were asking to take some home :). I truly loved our wedding cake and it was definitely a special touch to our day. Misty is incredibly professional and talented. She worked with our vision and transformed it into a masterpiece. I would love to work with her again for future events!
Really rude communication.
Misty is amazing. She is so kind and was helpful and patient with us from the very start. She worked with us to make a cake that matched our wedding theme and she NAILED IT! We abs...

Misti did my Son and Daughter's in laws wedding cake and it was absolutely beautiful.
Misty was so great to work with!

ple frosting and holy crap it was delicious!!
Our wedding was September 13th and she delivered a flawless, delicious cake, exactly on time, despite having some personal issues going on. I highly recommend her for your cake!! You won't be disappointed!
Misty was wonderful to work with. We came to her home for the tasting and everything tasted amazing. We told her exactly what we wanted and she drew out a design for us during the ...
tasting. We agreed with the color scheme and flowers. The only reason why i gave a 4 and not a 5 was because i tried contacting her through email and phone 3 months before the wedding, i didnt get an immediate response. A month or 2 before the wedding i contacted her again and she responded, saying that she didnt recieve my emails, which was ok, i was just glad she responded back!. When the wedding came, the set up was gorgeous and the cake tasted great! I had many compliments about the cake at my wedding. I do highly recommend her!
When we first tasted Misti’s cupcakes we knew we wanted an entire cake! The consistency of the cake was very spongy and moist, and the buttercream frosting was flavorful but not to...
o sweet! Misti was very flexible with whatever flavors we wanted to use for our two tiers of cake. She also delivered and setup the cake for us at a small additional cost. Great value for great cake!
OMG is it amazing cake. Girl Meets Cake owner Misty made the entire process just perfect. My fiancé went into the tasting wanting only plain white cake and we walked away with some...
thing much different and just beautiful. We are not frosting people so we ordered a naked cake covered in fruit. We did two tiers of classic vanilla cake and one of double chocolate. Chocolate buttercream on the chocolate layer with a raspberry filling and cream cheese frosting on the vanilla cake – one strawberry filling and one blackberry filling. I honestly wish on the wedding day I had eaten more cake. It was just fantastic cake. Guests could not stop telling us how great the cake looked and tasted. I cannot wait for the need to purchase another cake from Girl Meets Cake – do we need to wait for our anniversary?
I am not a dessert person so I am hard to impress, but from the first moment I bit into Misty’s cake at our cake tasting, I was blown away. Her cakes are delicious, the best cake I...
have ever eaten. Misty has a bunch of cake and frosting flavors and is totally flexible on any combinations you would like. We had a three-layer cake and each layer was a different flavor and each was absolutely delicious. Misty delivers the cake to your venue and has cake stands you can use. And she is very affordable!! It was a pleasure working with Misty, I highly recommend her!!
Wow! Misty blew me away with her ability to make my dream come true for my wedding. I had a vision of what I wanted, and she made it happen without any hesitation. Her creativity, ...
talent, and clear dedication for what she does were extremely evident. She personally delivered our cake and cake jars and the presentation was unparalleled!
This review is based solely on my interaction with this vendor. This was truly the worst encounter with any vendor that I have had thus far in my bridal experience. I contacted th...
is vendor based on a recommendation from my friend that used her for hr wedding and swore that she would be SO EASY to work with and inexpensive. I contacted her and everything was going well until I stated that I could sometimes be indecisive and requested to taste more than her offering of only 4 flavors of cake. Being that she offers about 8 flavors, only tasting 4 and making a decision from that made no sense to me. At some point, my contact with her was transferred over to her sister, who then informed me that if I wanted to taste more than 4 flavors, I would have to pay an extra $10 per flavor and was immediately sent an invoice. Again this was absurd to me, because I have been to a cake tasting and was allowed to taste any flavor of cake that I wanted to without paying a dime. However I agreed to pay the fee IF it would be applied towards my final price quote if i purchased a cake from her. However, the sister informed me that the price would not be applied to my final cake price. So at the suggestion of my friend who had worked with her, I requested to be put back in contact with the actual baker. Apparently, this was a mistake because I then received an email from the baker herself letting me know how wonderful her cakes were (conceited much) and that the extra fee was for her time and then she stated that I should find another baker and she would not be working with me. In disbelief, I then tried to call her thinking that maybe something was miscommunicated with the third party, but she was even more rude on the phone than she was in her email and informed me that she shouldnt have to stop baking her cakes on a Friday to communicate with me and that there was a reason that she had admin staff and that she was not the baker for me. Now Im pretty easy to work with and have had a blast with all my vendors thus far but when Im paying for a service and especially when it concerns one of the most important days of my life, not being able to contact a vendor directly is concerning and rude behavior is unacceptable. Needless to say shortly after that phone call, I placed a deposit with a vendor who is triple this vendors price but her customer service is impeccable. No discount is worth this type of customer service. *The old adage "you get what you pay for" is very true in this case. **** This vendor has gone out of her way to have my review removed on other sites. I guess she doesnt want any bad ratings or anyone to be aware of how she treats potential customers, but Ive also blogged this experience in a lot more detail as I am a guest wedding blogger for a couple of popular sites, so please contact me if you have any questions.
