Evan was an absolute delight to work with! She took the time to understand our needs and made sure we were getting what we needed and what we wanted. She was transparent about everything we would need for the size and type of wedding we hosting, and from just a few inspiration photos, she crafted a cake that surpassed all expectations! Delivery and setup were flawless, and she went above and beyond by coordinating with our florist to ensure the cake florals were arranged perfectly.
The cake was not only stunning but also incredibly delicious! My husband and I were amazed—this was not the usual overly sweet wedding cake that prioritizes looks over taste. Even guests who aren’t typically fans of sweets were raving about how fantastic the cake was.
We couldn’t have asked for a sweeter ending to our night. For a cake that looks and tastes incredible, choose Sweets by E and experience it for yourself!
Our wedding cake was exactly what we were hoping for. We sent Evan some inspiration pictures and she helped us translate those pictures into the simple, yet elegant wedding cake of our dreams. She offers a wide variety of flavor/icing/filling options and it was a blast to taste our way through our top choices. Not only was the wedding cake beautiful to look at, but it was delicious too! Evan was easy to work with and the quality of her work speaks for itself. Can't recommend her enough!
Sweets by E came recommended to us by our caterer due to her being a local, small business owner – a rarity in the DC wedding scene, apparently. We reached out to Evan about 5 months before our wedding to plan a tasting and design consultation. After an hour debating which flavor was the best, we chose the Royal Wedding with a white and lavender buttercream. On our wedding day, Evan arrived early, finished decorating the cake with flowers from our florist, and put our cake topper on before she ran off to another wedding. Despite Evan’s busy schedule, we never felt secondary. She answered all of our questions and even a last second, surprise request by the bride – a chocolate cupcake for the groom. Evan is an amazing, detail-oriented baker and we highly recommend her!
Evan was easy to work with right from the beginning! She answered all of our questions and was so willing to go beyond and above for us. Not to mention, our wedding cake was to die for!!! All of our guests raved about it afterwards. Simply delicious!!
Everything about Sweets by E is such a treat!
A friend of ours recommended Evan’s services when we first started planning for our wedding cake. She is really easy to work with, she is responsive and attentive, and extremely talented. She quickly understood our vision for our simple yet elegant 2-tier wedding cake.
Her menu consists of a broad variety of flavors and for cake lovers like us it was difficult to decide, so of course we had to sign up for double the dose of tasting boxes with various flavor assortments. They all were delicious. We ended up going the classical route and chose a simple vanilla cake with vanilla cream and fresh strawberries, mainly because we figured that’s how our guests may likely enjoy the cake best and also it went well with our design. We also placed a large order of Macarons, because who doesn’t love Macarons – we got most of the flavors Evan offers!
On the day of, Evan delivered our cake and sweets to our wedding venue and finished the design with the flowers supplied by our florist. Everything was incredibly tasty and fresh and we received a many compliments from our wonderful guest. I must emphasize that the design was on spot and more; E is a cake wizard and her work is phenomenal!
We will continue spreading the word about E and surely use her services in future (fingers crossed she will have time to make our taste buds happy and our gym memberships busy).
Evan has a gift for cake. I don't even like wedding cake that much but I couldn't get enough of the 4 cakes in the sample box. We got the tiramisu flavored cake for our wedding and it was delicious and beautiful. Our guests raved about the cake. Evan was so easy to work with and she captured our vision perfectly. She was flexible with the pick up time and very responsive in the planning process. Look at her Instagram to see how much of an artist she is. Highly recommend.
Sweets by E have just the best wedding cakes around this area. We did tasting in many different places but when we tried Evan’s cakes it was just delicious! I had plenty of wedding guests saying that the cake was amazing and it was the best wedding cake they had in a very long time! Besides the cake being delicious, the design was also beautiful. I would highly recommend picking Sweets by E, you won’t regret it!
I didn't know cake could taste this good until I tried the samples provided by Sweets by E for our wedding cake. There was a perfect balance of flavors in every bite and a flavor to suit any taste. We chose lemon cake with lemon curd for our wedding. 10/10 would recommend a thousand times over! Evan was so easy to work with, flexible, communicated well, and willing to work with my crazy schedule. She made us a cake more beautiful than I could have ever asked for. We got so many compliments from guests about how delicious and beautiful it was. Thank you so much again! It was perfect.
Sweets by E is a wonderful baker to work with! Evan was so easy to work with and captured our wedding vision perfectly. She was flexible and understanding when we had to postpone our wedding twice. Our cupcakes and cutting cake were delicious and gorgeous. I would highly recommend Sweets by E for any baking needs!
We reached out to Evan after deciding that we'd like to get a variety of cupcakes and a small wedding cake for our wedding. She was super sweet and easy to work with. When we were trying to schedule a tasting, our schedules were a bit all over the place, but Evan was super flexible and worked out a pick up instead, so we could try the different cupcake/cake flavors at home. After we booked, we sent her some inspo pics and our cake came out exactly as we had hoped (and even more delicious than we could have imagined ;). Evan was wonderful to work with- we'd highly recommend her!
