    Book Buttercream for your wedding day!

    Tiffany and the entire team at Buttercream were so friendly, kind, and responsive. They made the planning process stress-free, and just as importantly, make delicious and beautiful cakes! They were able to bring our cake vision to life from a Pinterest picture, and everyone raved about our funfetti cake and dark chocolate cakesicles. Even the delivery process was seamless. We highly recommend Buttercream!

    Delicious and Beautiful Design!

    This vendor was part of our wedding package through The Line Hotel, and they were wonderful. The tasting was efficient, and we had multiple favorites! Ultimately, the guests loved the cake and it was decorate to perfectly align with our wedding theme.

    Amazing, as always

    We are neighbors and frequent customers of Buttercream Bakeshop and we were thrilled to find out they were available to bake for our wedding. The cake tasting experience was great and involved about seven flavor varieties and seven frosting varieties to mix and match. The staff had the best combinations made already, and we chose the lemon cake with strawberry buttercream and the s'mores cake (both in their set of defaults). We added on a number of desserts like macarons, citrus bars, and cookie pies. Every single thing was a hit!

    Cake as delicious as it is gorgeous

    I absolutely loved the service and the cake-sampling experience. Buttercream was responsive and easy to work with, and flexible with us when we couldn't decide which of the yummy cake flavor to go with (we wound up getting both flavors). It was also stunning to look at!

    Stress free perfection

    Buttercream Bakeshop never disappoints. This cake was so incredibly delicious. The staff helped me come up with a design that complemented the theme of our party and included the flavors the client preferred. This cake is an elderflower soaked cake with blackberry lavender buttercream.The staff was so accommodating and they communicated via email and text to ensure I was able to get my order in before the cut off time. I highly recommend their services for your next event.

    Amazing Cake!!!!

    Tiffany and her team are extremely professional. They responds so quickly and always on top of things. We got a dummy cake for cutting and sheet cake for servings. This is the best decision we made since our wedding day was 95 degree. The cake also almost got knock over several times but it's super stable and in perfect condition by the end of the night. I still cannot get over how pretty was our wedding cake. As for serving cake, it's so delicious and not too sweet since we got the Italian buttercream. My family was fighting for leftover cake the next day since it tastes even better on the second day.

    Delicious & Beautiful Cakes!!

    Buttercream bakeshop is amazing!!! We had such a hard time picking our flavors during the tasting because they were all so yummy. We ended up going with two flavors, since we had a larger guest count - one was almond cake, blueberry jam, and cream cheese frosting, and the other was vanilla cake, passionfruit curd, and coconut milk frosting. They were both phenomenal and received rave reviews from our guests! Our only regret was that we cut the cake right before the dance floor opened up and we were having such a fun time dancing that not everyone had a chance to eat their piece! But would 10/10 recommend Buttercream Bakeshop for any special (or ordinary) occasions where you want tasty cake & a beautiful presentation! The staff are super friendly, very responsive and creative, and were a pleasure to work with from start to finish!

    The most delicious cake!

    I am a HUGE cake person, so a delicious cake was extremely important to me on my wedding day. Buttercream absolutely delivered! We tasted several bakeries in the area and buttercream was the standout. I'm still thinking about the almond cake with chambord frosting. I will say that (1) our 3 tier cake was leaning pretty far over by the time we cut it after dinner - I think this just happens sometimes and it was fine, but our family was a little concerned it would tip over! (ended up being fine) and (2) the decoration on the cake wasn't quite what we were expecting. I would probably recommend a decor scheme similar to work they've done in the past, or something more patterned/abstract. That being said, the decor wasn't nearly as important as the actual taste of the cake to me, so it's definitely still a 5/5 from me!

    Stunning cake & excellent service!

    As soon as we started planning our wedding, we knew we wanted a cake from Buttercream! We got in touch and they couldn't have been better to work with. The guided tasting box they provided helped us figure out our perfect flavor combination-- vanilla cake with coconut buttercream and passionfruit curd. We also decided to accompany the cake with a number of their dessert bites, which all got rave reviews! Would highly recommend them to anyone in the great DC area.

