    Literally THE BEST looking & tasting cakes you'll Ever see or eat! If you have a special event or even want to make an event feel special you need a cake to complete It-- & not just any cake you need a Cake by Lala!!! It will change your life & your prospective on Luxury Cakes! I've had a Birthday Cake & Gender Reveal Cake & I was in Awe for both; she always exceeds the expectations & over delivers. Plus she is just an amazing person inside & out 10/10

    Bday cake

    Absolutely GORGEOUS cakes, and they taste as amazing as they look. The BEST in the DMV, 1000% recommend ordering Cakes by Lala!! She is the sweetest, so easy to work with, completely custom work. I had a fantastic experience overall. This review is long overdue, I got my mom's 50th birthday cake from LaLa a year ago and it was everything I hoped it would be. Everyone loved it, and yes, these cakes are THAT much better than something you'd order from some other storefront bakery.

    I contacted Lala in February to make my daughter's birthday cake, and the design was beyond amazing! Lala herself is the sweetest person ever; she responds to all emails promptly. I am a customer for life!

    Lala is the nicest woman ever and makes the best cakes! I emailed her a week before my birthday to place a last-minute order, and she was very quick to reply and accommodate me. Additionally, my birthday fell on a Monday, and she was still able to fit me in despite being closed. How nice of her to accommodate me on her day off! I have tried a lot of home bakeries based in the DMV, and the presentation of the cake and the price you pay are absolutely worth it. She is professional and just as sweet as her cakes. I will be back!

    Amazing!! My Twin sister and I loved everything. From her customer service to the taste of the cakes! The cakes looked so gorgeous! We got one vanilla and tried her Cinnamon with Cookie Butter filling. So bomb! can't wait until I order from her again! Thank you again LaLa !! Xoxo Monae and Monique

    I contacted Lala last minute for a cake for my daughters lol surprise theme birthday party. She responded immediately and was extremely informative and kind. I provided her with the theme and color scheme, and she nailed it! The cake came out way better than I imagined. Not only did it look great but the taste was AHHMAZINNGG. We got so many compliments! Looking forward to ordering again very soon.

    Omg I searched lala on Instagram and took a chance on her for my daughters second birthday yesterday and to be honest I thought to myself " the odds of finding an affordable, beautifully decorated and delicious cake are slim " so I was prepared for the taste to be average but boy was I wrong. I got funfetti with salted caramel filling and it was honestly the top 3 cakes I've EVER HAD. it was sooooo good. I am on a mission to social every outlet to leave a review because the DMV area must know about the gem. Thank you lala.

    26th Birthday Cake
    Sharon K.

    This woman is truly the BEST baker in the DMV. Listen, if you want a delicious cake, decorated perfectly, and a show stopper book with her. She made my 26th birthday cake and it was fantastic. The flavor was perfect and definitely met my expectations. She was responsive and met my needs. It was easy to pick up my cake and did not move the entire hour drive to my destination. PS: get the Oreo filling!!

    Sooo thankful I found Lala for my wedding ceremony cake!!!! I want to say it was through Yelp but she's much bigger on Instagram @cakesbylalae - check her out. She worked with me to modify what the cake will look like based on my fluctuating guest count. She was able to create this DREAM of a cake to match my outfit and decor. It first began as a two tier with florals but then I saw her geodes (which she is AMAZING at making) and requested that. The cake was perfection. One layer was cinnamon and one was vanilla. It was a huge hit and obviously very very beautiful! She is the sweetest and very easy to work with. Ordering all my future cakes from her!

    This is probably one of the best cakes i've ever had . I asked Lalae to make my babyboy's first birthday cake , i showed her what i wanted and she made exactly what i asked for with her own touch ! The color , the flavor , the look ..everything was just perfect ! Her prices are great and she makes her cakes with love . From now on i will always order my cakes from her that's for sure . DEFINITELY RECOMMEND !!!!!! Thanks you so much for making our birthday unforgettable !

    I've ordered cakes from several local bakeries and cake artists, and Cakes by Lala is hands down the best - both for flavor and beauty. Attached are two cakes I've ordered from Cakes by Lala - the geode cake was an absolute stunner. Highly recommend the cinnamon cake with snickerdoodle cookie butter filling! I only order cakes from her now :)

    I took a chance with Lala, and don't regret it at all. Lala was amazing. From the moment I e-mailed her on my interest she responded quickly and was willing to accommodate all my wishes. I got a 4 tier cake and 2 dozen cupcakes for a great price! It was all worth it! It was a great experience and do plan on getting more cakes from her. I am glad to have stumbled upon her Instagram page. Her work is a hidden gem!

    I was trying to think of a party favor for my friend's gender reveal party. I am so lazy and would…read moreprefer to avoid DIY as much as possible and so thought of doing custom cookies! Did a Yelp search and found District Desserts. I had an idea to make the cookies tie into the nursery theme of Labradors, so I asked District Desserts if they could do this. I corresponded with Tania entirely by email, and she was very timely with her responses. She sent me pictures, and I selected the dog shaped cookies and told her the colors I wanted them in. I did change my order few days before from 24 to 30 cookies, and she said it wasn't a problem. I picked the cookies up from the Little Bitts Cake Shop at the register. They were in a nice box. They did the cookies perfectly! My friend loved them, and the cookies were delicious! I would use them again and recommend them.

    WOW! Can't say enough good things about this place. They are very easy to work with and the product…read moreis spectacular. The cookies looked great but moreover they were DELICIOUS! I ordered the Light Almond Flavor and I keep getting texts from family that they are now addicted to these cookies and keep craving more. They are well packaged in either ribbon tied bags or vacuum sealed bags, perfect for party favors. If you pick them up, they are located in an adorable baking goods shop with every sort of baking decoration and need you can imagine. Will certainly be back!