Working with Evan was super easy and zero stress for me. The tasting was easy and plenty of flavors to choose from. We loved two, so we got two different flavors in our cake. She was easily able to create our design and coordinate with our day of contact. She handled the delivery and set-up. I got lots of compliments on our cookies and cream and strawberry flavors!
One word. YUM. Do not pass go, do not bother going elsewhere. Not only fun flavors but AMAZING cake. Evan creates beautiful designs and really worked with our vision. Never dreamed of having a four tiered cake, but she made it work!
It was great working with Evan - she was super responsive and answered our many questions! Most importantly, the cake was BEAUTIFUL and super delicious. We loved it!
Evan was so awesome! We had 4 different flavor cupcakes, a wedding cake, and a groom’s cake and all of them tasted amazing! Not only were Evan’s cakes delicious, but they looked amazing! My guests particularly loved the fun-fetti flavored cake!
Everyone loves cake, but Sweets by E cakes are beyond GOOD. We chose Sweets by E after first tasting my sister's wedding cake since she knew Evan already. I am SO glad we did because not only is Evan professional, so nice and organized but she knows how to BAKE. A. CAKE. The tasting was so yummy and we tried a bunch of different flavors that were all so delicious. We decided to go with Cookies and Cream and Cinnamon Sugar and everyone raved about it. We had guests asking if they could bring some home with them. I definitely recommend using Sweets by E for any cake you need- wedding, birthday or just because you want cake. Thank you Evan!
We are so beyond happy with the way our cake turned out. We had a couple different ideas we wanted incorporated onto our cake and Evan went above and beyond what we were hoping for. The cake tasted amazing and looked absolutely beautiful. Sweets By E is very reasonably priced and we would recommend her.
It is safe to say cake tasting was by far our favorite part of wedding planning. The cookies and cream cake was so delicious!!! We also got a vanilla cake with raspberry and our guests are still telling us how good the cakes were. Evan was a pleasure to work with and her work is even sweeter ;)
Evan did a wonderful job with our wedding cake. It was delicious and gorgeous! My husband and I were so happy with everything. We did a vanilla with strawberries and cream for the 3-tier cake and German chocolate for a sheet cake. So yummy! She is such a pleasure to work with, very nice, and I would absolutely go back to her with any cake needs again. I even had a little snafu with misplacing the cake toppers (my error) and nobody knew because how great the top was decorated on the fly. We also enjoyed every flavor we tried during the tasting and feel like you can’t go wrong with her choices. Thanks Evan!
Sweets by E is awesome! Evan did an amazing job ) with our cake. The tasting was fun and she answered all their questions. We wanted something a little bit unconventional (a “peekaboo “ cake ) and she delivered big with the final product. Our cake was traditional on most of the outside and had everything the bride wanted, but we had a small portion of it that showed three Star Wars images, one on each of the three tiers. When we did the tasting we were surprised at our taste buds liking to the strawberry cake. You have to try the strawberry cake! The groom constructed a motorized Lazy Susan that would rotate the cake during the night to show the guests all sides of the cake. Evan worked with the venue to make sure that the cake was on the Lazy Susan and integrated seamlessly. It was definitely a highlight of our day! We would absolutely recommend sweets by E to any couple getting married.
Evan did an AMAZING job with our 4 tier delicious buttercream cake! We had 3 different kinds of cake (to include vanilla, berries, and chocolate) in our 4 tiers and everyone was raving the entire night (and days after!) The cake was not only stunning, but it was also absolutely delicious!! Highly recommend Sweets By E to any bride looking for a PERFECT cake! Thank you so much, Evan!!
Evan did a wonderful job on our wedding cake. She was very easy to work with and her prices were very reasonable compared with most other wedding bakers. She came highly recommended by our caterer and coordinator. It looked beautiful on the day-of and tasted delicious.
Evan was great to work with. She made a beautiful cake, exactly what I wanted, and it tasted absolutely amazing. She is an artist and a wonderful person! She really helped make our wedding amazing- and other holidays because we keep coming back for more.
Sweets by E, was fantastic. We met with Evan, and outlined what we had in mind. Evan was able to take our idea, and create exactly what we were looking for. We had a smaller two tier cake, and about 150 cupcakes of different flavors. When we arrived our cake table looked stunning, with our cake taking center-stage surrounded by E's confectionary works of art.
I cannot recommend Sweets by E enough! They made the most DELICIOUS cupcakes for our wedding, on May 6th 2017! We decided to have cupcakes for our guests and a small two tier cake for ourselves and our wedding party. Im not even joking when I say you've never had a cupcake or cake like this, completely exceeded my expectations, delicious! And during the tasting she had many flavors and options available to suit your tastes, I love fruity flavors so she had several combinations of lemon, raspberry, and strawberry icing and cupcakes, so good and perfect for our spring wedding. But she had lots of other options too. Also we requested a difficult cake, a red and black checkerboard interior cake (on my husbands request) and she made it happen no problem and it turned out great! Exceptional desserts, we absolutely loved the quality and service of Sweets by E!
