    Attack on titan

    This bakery will be my bakery for LIFE! The way they helped me decide the flavors and how flexible they were with my requests!! The way the cake turned out to be! I am in awe! Cake was supposed to be enough for 10 people but it was so big to feed more people than that! I love it so much and i will always recommend!

    Yummy cake and nice design

    We worked with CCD through our venue, Milton Ridge. During our tasting we were met with so many delicious flavors and cake styles! Everything was so nice and so yummy it was difficult to choose. We ended with butter rum and a lemon raspberry cake. Our guests were in LOVE! So moist and tasted just as good as it did during the tasting. Our cake design was talked through and the finished product was very on theme for our wedding.

    Graduation cake

    The graduation cake for my grandson was beautiful! Delicious red velvet with buttercream icing. The attendees were amazed at how delicious the cake was and how talented the cake designer did. I will definitely use custom cakes again.

    Everyone will be talking about the cake

    We have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience. The tasting made it hard to choose! but we ended up going with a three tier cake - vanilla with dulce de Leche filling, strawberry cake with strawberry filling and pineapple cake with a vanilla filling. I highly recommend!! I’m glad we ordered for more people than we had because they all wanted to try every flavor. When we had to postpone our wedding, Custom Cake was understanding and worked with us. I hope to have them make our cakes for future events as well.

    Always Exceeds Expectations

    This is the 3rd or 4th time I've used Custom Cake Design for landmark birthday events (60, 80, 90). Each time, I present ideas, discuss options and the outcome always exceeds my and my family's expectations. The cakes are always original, beautiful, and delicious. My family is hooked on the white raspberry flavor. I'm not kidding when I say that my family longs for someone to hit one of the decade birthdays so I'll order a cake. Raquel just helped me with my Mom's 90th including cake, cupcakes, cake pops with delivery and setup. Hopefully, I can attach pics so you can see what I mean.

    Custom Cake Design's reply:

    Thank you!!!!!! Jennifer!!!!
    Always a pleasure for us to work with you and your family and to be part of those memorable moments.
    CCD team!

    Highly recommend!

    Custom Cake Design provided the cakes for our wedding and we would highly recommend using them for your wedding or any event you are planning. They worked with us up front to understand what we were looking for and then they created a custom proposal for us. And we had a great experience at our cake tasting where we got to try a lot of different options and finalize our cake choices. We did a primary wedding cake for cutting and then a secondary sheet cake that was also provided to guests. The cakes were delivered by them directly to the venue on-time on our wedding day and they perfectly captured EXACTLY what we were looking for and brought the vision to life. The cakes tasted incredible also - we received so many compliments from guests that they enjoyed the cake! A huge thank you to Raquel from Custom Cake Designs who was our primary point of contact and was very friendly, helpful and responsive. If you need a custom cake (or other dessert) for a special event, look no further than Custom Cake Designs!

    Custom Cake Design's reply:

    Thank you so much Melissa!!!!
    Always appreciated to have a opportunity to be a part of the very important day on your life and to work with you two, very nice couple!
    All the best and happiness for you guys!

    Great Job!

    Raquel and her team did an awesome job of doing cupcakes and our top cake for our wedding. She was quick to respond on emails and was very flexible when our original venue cancelled, and we were looking for a new one. Her team delivered the cupcakes and cupcake stand to the venue with no issues and they tasted and looked awesome. Highly recommend!

    Delicious Retirement Cake & Cupcakes!!!!

    We were planning the retirement party for the CEO of our company and Raquel helped us right from the inception of the cake design to setting up the cake and cupcakes for the event. She was patient and listened to our ideas, she provided her recommendations and worked with us at every step of the way during the planning process and captured perfectly all the elements of the design that we wanted to incorporate in the cake and cake topper. The cake and cupcakes were DELICIOUS!!! They were an instant hit with the employees. We highly recommend Raquel and the Custom Cake Design to anyone planning an event- big or small.

    What a wonderful experience! I worked with Custom Cakes to make my mom's 60th birthday cake. The cake came out perfect and beyond anything we expected. My mom was so excited! The entire process was made so easy for me by the staff. They did exactly what they said they would from beginning to delivery. Highly recommend!!!

    The cake was amazing! We did a tasting to pick the right flavor and it arrived on time, looked beautiful, and tasted delicious! They delivered from Maryland to Virgina with a very reasonable fee. They even included the box for the top tier with instructions on how to save it!

    Our wedding cake looked amazing and tasted delicious! They have so many flavors we had a hard time deciding and ended up getting a couple different cupcake flavors with our cake. Everyone said how good they were. They contacted me ahead of time to make sure everything was how I wanted and delivered the cake to our venue. Would definitely recommend!

    Custom Cake Design's reply:

    Thanks so much for the feedback Jessica.
    Our goal is to provide our customers the best products ever.
    Please kip us in mind for further orders, and we are happy to hear that everybody enjoyed the cake.

    Delicious cake!! We received so many compliments about the cake! It tasted so good and the service was great. Raquel and her team made everything so easy from the tasting to Sunday delivery. They also send the top layer of cake home with instructions about how to freeze and save it to enjoy on our anniversary. We will definitely use them again for other occasions!

    I bought my daughter's wedding cake from Custom Cakes. It was a 3-tiered round design that served 110 people. It was beautiful and delicious. I ordered their signature flavor of white raspberry with a buttercream frosting. It was decorated with fondant "ribbons".
    The staff is professional and friendly. And the cake tasting is such fun! Recommended.

    We went to about 5 different places to taste wedding cake before this one and none of them could have provided better services or tastier cake then Custom Cake Design. First off, we went in for a tasting and the employee/owner was nice and professional and gave enough samples for my mom, husband, and myself to enjoy multiple bites of each one (you would expect that anyway but the other places either gave tiny samples which were not enough for everyone to taste or they gave us cupcakes). After trying the cake, we knew they would be our vendor, we ate every single part of the big sample she gave us. The wedding cake they made us was beautiful, exactly how we wanted it, and everyone raved about the taste and texture of it (it was spongy and moist and perfect). The price was incredible too, we paid less than $600 dollars for an 80 person 3 tier cake and a 30 person sheet cake - compared to over $1000 at a couple other places. We will be buying cake from there just to eat!
