Preeti is an absolute artist when it comes to cake!! Her cakes are delicious and elegant (definitely the best cakes I’ve ever tasted in my life, not kidding!) Such an amazing addition to our wedding day! Would 100% recommend I Want Pretty Cakes for your wedding or special events!!
Pretty Cakes made our wedding day perfect! Preeti was amazing to work with—professional, creative, and detail-oriented. From the start, she listened to our ideas and helped us design a cake that perfectly matched our theme.
The cake was absolutely stunning. We went for a vintage-inspired look with gold accents, and Preeti brought it to life beautifully. The sugar flowers looked so realistic, and the gold detailing was elegant and intricate. It truly felt like a centerpiece.
Not only was the cake gorgeous, but it also tasted incredible. We chose lemon and chocolate with raspberry and coconut filling—each flavor was moist, balanced, and delicious. Guests couldn’t stop raving about it, and many asked for her contact information!
Preeti’s attention to detail was exceptional. She arrived on time and set up the cake professionally. We’re so grateful to her for making the process stress-free and creating such a beautiful and delicious cake. Pretty Cakes is hands down the best choice for any wedding!
We booked Preeti for our wedding cake. During our consultation and tasting she gave us a variety of cakes with different flavors, fillings, and frostings and provided helpful recommendations for our cake’s design. We chose a lemon cake with raspberry filling and buttercream frosting that was both beautiful and delicious. We highly recommend Preeti and her cakes for any occasion!
The cake looked and tasted great and we had good communication throughout. We had a really good experience, thanks!
Preeti is so amazing! She is very kind and so professional! She is so easy to work with and very responsive. Her cakes are so beautiful and taste amazing! We will be using her again in the future!
Preeti is absolutely amazing! She is very responsive and always so sweet and kind. Her cakes are delicious to boot!
Beautiful cake done by our specifications in collaboration, however, Miss Preeti, the cake decorator, went above and beyond to create a delicious cake that was moist and admired by all of its design!
Preeti replies fast and is in tune with the details I wanted. She was able to deliver the design I wanted and it looked so pretty! It got a lot of compliments.
The cake was delicious too--just the perfect balance. Not too sweet, not to bland. Everyone loved it.
I got the cheapest deal from her and she delivered the cake to the venue and I didn't have to worry about following up.
Overall I highly recommend this vendor.
We had to plan a wedding quickly. A friend recommended Preeti from "I Want Pretty Cakes, Inc". She listened to the description of everything that we wanted, and Preeti delivered exactly what we asked for. The cake was was beautiful and it tasted outstanding!
Preeti's cakes are not only gorgeous, but delicious. She is the ultimate professional. She worked with and helped my son and his fiance to make sure their vision of their wedding cake was realized. Every step of the way she made it easy for us. On their wedding day she traveled an hour to the wedding venue to set up early. When my daughter married Preeti also made the wedding cake. 10 out of 10 the best there is!
Super nice, professional, detail oriented and fun to work with! Very helpful with gathering the specifics for how the cake should be made and what it should look like. The cake was a big hit at our wedding and if there ever was another occasion where I gotta have a special cake, look no further. 10/10
Excellent service and communication! Attention to detail and creativity! Excellent presentation and taste. Definitely a 5 star for all your cake needs and would highly recommend!
I Want Pretty Cakes, Inc. was outstanding! the cake was beautiful, it was delicious and it was the highlight of the wedding. My vision of the cake design was perfection. The cake was delivered on time and ready! I can say enough about the professionalism, the ordering process was easy and smooth, I received my contract right away. I had an awesome experience.
Thank you I want Pretty Cakes for making my wedding day one to remember!!!!
We loved our cupcake tower, and Preeti was very welcoming of our DIY elements too!
Our son was getting married at the USMC Museum in Triangle, VA this last Friday (May 12th), and Preeti of I Want Pretty Cakes, Inc., was on the vendor list with the museum. I live in Wyoming and am not familiar with the area. I went through each website the vendors had and contacted a handful of vendors on the list. She immediately responded, was professional, attentive, and understood exactly what we wanted. My intuition felt she was the right choice and I'm so glad I listen to myself. The cake was GORGEOUS, DELICIOUS, and absolutely exactly what we wanted. The bride and groom were so happy with it as were all the guests! We HIGHLY recommend her business. Especially if you live far away and want confidence in the person you want to help assist your special day.
