We had envisioned a really unique cake. Our cake tasting was so much fun thanks to Monique's personality. She did a phenomenal job with the groom's cake!
Our wedding cakes were beautiful and exactly what we wanted and tasted amazing! Highly recommend her services!
Monique did a fabulous job. Let's just say people are still calling me to ask about our cake and cupcakes. Everything was fresh and moist and the buttercream was perfect! I definitely recommend the chocolate with ganache filling! We would use her again in a heartbeat. Many Blessings, Allison and Ted!
Great cake, customer service and she delivered to the restaurant!! We will be back for more orders.
Having a birthday during a pandemic is not a lot of fun when you are turning 16! But thanks to Monique, my son had a great day. The cake was amazing and literally melted in your mouth. We had chocolate cake with an oreo cooking filling and it was amazing! Completely exceeded my expectations!! Thank you!
Monique saved the day with an amazing cake! Our plans were changed last minute due to Covid and I went online and found Monique. She was great to work with. We wetn with red velvet finished in white chocolate cream cheese. Pretty and so delicious! Thank you, we'll be back for our Anniversary cake!
We first had Monique's cake at a friends wedding. I had to get the details and placed an order for our celebration. Beautiful cake and tasted delicious! Ordering and delivery was great - no fuss, everything was effortless and the cake arrived in perfect condition. Would definitely order more cakes from Monique!
Best cake ever and I have had a lot of cakes! Many look great and don’t taste ask food, but Mo’s cake was the best!
We have had Just Ask Mo make our birthday cakes for the past couple of years and she does an exceptional job! Always takes care in putting all my requests on the cake that i asked for - even when I asked for the "parkour" cake - including a boy jumping over a wall ...
This young lady hands down is the best in the business that I've ever witnessed! She has the uncanny knack of bringing an idea to artistic fruition in less time than it takes to conceive said idea! Cakes that are so elaborately put together you're almost scared to cut into it, but when you do, you understand the term "slice of heaven". I'm very glad to be in the Northern VA area because anytime I need a cake, this is the first call I'm making. I've had cakes from here for the past couple of years and I intend to keep the tradition going! Thank you for your great and excellent service!!!
Cake looked beautiful, tasted great, effortless ordering and she delivered it! Look forward to ordering again from Monique.
Monique did a last minute Halloween themed birthday cake for my daughter and everything was perfect! We will happily return for our next celebration cake!
We used Just Ask Mo Custom Cakes for our wedding in July and Monique understood my vision and was able to make it. Everything was perfect, beautiful and delicious. I recommend Monique to anyone looking for a wedding or any other kind of party!
Monique made wonderful cupcakes and a small cutting cake for our wedding. I planned the wedding from Florida and had to rely on reviews for most of my vendors. Monique is incredibly communicative and responsive, which was very important to me since I was long distance. The price was competitive and the cake was delicious!
Monique, thank you for the amazing cake. Everyone loved it! It was absolutely perfect! Thanks so much. I look forward to working with you again soon!
I nearly cried when I picked up my son's graduation cake. It exceeded ALL EXPECTATIONS! I bought this cake without ever having met Monique. She was very responsive when I initially emailed her and every step of the way. The cake was delicious and everyone loved the design. Thank you!
We ordered a custom cake for our son's 2nd birthday. It was gorgeous and tasted amazing! Thank you!!
Monique did our daughter's Sweet 16 cake after another bakery cancelled last minute. She was great to work with and very responsive to my emails and calls. The cake was beautiful and tasted even better. We highly recommend her and just placed another order for a large retirement party!
I had Monique's cupcakes at a friend's party and was struck at how moist and delicious the cake part was but totally LOVED the yummy icing, so I hired her to do my son's high school graduation cake. I sent her one of his graduation's photo's which she was able to successfully transfer to an excellent quality image on the cake while still finding space for the Congratulations and other wishes. My son loved the cake as did the guests many of whom had 2nd's and 3rd's! Again the icing was super yummy (my favorite part!), and the cake moist and delicious, rich and chocolatey without being super sweet. Delivery was on time and right to my home which was a godsend cause I had so much prep to do!
"Just Ask Mo" is that all too rare combination of delicious product and great customer service. I ordered a birthday cake for my wife who is a New Orleanian and is still in mourning for Prince. I asked for a mash-up of elements from Mardi Gras and Prince's symbol. The final design I left up to Monique. The cake was stunning. It was a perfect balance of kitsch and sophistication.
