At Sweet Greene Cupcakery we specialize in edible artistry to create unique and delicious desserts to make your event’s dessert table stand out.

I have a severe wheat allergy and finding a bakery willing to accommodate this was an extreme hassle. Until I found sweet green cupcakery. They have been supportive, professional and communicative- and most importantly, and the cake is delicious!! I have used them for every family birthday and milestone since our wedding. Every time has been a stress free and delicious experience :)

The Red Bandana Bakery

  • Starts at $50
  • Serves Washington, DC

The Red Bandana is a happy, healthy little bakery in Bethesda, MD. We like to make people happy with celebratory dessert food but we don’t want to feel guilty about what we’re feeding them so we try to make it as good for their body as it is for their soul. Owner/operator Jaimie Mertz went to culinary school in 2011 with the plan to become a pastry chef, and a year later doctors put her autistic brother Jack on a gluten-free casein-free diet to try to help with some behavioral issues.

The Red Bandana Bakery was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was great, and they were incredibly professional and reliable throughout the process. Our wedding cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious - Jaimie did an amazing job bringing our vision to life with different layers and flavors just as we had discussed. The delivery and setup were also timely and flawless. We could not be more pleased with the quality of their work and the value they provided for our special day.

XoXo Cake Boutique, LLC

  • 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.

Whenever one of my photography clients needs a recommendation for a baker for their wedding or event I always recommend XoXo Cake Boutique! Their cakes are always delicious no matter the flavor and are so beautiful as well. Heather never fails to deliver and always does a great job with setup the day-of and will work with provided florals for cakes as well to make them seamlessly match your wedding theme. Don't hesitate to book!

Ultimately, I want my creations to evoke a feeling or relationship with the viewer, spark interest and achieve fluid movement. "

Sally did an amazing job on our cake! My husband loved her strawberry lemonade cake but I’m unfortunately allergic to strawberries. Sally was amazing and helped us decide on a different fruit we could use in place of the strawberries. She made the cake absolutely beautiful! Our colors were blue green and gold; it was amazing to see how she incorporated all of the colors! She did a fine line gold edging and it came out phenomenally! We got so many compliments on the cake for both taste and aesthetics!

We could not have asked for a better wedding cake. Shanna and Dakota brought our vision to life so wonderfully. The entire process was easy start to finish. We are from out of state, but they were able to mail samples to us directly which was great for the decision making process. Chocolate cake with raspberry filling is absolutely the way to go!

Our original baker cancelled on us two weeks before our wedding and I was panicking to find someone to make our wedding cake as all the bakeries I knew of all said they were booked. We were thankfully recommended to Ava by a family friend and even though she was booked as well she said she would do it. We are beyond thankful for Ava’s professionalism, talent and stark attention to detail. I don’t think anyone could have brought our vision to life like she did and we continue to use her to this day for all events and parties we have. Thank you again and again, Ava!

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, 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.

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!
