry is just okay for me. Although I don’t like frosting in general, my friend said that their frosting felt freshly made and he actually enjoyed it. Overall, the drinks and cake are a bit too sweet for me, but I guess it might be just fine for others.

Munera A: In love with this place’ vibes 💯, we picked the vanilla cupcake filled with dolce de lice and the chocolate topping.. it was good but not the best! But the coffee was actually good!

Robert Freeman: Spectacular dark chocolate mousse. Probably the best that I have ever had. It was moist, decadent, rich, anything that you want in a chocolate mousse. And the decorations were so professional and sharp, it was a shame to ruin them to eat the cake itself! Definitely would recommend that you try any of their delicious pastries here.

Tommy Andrews: Anton and the team at Watergate Pastry are phenomenal! They created a custom Grateful Dead Tres Leches birthday cake that looked amazing and tasted even better. Thanks for making a surprise 30th birthday a great success!

Alison Wright: Ordered some custom cookies, adding our company logo to shortbread-type cookies, and they turned out great (and were tasty too!). While picking them up we decided to try their chocolate cake, and it was amazing. Wow. So thanks again to Watergate Pastry, they did a great job for me yet again!!

stephanie: ordered a custom cake from here (mocha buttercream) and it tasted great. I spoke to more than 10 cake stores across DC, maryland, and virginia and watergate pastry offered the cheapest price for the design and size. they also did great with the cake design

Lilliam Rodriguez: The cake was exactly what we asked for, it was beautiful, and yummy! The owner was very responsive and definitely a pleasure to work with.

Kendra Alexander: The cakes are delicious and moist and so beautiful the succulent flavors would make any wedding, birthday or special occasion surreal I would definitely order again and again and again

Simplyy Kaee: I loved the strawberry shortcake was my fav they was soft and moist definitely not dried out and the fresh berries 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

Brian Hart-Griffin (Brien Creates): A preferred vendor for all of my events

Daljit Kaur Grewal: Sooooo good. Ordered a tres leches cake with Bavarian cream for a 24th birthday. The cake was incredibly moist, light, and delicious, and so beautifully decorated with fruits. 8” was more than enough and very affordable at $25. I wish I could’ve left a tip. (Candles purchased separately)

Vincent Honn: Seen this Sign with a phone # on it in a Movie called" How Do You Know" while Reece Witherspoon was walking in front of it.... so had to Google the # ....lol!

Nata Portillo: Great Bakery , been buying cakes here for over 10 years now and still the same great taste and same great designs and everything, the owner and his worker are always on point amazing bakery.

nebur2k2: This Bakery makes awesome cakes. I have always bought my Kids Birthday for a straight ten years. You get for what you pay well worth it. You could currently place your order by phone, you pick up and pay at the front door.

Ethan Phung: Was a great place! I ordered a cake there was really quick to order, came by to get the cake a couple hours later and it was delicious, everyone ate a slice. Had to come back for more!

chelsea gadiano: It was busy but the line goes fast because of the convenient iPad ordering system. The staff were very friendly and order comes really quick! The cupcakes are soooo good! We got red velvet and lemon blueberry! My husband and I loved it! Their cream cheese frosting is the best! Cupcakes are so moist and delicious! Packaging is super cute!

K S: 10/10 experience!!! I loved the contactless payment, good covid protocols and the amazing moist cupcakes. I’ve only had sprinkles a few times at birthday parties and I decided to go there on my own; one of the best cupcake stores in DC! The staff is superb and the cupcakes come out efficiently!

McKenzie Taylor: Decided to try Sprinkles after seeing the line (+ reviews mentioning unfriendly service) at Georgetown Cupcakes) and was not disappointed! The staff at Sprinkles was incredibly friendly and ordering couldn’t have been easier. There were a few customers ahead of me but the kiosks allowed for quick, simple ordering. The red velvet cupcakes were great but the pumpkin was my favorite!

Keli Wright: I always enjoy going to Sprinkles. I went right before they closed and there was no line, a lot of cupcakes were sold out but still a great selection. I have brought lots of people here too.

Stephanie Corte: I’ve been a Sprinkles fan for many years now. The red velvet cupcakes are my very favorite dessert. The cream cheese frosting knocks it out of the park every time. They are just absolutely delicious cupcakes. I recommend becoming a rewards members if you live near a Sprinkles location. I frequently get a free cupcake. This place is definitely worth a visit if you have never been.

Carrie Crowther: My favorite cupcake spot in DC! They’re so light and not overly sweet. Definitely in for a treat, and you don’t have to wait in a long line. My usual go to’s are red velvet, banana, and dark chocolate!

Jacqueline Raymo: We had a "surprise" wedding shower for one of the ladies in our office. Cheryl was very helpful in suggesting a variety of cupcakes for a mixed group. "These cupcakes are amazing". "She was definitely surprised."

Kimberly Medina: Cheryl and her team did an absolutely INCREDIBLE dessert table for our wedding! It was so beautiful and the most delicious cake we have ever tasted. Cheryl listened to what we wanted and made it happen! Everything was perfect. Thank you Savvy Treats! Photo credits courtesy of Brittany Dunbar Photography

Meredith Davitt: We absolutely loved our chocolate wedding cake from Savvy Treats. We coordinated with Cheryl the entire time and she was great in helping us figure out exactly what we wanted. I always wanted an all chocolate wedding cake and Cheryl did not disappoint. I only wish I could have another piece because it was gone at the end of our wedding night. But we ll just have to go back and get another one on our anniversary!

Sthefany Benitez: So the guests ate the whole cake including the 1 year anniversary layer. Sooo good. A lot of times people buy a nice wedding cake but doesn’t taste good. This cake was delicious and you can set different flavors on each layer. Get the cannolis!. If you love dark chocolate the chocolate mousse shooters are the ones. Easy decision for your wedding/event. The other desserts were good too!

Taylor Park: We ordered 15 dozen mini cupcakes for our engagement party. Everyone loved them! We did pick up for our order and it was ready on time. Would definitely recommend for your next event!

Coral Dirks: LOVED the brownies dipped in ganache from here. The brownies were huge, chewy, and looked beautiful. Wish there was more of a store front so that I could try more treats from here! Custom cakes online look incredible. Cheryl was easy to communicate with as well and fast in her response time. Highly recommend!!

Kyara Green: Cheryl was so very nice. I reached out to her about a week in advance. She was responsive, handled my needs, listened carefully to my request, and the delivery of the cake was smooth. The cake is beautiful and I am extremely satisfied with this work! I will definitely use this bakery again in the future.

Wendy W: I’ve never been to this shop, but I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying cakes and delicious desserts at special occasions on many occasions. Most recently at a graduation party, this bakery provided multiple items. The cakes were beautiful and also very delicious. Everyone especially loved the beautiful cupcakes.

Charlis Foster: Beautiful delicious cake. I got the Black Forest and it was excellent. Efficient and pleasant ordering and pick up procedures. Reasonable prices for the quality. Would love to try other desserts.

TJ “TJ” Johnson: Lovely Black Forest cake made last minute. My Dad loved it and wants it for all future birthdays!