I cannot say enough great things about Preeti. We had a great rapport from day one, and I felt very heard and understood. She sketched out an idea of what I wanted, and she completely hit the mark. She hosted a cupcake tasting and we picked the spice cake with apple filling and the white cake with strawberry filling. When we saw the final cake/cupcake tower, we all gasped. It was beautiful. We went with a "winter wonderland" theme, which she nailed. The cupcakes were a big hit and everyone loved the flavors we chose. Preeti is affordable, pleasant to work with, and a wonderful baker. I highly recommend booking with her!
My wife and I loved our experience working with Preeti as our wedding cake vendor. During the planning and contracting phase, when we were unsure of how many guests we would have at our wedding, she gave us the flexibility within the contract to “start smaller” than we expected, with the option to pay more as needed if we predicted that we would need a cake larger than originally projected. This flexibility not only brought us peace of mind (since we could potentially ask for an increased size up to three weeks in advance) it also saved us money, because we ended up only needing the smaller size she recommended! We were impressed how Preeti went out of her way to make sure we had everything we wanted and needed while saving us money. For example, she showed us examples of how she could visually decorate the cakes with buttercream frosting to look like fondant icing, without having to pay the additional expense that usually comes with fondant icing! My wife loves the look of fondant icing on cakes, so we were really pleased that we could capture that look while staying within budget. Preeti also beautifully decorated our cake with “frosting pearls” and fresh roses provided from our florist; it was a beautiful work of art. Beyond her willingness to find ways for us to save money without sacrificing quality and the striking visual aesthetic of her work, the taste was outstanding! During the tasting period, social distancing was still encouraged, so she baked us “mini-cupcakes” of up to six cake and filling combinations to take home as samples. We chose a strawberry cake, pineapple filling combination. Our guests loved it; it was the perfect size, there were very few leftovers for us to take home (though the perfect leftover portion for my wife and I), the colors (white frosting, red strawberry cake, gold pineapple filling) perfectly coordinated with our wedding colors, and most of all, it just tasted superb. Pretti also lent us a golden cake stand ($200 security deposit, fully refundable upon return to Pretti), which matched perfectly with our décor and saved us the money of having to buy an additional piece of décor. Thank you Pretti; our day couldn’t have gone any better, and both your prep work before the wedding and your work the day of shone through brightly!
I Want Pretty Cakes did an amazing job on my daughter’s cake and cupcakes. Not only was it tasty, but absolutely beautiful. We received so many wonderful compliments .. as the guests couldn’t believe the beauty.
I got my wedding cake done by Preeti and it was beautiful and delicious! She was very and pleasant to work with and the whole process of choosing the cake size and design was smooth. I had fresh flowers on the cake and she made sure she decorated the cake on time before the reception. The cake looked exactly like what I pictured in my head! I highly recommend Preeti for cakes for any big occasions.
After seeing and tasting Preeti's cake at a friend's wedding, this was an easy decision. The cake tasted great and was absolutely beautiful.
Preeti was incredible! The cake far exceeded our expectations (which were already very high after seeing pictures and tasting the samples). She was very responsive to emails, walked us through the entire process ahead of time, and kept in touch with us from start to finish. The cake was beautiful and delicious and exactly what we pictured. We highly recommend I Want Pretty Cakes to any couple looking for the perfect cake for their event. She was even super accommodating in letting us change pickup dates to best fit with our logistics and schedules!
Our wedding cake was absolutely beautiful. I cried happy tears when I saw it.. The cake tasted just as wonderful as it looked. We anticipated to have a lot leftover but our guests enjoyed it so much that it was all gone. We will be back for our anniversary to have Preeti recreate our top tier for us. She is patient, artistic, and honest about what will and won't look or taste good. 20 stars to I want pretty cakes if I could.
