Fluffy Thoughts Bakery was a dream to work with! Their flavors were absolutely incredible. We chose their Biscoff-flavored spice cake and a chocolate cake with coffee and caramel flavors—both were crowd-pleasers.
But what truly stood out was the design. We wanted individual cakes to fill out our dessert table for 80 guests, with each cake featuring a unique look, and they delivered beyond our expectations. Our main two-tier cake incorporated a custom design inspired by Fantastic Mr. Fox, including the stars on the apples, and it was stunning. For the two smaller cakes, they added beautiful fondant acorns and leaves cascading down, which tied everything together perfectly.
The cakes were not only delicious but also visually breathtaking, enhancing every photo and delighting our guests. Fluffy Thoughts Bakery made our dessert table unforgettable, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a show-stopping centerpiece for their event.
We had a pre-wedding celebration and Fluffy Thoughts provided the sweet treats. The cupcakes were perfect for the casual event. The Apple Orchid was the biggest hit! The other delicious flavors were strawberry shortcake, vanilla, and chocolate. Service was excellent and they were so nice to work with. This is a perfect business for sweet treats.
We loved working with Fluffy Thoughts for our September 2024 wedding. Lara was so easy to work with and took the time to talk to us about what we were looking for in a wedding cake and helped us determine an appropriate size to feed our large guest count. We also got some mini desserts - macarons, lemon bars, mini key lime pies, and brownies that were immediately gobbled up. Our cake flavors were cherry bomb, my passion, and candy bar crunch - all of which were delicious!
Fluffy Thoughts was spectacular with our wedding cake. From start to finish, they were really easy to work with and communicated clearly and quickly! Fluffy Thoughts was the first and only bakery we taste tested - we had so fun much with that part! We ordered two of each slice we were interested in and took it to our friends’ gathering for all to taste test! We landed on the chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream and it was as beautiful as it was delicious - everyone raved about it! We worked closely with Lara on our cake details and wow we were stunned. Thank you, Fluffy Thoughts!
We used Fluffy Thoughts Cakes for our wedding cake. We had a fun time trying a variety of their cakes and decided to get two types for our wedding - one of their specialty cakes and a simpler one. We did those in sheet cake format for our guests and we got a small display cake for us. They dropped everything off at our venue in a timely fashion and the display cake looked great - just how we designed it with the owner! We enjoyed the cake greatly, as did our guests! The pricing was also very reasonable.
Fluffy Thoughts did a marvelous job with my wedding cake! Their cakes are all high quality, truly standing out from the (many) other vendors we taste tested. They are very flexible and accommodating, and were able to work around my groom’s food allergy expertly with a custom cake. They were very collaborative with me, an amateur cake decorator who wanted a role in the design and execution. We were so pleased with the product!
My cake was delicious! Out of the several places we tried they had the best tasting cake. It came out exactly as we wanted. I would recommend ordering more than you imagine because we would have loved to have leftovers and with a two tier cake(saving the top tier for next year) the bottom tier was not enough for 20 people.
The cake we got from Fluffy Thoughts (Pistachio) was actually the MOST delicious part of our wedding day - and perhaps the best cake I've ever had. They were so easy to work with to design the exact layers and flavors, as well as doing a tasting-pickup from their studio was super easy and fun. We also had 4 slices packed up to have in our hotel after the wedding which was the highlight of the morning after our wedding. Don't hesitate to book!
We got our wedding cake from Fluffy Thoughts and it was perfect! We received exactly what we wanted, a 3 tiered confetti cake with plan, smooth, buttercream frosting, and red velvet and chocolate sheet cakes. All of the flavors were delicious. They delivered the cake on time and I had my florist put live flowers on the tiered cake while she was decorating. Fluffy Thoughts' prices were also comparable if not slightly cheaper than the other bakeries in the area. While deciding on a bakery and planning the wedding they were always very responsive by phone and email. We received a tasting box of cakes which made it easy to choose flavors. Everything about working with Fluffy Thoughts was professional and just what you want when getting a cake for your wedding!
We had a good experience with Fluffy thoughts.
The selection of flavors is what makes them one of the top players in the DC area. We had 3 flavors for our 4 tier cake.
