    Red velvet, chocolate raspberry, and the (already eaten) double chocolate cupcakes
    Jake S.

    Came in shortly after moving down here. Not a long walk from the house at all. Always smelled sweet flavors and knew it had to be from here. It did not disappoint! We grabbed 3 cupcakes and 2 pastries for around 13$. We got to try the red velvet, double chocolate, and the chocolate raspberry cupcakes. All 3 of them hit the spot. The pastries, we waited until the morning to try. Holy cows! The little light fluffy crusts with a big dallop of filling! Yum! Had the apple and the strawberry one! Definitely we will be back!

    Absolutely incredible design and flavor/texture. The Marines in my building could not stop raving about it. Do not hesitate to order from her!!

    Cupcake variety

    Love this local bakery. I'm in a book club and when it's my turn to bring snacks the whole group gets excited because they know I'll will be bringing a dozen mixed cupcakes from Michelle's. They always have the "classic" cupcakes you hope for (red velvet!) but even better, they always have new flavors which really show the bakers are having FUN! From the recipes to the decor, they are so creative and always delicious!

    Letter C cake

    We love Michelle's Cakes!!! I wanted a cute cake for my daughter's 14th birthday. Sent in a picture of a letter cake that we saw online and told them her favorite color is green...they turned it in to the most gorgeous cake I've ever seen! I ate all of the macarons and my daughter grabbed all of white chocolate glitter balls. The cake itself was so moist and rich. The icing is super sweet! All of the kids at her party loved it! The small round cake held a green glitter "14" sign. When we picked up the cake I had my son with me and he made sure we grabbed a couple cupcakes and mini cinnamon rolls to "hold us over" until we could get to the cake. And ofcourse, they were delicious too.

    Strawberry shortcake

    Thank you so much! The strawberry shortcake cake was everything. I have searched high and low trying to find the best cake place in the years I've been residing in Virginia and this was ITTTTT. Thank you again Michelle's cake and crew!!!!

    This is the best cake place I've ever been to. The people were so nice and helpful and made a beautiful cake for my son's 16th birthday. On top of that it tasted amazing! The best red velvet cake and a very happy 16-year-old. Highly recommend.

    I ordered this cake for my daughter birthday . I just showed pics from Pinterest what I want and they made this cake and it's even better then I expected! I really appreciate a good service and always love to support small business who does amazing job!

    Michelle's Cakes is a dessert shop 35 minutes south of Washington, D.C. in Indian Head, Maryland. From the outside, it looks like an old general store drawing you in. However, it's a dessert shop instead. Michelle usually takes cake orders for all kinds of events and occasions, but she does have a storefront where you can buy cupcakes made daily (and the menu rotates). Outside, you can sit on benches on the front porch. My daughter and I had a yellow cupcake with chocolate frosting. I am sure the cakes are great, but the cupcakes were just okay. They tasted like cupcakes you can buy for less money at a grocery store.

    Perfection! Just adorable decorating and delicious tasting Cake! We love this business! They are prompt to back to you. Pick up is effortless! Payment is easy. Just love ordering from here.

    What I got! Just to be clear to the owner we cut the cake from the bottom so DON'T TRY AND PLAY ME!

    September 17, 2023 was my wedding day and it was not what I expected! I have had some communication issues before hand but I still chose to use this bakery. I trusted Michelle's cakes to provide a service for a very important part of my life. Instead I got a wedding cake that look like a child decorated it along with it looking like the leaning tower of Pisa in my wedding photos! What I discussed vs what I got look nothing alike! She is unprofessional and full of it! I am hurt and displeased because I cannot get that day or photo back. Every time someone post that HORRIBLE CAKE I get upset all over again.

    So glad for the referral of this wonderful bakery. Michelle did a FANTASTIC job with an old fashioned cake done 65 years ago! It was so similar to the original it was amazing! Can't refer or give this bakery enough stars for the great tasting cake with just enough sweetness in the icing! Superb!

    The cakes are making and I'm not much of a cake person. I'm my opinion the cakes are somehow tasting better than the cupcakes. But service is great, you just show them what you want and it'll be ready within a few days.

    We were blown away with our wedding cake! It was simply stunning and the taste was amazing! There was literally 1 plate left of cake- my guests came up for seconds it was so good. I suggest asking your caterer to save you a slice of each flavor. We did strawberries & cream, chocolate with raspberry filling and maple walnut. The maple walnut was my favorite!

    It's okay. Not a lot of options when you walk in. Cupcakes are great but very overpriced.

    Delicious! Is this establishment still in operation? If so where? Bree's cupcakes and cookies are…read moredelicious with a variety to choose from.

    Bree's has moved to Accokeek!…read more This cupcakery is described as an 'old-fashioned bakery with a youthful touch' - it was started back in '11 when Bree (Breana), was just 12 years old! She started off making baked goods for friends, families, and for her church, and did all through an online operation. It became such a success that she finally opened up her own little shop (and, I'm so glad that she did!!!)! Flavors ranged from Carrot Walnut Raisin, Coconut, Snickerdoodle, Peaches n Cream, and Mint Chocolate are some of the cupcake offerings, as well as cookies, brownies, pies (apple, sweet potato, lemon meringue, and pumpkin), and sweet breads (apple cinnamon, banana walnut, cranberry, and sweet potato). I tried a Red Velvet (with cream cheese frosting), Strawberry Dream (strawberry cupcake topped with a strawberry cream cheese frosting and slices of fresh strawberries), Rainbow Sherbert (my absolute favorite, as it tasted like a tropical loveliness in your mouth!), and a Lemon Supreme (lemon cupcake topped with a lemon frosting and a fresh lemon wedge). All the cupcakes were so moist and not too sweet, and the frostings were flavored as well. I highly suggest in coming early, as their cupcakes run out quickly. +Rainbow Sherbert cupcake +Strawberry Dream +Lemon Supreme +plenty of parking

    I have had this place on my try list for a while it was just a matter of driving down to it (it's a…read morelittle far from me) but the drive was worth it!!! The owner was very friendly and provided excellent customer service. He walked me through their menu and different cakes he offered (it was so many choices and hard to decide what to choose). Another customer gave some recommendations. So I ended up going with the Honey Bun cake and the Rum Banana Pudding cake...oh...my...goodness!!!!! It was amazing, like close your eyes while you eat it amazing. Super moist and full of flavor! I can't wait to make that trip again to go back and try a different flavor.

    So glad I finally tried this place!!!…read more I saw an advertisement on their social media for a "snow day" dinner plate special. It was one entree, rice, two sides, a drink and a dessert for just $15. It had snowed pretty heavily so finding parking was a little harder than usual. The place is small, so ordering inside and waiting could get a little tight. Unfortunately, by the time we got there, some of their main entrees had already been sold out, but we went with the jerk chicken and the brisket dinner plates. We did have to wait a while for the food to be ready so I would recommend calling ahead to order, if you know what you want. Their website has all of their cake options listed but I did not see a space for the specials. When we got home with the food that's when we really got to see how HUGE the portions are. All of the food was AMAZING!!!! And it had a delicious Carolina BBQ sauce on it that I just couldn't get enough of. The desserts we had were the red velvet cheesecake and the banana pudding cheesecake. I definitely recommend this place and I am excited to visit again.