A huge thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the fantastic cake you made for our wedding! It exceeded our expectations. Taste, decorations, EVERYTHING! We loved it as much as the guests did! Preeti was fun and very easy to work with. Thank you, thank you so much again!
I ordered a lemon cake with raspberry filling, and opted for a “semi-naked” cake and it was absolutely beautiful! Preeti was so sweet and ensured I had a beautiful cake for my small wedding reception. She even added some decor that I told her I initially could myself due to some costs, but she was so sweet and added them herself. The cake was delicious and exactly what I had imagined! Thank you so much, highly highly recommend
I didn’t do a cake tasting with Preeti, but I was very impressed with how the cake looked and tasted. All of my guests wanted seconds and I’m a cake lover. Thank you Preeti! Will definitely use her services again.
Preeti did an amazing job designing our wedding cake. It was a last minute order as our initial cake designer cancelled on us but Preeti was able to make it happen. She exceeded our expectations. The cake was perfect in every way. We will order from Pretty Cakes again and again! :) Thank you!
I have used Pretty Cakes for my cake needs over the past few years. I have been very happy with the design and how delicious the cakes are. She will discuss the design, flavors and special details for the cakes and cupcakes. Everyone always compliments how good the cakes are. Very professional, responsive and listens to your ideas as well as makes great recommendations. Her portfolio of cakes for all occasions is very impressive!
There is no word to describe how amazing I Want Pretty Cakes is. Preeti has made two wedding cakes, three birthday cakes, one baby shower cake and one promotion cake for my family. As you can see, she is always apart of my families special occasions. From the first cake she has made to the latest one, the quality has remained top notch. Preeti is professional, accommodating and has the best personality. I highly recommend her to everyone. You will not be disappointed.
We had a very custom designed cake we wanted for our wedding. Preeti really took the time to really know what we were looking for came through with an amazing cake for our wedding. She went out of her way to deliver it early when there was a power out on our wedding day and she knew it needed to stay in refrigeration before the reception. Will definitely use her for any future cake needs.
Everyone raved about our cake! We thought we would be bringing home cake since we had a lower guest count then we thought. Nope, everyone had seconds or thirds to try all the flavors. Thank you so much for making our day special.
Jonathan and Rachel
Such a wonderful experience all around! Preeti was so nice and easy to work with. Our cake looked AND tasted delicious! We will absolutely have Preeti make the cakes for all of those special events in our lives. Thank you, Preeti!!
Our wedding cake was flawless!!! It was exactly what we envisioned and was outrageously delicious!!! I can’t recommend “I Want Pretty Cakes” enough!! We definitely will be back for future cakes!!!
I found Preeti when I conducted a google search for best wedding cakes in my area. After reading the great reviews, I decided to reach out via email for additional information. I was very pleased with the quick and professional response I received. Preeti answered all of my questions regarding her wedding cakes. Due to COVID she was not offering tastings which I completely understood; however, I was able to purchase a cupcake sampler for a reasonable fee. My now husband and I fell in love with the deliciousness of her cakes. She offers a variety of flavors so there’s something for everyone. I love that in addition to her wedding cakes, she also offers beautiful cake stands as a rental option. On the day of our wedding she delivered the cake on time and it was made exactly as we requested. We had several guests ask us where we got the cake from. It was that great! Luckily we had some leftover cake to take home that we were able to enjoy for the next couple of days. To our surprise, the cake still retained its moisture even two days after the wedding! Not only does she make great cakes but she is also very friendly and accommodating. I am happy that we found her company and moving forward we plan to use I Want Pretty Cakes for future occasions. My entire experience with I Want Pretty Cakes was awesome from the start to the end.
Preeti is amazing to work with! She’s professional, timely in her email responses and flexible (especially with covid happening, mail being delayed etc). I gave her a picture of my dress, fabric swatch of my bridesmaids dress, and a general description of what we were looking for. She drew up a sketch and we were on our way! It was amazing to feel like I could give this responsibility over to Preeti and just let her do her thing. The end product was phenomenal!! I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Preeti!!