In addition to its visual appeal , our vanilla cake was delicious.
When you need a cake for your special event, a wedding, milestone birthday, or other high stress event, you cannot go wrong with "Just ask Mo." Monique is pleasant, efficient, she has a good design eye, and bakes a delicious cake.
She will be my go to provider for specialty cakes going forward.
I could not be happier with my order and the transaction as a whole! Monique is the consummate professional! Very attentive and very communicative. The best part is I came to her with a semi-formed idea and her smarts and creativity created something that completely surpassed my expectations! I haven't even touched on how good the cake is! 🙂 I will definitely go to her for any cake order that I have a say in from now on. Thank you SOOOO much!
Thank you for your beautiful work for our event! You were wonderful to work with and the cakes were delicious.
I've been a customer for years! We love working with Monique for our celebration cakes every since she did our wedding cake 5 years ago. She takes time to understand your vision and delivers EVERY time!!
Our cake was gorgeous and I received a lot of compliments on cake and flavors - thank you suggesting the Pumpkin Spice. Thank you!
Professional and a great person to do business with from start to finish for my daughter's wedding. We will be back for more cakes.
Monique made a wonderful cake for a bar opening I was attending in Arlington. Given the short notice, she exceeded all of my expectations! The cake was prepared on time and looked absolutely stunning. I couldn’t have been happier.
At work, we have been ordering cakes from "Just Ask Mo" for years, for all kinds of occasions - anniversaries, baby showers, birthdays, etc. The cakes look spectacular - creative, fun, beautifully executed. Last week, I needed a cake urgently for a 5-year-old refugee girl, who desperately wanted a Snow White Birthday cake. No store wanted to make one with Snow White. I was so sad. Monique picked up the phone and was so kind and understanding. The cake was flawless and the girl was thrilled beyond. Thank you, "Just Ask Mo" for making a wish of little girl come true.
Monique made my parent's 50th anniversary a spice with cream cheese frosting, which is what they had at their wedding. She was able to recreate the cake they had on their wedding day and it was wonderful. Give her a call, you will not be disappointed!

I used Just Ask Mo Cakes for my sons sweet 16 party and the cake was beautifully made, just the way I requested and it taste delicious. My guests loved it.
Monique created a beautiful bridal shower cake for my sister that was delicious. We had a last minute order and she was able to work with us to create a great cake.
Absolutely amazing cake! The taste and design was a 10/10~
Bachelor party cupcakes were amazing! Hope Mo is making the wedding cake.
We have used Just Ask Mo Custom Cakes for every special occasion since we moved here and haven't been disappointed yet! Great cakes, service and prices!
I have used Monique through all milestones within our family! She has done our baby reveal cake, 1st birthday, and recently 2nd birthday! It was a huge conversation starter and not only was it a fun cake it tasted out of this world!
Monique has always been so helpful with my husband's birthday cakes. She is very creative and has created super-hero after super-hero cake for our cooky family. Monique's cakes look -and taste- fabulous!
Her cakes are a HUGE hit here at NPR. They are always the talk of the event! People always ask, "Where did you get that cake from?".
Monique has been making birthday cakes, graduation cakes and baby shower cakes for me since 2011. The cakes not only look amazing, but they are so DELICIOUS. Monique is always on time, pleasant and professional. I look forward to working with her in the years to come.
You name it Monique can do it! Delicious and affordable. You'll become a returning customer after the first bite!
Thank you for my husband's awesome groom's cake. He was so surprised - I loved seeing his face!
My engagement cake was gorgeous, moist and flavorful. Thank you for everything!
We are looking forward to Monique doing our wedding cake. She's done many cakes over the last few years for family and friends. Even though we went to multiple vendors for tastings, I came back to her because of her personality and wonderful cakes. We will also be hiring her as our Day of Coordinator.
Monique did my friend's birthday cake and most recently my son's first birthday. I didn't hesitate to reach out when she requested I write a review for her. I don't know what she puts in her cakes but her buttercream is so YUMMY! I can't wait until the next event to order from her!
My daughter loved her sweet 16 cake! Monique has an impeccable eye for detail and her customer service is top notch!
Monique's cakes are just spectacular! Tasty,delicious and affordable!
One morning the doorbell rang and a woman was standing there holding a box. She handed it to me, said "Someone sent you something sweet! Enjoy!" I said thank you and went to open the box. OMG, I was not expecting cupcakes! My mom had sent me an assortment because she knew I was doing cake tastings for our wedding. We signed a contract within a week and Monique did our wedding cupcakes and groom's cake that summer!! She also did our wedding favors and welcome bags for guests - it's true Just Ask Mo(nique)!