    The most delicious cake ever

    Cake is literally my favorite food... I've been known to eat upwards of 8 pieces of wedding cake at other weddings. I'm rather famous for it actually. So for my own wedding, the cake was one of the most important things to me. I wanted it to be GOOD cake above all else -- a pretty cake that doesn't taste amazing is not really cake! Buttercream knocks it out of the park on both fronts. The cake is as delicious as cake can get -- truly insane. And they offer so many amazing flavors! We ended up with three different ones because it was so hard to choose. And then on top of the cake being absolutely amazing... their designs are gorgeous. We did both a traditional beautiful cake and a fun groomscake that we designed special. Both exceeded our expectations. If you're in the DC Metro area, you must work with Buttercream!

    Such a lovely treat

    Our wedding cake was beautiful and delicious - an elderflower-soaked lemon cake with blackberry jam and vanilla buttercream (as amazing as it sounds!). Buttercream perfectly matched the color & design to the aesthetic for our event.

    Food as Art. The wedding cake of our dreams!

    Can I just say, WOW. Buttercream. They are not just bakers, they are ARTISTS. We were blown away by our cake. From the significant attention to deal to the flavorful layers, we literally could not have asked for a more perfect cake. The Buttercream team deserves so many kudos!!! I will definitely be ordering personal cakes in the future because we literally can't get enough. From the delicate designs on the Capitol dome to the beautiful calligraphy, we were SO happy with the final product!! And I haven't gotten to the groom's cake! If you love chocolate, definitely go for the devils food cake, it was HEAVENLY.

    Absolutely Delicious!!!

    We had a wonderful experience working with Tiffany and Buttercream Bakery. When we first reached out to Buttercream Bakery, Tiffany was quick to respond with the requested information and shared a beautiful lookbook/magazine with photos and descriptions. Due to COVID, we did not have an in-person consultation/tasting. Instead, Buttercream offered to-go tasting boxes (which we liked). We selected a three tiered blueberry/almond cake (a surprise tasting winner) with italian buttercream dressing. As we approached our April 2021 wedding date, DC still had their Phase II social distancing guidelines in place. With our reduced guest list, Tiffany generously adjusted our order (# of slices). Our wedding cake was a DREAM and DELICIOUS! Even my parents, who can be tough food critics, commented how moist and tasty it was. We look forward to picking up our freshly baked anniversary next year!

    Great Cake in DC

    We had a two tier cake for our wedding with two unique flavor combinations. We loved our tasting at the shop with Tiffany and the cake was beautiful. Exactly what we wanted from a bakery on our wedding - delicious, beautiful and a vendor that was easy to work with!

    Cream puff perfection!

    These cream puffs were THE HIT for our small backyard wedding reception! We had a cake (not provided by Buttercream), but, it was overshadowed by these delicious puffs. Everyone asked where we got them, and kept going back to get more or try to choose one with a different flavor (we had mocha and vanilla, and the icy had gold flecks. A lovely upscale touch!). These are unlike anything I've had from anywhere else - just absolute perfection. Having something fancy and unexpected like this really made our unconventional wedding feel a little more special. I even had a friend sneak several into my car so I would be sure to have a few as we drove away (because you can be sure that there were no leftovers!) Thank you Buttercream!

    Guest ate almost every slice

    The cake was not only generous, but delicious. My fiancé and I each selected our signature flavor and both of us had guests come up and compliment the cake. They said it was so moist and one of the best wedding cakes they had ever eaten. We choose the lemon/berry flavor and the s’mores.

    Beautiful and Delicious Cake

    Buttercream Bakeshop did a phenomenal job with our cake! From the beginning, they make sure to understand what you want so they can effectively capture your design and provide you with a final product that you will love. Our cake turned out beautifully, and I know based on all of the designs I looked at that whether you choose fondant or buttercream or classic elegant to fun and colorful, they will do an amazing job. And even more important, the cake was so tasty. We received a ton of compliments on the cake and we also loved each flavor. It was so difficult to choose because everything we tasted was excellent. I highly recommend going to Buttercream for any cake or pastry needs!

    Amazing gluten free cake

    Our cake was one of the most important decisions for the wedding. As a home baker I knew I wanted the cake to not only be stunning but also taste delicious, OH and be gluten free. Buttercream delivered, the cake was stunning and we received lots of compliments on it. It also tasted fantastic. The flavor options are also unique and flavors I did not see at other bakeries.

    Perfectly Personalized Cake

    Tiffany and the team at Buttercream did an incredible job on our cake. They work exclusively with our venue (The Line), so we were fortunate to be able to have them do our cake. We were able to customize the flavors and they worked with us to blend our slightly differing ideas of design. They also helped us add our own touches to the cake, including the creation of a gum-paste version of our kitty!
