Stacey's Cakes And Creations

her services again for another event.

t I am a last-minute planner, and contacted her only 3 weeks before our wedding, with no time to come in for an in-person tasting or consultation, and she made it all happen based on my emails and a couple phone calls. Would definitely recommend!

n. Every year more and more guest ask for her contact information and business cards for their own party and I tell them that she's my Cake Lady. Stacey has been a pleasure to work with and a welcomed vendor to our family. If you want the best cakes in the DC, MD, VA market start with Stacey's Cakes and Creations first.

t great attention. She came to us to talk about what we wanted, with samples of her flavors and some sketches of ideas based on the monogram/invitation I had e-mailed her just a few days before. The cakes had great flavor, and we loved how detail oriented she was, and how she asked us questions about what we wanted and worked to get a design that was perfect for us. We were already leaning towards choosing her when she quoted us a price - that was HALF of what the other bakeries were charging, and for much more customization! The only downside to the consultation and our interactions were that since she is doing this out of her home, she sometimes had her children in tow for negotiations, and didn't provide us a mailing address (which made me nervous, but I understand). I would have liked her to be a bit more professional in that respect, and that's the only thing that's keeping me from rating her 5 stars. Ultimately, the cake arrived early at our venue, and was GORGEOUS - she hand-designed scrollwork detail on our "monogram layer" and it was almost identical to our invitation scrollwork - a complicated pattern. More than just aesthetics, though, the cake was delicious - we went with orange/dreamsicle and chocolate - one of my favorite candid wedding pictures is me eating both flavors - with a fork in each hand - it was that good! We still have a few slices in our fridge over a week after the wedding, and it is still moist and delicious. If you are looking to go small, local, and willing to have a baker without a storefront, Stacey would be an excellent choice. And, her price is fantastic, too!