We are so thrilled that we chose Preeti with I Want Pretty Cakes for our wedding cake!! When we went for our consultation, I literally moaned out loud when I tasted the first sample. Her cakes are THAT good! She was incredibly knowledgeable and worked with us on the design. The day of our wedding, our cake looked exactly how we wanted - it was absolutely beautiful! We had 3 layers and each was a different flavor. I feel like most wedding cakes are kind of tasteless and dry. But every layer of ours was amazing! Moist and flavorful and delicious! Plus, it smelled fantastic! We were able to take a couple pieces home with us, and every night we wish we had some more! I can't speak highly enough about Preeti and her cakes. Her prices are great, she's a very kind and talented baker, and our wedding cake tasted sooooo good!
The cake was absolutely delicious and Preeti was able to make it precisely to our specifications! We had a COVID friendly wedding with only 14 guests, but having a real wedding cake was one thing we really wanted to splurge on and I am SO glad we did! 10/10 would definitely recommend this awesome small business :)
My experience with I want pretty cakes was amazing! I found it on the internet for Top Bakers in WB area! I want pretty cakes was the first to pop up! I was very impressed. I will be a returning customer. Ms. Preeti did not let me down. My cake was exactly what I described it to T! Outstanding service. I will be contacting her for my Retirement Party cake for 2020!! Very satisfied customer. Thank you again! :)
I Want Pretty Cakes is amazing! Our cake was beautiful and delicious. Preeti was professional and receptive, all of our expectations were met. All our guests were raving over it. Thank you so much for making such an amazing cake for us.
WOW. I'll start from the beginning of my experience with Preeti and I Want Pretty Cakes, Inc.! She was recommended by our venue and in all honesty, we visited a store-front bakery before coming to her. Huge mistake. Their presentation was lackluster at best. When we showed up for a tasting with Preeti we were IMMEDIATELY blown away by the fact that she had carefully baked and created individual mini cupcakes for us to properly sample her various cakes, frostings, and fillings. We felt like we were sitting down with a friend to decide our cake. We talked her through what we liked and she walked us through a vision. She DREW. OUT. THE. DESIGN. The way she drew the design of our cake allowed us to ENVISION the cake at our wedding. It's beautiful! We were sold and booked her the next day.
Unfortunately, COVID-19 interrupted our scheduled wedding plans on March 21, 2020. Preeti was EXTREMELY easy to work with to reschedule our date, which will now be rescheduled again in the middle of a pandemic. Her communication is impeccable and I never had worries that she would deliver for us on our wedding day. I am SO EXCITED for the cake she will make for us in May 2021.
But that's not all! We value small businesses and their work, so when we actually got to officially tie the knot in a private ceremony on May 8, we asked Preeti if we could purchase a small cake from her for that day. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. It's hard to decide what she does better--bake a delicious cake, or decorate a stunning cake?!?!?! Good thing you don't have to sacrifice either with her services. Stop reading my review and go sign Preeti and I Want Pretty Cakes for your wedding immediately!!!
You will not regret using Preeti! She was great to work with, makes incredible cakes, and rose above our expectations; even checking in on my mom who was going through some health complications at the time (which meant the world to her!).
Her cakes are delicious, moist, and better than many of these "gourmet" bakeries out there. We offered take home slices as our wedding favors and were amazed that there was no cake left by the end of the night (my husband was very disappointed he didn't get any leftovers lol) We will definitely be using Preeti's service again in the future!
Preeti was a dream to work with from tasting to the big day. On the big day, she was on time, the cake was exactly the design we wanted and was delicious too!
What an exquisite cake we received for our 50th anniversary celebration. The cake was perfect. It looked exactly like the one I had envisioned, and tasted so much better than expected. Even having had the tasting prior to our party, the cake tasted like perfection. Normally at large functions, much cake goes uneaten. Not at our party. And many folks commented on the delicious flavor. The only down side was there was no leftover chocolate cake! We had two layers chocolate and one lemon (and an extra lemon "kitchen" cake because we had more people than originally planned for), with raspberry filling. I didn't get any chocolate. Thank you to our wonderful cake baker, Preeti.
