Fancy Cakes By Leslie

s it was one the best they've had at a wedding! 10/10 recommend :)

ake was beautiful (flowers supplied by florist) and the groom’s cake stole the show (Star Wars since we got married May 4th).

s vision to our baker, she immediately asked us, "And what species of bowerbird do you want?" There was no question that this was the place for us! The cake turned out even better than we could ever have imagined it. The artwork was cute, stunning, and scientifically accurate down to the last feather. And the best part... the cake was DELICIOUS. The cake sized for 75 fed all of our guests with ample leftovers. We were giving away cake to the neighbors and happily eating it for two weeks afterward without getting tired of it. We still have the bowerbirds in our freezer, where they will live for as long as they last, since I couldn't bear to part with such a lovely work of art. Leslie's Fancy Cakes was fun, easy to work with, punctual and tasty. We give our highest recommendation!

have each layer of the cake be a different flavor (lemon, vanilla raspberry, carrot cake, and red velvet) and they all turned out equally delicious and all of our guests absolutely loved the cake! I would HIGHLY recommend using Fancy Cakes by Leslie - she truly does an amazing amazing job!

The cake turned out exactly as we discussed at our tasting and our guests raved about the flavor!

m were perfect. The best part is that they were able to create frosting figurines of our pets just from a photo we shared. The looked just like our fur babies and we got lots of compliments. Not only did it look beautiful, but the cake was so yummy! We did the swiss buttercream, almond, and lemon. Order more than you think, because the slices will go fast! I'm glad our catering manager stashed away a couple slices for my husband and I to enjoy as a midnight snack!

we wanted our cake to be. They provided a free tasting and we purchased some cupcakes to take home to have our extended family test out. For our wedding we selected three different tiers and a separate gluten free small cake, which all were delicious. The color of the buttercream frosting was slightly different than I expected but it looked beautiful. They offer a complimentary 1st anniversary cake, which we can't wait to try in a year! My mother also booked a fondant-covered cake to match a Scrabble board through Fancy Cakes by Leslie for my bridal shower which looked great and was done during a power outage from major storms. Leslie did them at her own house and brought them to the dark storefront for my mom to pick up without any worry that it would be completed for the shower.

for doing so was very reasonable. The cake they delivered to the wedding was really beautiful, exactly what we had asked for, and it was really delicious. We received many compliments on our cake, and we would highly recommend this bakery!

idn't catch them on a bad day. So obviously I am a cake snob and I was on the hunt for a moist and flavorful cake, plus a light and fluffy icing that wasn't too sugary, and a great design. Most of the bakeries we tried the cake was too dry and/or lacking flavor, or the icing was too sugary or tasted articifical. We luckily found the perfect combination of a moist and flavorful almond cake at Fancy Cakes with a light italian meringue icing. We choose a caramel filling and it all tasted amazing at the tasting. I was disappointed on the wedding day that the caramel was soaked up into the cake so it wasn't as prevalent -- I wish I had known this was a risk, but it still tasted great. I took a gamble on their design -- a lot of their featured cakes looked cartoony, and we wanted a mix of modern, traditional and artistic. Mary was great and she definitely delivered. We got married in an industrial art gallery and our cake was so elegant and modern and fit in perfectly with our theme. They should add that picture to their gallery because it's a great representation of what they can pull off. Pricing was reasonable and affordable and we were so happy with the result. I am so excited to go back on our one-year anniversary for a complimentary freshly baked top tier!

e kind of similar but not really, explained that I'd like a little design from here, a little design from there....and was so pleasantly surprised that when I finally saw our cake, as it was exactly what I envisioned. Like, exactly. !!! Our cake was beautiful and so delicious -- everyone raved and I'm really looking forward to having occasion to order another one of Leslie's amazing creations. Highly recommend if you are looking for a super tasty cake and a super easy process!

ect. Could not be more pleased with the cake. Leslie was also friendly, professional, and pleasant to work with when designing our dream cake. I would highly recommend FCBL to everyone!

ced!

la, and I would recommend Leslie and her company for any wedding! Thanks Leslie!!!

in mind, and she created exactly what we wanted. It was beautiful, and so delicious. My maid of honor even loved it, and she doesn't like sweets at all. Her prices are fantastic as well, so you really can't go wrong!

ny of her cakes. We love going by her shop in Bethesda for special treats :)

and that was it until the cake showed up on our wedding day. When I saw it it blew me away. It was better then what I imagined it would e, absolutely beautiful! She did an absolutely amazing job with it and we got rave reviews from everyone on how good it tasted too! I can't say enough good things about Leslie and her abilities to make a cake that not only tastes incredible but looks absolutely beautiful!

flavors she offers are amazing and she can mix and match flavors in the different layers. We went with a white velvet cake - red velvet without the red dye. I showed her pictures of what we were planning with the other pastry chef and not only did she match the look, the final product was prettier than I could imagine. And the taste was amazing. Everyone loved it. I highly recommend using Leslie and I cannot wait to have another occasion to order one of her cakes.

g helpful to guide us to the right design for us. It truly helped, as we didn't know what we wanted when we walked in. In all, we were very pleased with our experience and would fully recommend Fancy Cakes by Leslie. The only two other points I would make is that they are a little pricey, but that's also the area and the business. They didn't seem too far out of line with others we visited. The day before the wedding, I received a call from them, asking me what color the buttercream and decorations were and where the decoration should be placed. This did make me nervous, as it was all decided during the consultation, they and I each had a sketch of the cake with colors marked, and it was confirmed with the final order. However, it all worked out and looked exactly as envisioned. Maybe that's just normal practice to call to confirm?

ngs rather quickly. I contacted Leslie's Fancy Cakes for my July 6, 2014 wedding two weeks prior to the event, and not only were they were able to accommodate us on such short notice, but they created the cake of my dreams exactly the way I had requested!! Leslie also created incredible vegan/gluten free cupcakes for our vegan/gluten free family members. Everyone who tried them raved about how delicious they were (even the non-vegans!!). I would highly recommend using Leslie's Fancy Cakes for your wedding. You will NOT be disappointed!!!

needed for our cake really took away from the taste. It was great in the store but on the actual cake, really not the same.