This review is based on our cake tasting, since I cannot write a fair review of the cake on the day of my wedding because I didn't really eat any. :/ There were some slices of wedd...
ing cake that were left out throughout the night, and I tasted the chocolate marble cake the morning after our wedding, and it was just as delicious, albeit drier. I think that had something to do with the cake being left out, but again, this review is mostly for the tasting.
We really enjoyed working with Misty (the owner), and she even discounted one of her 3-tier cakes that looked almost exactly like some of the cakes I had already pinned to my Pinterest board. While our budget only allowed for one cupcake for each guest with other cake bakers, we could get a FULL three-tier cake (no dummy tiers) for a little over our budget with her.
She used cupcakes for her tasting, and the cake was moist and OMG — the frosting. Now, I am the first person to tell you that I am not a fan of frosting on cakes. I normally never eat frosting when it comes to cakes unless it is whipped frosting. But Misty’s frostings were so delicious, so coming from me, that speaks volumes. We even had the luxury of being in her house, so if we did want to try a cake flavor with a different filling that wasn’t already out there, she went back to her kitchen to grab a cupcake in that flavor and just fill it in.
She was so much fun, and her humor matched our humor. We even shared some crazy stories. She seriously was one of the coolest vendors we met and very laid back. Every flavor we tasted was really good; it was hard to select a combination that we could agree on. Misty helped guide us with her suggestions and reminded us that we would have a 3-tier cake, so we could have different flavors for our guests with different palates.
At the time of the tasting, I wasn’t sure if I wanted a cake stand, but at a different date, I did e-mail her about taking her up on her offer of borrowing one of her stands. The stands she had though were a bit too rustic for my taste, so she actually offered to buy a cake stand that better aligned with my vision just to add to her collection as well — a mutual benefit, I guess you could say. How cool is that, and how generous of her!
There was a point in time right after we booked with her and I was asking her about a contract, and I didn't hear back from her in at least a week. I came to find out she was on vacation, but I wished I would've known that beforehand. I was worried I would have to look for other cake bakers.
Misty is beyond amazing at what she does. From the cake tasting to the day of the wedding the entire experience was phenomenal. She is very reasonably priced and I got a lot of com...
ments on how great the cake looked and tasted. She also makes beautiful birthday cakes, I recommended her to a friend and she made a beautiful star wars cake for her sons 2nd birthday.
Misty is so talented! From our first meeting, we knew she would be the one making our wedding cake :) She was so easy to work with, knew what we wanted without us having to say muc...
h, and was priced so well. She worked with us when picking our topper and gave us advice on what would look best. In the end, it was more than we ever imagined! She delivered our 2-tier cake with cupcakes (with different flavors) to our venue. The cake was beautiful and was so delicious. We even had some left over and it was still so good. We had so many compliments from guests...even guests saying they want to get future cakes from them. We've definitely found our cake baker for life! Can't wait to get our cake remade for our 1st anniversary!
Misty is FANTASTIC. She provided us with a beautiful, 4-tier custom designed cake, 3 sheet cakes (1 of each flavor), and a groom's cake at such a nominal price. She invited us to h...
er house for a sampling and everything was amazing. She delivered it to our venue, set it up, and was an absolute joy to work with.
She will always be our #1 cake person. The quality, flavor, and price can NOT be beat, especially in the DC metro area!
My cake was beautiful and tasted delicious! Our Redskins grooms cake was a crowd pleaser as well. You cannot beat the price and the cake looks like a million bucks. I would not ...
ever consider using anyone else!
Misty was great to work with! I told her my budget and she was able to stay within it (if not below it) while still delivering a beautiful and delicious cake! I sent her a picture ...
of what I wanted the cake to look like and she replicated it very well. Definitely a great price for the quality you get!
I really liked my cake and working with Misty. Sometimes there was some communication breakdowns but I think that was mainly due to both of us moving in the same year while plannin...
g was going on. The cake was good and compared to other cake vendors in the area a great deal!
She was able to take a picture from a magazine and recreate the cake but even better! Loved it! Thanks again :)
Everyone loved the cake and it was so beautiful and affordable.