My husband and I are so grateful we chose Preeti to make our wedding cake. She took the time to make sure we were absolutely sure of what we wanted. She made sure to provide suggestions and answer all our questions. While doing the cake tasting, she made both my husband and I feel very welcomed. The process honestly couldn't have been any more simpler. We had a few ideas for the cake in mind and she was able to capture exactly what we were imagining and bring it to life. When we finally saw the cake, we were blown away just how exact and punctual she was. The taste was amazing and I wish I had more of it as I type this... We definitely recommend her, you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much for making our day all the more special. ❤️
I am so thankful for Preeti and her amazing work she did with our cake and cupcakes! We had so many guests come up to my husband and I after the wedding and tell us our cake was delicious. I would recommend Preeti for any event that you need a cake at! She is very easy to work with and makes the entire planning process smooth. Thank you so much Preeti!
For my entire wedding, I used a total of ten vendors. However, only Ms. Preeti Salunke and one other vendor not only delivered 100% of our expectations, but in the process, went above and beyond to please us. Other vendors under-delivered, but not her.
My (now) husband and I paid the initial $30 cake-tasting session fee, and with all the commotion of a summer wedding planning, and at crunch-time, I forgot to tell her about both my food/fruit allergies, and the Coconut/Pineapple (Piña Colada) flavors we'd like her to stick with, prior to the trial.
Once there, we were warmly welcomed in her house and were mesmerized by her standard sample cake and filling flavors she'd employ. On telling Preeti of my limits, and our desires, she still, at no additional charge, made a total of twelve additional sample coconut mini-cupcakes, each with four complimentary filling flavors (coconut, pineapple, vanilla, and lemon). They were all ready for pick-up on another day, but very soon afterwards. We were absolutely blown away with these flavors! They were moist, delicious, and very light, and so we immediately decided to hire Preeti for our Custom Wedding Cake, as the three of us were already decided upon the cake design.
Along the weeks, the total number of our wedding guests changed from 100 to 120, making the whole cake change by an additional tier, which therefore changed the overall design of the cake. Preeti is understanding, flexible, and patient, and was yet again able to accommodate us, and (by this time), on even shorter notice. She went back to the drawing board, and within just a few days, she sent a soft-copy of our revised four-tier cake, its colors, and overall new design. This action re-validated our decision to hire Preeti.
The deposit and the fees of the new cake were paid in full right then and there. Her efficiency, organizing, planning, designing, and baking style has been exemplary, not only among other cake bakers and designers, but for all kinds of wedding vendors.
Preeti, Thank You for our delicious and beautiful cake. This was definitely the most delicious, and prettiest dessert at our Wedding!
For readers wanting to see an image of our Wedding Cake, kindly contact Preeti herself (Photo credits by Whole Heart Studios).
For readers wondering about the flavors of our cake and filling choices:
My husband and I chose coconut cake with pineapple filling both both the top (1st), and bottom (4th) tiers. The 2nd tier was vanilla cake with lemon filling, and the 3rd tier was chocolate cake with cherry filling. This gave my husband and I the opportunity to save the top tier (our favorite summer flavors, and floral design!) for our 1st year anniversary to re-create the lovely memories.
Best wishes, sa7tein, and bon appétite from us to you!
Preeti is the best! She was so flexible with our wedding cake order - coming up with a beautiful custom cake with us at the taste testing. All of her flavors are delicious- and you can combine your favorite flavors in different tiers.
Preeti was polite and professional. She delivered the cake to our wedding reception on time and was more than happy to coordinate with our florist to create a beautiful custom floral arrangement on our cake. We cannot recommend Preeti enough!
During the planning process, Preeti was very attentive to the bride's requests and she gave wonderful suggestions. The bride and groom chose 2 flavors in alternating layers of the wedding cake. The cake was beautiful on the outside and the inside. The strawberry cake matched one of the brides colors of coral. Preeti returned emails immediately and went above and beyond when additional cake was needed 3 days before the wedding!
Preeti's cakes & cupcakes are delicious & beautiful at the same time! She made our dream cake perfect in detail & matched the colors we wanted as well. Her pricing is also very reasonable. She is easy to work with and delivered everything on time for our morning wedding. Would definitely order from her again and recommend her to anyone in the Northern Virginia area!
