    The Cake was Buck or Doe theme for Gender Reveal
    Cassaundra R.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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

    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!

    It's rare that you find a baker that can make a cake that tastes good AND look good. Ordered a unicorn cake for my daughter's 9th birthday. She's obsessed with unicorns and Cakes by Lala was the only local bakery that was able to do a unicorn cake that I liked. The cake was absolutely gorgeous. My daughter loved it. It was very moist too which you don't get so much with nice looking cakes. I'll definitely use them again for another occasion.

    I ordered a birthday cake and smash cake from them. They were extremely communicative and I…read moreappreciated them working with me on design and budget. For that, I'd rate them 5 stars. However, when I picked up the cakes we noticed there was a small hairline crack in the crown but I figured it would be okay. We stored the cakes in a commercial fridge before it was time to sing happy birthday. When they took the cakes out, the crown was crumbling it's just a cake so I dismissed it. When it was time to eat the cake, we noticed nobody finished it. It wasn't until we came home and tasted it and it barely had flavor. We got the pistachio and raspberry. Pistachio was flavorless and raspberry was light but not flavorful. Customer service 10/10 Design 7/10 (because of the crown) Taste 5/10 They really did work with my budget so I'm wondering if maybe that was the compromise?

Not so easy for picking out a wedding cake that will make or break your party and leave guests baffled. I was 90% done with wedding planning and left the cake for last. I didn't want to be bothered with hunting for a vendor, making multiple visits and who to trust. I finally googled a cake store nearby and found Cakes in Style in the Rockville, MD area, very convenient. I took my fiancé at the time to meet with the owner Robert. I made an appointment with Robert; we went in and were amazed. First off, we saw many samples on the counter as well as in his portfolio. Then we went over the logistics of the cake, he took down great notes, provided great suggestions, and was very enthusiastic about helping us. He was kind enough to provide us with an impromptu cake tasting. My fiancé had made up his mind by the end of the free consultation, he picked the design, and we were all set. Robert kept in touch with updates, provided easy and flexible methods of payment and he delivered the cake on time and in one piece. We have seen many cake fail videos but nothing be scared about with Cakes in Style. Our venue was familiar to the owner, so we felt comfortable working with him. We left the store happy and content. We had selected a Red Velvet Cake with a Cream filling, our guests mentioned that it was the best cake they have ever had. It tasted amazing as well as looked beautiful. Presentation and Detail were on spot. I highly recommend Cakes in Style to all and everyone looking for a cake for their special occasion. I will surely use their services again in the future. They treated us like family and not just some random customer walking through the door. Thank you, Robert and Lucia, for adding your magic to make our wedding magical.

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 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.

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!

Can't turn left into it from the opposite road either) and while the pastries are always really good, what made me write this was the quality of the matcha I had.

I highly recommend the strawberry matcha, it has real strawberries in it (possibly macerated). The service was quick and reliable, and the ambiance of the place was very charming.

I also got a slice of lemon bread for breakfast tomorrow, and a strawberry cake for later. I cannot wait to try my other treats. I'm sure they will be just as delicious as the Biscoff cake. Met the owner who was very cordial. The business next door (connecting) belongs to a family member.
