I graduated with a diploma in Baking and Pastry from the Art Institute of Washington and I've been working as a pastry chef around the DC metro area since 2007. After having a baby in April 2019, I decided to focus on one of my passions with my husband - creating lasting memories with rememberable wedding cakes and desserts.

Audrey made our wedding cake into an incredible work of art! We worked with her to design a unique cake with sugar mushrooms and a small sugar lizard, and it turned out even more m...

agical than we could have imagined. It was also delicious, and Audrey was able to accommodate our dietary restrictions (dairy allergy) as well. In addition, to the two tiered cake, she baked several dozen dairy free cupcakes, including our favorite flavor, ube. Thanks so much, and we definitely recommend Frost and Flourish!

The cakes Audrey created for our wedding were simply amazing. Not only were they both delicious, they just looked fantastic. After a conversation with her, she understood just what...

we were looking for in our wedding cake. She helped my husband settle on the design of his groom’s cake and the result was stunning. Audrey created a beautiful 3-tired blue ombre cake, masterfully finished with the perfect complementary flowers provided by our florist, and a groom’s cake decorated with a scene of a train chugging through the mountains. We loved the chocolate mint flavor she put together for us, as well as the chocolate ganache that made up our main cake and the lemon for the groom’s cake. Her other desserts were a hit, too: delicious mini cheesecakes and apple and chocolate pecan tarts. She also kindly rented us stands for the desserts which both looked great and saved us money on rentals. We’re absolutely delighted with how everything turned out!

We're so glad we went with Audrey for our wedding cake! The sugar sunflowers were beautiful and everyone at our wedding commented that it was the best wedding cake they ever had!

Audrey was such a pleasure to work with. First of all, the cake tasting experience was so amazing. She met us in our neighborhood with three mini but full size cakes (not slices), ...

that we were able to enjoy later. ALL DELICIOUS. But the reason we chose Audrey was because she was so friendly, so accommodating, and so helpful throughout the process. And our cake came out exactly as we had hoped it would. I highly recommend Audrey for your next event.

I was at a friend’s wedding and the cake was gorgeous and delicious! I immediately asked for a referral - which led me to Audrey. Audrey was easy to work with and understood my ide...

as right away. Due to Covid we couldn’t meet in person or do a cake tasting, but that in no way impacted my vision coming to life. Our cake looked amazing and again tasted amazing. I will use Audrey every time I need a cake for a life event (if she is free!) going forward. I cannot wait for my 1 anniversary cake!!!!

Audrey made us a beautiful cake that was exactly what we had envisioned and wanted. We picked lemon flavored inside and it was delicious. All our guests commented on how beautiful ...

it was and how great it tasted. Audrey also showed up on time as scheduled, delivered the cake herself, and decorated it with the cake topper and flowers we provided. She went above and beyond to take over and not give us any extra work. It was great knowing I could trust her to handle everything seamlessly!

We reached out to her 1.5 weeks before our wedding. Not only was she available, she was willing to experiment with the floral flavors I really wanted. We had a great tasting. Before the tasting, she asked me if I wanted Italian or American buttercream frosting if I wanted French or American cake....I didn't know there were so many options. She explained the differences and we went from there. She took the inspirational pictures of the cake I wanted and recreated it beautifully with hand lace piping. She hadn't done lace piping in a few years so she sent me a picture of her piping skills before putting them on the cake. We had a 3 tier cake - elderflower with American buttercream, rose with cream cheese frosting, and orange blossom with American buttercream. Shimmering champagne-colored base cream frosting with white piping and fresh roses. Our cake was so delicious! Very reasonably priced especially given the last minute request. One year anniversary cake included with wedding cake purchase! She was upfront and honest with her pricing. Delivery and set up fee was included in her pricing. She's also super nice and friendly. she was prompt in her responses and professional. A pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!
