I recently had time to explore a little while in DC, and a charming PINK building caught my eye…read morewhile taking a walk. I had absolutely no plans on buying or eating cake that day, but as a cake lover stuff happens. It was such a cute building the pastries had to be everything! It turned out to be the perfect stop. 1. The looks The building itself is so cute on the outside, and being a fan of the color pink, it instantly caught my attention. Inside, it feels less like a fast, high volume bakery and more like an intimate cake boutique. It gives small town where the owners know you by your first name. You can feel that real love was put into the space and the baking. Tasted like every ingredient was hand mixed, every cake hand frosted, and every cookie carefully hand scooped. They even served my slice of coconut cake on a real plate, which was such a cute, bourgeois touch that I loved. 2. Service The hospitality here is top-notch. On my first visit, yes you heard me! Lol! The gentleman Eric who rang me up was incredibly knowledgeable about all the different cookie and cake flavors. I ended up returning the very next day, and although he wasn't there, the other two staff members working which included Mikaela were absolutely delightful and so kind. The young lady told me her daughter loves the carrot cake as well and Mikaela said they started working there because they loved the patties so much! 3. The Cakes -Coconut Cake: This slice was so delicious, fluffy, and airy that it instantly reminded me of being a kid at holiday family meals with a fresh coconut cake on the table. -Carrot Cake: It was everything you want a carrot cake to be. It was nice and dense yet soft, with a pleasant texture from the added fruits. Definitely noticed pineapple bits! The cream cheese frosting wasn't overly thick and was so good you could eat it completely by itself. -Strawberry Cupcakes: I stole a small bite of my son's. unfortunately, this one was my least favorite. The frosting had a little chemical taste to it but it was a super cute cupcake. To answer your question, will I return? Absolutely! If you are in the DC area or planning a trip there soon, check this spot out. It truly feels like a mom and pop or pop and pop boutique. Not a bakery but a BOUTIQUE! Check them out! Tell them Anisha from Milwaukee sent you! (Not that they'd remember it just sounds cute!)

My granddaughter loves tea parties and they designed a cake with a teapot on top. The cake tasted delicious too. It was light and fluffy. The icing was not too sweet. The birthday cake was huge and we had tons left over. My daughter in law said she was easy to work with and delivered the cake right to their home, on the morning of her party. You should definitely go to her website and look at the awesome designs. She custom makes cakes for any occasion. Her website is goiitreats.com. Take a look at the pictures, this cake is what dreams are made of. And, you will love the taste too.

100% satisfies with my experience with Artzy Custom Cakes. I did a lot of research and asked…read moreseveral cake companies in the area for quotes and Artzy has the best rates for the quality by far. Delivery was included and I paid very little for the value I received. Communication was a breeze, I got help with every question I had, and there were no issues or hiccups with anything. I was told by many of the guests at my engagement party that my cake looked like a $1000 cake! In reality I paid less than half of that for it. Highly recommend this company and I would definitely go back for any event in the future. Tip: I ordered for 95 people, had that many at my party, and still have lots of cake left over. About 1 tier left! So just plan ahead when it comes to that if you don't want lots of extra cake.

I am THRILLED that we found Marisol's cakes for our wedding cake! We worked with Marisol's daughter…read morefrom start to finish and she was so sweet and really brought our vision to life. She gave advice on our various flavor choices and made us feel so well taken care of from the first time we met! I love good food, and it was super important me to have a wedding cake that actually tastes good and isn't just pretty. The Marisol Cakes team exceeded all of our expectations!!!!! We ordered a vanilla cake with guava filling and crème bouquet flavored buttercream. The cake was moist, the filling was so flavorful and the decor was so beautifully done! The icing wasn't too sweet and perfectly complemented the other flavors. We're having our reception in a few months and can't wait to work with Marisol's cakes again soon!

I tried Marisol Cakes at a market and it was nice being able to walk around and see everyone out shopping. The staff at Marisol Cakes are very professional and a pleasure to interact with. They don't have a store but you can always order online and pick up your orders from them. The ambiance outdoors was nice. By the way there are no samples at the market. I was a little sad about that but it didn't deter me from purchasing from them. Give it try, you will love it!

From what I understand, they have new owners as of early 2025. Under the previous owners, I would…read morehave given them 10 stars. All exceptional. All great value for the money. Not so much now. Now it is good but not exceptional like in the past. Their pastries are getting smaller and the prices have gone up. There is also inconsistencies in quality, with some items being slightly overcooked. Napoleons - these are about half the previous size. Still very good though. Strawberry eclair - smaller than previous. Also, the shell is consistently overcooked now. Quiches - these are around a third of the previous size. Sometimes they are overcooked and dry. Also, the mixed veggie quiche is much smaller in depth to the spinach one Various danishes (cheese, apple, cherry, sticky buns) - all around a third of their previous size. Still great quality and tasty though Sfogliatella (Italian pastry) - surprisingly, these are larger than they used to be. These are not good anymore though. The filling tastes good, but it's a weird texture now that they make it larger. The pastry shell is really hard and chewy now that they are larger. These used to be the greatest ever. It's a shame. Cannoli - tried this for the first time today. Won't ever do that again. The shell was good and crispy. The filling was a weird color and had tiny chocolate chips in it. You could tell it was several days old because the chips were soggy. Also, they filled it when we ordered it - and they just put a tiny bit of filling in it so we could actually see through the shell. Not good.

I was a neighbor of PbR when they opened & immediately fell in love with EVERYTHING they made!!!!!…read moreThe layered cakes were perfectly balanced - delicious BUTTERcream thinly spread, that curd was soooooo good & THE moistest cake holding it all in either in whole cakes or a slices! Those French tarts with frangipane-all sublime! All the tea cookies were simply butter, sugar, a little flour-simple and delicious! And those fabulous individual pastries were jewel -like in flavor & in decoration. Anytime I would bring a box filled with PbR's jewels to a friend's home, office party or to my neighbors' block party; I WAS THE DESSERT STAR; deservedly, sharing the best with friends. Then a neighbor brought a PbR coconut cake with lemon curd to our block party and I could not finished my slice... thin cake layers, the "buttercream" was not very buttery but sweet & gritty, what lemon curd?! Nowhere to be found, sadly. The Randolph's retired and the new owners are not reading any of those wonderful recipes from the OGs - Chef Mark Randolph, Chef Cindy & their awesome kitchen team.
