Real rollercoaster of a time, hoping things improve under their new management staff. The cake tasting session was incredible, they have so many flavors and all of them are absolut...
ely fantastic. They were also able to accommodate vegan options which was a huge selling point, especially because they tasted just as good. Unfortunately, we had to change our order twice based on incorrect information (once for cake size, once for cake flavors). Trying to get things in writing was difficult and required explicit demands by both email and over the phone. When we changed to a smaller order due to lower-than-expected guest turnout, the process took nearly a month and was quite complex. Our point of contact was changed by the bakery partway through the ordering in a bid to improve service, so we were likely not the only customers with problems. One egregious example was having a cake flavor we were promised could be made vegan in February changed by the chef days before the September wedding, as it wasn’t possible to make that flavor vegan after all. We solved it and the cake arrived on time looking fantastic. Being able to print any design on the top of the cake is a real perk, and the method of doing this doesn’t add any additional flavor or much extra sweetness, very impressive. Unfortunately, the pieces we were sent home with had both a hair and a piece of foil baked into them, which I hope none of the guests had as well.
We started the process of ordering our wedding cake probably way too early, but despite the loooong stretch of time between having our tasting/placing the order and the actual wedd...
ing day, everything was perfect! Areen helped us figure out the finer points like how to decorate it, etc once we selected our cake type, and his suggestions were spot-on. We way over-ordered as we had a bunch of guests have to drop out at the last minute due to a bunch of COVID scares, and Classic Bakery was responsive and flexible in adjusting the number of servings to accommodate the new guest count (and refunded the difference in price!). And our cake was delicious!

Most delicious wedding cake I’ve ever had! We went with the lemon raspberry filling and everyone loved the cake. I needed gluten free and they were able to accommodate. I brought i...

Ordered my wedding cake from Classic Bakery. The cake was delicious and the delivery was on time. We decided to alternate the tiers with their lemon raspberry and red velvet. Defin...
itely recommend!
They were so nice and friendly during our tasting, and all of our guests loved our mango-flavored vegan cake!
The cake arrived on time it looked great. They work with you if you have a expensive vision for a cake they can make it out of Styrofoam but give you a flat sheet of cake that you...
can hide in the back your guest we’ll never know the difference. You have to go in and talk to the experts. You don’t know cake into you take a bite of what they have to offer I’m glad I looked around before settling.
They were so helpful and easy to communicate with making a groom's cake. They will work within your budget. I went to three different cake tastings. They by far had the best presen...
tation. They let me borrow a rotating cake stand with a fee. I had to make sure to return it back to them. The previous couple did not return rotate cake stand, which I became nervous as this was two days before my wedding. They reassure me that the rotate cake stand would be there. They were right and I was beyond happy to have them as apart of my special day. You won't go wrong to hire them for your special day.
Delivery was on time. The cake however didn’t taste the same as the day we had our tasting. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t what we expected. Still a good bakery.
Classic Bakery made us three gorgeous, delicious 12" cakes for our wedding: chocolate salted caramel, chocolate raspberry, and red velvet with cream cheese. They were light, fluffy...
, moist, intensely flavored, and adored by all our guests, easily feeding all 100 of them. By ordering 3 individual cakes, we got a variety of flavors and decorations and paid about 50% of the price that we would have spent had we ordered a full wedding cake.
One caveat: communicating with the staff was a challenge initially. They did not have our tasting order ready when we arrived to pick it up, and they were difficult to reach via email or phone trying to set up the order. However, once they moved to their new location, it appears they changed staff, and this new staff was very responsive and easy to work with.
Be careful with vendor reliability. Scheduled a tasting through their website and received a confirmation of time and place. We drove a half hour from Alexandria, only to arrive ...
and be told there was a mistake and our samples were in Gaithersburg. Wasted an entire afternoon. Would not trust for wedding.
The best wedding cake ever! Everyone thought the cake was to die for. We had two flavors, vanilla on vanilla but the very best was chocolate cake and peanut butter icing! Everyone ...
was surprised and loved it. Could not have been happier. We also used them for our Persian cookies. All of their desserts are amazing. We will continue coming back. They were a pleasure to work with.
Omg, where do I began?!! Areen is the man who baked our wedding cake. Prior to booking with Classic Bakery, we went for a cake tasting and ended up buying their tiramisu bites. The...
y were sooo good, each time we met with Areem, we bought cake lol, at some point he stopped charging us!!! He was very nice, very good at responding e-mails and worked with me even though I was soooo indecisive!I must've sent him 100 different cake designs hahaha!! He is amazing, but the wedding cake was out of this world!!!! We got so many compliments!!! I could not believe how beautiful it looked. Areen did a great job bringing my vision to life and incorporating his ideas with mine. He is the best and the cake tastes like heaven.
If you are in the wedding planning stage, pleas make sure you check out Classic Bakery!! . Even the cakes at wedding Expos weren't that good. We are sooooo glad we found this bakery. Its simply THE BEST BAKERY IN THE DMV AREA!!!!
Thank you Areen and the whole Classic Bakery staff!!! You gus are amazing!!!! :) xoxo
Our Wedding Cake was not only stunning and classy looking...but it was most of all delicious!!!! All of our guests loved it too. Our guests talk about that cake still :) You defin...

