Custom Cake Design came with our wedding package with the Holiday Inn of Gaithersburg, but we could not have asked for a better bakery. First, they have tastings once a month where you can try 20+ of their different flavors and fillings. We decided on the chocolate chip cake. It was delicious! Not like some wedding cakes that are dry and dense. This was light and fluffy, but dense enough to hold up the second layer. The decorations were flawless. They were very flexible with us when we didn't have our cake topper ready when we said we would. Then when I dropped off the topper (we did them ourselves with Transformers action figures) the woman at the bakery said they would try to match the color of the docorations with the colors in my female topper's bouquet. The colors matched perfectly! We could not have been more pleased with our wedding cake and the guests loved that we didn't pick some traditional flavor!

I loved their cakes and the cake tasting they offer are very convenient to a full week's work schedule. The models of cakes they display give you a real feel for what you will be ordering than just a picture can offer you. They are very easy to work with. My cake was included in our reception package so it included many different options and if we wanted any upgrades it would be an additional cost but we were very happy with the options we had to choose from!The cake was delicious and very moist w/ LOTS great icing so if you don't like icing you can take some off but if you like icing you will be in heaven!! We chose the butter yellow cake w/ raspberry filling which was wonderful! I also loved the almond and rum flavored cake!!

Absolutely DELICIOUS! These bakers have been in business for a long time (as evidenced by their many photo albums filled with pictures of wedding cakes they've done) and it truly shows in their work. There are VERY many options to chose from as far as flavors and fillings, and we went with their most popular, the white raspberry with champagne frosting. It was light and delicious and a huge crowd pleaser! We got a lot of compliments on our cake. It was also beautiful!!! Exactly what I described during our consultation. I highly recommend Custom Cake Design!

When I went for my tasting, I saw a cake I liked but wanted to make a few tweaks to the icing color and add a few more rustic touches...I gave my ideas to Nancy and moved on. The day of the wedding when I first saw the cake, I honestly could not beleive it! Nancy hit is right on the head and captured EXACTLY what I wanted. It was the most beautiful cake I have ever seen. Not to mention, it was so moist and delicious. It really looked like a cake right out of a bridal magazine!

A cake from Custom Cake Design was included in our wedding package from Holiday Inn Gaithersburg. We chose the shop’s signature flavor, white raspberry, with an ivory buttercream icing. It was so delicious! We considered getting a filling for the cake, but the cake has a strong flavor itself, that the fillings did not add much. We got a 75 servings three tier wedding cake. For a small fee we were able to bring in our own ribbon that they wrapped around each tier for us! Our cake came with one free column separation, which we declined, but it ended up on our cake anyways. But it honestly looked better with our cake and made it look much bigger, so I was happy for the mistake. Our experience was nothing but pleasant with Custom Cake Design! Thank you so much.

Custom Cake Design is a great place for any type of cake. We were provided a cake tasting of all the flavors of cake. We explain to the staff what kind and design of cake we wanted. They was eager to help us design the perfect cake. The price was very reasonable. Everyone love it. They also provided instruction to store the cake and a box to save the top layer cake for our 1 year anniversary. If your looking for the perfect cake with a reasonable price then Custom Cake Design is the place to go it.

The cake was so good and looked great! It was on time and the people were very enthusiasic. The only problem I had was the hours, they closed at 3 during the work and only opened on Saturdays till 10 am, so it made it hard to drop off things they needed if you work full time. Also when I bought the cake topper they didn't let me know that certain cake toppers aren't sturdy enough so they charge you extra money to add a base so it'll stay in place. I feel they should have mentioned it when I first met with them.

We ordered a cake from this place for my sister’s wedding upon the recommendation of someone at HSUS. So glad we did – it was beautiful and delicious!

Wedding cake was absolutely delicious and beautiful! We also had a chocolate fountain with everything you can imagine for dipping. There were even chocolate covered strawberries initialed with last name in white, such a nice touch! We also ordered cookies for our hotel guest bags. Custom Cake wrapped the cookies in clear cellophane bags with white ribbon. The cookies were yummy as well! The owners and her staff are wonderful to work with and we highly reccommend them.

The cake was gorgeous. We chose the almond cake and guests raved about it being the best wedding cake they had ever had. We also chose a custom design and Custom Cakes did great with it. They were very organized and called us ahead of time for our cake topper. I felt like I did not have to worry about them delivering the cake the way we wanted it.

The White Raspberry flavor cake was to die for and everyone at our wedding agreed. Very prompt with returning answers to questions and will refer to all my friends in the area.

Custom Cake Design was very nice, it was awesome to attend the tasting and have the opportunity to pick the perfect cake. Every one who helped was very nice and they were always quick to respond to requests. It was tough for us to get a cake, the number of people we had were in the middle of their size options so we had to get a bigger cake than we really needed (not really that bad since I love cake...but would be nice for a little more flexibility). This vendor was recommended through our reception site. I didn't realize how much everything would cost with simple changes to the design...I wanted a circle instead of square and had a smooth surface rather than any designs on the cake and that cost more than some cakes I saw that were much more detailed. We asked them to match the color from our wedding for part of the cake and I realize it is very difficult to match colors but with their experience I was confident it would turn out good. We were looking for a darker almost rust colored orange and it turned out looking pink. If you were far away and in most of the pictures it did look peach/orange but was not even close to the sample color we provided. The taste of the cake was awesome and their service was awesome...I would definitely recommend, but next time I would choose something more simple to get the right value for cost.
