We loved our experience with Creative Cakes. We came in with a very specific idea about the look of our wedding cake, and we weren't forced to take a different direction and our cake looked exactly the way we wanted. More importantly, it was delicious! We've been to plenty of weddings with dry cake and had the expectation that ours would turn out the same, but not with Creative Cakes!

Creative Cakes is a great place to get your cake from, not only did they have a lot of ideas for the decorations, but they have tons of flavors to choose from. The cake at the tasting wasn't as delicious as our wedding cake (which was the best cake I've ever had) but I'm glad that the wedding cake turned out so well. Also, they were very helpful with the cake-topper. I had no idea what I wanted, but they made something beautiful that fit our color profile.

The cake tasted fabulous and it looked fabulous too. They did a WONDERFUL job. They have a lot of choices. Considering that their cake was part of our catering package from the Hilton of Rockville, it still came out beautifully. Gorgeous cake. :)

Creative cakes was included in our contract with the Marriott Hotel. We later found out that pretty much only the basic three-tier buttercream cake is included in it, but we preferred that to the fondant anyway, so it wasn't much of a problem. I wanted the flower of my event to be on the cake, so that was a little bit of an extra, and for the top-tier (the one we'll be taking home), we had a specialty cake inside, so that was tiny bit extra as well; but really not that bad. Honestly, we were slightly concerned about the icing during the tasting because we thought it was a bit too sweet, but on the wedding day, the cake was absolutely perfect and people were all talking about how good the icing was (even the ones that don't usually eat icings!). They asked me to send in the ribbon I wanted and the outline of my cake topper, and they incorporated them perfectly - the cake was really pretty and delicious. :)
I really liked their chocolate and almond cake, but there are a whole lot of variety to choose from - enjoyed the experience!

We had a cake discount with them through our cator, everyone loved the cake it was nice and mosite and the icing was very good. they did a pretty nice job for the price we were paying. We had a "Upgrade" package from traditional roses, to blossoms that cost us $75 dollars, which was alot for us considering it didn't look like it took that much more work. the cake came out very nicely.

Delicious, very responsive, helpful! They also designed the picture overlay for the grooms cake which was great! Their kitchen is very intimate and you really get the impression that they are working hard to make you happy for you wedding. The cake tasted great and we got lots of compliments on it. The worked with my purple and orange color palate and it looked great. I would definitely recommend then because of all the vendors I tasted, they were the best combination of artistry and taste. Great job!

They make a mean cake. Our wedding cake was a spice cake and it was delicious. The cake was fresh and beautiful. The decoration was top notch, and the sugar roses looked quite real. It was delivered on time and it was exactly as we described.

This vendor was great! I had very precise ideas on what I wanted as a wedding cake. I told them I wanted white buttercream with black designs and black pearls draped around it. While many friends had said "that sounds awful", this vendor happily said they would make it work, and it was BEAUTIFUL. The cake was not gothic, as you probably think, but amazing. We topped it with bright purple flowers--so cool. I had many people tell me it was the best cake they've ever tasted. The best part? It was free for me because it was included in my package with the venue! I definitely recommend them.

All I can say is that they delivered me the wrong cake - need I say more?

Ann was lovely to work with, and the cake was quite lovely. I will say the top layer was definitely dry the next day when we ate a piece at home (red velvet) but we had great reviews of the mandarin orange cake served in the bottom tiers at the wedding

I can honestly say that the cake was very good, however it was much smaller than I envisioned and the design I requested could have been executed a little "prettier". Our experience with customer service was hot and cold; We felt like a valued customer during a couple of interactions whereas on other occasions we got straight shot answers with no warm/fuzzies and blank stares. Unfortunately, I do not believe that it was worth the price.

Creative Cakes made a beautiful and delicious almond cake with buttercream icing for my wedding. They worked with my husband and I to create a unique cake that fit our wedding theme. The guests continue to talk about how beautiful the cake looked. I'd recommend this bakery to anyone interested in a wedding cake that looks and tastes great!

After going to several different tastings, my daughter and her fiance selected Creative Cakes as the best tasting cake. We were very pleased with the taste (chocolate and lemon) as well as the design of the cake. We also bought our wedding favors there - white chocolate lollypops in the shape of a wedding cake. Cute, tasty and affordable. I'll definitely use them again.

We (my husband, myself and our guests) were very happy with the cake, it tasted wonderful! We had the spice cake with cream cheese filling and the buttercream frosting. Originally we wanted to have a very simple white cake with a couple dots and designs in white to make it look interesting so we could place a Wall-E and Eve cake topper on top, but we weren't able to get the topper. So a two weeks before the wedding, and a few days before the balance was due, I called and asked to a lot; I changed the number of people that the cake was serving due to less guests than we anticipated, I also changed the cake design and color to match two clay origami cranes, our new cake topper. They were great in making the change and even asked for a picture of the cranes or a swatch to match the colors.
A few things to keep in mind. Take advantage of their cake tasting (aka open house) and their display. The provide a lot of options and if you're not getting an extremely fancy looking cake you'll get a good price. Their store front is a little run down, but the cake tasted great! If you miss their open house and talk with them in person make sure to let them know which flavors your are looking at especially if it is an unusual one because the spice cake that I tried came out of the freezer and was a little freezer burnt so I had doubts about the cake every now and then.
The cake looked fantastic and tasted even better than I could imagine. I would recommend this bakery for your wedding cake.
For those still reading enjoy your wedding and have a wonderful marriage!

We selected Creative Cakes because of all the tastings we did they were clearly the best cake that we had tasted. They were also very flexible in that they allow you to do different flavors in each tier, which not all of the places we visited allowed. All of our guests said it was exceptional wedding cake and that showed since we had none left over! We also ordered our favors here which we did because they were affordable. I fully recommend Creative Cakes any cake.

Creative Cakes did a wonderful job with my wedding cake. It was very simple but tasted fantastic. They even had the ribbon for my cake. Thank you for being a part of my wedding day.

I was a little nervous at first about not having a choice in our bakery selection because our wedding venue provided us with a cake. I went with my fiance' to the open house and tried many different cakes, which was very helpful. However, we were under the impression we would order our cake at this time and that was not the case because it was extremely busy! We made another appointment, which was so wonderful! We sat down with my parents and had an idea of what we wanted because we attended the open house. We definitely received the attention we wanted and tried all the different flavors again! We walked out of the door excited and with almond cupcakes in hand!!! :) On our wedding day, not only did our wedding cake look gorgeous, but it also tasted amazing! We received so many compliments on how moist and flavorful the spice and almond cake was! We enjoyed the leftover cake for a couple days after the wedding! We are really looking forward to our 1 year anniversary to enjoy the rest of our delicious cake! I highly recommend Creative Cakes!!! :)

They have monthly open houses, which made it so easy for my husband and I to taste all their cakes. The staff was attentive to my requests and matched colors from my invitations for details in the decorations perfectly! We got the pound cake with strawberries and double chocolate, and both were delicious!!