During the design process, I decided to only get a plain cake with a dusty rose color for the base. My mother who is a wedding cake baker would add specially made sugar flowers from Sri Lanka that were being flown here. Unfortunately, the cake came in with cracks in the bottom of all 4 layers (I've attached one pic with black markers to show the cracks - ignore the top part where my mom was starting to place the flowers and I asked her to remove them so I could take pics first). I believe those cracks to be part of traveling the bumpy roads here - but my expectation is once it is delivered that there is someone to cross check and make sure these issues were smoothed out - literally.
Thankfully my mom was already there with her tools to smooth out all layers.
The cake itself - was AMAZING.
So happy with our wedding cake! Not only do they have such fun / unique flavors (we went with Cookie Monster and Candy Bar Crunch) that everyone enjoyed, but they worked with us to draft different design choices and prices! Amazing team!
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious our Coffee in the Morning cake was! Fluffy Thoughts was super friendly and responsive throughout the process. We couldn’t have asked for a better cake!
Our cake was delicious (we did the passionfruit, coffee, strawberry, and red velvet flavors). Additionally, it looked beautiful and the bakery was super easy to work with. Wouldn't have changed a thing!
Fluffy Thoughts went above and beyond to make a delicious, beautiful, playful cake for our wedding! They were so creative with the design and were extremely easy to work with. We did a 4 tier cake with stenciling, a sugar flower cascade, and a fun topper (handmade from sugar- a bride and groom and baby bear). The sugar flowers were absolutely exquisite! They looked like real flowers and they matched our actual florals almost exactly. The flavor was carrot cake with buttercream frosting. People went nuts over it (pun intended)! Some of the best wedding cake I’ve ever had. We just had to let people know there were nuts for those with allergies. We thought it was delicious and enjoyed all the leftover cake too! We highly recommend them!
The cake was incredible and absolutely beautiful. Like incredibly beautiful, my absolute dream cake. It was SO GOOD. We got the flavor with lemon and raspberry which was perfect for a summer wedding. It was hard picking a flavor though because they were all so good.
However, getting to the cake was a little rough. The people answering emails seemed less than informed about cost, pricing, etc. I was quoted a price that was hundreds of dollars different than what it ended up, including a wrong delivery fee price. Luckily, the owner, Lara, did come down a bit on the price because of it and honored the original quoted delivery fee- which was excellent and I appreciated.
I would have preferred not doing everything via text and keeping it to email, that's personal preference.
If you want a gorgeous, show stopper and delish cake- go with Fluffy thoughts! If you don't really care about your cake, I might go elsewhere. The cake was important to me and they delivered.
Delicious cake and very easy vendor to work with! We changed our cake design twice and they were easily able to accommodate. Our flavor was lemon tart and it was delicious!
I must have tried a dozen different bakeries before I found something I liked. Our white cake with cream cheese, raspberry jam, and lemon curd layers was so delicious—guests devoured it. Fluffy Thoughts was amazing and so easy to work with. The owner was very flexible on finalizing details for our wedding cake. too, which is such a relief when you're juggling so many different vendors. Couldn't be happier with our experience.
Their strawberry lemonade cake was a huge hit with my guests. So delicious and it looks gorgeous!
Fluffy Thoughts was part of our venue's contract and I am so glad they were. During our consultation call with Lara she came up with a sketch the cake we were describing and nailed it. This was probably the least stressful part of the planning cause it took one phone call and we were pretty much all set! Cake was delivered on time and looked amazing. BONUS - everyone actually ate and enjoyed the cake!!! Most wedding cakes are dry and tasteless, but Everyone commented how they actually loved the cake!
If someone had asked me prior to today if I recommended Fluffy Thoughts, I would have said yes in a heartbeat as they did our wedding and grooms cake, birthday and holiday cakes, and holiday pies over several years. After today - absolutely not! Previous loyalty means nothing. They have zero customer service now and will not give you the time of day at the slightest miscommunication. In my case regarding a simple cake order, their emails were going to my spam and I asked for a call back instead. When I did not receive it, I called the next day and instead of apologizing for a simple miscommunication and offering call back times, they doubled down with an attitude; were extremely condescending and said we were rude because we expressed frustration at the lack of a call back; made it seem like a favor that they even bothered to speak with me; and then hung up and ignored my calls! Hanging up because you don't want to deal with a customer's issue is the definition of rude! This is how a long time customer that gave 6+ years, referrals, and several thousands of dollars of business gets treated. This is absolutely not the way to run a business regardless of how busy you may be.