Love, The Kehyaians!
I apologize for not writing a review sooner about the wonderful, and most beautiful cupcake wedding cake Classic Bakery made for our son and now his lovely wife's wedding day. The ...
cake was the centerpiece at the Sequoia Restaurant where the wedding reception took place. The artful and elaborate yet refine set up of the jeweled stand where the 200 cupcakes layed was perfection. All the guests including the bride and groom were in awe of it and no one wanted to take a cupcake in fear of ruining the wedding cake's glory. However everyone did at the end of the evening and those velvety cupcakes were delicious!
Wedding: 05/25/2014
We used this bakery for our June 2014 wedding in Alexandria, VA. We had three tiered chocolate cake with peanut butter filling. The cake was delicious and it looked great. It was e...
verything I wanted.
If you are looking for a cake that is not only beautiful but tastes amazing then this is the place. My friends still talk about how amazing me cake was. This bakery is family owned...
and when you meet with the wedding cake consultant they make you feel welcome and at home. They helped me design exactly what I wanted. After meeting with a lot of crazy wedding vendors that treated me like a dollar sign instead of a person it was so nice to have someone sit down and spend time with me. The really listened to what I wanted and helped me make my wedding cake dreams come true. They do one on one cake tastings and help you pick you flavors. AMAZING customer service and I couldn't be happier with my cake!
The consultant impressed me with our consultation. We had a ribbon boarder on each tier and he measured how much we would need and converted it into yards to make it easier when I ...
went to the store. The delivery arrived on time however my photographer had to stop my photo shoot to direct the men to the reception hall. They dropped off the cake and left. I later learned that they forgot the cake toppers, which they made me leave with them when we placed the order. My father in law had to call them to come back with the toppers. Thanks to him, I missed all the drama, but a bit sloppy on their part. The cake looked and tasted great and they promise a fresh cake on your anniversary so you don't have to freeze the top.
My husband and I were married this past June 16th and we ordered our cake from Classic Bakery. I had two other tastings before I choose Classic bakery. I fell in love with their de...
signs as well as the taste. I had one issue with my cake the day of the wedding. My cake was not designed the way I had discussed with classic bakery, but it was still beautiful and delicious. I never contacted the company to let them know the problem only because I had to deal with a different and much bigger issue that had occurred the day of my wedding. Complaining just seemed ridiculous since the cake ended up being amazing in the end. Although I was a little disappointed, I would still recommend them to others. I believe mistakes happen, but they were still very good.
Our cake from this bakery was great. Somehow it's really hard to find a wedding cake that's not just looks good, but also one that tastes good. I am very happy I found Classic Bake...
ry. Our wedding cake was beautiful and delicious!
Incredibly gorgeous and delicious cake
Since we got married in November and our wedding venue had a rustic feel, Steve and I chose to have various types of pie as our dessert, rather than wedding cake. The pies from Cla...
ssic Bakery were excellent!! We chose to have apple, blueberry, and cherry (especially since they were a bit more affordable than other types including pumpkin). Areen was particularly helpful in helping me select types and place the order.
One thing to note: when I originally called Classic Bakery for information about their pies, they quoted me one price. Unfortunately, when I called back a few months later to actually place the order, they quoted me a higher price. It was still affordable, but I just wanted to note that.
Overall, I would highly recommend their pies, also just the idea of having pie instead of wedding cake. Our guests really enjoyed it!!
I first time I met Classic Bakery, was at the Washington DC Bridal Expo. They cake we tasted, was literally the most delicious cake I had every had! I immediately had my heart se...
t :)
We went and met with the bakery in person and the owner assured us that they could make the cake that I had brought in out of a magazine. They cake was a Collette Peters cake, with one topsy turvy layer.
When I saw the cake at my reception I almost cried. It was exactly what I had dreamed of.
The only problem was, throughout the night the top layer completely fell off and crashed to the floor. I do not know if this is a guests fault who may have bumped the table, or if this was something that could have been avoided when building the cake.
Either way the cake was delicious and beautiful!
I love this bakery. they are sooooo nice, price is resonable, and the cake was mosit, beautiful and sooo yummy. i loved it they got our design down to a T.
This was the top rated bakery in the area. Very helpful, great service, and yummy cake. No complaints!
Classic Bakery provided a beautiful centerpiece in the cake and it was absolutely delicious. The value was incredible for the amazing quality of the cake. We appreciate the persona...
l, yet professional service. An added touch, is that Classic Bakery will give you a brand new cake on your anniversary. No need to save the top layer. They want to maintain the quality by giving you a new cake--very nice! We would highly recommend them to any couple.
I went in to order a wedding cake and they were not helpful at all. The lady in the front of the store just threw a binder at me to chose and said that if I wanted to try the cakes...
I would have to pay. Incredibly rude!!!

was gorgeous and tasting amazing! The buttercream filling is so delish! Pricing was very reasonable. I would recommend Classic Bakery to anyone.

on our cake. I gave them a picture of what I wanted and was a bit worried initially as it was not an easy cake to make or replicate. However, I was completely taken away when I saw the final masterpiece on our wedding day. It was gorgeous and even more beautiful then I ever imagined. Thanks again Classic Bakery, we'll definitely be back!
Classic Bakery was very excited about the idea we proposed for our cake. As architects, my husband and I wanted this to reflect in our cake, but not over the top/hit you in the fa...
ce kind of way. We designed a series of buildings that would go around 1 layer of the cake while the other layers were simply adorned with royal blue ribbon. Classic Bakery was very enthusiastic about being able to do our cake. It turned out wonderfully and we got a ton of compliments about the idea. The flavor of the cake was also kept secret until the day of. At the tasting, we immediately fell in love with the marble cake with hazelnut filling. It was absolutely amazing. Although service is often slow in the shop, we were very happy with our overall experience with Classic Bakery. In 1 year time, they will even provide you with fresh cake, rather than having to eat year-old frozen cake. Looking forward to it!
Amazing selection, very light and delicate baking. THey made a cherry blossom cake design for me to complement my whole wedding theme.
We are very happy about one perk - they bake...