Evan created the most beautiful and delicious cake for my wedding! For the cake tasting, she provided four samples of my choosing and my husband and mom were also able to attend. She took the time to look at my inspiration photos to make sure that the tiers, icing type, and floral placements matched my vision. We even were able to do a two-tiered cake with two different flavors! The wedding cake was flavorful and moist! Plus, Evan will be providing us with a fresh cake on our 1-year anniversary.
Thank you Evan for creating a gorgeous cake that was oh-so tasty!
Evan made a beautiful naked cake for my wedding day. I got so many compliments on how beautiful and tasty it was! I also ordered mini cupcakes and they were a hit!
I'm so glad we went with Evan and Sweets by E - our cake looked beautiful and tasted incredible. Evan was so easy to work with, from scheduling our tasting to delivery on the wedding day. 100% recommend getting your wedding cake from Sweets by E.
Not only was the cake the most delicious cake we have ever had, but Evan was such a pleasure to work with. She gave us so many options when we were deciding what type of cake we wanted and got to try our top favorites. We gave her an idea of what we wanted, and she created it. The cake was absolute perfection. I'm so happy we ordered extra so we get to enjoy it in the future. All of our guests told us how much they enjoyed both flavors (which were completely different from each other) and asked for her contact info. Get your cake from Evan, it will be the easiest decision when it comes to wedding planning.
Evan was so easy to work with and i was completely happy with my wedding cake. Easiest decision of the wedding. Delicious and beautiful. We ordered a red velvet cake tiered cake for the wedding and a chocolate sheet cake for guests that wanted that flavor. The venue was able to cut and hand out both types. We also ended up ordering our rehearsal dinner cake from her as well. Easy to work with with ordering, paying, and logistics. I definitely recommend Evan to anyone that needs a cake for any event.
I was looking for a simple cake for a small wedding of 20-25 - though it ended up being 19! She was more than willing to work with me (where many other bakeries said they wouldn't make a cake that small!) Evan was timely getting back to me by email, phone, or text. My fiance and I had a hard time deciding on what flavor we wanted as they were all amazing! We settled on chocolate cake with coffee filling, it was TO-DIE-FOR. She was even kind enough to make my mother her own cupcake with a different type of frosting because of a soy allergy! The day we picked up the cake we accidentally dropped the cupcake on the way to the car and she was more than happy to re-piped the frosting for us - crisis averted! My cake looked exactly as I had described to her .. like a tree trunk with our initials carved into the side inside a heart. I would HIGHLY recommend her for your next event!
I loved working with Evan at Sweets by E. I had a very small wedding of less than 20 guests and Evan was still willing to help me with a cake for the reception. Not only was the cake extremely beautiful but the flavor was delicious and so light and fluffy! I highly recommend the almond cake with almond buttercream. It was a huge hit that everyone loved! In addition, I asked if Sweets by E could prepare a special grooms cake. Evan was able to make me the most stunning Guinness glass shaped fondant cake with Guinness chocolate cake and Bailey's cream icing! My groom was SO SURPRISED! It was such a fun addition to the reception and it was an amazing flavor! I cannot wait to order another cake from Sweets by E!
FANTASTIC! We searched for several cake bakers before we decided on Evan. We knew right away that she would be the one. Her friendly personality and delicious cake and creative decorating skills make Evan the perfect choice. The cake turned out beautiful and delicious - everyone loved the way it looked and tasted. We definitely recommend Sweets by E!!
We were looking for a very specific flavor (key lime) for our wedding cupcakes and Evan had that, and more for us to try at our tasting. They were all delicious, and well priced! After signing our contract with her, we decided we also wanted to have a key lime pie to cut. She added that with no problem.
We highly recommend her work!
We chose this bakery because I had a coworker who loved their cupcakes. We did a tasting with Evan and made our decision immediately. She did not charge for the tasting and her prices were better than any others we had seen. We also got to taste her cake at another wedding we had recently been to. All of my guests raved about the cupcakes, and my husband and I loved our chocolate and mint cutting cake. We are excited for our anniversary cake that she includes.
Our groom's cake and wedding cake were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Evan designed an XBOX One cake for the groom's cake, and it looked exactly like the picture. It was so impressive and just as delicious! Similarly, our wedding cake was elegant and delicious. Evan surpassed our expectations, and she was more reasonable than any of the other bakers we met with. She was extremely responsive, and she helped to answer all questions we had. I highly recommend Sweets by E. You will not be disappointed!
The cake that Evan made was delicious! Everyone loved it and I was so happy to bring some home so I could eat it after the wedding. We took Evan a picture and the end result was better than we could imagine.
Great customer service, made planning from a distance, on a budget, a breeze. Everyone raved about the taste (guiness & baileys was the favorite layer) and the cake itself was perfectly decorated.
Evan provided the cake for our wedding in October 2012 at the Carnegie Institute for Science. Evan was a joy to work with! We came to her pretty late in the game, and she was willing (and able!) to help us implement a very specific design (which other bakers seemed to have a problem with) only weeks away from the wedding. The cake was DELICIOUS! She is a very enthusiastic and talented baker, and it really comes through in her work. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, enthusiastic, and reasonably priced baker who can deliver a memorable cake for their wedding.