We had used Monique for my mom's retirement party and was so pleased that my husband and I chose to her to make our wedding cupcakes. This is a very affordable alternative to wedding cake and she took care of everything for a reasonable price. All I had to do was pick my flavors and send her the color swatches for the handmade toppers she made. It was hassle free and worth every cent!
My fiance and I decided to go with a cupcake tower and we wanted something unique but classy.
Monique was really helpful and patience as I change my order multiple times. Great customer service - I know I was that crazy bridezilla looking back -- SORRY!
I knocked a star off for value as it was a bit more than our budget but I was very happy when guests kept going back for more + she suggested getting extra.
She even included a smaller cake so we could do a cutting ceremony -- she thinks of everything! Oh, and her frosting ROCKS - it is so light and not super sickly sweet like other ones I've tasted. I told her she should sell it by the bucket!!
Initially it took some time to set up a tasting as she books up quickly but Monique worked with us to create the cake we envisioned and one that worked within our budget.
Everyone loved the cake and we are glad we went with a smaller place as we got the attention I wanted.
Monique's cakes and customer service are outstanding! I bought my daughter's bridal shower cake from Monique a couple months ago. It was a beautiful tiered cake. Unfortunately, on the drive home the cake knocked against the side of the box. It totally was my fault, but I didn't want to ruin my daughter's party, so I raced back to her for help.
Monique could not have been nicer or more helpful. An hour later, I watched in awe as she repaired the cake. PLUS the cake was one of the most moist and delicious cakes I'd ever had! Everyone was very happy and I highly recommend Monique for your special events!
Monique did our bridal shower luncheon and did a lovely job with the cake and party favors. If we didn't have a wedding cake included at the venue - she'd be our first choice! We have also hired her as our day of coordinator and look forward to working with her - referred to me by a co-worker!
Everyone loved my sister's bridal shower cake. Not only did it look good it taste even better! Very moist and sweet. Monique put a lot of time into the details of the look even down to the pink she added into the inside of the cake. We had another person scheduled who had to cancel last minute and she squeezed us in on top a wedding she preparing for that weekend. She will be the first person I contact when I get engaged!
We have a unique and rare opportunity here in northern Virginia to take advantage of one of the best bakers in the area. Monique of Just Ask Mo custom cakes prepared the cake for my daughter's wedding and it was simply wonderful. Not only was the design just what the bride wanted, the cake itself was moist and melt in your mouth delicious.
It was so good, I asked her to do the cake for my son's wedding two years later. Additionally, we hired her to be our Day of Wedding Coordinator and she did a wonderful job setting up the room and making sure everything ran smoothly.
There have been several other occasions where I have ordered from Monique and will continue to do for all my event needs. You can count on her to deliver a first class product with professionalism.
I’ve had the great fortune of being a Just Ask Mo customer for many years. I was a fan when Monique's business first got underway and have remained a loyal, satisfied customer. Monique has done cakes and cupcakes for every family occasion… holidays, weddings, birthdays, retirement parties, book signing parties, social tea parties, baby showers and wedding showers. Not only were the cakes decorated to perfection, they were all absolutely delicious! Monique not only made the wedding cake for a family member’s wedding and shower, but coordinated the entire affair. The wedding was gorgeous and everything went on schedule and without a glitch! I have referred Monique to several friends and co-workers who have all been delighted with her cakes and the professional manner in which she operates her business. I highly recommend Monique for her special occasion cakes and/ or coordinating a special affair. I assure you that you will not be disappointed and will definitely come back for seconds!
My husband and I were at a complete loss for starting and making all our decisions when we were rushing to plan out our wedding in less than two months. But from our first phone call with Just Ask Mo Custom Cakes, I felt completely at ease with everything concerning our cake. Not only was it completely beautiful, but it was absolutely delicious. For every single compliment about the food, I got at least ten compliments about the cake. They could not stop raving about how delicious and beautiful our cake was. We even had family members fighting over the last few pieces! I am beyond pleased about how our cake turned out, and how reflective the entire event was of my husband's and my personalities. Even at other family weddings, now almost five years later, the usual comment is still, "oh, this is NOT as good as the cake you had at your wedding." And all my husband and I can do is shake our heads and say "We know!".