We did our initial taste test with Fluffy thoughts in August 2021 and let them know our wedding was not until October 2022. They scheduled our tasting for pick up and asked that we reach back out when we are ready to speak to the owner to finalize our design. I followed up with an email indicating that I was ready to speak about the design and someone responded to my email asking me to text the owner. It took several weeks of coordination and phone tag to finally set up our meeting. When it came time to meet with the owner she never called, I had to call her. When I finally spoke to her she was not familiar with my wedding or any of the details (photos, wedding colors, quantity) that I had previously sent to their customer service email. She said she would follow up after our call with a contract and the dimensions I needed for the cake stand. She did not follow up so I sent another email. I never received a response so I sent two additional emails and I followed up with a phone call. The lady who answered the phone was impatient and told me my wedding was not until October and that the owner would follow up. They had also previously told me that 3/6 spots available for on my wedding date were already filled. I have lost all confidence that a contract will be coming and now need to find another vendor.
We agonized for weeks over our cake vendor for our wedding as many options were either closed because of COVID or way overpriced. We wanted something unique but not overstated and Fluffy Thoughts went above and beyond our expectations. Their flavors were delicious and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend them!
We LOVED our cake! They were able to take our original design inspiration and make it even better! Super flexible to work with and made the cake one of the highlights of the reception! such delicious flavors!!
Caterer recommended Fluffy Thoughts. Our daughter wanted a simple, elegant cake for her wedding. Had to postpone wedding for a year and a half because of the pandemic, but it finally happened on November 6, 2021. So much time elapsed between tasting in March 2020 and the wedding in 2021 that my daughter almost forgot what she selected. The cake was just what we wanted. Guests raved about the cake and how yummy it was, which is not usually the case with typical wedding cakes. Thank you so much for this lovely and delicious cake.
Fluffy Thoughts made such a delicious cake for our wedding! They also provided macarons and wedding cookies for our dessert bar! Guests loved all of the delicious treats and we can't wait to get our 1 year anniversary cake to relive the deliciousness from that day!
Fluffy Thoughts did an excellent job on our wedding cake and cupcakes! Our guests raved about the cupcakes, and Fluffy Thoughts worked with us to ensure that the cake was exactly the design we wanted. I will definitely be using them for all of my future baking needs!
Fluffy Thoughts is the best! Our cake was delicious and we received so many compliments on it. We got a two tiered cake for cutting and served sheet cakes. Both cakes tasted amazing and everyone loved it. I would highly recommend Fluffy Thoughts for any cakes!
Fluffy Thought's cakes are not just stunning but they are absolutely delicious! We decided on two flavors (which was quite difficult to do) and knew we had to order almost double our guest count because everyone would want seconds! We know have a go to cake shop for all special occasions!
The team at Fluffy Thoughts was amazing to work with! They took our vision for our cake and made it a reality. When COVID restricted our guest count, they still came through for us and gave us a scaled down, spectacular piece of art. They even did a small, dairy free cake so my mom could enjoy it with us.
The team at Fluffy thoughts is wonderful. Our entire experience from initial emails, tasting, and the final product was seamless. We had to reschedule our wedding three times and the team didn't miss a beat. Our guests raved about our flavors. My husband and I can't wait until our first anniversary to have more cake :)
The cake flavors offered are AMAZING! I do believe creativity is unmatched and anything you desire, is likely achievable. However, they can be slow to return communication. Final outcome of the cake was beautiful (just as we had drawn in mock up)!
We were really happy with both the taste and look of our wedding cake! So many guests told us they enjoyed it too. The staff is friendly and was responsive to our questions and adjustments. This bakery was recommended by our venue and we're glad we took the recommendation!
