I had to look for a last minute substitute for a birthday cake after the first option fell through…read more I scoured DC for cake options and I stumbled upon Tiered and Petite. They had many mouthwatering options on their website, however we decided on their strawberries and cream option and instead of the perseveres filling we opted for the "sorbet" option. The look: check, the cake: check, the sorbet: check, but the cream cheese filling is going to be a no forme. I'm not sure if the cream cheese filling had too much lemon juice or cream of tartar (to stabilize it) but it was definitely giving sour. As everything else was so great I would definitely consider coming back again to try their other options (4/5). FYI: they offer pickup and delivery (this starts at $20)

And not only did it look absolutely amazinggggg --truly picture-perfect--but it tasted incredible and was ginormous! It fed everyone at the party and then my office the next day! From the very beginning, Cotton was so kind, communicative, and easy to work with. The turnaround time was impressively quick, delivery was seamless, and the whole process was super simple! I couldn't recommend Tiered and Petite more!!

People always message/call me after my events, asking for details on where I got them ... and begging for any leftovers . Most of the time I wouldn't even get one for myself if I didn't hide some away before the event started ! I truly don't go anywhere else for cakes or cupcakes--Kaked Up has my loyalty for life! Highly, highly recommended.

So literally, I just got home from Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes, and I went there on happenstance after…read moremy sewing class because I was so close to Sonic. We do not have one where I live, so I naturally get excited every time I'm near one, and I make it my mission to stop and get a slushie. I traditionally get the lemon slush or the lime slush. But unbeknownst to me, Sonic redid their menu. Since there isn't one close to my house, I had to update the app and sign back in. Then I tried to order my usual drink, but because it had been more than 90 days since my last visit, my previous order was gone. So I started looking through the menu, only to realize the lemon frozen slush and the lime frozen slush were no longer there. I literally spent over 30 minutes sitting in the Sonic stall scrolling through the app because you have to order through it to get the half-price slushes. Now they have these new slushes with some type of tea concentrate, and I already know I don't like green tea. I didn't want to risk paying for something I probably wouldn't enjoy, especially since there wasn't an option to sample it. So I opened my Maps app to see what was nearby. That's when I noticed that a young lady I'd been following on Instagram had her Italian ice shop close by. I thought, "Oh my goodness!" It was less than a mile away, so I drove over to Killa Italian Ice & Smoothie and picked up some lemonade and a slice of cake. After that, I thought, "Let me see what other small businesses I can support while I'm over here." I wasn't really interested in any of the other food options because they were things I could already get in Woodbridge. So I searched for bakeries and found Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes, just a short drive away. I walked in, and to my surprise, they had a full restaurant menu in addition to their baked goods. Let me tell you, these people were so amazingly welcoming the moment I walked in. "Hey, sis!" "Hi, welcome!" I immediately felt at home, and I honestly haven't felt that way in an establishment in a very long time. I ended up telling the young lady behind the register about my whole Sonic adventure, and she said, "Well, let me let you try my chicken curry salad." Now, I didn't have the heart to tell her that I don't like chicken salad, so I said, "Okay." Let me tell you...that chicken curry salad was banging. I was like, "Oh wow. This is good." As we kept talking, I looked over the menu and realized I didn't want my usual comfort foods like pizza, collard greens, or macaroni. I wanted to try something different. So I ordered their Chicken with Attitude with rice and cabbage. The chicken had a Middle Eastern rustic flavor. It was roasted, incredibly tender, and unlike anything I'd had before. It's definitely a different taste and probably an acquired one, but I really enjoyed it. Although I'd only had that sample of the chicken curry salad, it was so good that I ordered half a pound of it to take home, along with a piece of pound cake. Like I said at the beginning, I DO NOT EAT chicken salad, but it completely surprised me. But beyond the food, they brought me a complimentary lemonade while I was sitting there eating. It tasted so fresh, like freshly squeezed lemon with other fresh fruit over ice. It was absolutely delicious and refreshing. Everywhere throughout the restaurant were little signs about genuine kindness. The whole place just felt welcoming. Being from Alabama, I grew up with Southern hospitality. You make eye contact, greet people, and make them feel at home. That's not meant to discredit businesses in DC, Maryland, or Virginia. This area is a melting pot of people from all over the world, and culturally, not everyone expresses hospitality the same way. But when I walked into Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes, every single person embodied that welcoming spirit. It wasn't just one employee. It was the people behind the counter, the people coming out of the kitchen, and even those arriving for work. I just remember thinking, "Wow." I felt safe. I felt welcomed. I felt wanted. I felt at home. I felt like family. More than the food, I felt like I had found my tribe. I found my village. I honestly wish I lived closer because, if I did, I'd probably be there every day. Since moving to this area in 2009, that's the feeling I've been missing. If I could recommend Sweet Tooth Cafe & Cakes a million times over, it wouldn't just be because of the food. It would be because of the sense of belonging. It's that feeling of walking into a place where everybody knows your name, even when they don't. If you're going through something, this is the place to go. Not just to feed your belly, but to feed your soul.

This location as a few parking spots, that they share with other businesses, and you are able to sit down inside of the restaurant. They also bake cakes.

I'm also from LA, and we have plenty of amazing bakeries, bread shoppes and wonderful food all around. I've had a tough time here in DC these last few months- the food quality just isn't the same, and the breads have all sucked. Thankfully I found mother's market, which I LOVE- and that first day of finding the market, I went right for the local baguette & sourdough. BOTH of which are fantastic. They are fresh, they last forever too! I can't believe how long my sourdough lasted! Anyway, if you're looking for the best bread in DC, you'd better get Lyon, they won't disappoint! It's the only brand or bread I'll be buying/eating here!!!