The cupcakes and our cake topper were amazing! Preeti is fantastic to work with because she is polite and also very willing to customize based on what you want. She was a pleasure to work with and everyone loved the sweets!!
From the beginning we knew we had a budget in mind for cake. I had tried a couple of different places but couldn’t find one that was within our price range. I ended up reaching out to Preeti (I Want Pretty Cakes) and she was an amazing person to work with. Right away she was able to respond to any questions I had and was able to offer options within our price range to ensure I was happy with the result. We set up a tasting right away and as soon as I bit into the first cupcake I was in love. Super moist and delicious cupcakes all across the board! We booked her right away! The end result was beautiful and just the way we envisioned it! I would definitely recommend her to any friends or family for future events. Thank you Preeti!
Pretti did a fantastic job helping us out in picking the right wedding cake. We wanted a confetti cake and she was very accommodating and even included it at a tasting! She delivered on time as well and it went very smoothly. The cake was also extra delicious and a lot of our guests ended up asking where the cake was from so that they could order cakes for themselves. It also looked incredibly stylish as well and held up well the whole night until we did the cake cutting.
Due to the friendly service and delicious cake I cannot recommend I Want Pretty Cakes enough. Best in the business!
I had very high standards and expectations for my daughter’s wedding cake and my experience with I Want Pretty Cakes, Inc. exceeded all of them. After speaking with many cake companies I knew I finally found the one from the first time I spoke with Preeti the owner. She was friendly, professional, and gave suggestions of how my vision could happen. She was accommodating to my schedule to meet with her to get all the details worked out. We chose a three tier cake and had chocolate, vanilla, and marble all with bavarian cream filling. The cake not only looked perfect it tasted out of this world. We received so many compliments from our guests on how delicious the cake was. I highly recommend Preeti to make your wedding cake if you are looking for the best!
It was a lovely experience working with Preeti. She made the most beautiful cake that matched what we had requested and envisioned our cake. Not to mention it tasted great! She was responsive and flexible. The cake was delivered on time, and was set up beautifully. HIGHLY recommend!
PrettyCakes was amazing!!!!!!! My cake was so so so beautiful! She was professional and extremely responsive! She completely met allll my expectations, not only that but the cake tasted so good!! All my guests were raving over it!!! Thank you so much for making such an amazing cake for me!!!!!!!! You are the absolute best and I am so glad I chose you to make my cake!!
Preeti is outstanding! Our baker said she couldn’t make our cake at 5:00 PM the Thursday before our wedding. I called Preeti and we spoke about what we had previously planned. She quickly emailed me with a write-up, met me to go over the details, and by 7:30 PM that night I was able to go home and relax knowing Preeti had started on our cake, and would be delivering it that Saturday.
Our wedding cake was absolutely delicious as much as it was beautiful. We will be posting the pictures on her instagram: @cakes.pretty
Disclaimer: Don’t wait til the last minute - we didn’t have a choice. Just know that Preeti is the one you want for your big day!
Preeti did an amazing job capturing our vision for the cake. Everyone commented not only on how beautiful it was, but on how amazing it tasted. We are still enjoying some of the leftover cake a few weeks later and it is just as good as the day of! I highly recommend her service!
Preeti made the most perfect cake and cupcakes for our fall wedding! From the tasting to final product, working with I Want Pretty Cakes to create our wedding cake was an absolute joy. Everything tasted amazing, and had the rustic feel that I really wanted without using fondant and by topping the cake off with fresh sunflowers.
This cake was amazing. It looked exactly what I wanted and more. It tasted wonderful as well. Thank you so much!
I am so beyond thrilled I found Preeti! She is the sweetest person ever and makes cakes that look gorgeous AND taste delicious!! She made 5 dozen cupcakes and a 6 inch wedding cake for my October wedding and it was absolutely breathtaking. If you need a beautiful cake that tastes as good as it looks at a fair price, you’ve found the right place. I will definitely be a frequent customer!
The cake for our wedding was amazing! Preeti does amazing work from helping us design the cake to delivery. The cake was so good, and there wasn't a crumb left.