Everyone loves cake, but finding the right cake for your wedding can seem like an endless chore. That’s not the case at Fluffy Thoughts! Lara and Ronan made the process of picking out the designs and flavors for our two cakes absolutely painless. The cakes themselves were beautiful and delicious and a real highlight of our evening. The folks at Fluffy Thoughts will put a lot of work in to make sure you get exactly the cake you want, and you’ll be thrilled by the results. We can’t recommend them more highly.
Fluffy Thoughts is the best!
We had such a great experience working with Lara and her team at Fluffy Thoughts. The tasting was definitely a highlight of our wedding planning experience (so much fun!), and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. The cake was gorgeous, and we got rave reviews from guests about how great it tasted. Also great that we were able to incorporate three different flavors so we had variety!
My husband and I came to Fluffy Thoughts hoping for something delicious, and man did they deliver! Our caterer provided dessert to guests (already included in the price of each plate) and we were on a budget so we couldn't afford to give everyone dessert and cake. They were able to work with us so that we got the cake of our dreams. After choosing the flavor - which was super hard since they are all really tasty - we showed them a picture of a cake design we liked online. They worked with us to recreate it when other bakers would not. Since we couldn't feed cake to all the 100+ wedding guests, they were able to recreate most of our cake out of foam and covered it in fondant. The parts that were cake were beyond delicious. We were even able to bring home the top tier! The final product looked exactly as it did in the online picture. The whole team at Fluffy Thoughts was great to work with - communicative, professional, and really collaborative.
Our wedding cake was AMAZING!! I knew from the taste test that we had made the right choice. The design I picked out looked stunning and the cake was fresh and delicious. I got endless compliments on the cake and actually plan to order a small one in a few months to enjoy with my husband again!
Our cake was gorgeous and tasted AMAZING! We also ordered a bunch of cupcakes that were literally gone in minutes because our wedding guests loved them so much! Fluffy Thoughts was our easiest vendor to work with and we are grateful!
After trying a few bakeries in the area, we chose Fluffy Thoughts for our wedding cake. Our tasting was delicious and the cake artist sketched up a beautiful design that we ended up using exactly for our wedding day. When we made a request to add extra jam to the cake layer, they incorporated it. The cake was absolutely delicious on our wedding day. I definitely caught my nephew sneaking one piece of each flavor and eating both. It was all he could talk about for an hour.
our cake was delicious and beautiful. Our guests loved it, and thats all we could really ask for. I always heard that no one eats the cake, but we actually had none left over which was a great sign!
We used Fluffy Thoughts to create cookie favors for our wedding and working with them was a dream! From first consultation to delivery Lara and team were so responsive and easy to work with. Compared with other options, Fluffy Thoughts was also very reasonably priced. We loved the cookies and our guests couldn't stop raving about them (both the cuteness and the taste)!
We hope to use Fluffy Thoughts again for future cute cookie/cake needs!
Tasted great! Guests loved the flavors and look of the cake and cupcakes. Tasting was yummy and the cake and cupcakes were just as good the day of. I would recommend and buy more cakes from them in the future.
Lara at Fluffy Thoughts is an incredibly talented artist. Her designs are truly a work of art. We were beyond thrilled with our wedding cake from Fluffy Thoughts.
When meeting with Lara, we showed her a few photos of what we imagined, and talked through a design. On the spot, she drew a couple of samples. She immediately took what I pictured and put it on paper. At the tasting, we got huge portions of cake to sample. My parents and sister came with us, and we all got more than enough – we could barely even finish the samples! They definitely did not skimp on the tasting.
The actual cake came out looking exactly how she drew it at our meeting and how I imagined! I also asked her to include a fancy, gold “R” initial on the cake, last minute, with no other direction. It came out absolutely gorgeous! We got so many compliments on not only how beautiful the cake was, but on the taste as well. I have been to so many weddings where the cake was just okay, and got left uneaten. Our guests ate it up! We chose a white cake with layers of raspberry and chocolate ganache. It was to die for!
