XoXo Cake Boutique, LLC 

5.0

  • Serves Washington, DC

What started as a hobby has turned into my passion. My mom was my inspiration to begin turning my hobby into my dream job. I am self taught and have learned on the way how to perfect my edible art. Originally I branded as XoXo Cupcakes as cupcakes are what began my buttercream journey. I decided to reband our name to XoXo Cake Boutique to include the expansion of my business. XoXo Cake Boutique offers a variety of wedding cakes/cupcakes, special event cakes/cupcakes, and dessert bars featuring cake truffles, chocolate covered strawberries, cream puffs, and mini cupcakes. We specialize in custom flavors and decorative custom designs.

I had a wonderful experience working with XoXo Cake Boutique, LLC for my wedding. Their communication was quick and easy throughout the process, making the cake tasting a breeze. The quality of their work was exceptional - the cake not only looked beautiful, decorated with the flowers from our wedding, but it tasted delicious as well. I would highly recommend XoXo Cake Boutique to any couple looking for a talented and reliable wedding cakes & desserts vendor.

Jeanne was a delight to work with. My husband and I are traditional vanilla cake fans, and she turned us onto some spectacular alternatives! We had such a difficult time deciding which three we would go with for our cake. Not only was the cake delicious and looked gorgeous, but Jeanne was very helpful in figuring out what size cake we should select. I highly recommend using Mill Stream Farms for your next cake needs!

As an event planner I have worked with a lot of cake artists and bakeries, but Cakes by Christa was by far the best experience. She has great communication and goes above and beyond to understand the vision of the clients. The cakes are beautiful designed and always clean. They also taste great, her red velvet is particularly lovely. She has provided cakes and cupcakes for a number of my events and either I nor my clients have ever been left unsatisfied.

Sweet Edible Print 

5.0

  • Starts at $5 per serving
  • Serves Washington, DC

Hey! My name is Andrea and I am the youngest of 4 helping run Sweet Edible Print. This is full hands in family business for the past 5 years! My role of this team is to introduce you to our brand and what we can do to best help you! I make sure every detail between what you envision and our abilities are understood and executed perfectly. Being a family and team of 6, we have plenty of hands on deck making sure every detail is executed through the process!

We contacted Sweet Edible Print after finding it listed on the Zola vendor website for Cakes and Desserts. Our wedding had a "Paris on the Potomac" theme and we wanted wedding favors for our guests that would align with our theme. We consulted with the SEP team on the types and flavors of macarons that we were interested in having and also provided them with our Eiffel Tower design which they were able to match perfectly! The SEP team was able to match our "French blue and white" color scheme and the flavors were delicious! Our guests were impressed with the beautiful design, packaging and various flavors of the macarons. We ordered the "Love on Top" package which allowed us to have a macaron tower during our rehearsal dinner and also to include individually wrapped macarons in each of our wedding guest gift bags. We highly recommend the SEP team for future events!

Melissa's Simply Sweet 

5.0

  • Serves Washington, DC

Just how sweet is Melissa’s Simply Sweet? Oh so sweet, — and my “oh so sweet” story begins with a unique love for service and commitment to my exclusive craft. My passion for baking began at an early age. After venturing into the hotel industry at the Hotel and Culinary School of Santa Barbara, California, I somehow managed to stumble onto the very unexpected culinary art of baking, and haven’t looked back. I never imagined beginning a career in the culinary industry, but after creating my son's 2nd birthday cake 19 years ago, I fell in love and hit the ground running.

Melissa was so easy to work with and very accommodating when we changed the flavors of 2 layers in our cake. The cake was perfect, it turned out exactly how I had imagined it and it was absolutely delicious. We got so many compliments on how yummy the cake was. I would definitely recommend!

We had our wedding reception at a brewery and wanted some easy to eat sweet and salty snacks. These popcorn flavors were delicious, they sent us flavors to try before we decided. We chose 4 flavors and they shipped them right to our house. The popcorn buckets had our cute custom labels which they designed for us and looked PERFECT! We had tons of compliments on the popcorn. We ordered plenty and people were grabbing them to take home at the end of the night. A perfect snack after a few beers. Theu were very fast with the samples and the order too!

Ava and her team at Ava's Cakes LLC were an absolute delight to work with from start to finish. Their communication was always prompt, clear, and personable, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - the desserts they created for our wedding were not only delicious, but also beautifully detailed and presented. I initially hired Ava for my bridal shower, and her baked goods were so good that I just had to have her do our wedding as well. Everything, including our personal-sized wedding Oreo cheesecake, was absolutely amazing. My husband didn't even want to share it, it was that good!

I’m incredibly lucky to be able to create mini works of art in so many different ways using such simple ingredients, all of which are edible. My love of art and baking has made an incredible opportunity to spread happiness in the form of food art, while working from home and enjoying my family.  It brings me so much joy to think of how many wonderful celebrations my work has been a part of. 

We ordered a lemon blueberry 3-tiered cake from Megan at Three Melons Bake shop and it was incredible! Not only did it look so pretty, it was also so tasty!! I had 5 different people text me the day after the wedding to ask who made the wedding cake and tell me that it was the best wedding cake they ever had! My husband and I also did tastings with 3 other bakeries before booking Megan and none of them came close to any of her flavors. She was extremely easy to communicate with and she delivered a beautiful cake! I highly recommend Three Melons Bake Shop for any bakery needs!!

Abby’s Cake and Desserts 

5.0

  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Washington, DC

Abby's Cake and Desserts, LLC started with its owner, Margui's passion for baking. Since very little she learned how to bake cakes from scratch using the best ingredients available. In her early twenties she developed this interest for cake decorating and sculpting, which made her learned everything about cakes. For about ten years now she has been indulging family, friends and customers with her creations. Margui's love for baking goes beyond from making only cakes. She loves to mix ingredients and create beautiful desserts.

Margui made amazing cakes for us at our wedding (including an amazing groomsman cake of a shoe for my runner husband) that people kept raving about, so when we had a first birthday celebration for our son, we had to once again get the cakes from Margui. She made a three tier cake for the guests with the theme (Formula 1 car racing) that we'd requested, a smaller cake with the same theme for the birthday boy, and a smash cake for his photo shoot. We also ordered cupcakes for the decorations table. The cakes were amazing and everything we'd hoped for. The guests loved them of course - thanks Margui and we can't wait to get more cakes for future events. Margui's cakes are simply amazing!
