Absolutely the best! My daughter’s cake 3 tier with the birch tree design icing was the talk of the guests. Our florists added flowers, foliage and berries for the perfect touch. Raspberry filling for 2 layers and lemon curd filling along with a separate chocolate cake. The cake tasting was so fun! Highly recommend.
Great bakery to work with. The cake was perfect.
I absolutely LOVED getting my wedding cake from Charles Street Bakery. I actually had their cake from a previous wedding and I knew I had to have them for ours!
The consultation process was so easy and the staff was so friendly and welcoming for our tasting. They were able to capture all of the details of the cake we wanted and we couldn't be more than happier.
The vanilla raspberry cake is to die for! I dropped off fake flowers for them to use in our cake and told them to just get creative (with a small reference photo of course) and boy did they deliver! Our cake was to be simple but elegant and my goodness it was everything I wanted and more! It was the perfect blend of icing, cake, and flowers to really make it stand out and be something great! Please book them for your wedding cakes! For any cakes! I know I will be using them for many occasions to come!
We had our wedding in June and were very disorganized when it came to our cake. I brought my cake request to Charles Street bakery about a month before the wedding and then change my mind about the flavor, twice during that month! They pivoted amazingly- though it was only a 6" cake, it turned out incredibly! We ended up with a brownie with strawberry jam filling that looked like a cake. I showed them a picture I had found of a scroll design in the icing and they matched it to a T! Beautiful job!
We hired Charles Street Bakery to make our wedding cake for our wedding on 9/16/17. We chose two flavors, lemon cake with raspberry filling & red velvet both with vanilla buttercream frosting. The cake was absolutely delicious, and we received tons of complements from wedding guests. We worked with Zoey at the bakery, and asked that she decorate the cake with a simplistic white frosting technique and then with fresh cut flowers. I showed her pictures for inspiration, but honestly the cake design turned out way better than the pictures. I could not have been happier with the taste and the design of our wedding cake. Thank you, Charles Street Bakery for a cake to remember.
Charles street bakery made our wedding cake and it was perfect! I changed my mind a few times on the design and colors of the cake and the staff was always kind and helpful. Not only was our cake beautiful but it was also delicious. Everyone raved about how good the cake was. I also surprised my husband with a grooms cake. I gave the bakery a basic idea of what I was thinking and let them have free range and it was awesome! It had all his sports teams on it, a jersey with his name on it, a video game controller..it was just perfect and tasted great too. We were very happy we hired Charles Street bakery!
Delicious and beautiful cake!! Planning with Charles Street Bakery was so easy and fun! They are really creative and helped me get my ideas onto the cake! The cake tasting was fabulous! Two of my sisters have gotten married before me and I attended their cake testings at other bakeries where we got a small fork size portion of cake to try...not the case at Charles Street Bakery. Here, they give everyone huge slices to try and every type was delicious! The cake arrived at my venue gorgeous and my guests loved the cake as well!!
We loved our cake and all the wonderful sweets we had at our wedding! We couldnt have been happier!
La Plata is a beautiful historical town in Maryland. I knew very little about it until I found Charles Street Bakery online. First and foremost this is a small bakery shop with fun loving people. The cake tasting was great! It was free, and Deborah made my wedding cake so beautiful!! My guests were in awe. I would recommend this vendor and I will make sure to visit La Plata soon!! Thank you sooo much This was my first tasting of strawberry cake and it was goood we used it with red velvet for our wedding flavors
Cake looked and tasted amazing!!! We used chocolate and vanilla cake flavored. We especially liked the chocolate. Cake design also looked great. Very detailed and perfect. We were very pleased. Kept top layer for 1st anniversary but are planning on ordering a fresh small replica to enjoy on our wedding anniversary :-). Would highly reccommend
Charles Street bakery made my wedding cake and it surpassed all expectations I had. I could not believe that my cake was as gorgeous as it was, on top of tasting so delicious. Every bite was eaten and I can't wait until the next party we have just so I can have an excuse to have a cake made. BEST CAKE EVER.
the cakes here are awesome. i would recommend them to anyone
I have a very busy work schedule and trying to do tastings and contact people was a little hectic. I had gotten in touch with a few different vendors and at first things would go great and then all of the sudden the communication would just stop. One vendor told me that the cake I wanted done would HAVE to be done with fondant (which I did NOT want and knew that it did NOT have to be done that way) when I expressed my concerns and asked her if she could do it another way she just stopped talking to me all together. All she had to do was say she wasn't comfortable with that.
I finally contacted Charles Street Bakery and they were amazing! I got a tasting the day after I called and when I went in they were so helpful. She said she had no problem doing the cake without fondant. The cake was so delicious and turned out exactly the way we wanted it. The pricing was almost half of what other places were quoting us too.
Charles Street Bakery is located in the quaint little town of La Plata, MD. It's one of those places where you feel at home as soon as you walk in the door. Our experience with CSB was outstanding. During our cake consultation, I couldn't find any pictures of any cakes that I liked so the young woman we were working with offered to sketch ideas for me. We put our suggestions together and came up with a beautiful cake, even on paper! The cake itself is moist, it has a very "homemade" quality about it. So many other cakes we tasted were more like box cakes. The icing is fantastic, not too buttery or too oily. Our cake was vanilla cake, buttercream and raspberry sauce (2 layers) and chocolate cake with chocolate ganache (1 layer). We received so many compliments on the cake and design, and could not have been happier! I highly recommend this bakery!!!