The other amazing thing about Fluffy Thoughts, is that they will give you a small top tier of your wedding cake, at no cost, on your one year anniversary, so you don’t have to worry about saving the top tier from the wedding. Your guests will thank you for this, as there is more to go around. If you live in the NOVA/D.C./MD area, don’t bother looking elsewhere for a wedding cake, because you will be disappointed. Fluffy Thoughts is the best! I can’t wait for another event, so we can order another cake from them! My family is excited to have a new bakery to go to for all of our dessert needs.
It is hard to know where to begin! We used fluffy thoughts cakes for our wedding cake and grooms cake, and they were both the two most beautiful and delicious cakes of all time (and I don’t even think I am biased!)
When we scheduled a tasting, Lara helped us design our wedding cake. We showed her some things we liked, and she got out a piece of paper and drew a cake based on the tidbits we had put together from a variety of different cakes. She turned it around, and immediately we just said “yes, that’s it!” She listened to what we were looking for, and made it unique to us, even as a traditional cake. The real thing was even more beautiful, with unbelievable sugar flowers that had guests stunned that they were even humanly possible to make of sugar.
Now to the grooms cake. I had this crazy idea- I wanted my now husband to be surfing, but also playing golf. I wanted to have our four pets incorporated. In my head, I didn’t even think this cake was possible, but hoped they could pull from my crazy and make something that would wow him. I can’t even tell you how much they blew our minds with this cake. They created a masterpiece of Chris riding a wave on a surfboard, while swinging a golf club, with a cat on the back of the surfboard with him, two dogs in the water, and another cat on the beach. It was INCREDIBLE. They used pictures of each pet to make their little figurines really look like them. It is hard to say whether the wedding cake or grooms cake was a bigger hit at our wedding – we were blown away by both. Every idea we had was 10X better with their expertise. Fluffy thoughts was amazing to work with, their cakes are delicious, they have unique flavors, and unmatched skill. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Stay away! The cake arrived late with no communication. This wouldn't have upset me if it wasn't for the bigger problem... which is that it was ALL WRONG! I had provided an image and asked them if they could make the cake exactly. They said yes. I have seen cakes like mine on Fluffy Thoughts instagram so unless they're lying about their skills, I have no idea how this turned into such a disaster.
I was EMBARRASSED by my cake. It looked terrible. I didn't want any pictures taken of it and won't let it into my wedding album.
I understand that for Fluffy Thoughts my wedding was just another day... but for me, it was everything. Future brides: trust me, stay away!
Fluffy Thoughts made a beautiful and delicious cake for our wedding! We also did a dessert buffet with them that people are still raving about. We are already looking forward to our anniversary cake 😊 I would definitely recommend!
We used Fluffy Thoughts for our wedding cake, and right from the beginning, we were thrilled with the experience! We had a personalized consultation where the baker sat down with us to discuss our vision for the wedding, we looked at pictures of previous wedding cakes they had done, and then she started sketching our dream cake right in front of us! Then when it came time to test, my God, the cake was DELICIOUS! Moist and flavorful down to the last bite! We ended up choosing a different combination than what was originally put in front of us, and they were completely okay with that! On the day of, the cake was beautiful! Exactly as we imagined it! We did have sheet cakes to supplement our cake because of the size of our wedding and some guests did say that the sheet cake tasted a little different than the cake on display during the reception, but nothing negative, just different! We LOVED our piece and were thrilled with the outcome! AND we get a small version on our one year anniversary! :) Loved Fluffy Thoughts!
From the moment we walked in for our tasting to the day of my daughters and son-In-laws wedding I knew we had chosen the right place to make their wedding cake! The tasting was amazing and we loved every bite but the Italian Wedding cream frosting is to die for. My husband could not make the tasting and Lara was kind enough to send us home with a tasting for him! When I called back Sunday to be able to send a tasting to Andrews parents in NC - again they took care of us! Lara (the owner) Designed our cake with a hand sketch right in front of us and the beginning of our dream wedding cake started! We chose a four tier cake and three flavors - vanilla vanilla, cookie dough and cookies and cream! They were unbelievable and the cake was so moist! Everyone loved it and we enjoyed leftovers for days after. When I saw the cake at Shadow Creek I was in awe and amazed! It was stunning. Thank you Lara and Fluffy Thoughts for making the best wedding cake possible!
Lara was so easy to work with! She understood the design we were going for for our wedding cake and worked with us on recommendations that would fit our budget. It came out beautifully and tasted even better!
I took a relatively rough idea of what I wanted in a wedding cake and gave it to Fluffy Thoughts, and they executed my vision PERFECTLY! On top of that, I had dozens of wedding guests tell me that it was the best wedding cake that they'd ever tasted, and they especially loved that I got a Funfetti flavor! It was unique and fun, and made our wedding all the more special!
Fluffy Thoughts was one of our options for cake through our venue at the Westin Georgetown. We ordered a three tier wedding cake -- two of the cookie dough and one of the candy bar crunch -- and it was absolutely delicious. It was also very pretty, with simple buttercream piping and silk flowers we had given them to add. I am knocking off one star because communication was a little difficult sometimes (I had called or emailed a few times and not gotten a response), but on the day of, the cake was delivered on time and everything went off perfectly. I would definitely recommend them.
Thank you so much! This was the best cake we and our guests had ever seen - DELICIOUS AND GORGEOUS! We wanted something a little different and did Fluffy thoughts deliver! People were circling it for hours before the cake cutting wondering if it was real and then devoured every slice! The staff was also amazing and Laura was super kind and responsive to us! She prepared some gluten free cupcakes for our guests with a gluten allergy and an amazing bday cake for a guest as well. We could not be happier!!
From the tasting to the actual wedding day the service was amazing. Even a month after our wedding day, my husband and i still talk about how great the cake was and how we now wish we would have ordered the anniversary cake.
Our cake was the second most important thing for us (after saying I do!) and Fluffy Thoughts gave us exactly what we wanted and tasted AMAZING. We had gone to one other bakery for a tasting before coming here, and it was night and day. Fluffy Thoughts cakes are just the right amount of sweet, super light, and very creative with the flavors and fillings. We are also huge fans of buttercream and they nailed it. We had a very simple white cake with a simple design, and it was PERFECT. I have already recommended them to friends for their wedding, birthday, you name it. We even got a small cake a few months before our wedding because we just couldn't wait to eat the wedding cake. :)
I am not a cake person, but the pumpkin spice cake they made for our wedding was amazing! Easy to work with and delicious cakes. Thank you for making our day deliciously special.
After tasting the cake, we knew we wanted to use them for our wedding. They were flexible and worked with our vision. Guests loved the unique flavor we picked (candy crunch filling - HIGHLY recommended) and we cannot wait for our one year anniversary to go back for our free personal sized cake!
My cake was so beautiful. Thank you for all of your ideas and designing the most beautiful cake. The best part was the price, the taste and outstanding customer service.
Thank you.
For our wedding we got a small cake and cupcakes for guests, let me just say people are still talking about how delicious the cupcakes were! Fluffy Thoughts Cakes was great to work with and the process was so easy and seamless. Because of diet changes I had to change the cake and some of the cupcakes to gluten free and Lara was very responsive and accommodating. They were so good, that you couldn’t even tell the difference! I would highly recommend using Fluffy Thoughts Cake for your wedding!
I attended 10 plus cake tastings. Their cake was not only delicious but looked great too. Many compliments from our reception guests!
My wedding cake was absolutely beautiful as it had everything we spoke about prior. However, we found them to have poor communication and not living up to the contract set by the hotel. We asked to see pictures of what exactly was included in the hotel package, but they didn't have an exact picture of that. Besides that they told us something was extra when it showed as included in the hotel package. We ended up paying the extra item because they said that the hotel package needed updating. We felt like we were in the middle instead of feeling more special about our experience. The cake itself was delicious and it was done beautifully. We asked to have the cake rotated and they said it would be too heavy. We found another baker who had the rotating stand and the cake was fine being rotated. I was slightly disappointed with their customer service, but the final product was great.
The cakes were delicious and exactly what we were looking for. The guests ate leftovers for the days following the wedding and the cakes kept getting better.
We also ordered a bunch of mini-desserts including, pies, poptarts, cookies, lemon bars, etc. They were all delicious and the perfect bite.
Lara and the team were great to work with from tasting to the big day. They work with you on the vision and budget you have and make it a reality.
