    If you want a deliciously scrumptious cake, Custom Cake Design is where you have to go!!!! :) My husband and I attended the monthly tasting and we really had a hard time choosing flavors because they were all just incredibly yummy!!! Although the white raspberry was my absolute favorite (to die for!!!), my husband chose the almond flavor and so we felt we should have a dark cake too...so we went with the chocolate raspberry. The cake itself was an absolute dream. :) I wanted to have the design on the cake match the design of my wedding invitations and the cake far exceeded my expectations. It was absolutely gorgeous!!!!! Everyone commented how stunningly beautiful the cake was and we were beyond pleased. It was exactly what we had dreamed of and more. :) We also had a beautiful chocolate fondue table set up by Custom Cake Design and that was the real hit of the evening. All of our guests were in chocolate heaven!!!! I would highly recommend this company as you will not only have excellent service, but very happy tummies as well. :) I want to especially thank Raquel and Nancy for their supreme service, care and helpfulness with everything, it was truly a pleasure to work with them. Right now I am impatiently waiting for another event (birthday, baby shower, anniversary, anything!) to come along so I can order another cake with them...this time in the white raspberry, LOL!!!! :)

    Custom Cake Design couldn't have done a better job on our cake. We provided a photo of a cake we found on Google and they replicated it perfectly including the detailed piping and fondant color. Their cakes are moist, fluffy, and delicious. The icings are not too sugary/sweet and even the fondant tastes good. The staff was incredible to work with. They take pride in their work and it shows!

    I really love the wedding cake. It was definitely what I was looking for. I gave Rachel 3 different pictures of wedding cakes and I told her my idea, she got everything that I wanted on my wedding cake. It was very difficult for me to trust somebody because I am a very picky person. Custom Cake Design was wonderful with my design.

    I ordered this wedding cake on line from Texas. Rachel was so helpful, and the cake was a white simple design # 55 . She added some red roses and baby's breath and an initial to the top of a two tiered cake . Not only was it beautiful, it was delicious...moist cake with a wonderful light fluffy frosting. We were extremely happy with the design and taste!! I recommend them highly!!

    We got a cake for our wedding day! My fiancé and parents all went to the cake tasting and we were greeted by Raquel, the owner. She was SO sweet and helpful and we had a great variety of cake flavors. The cake was so moist and had great flavor. Of course, cake is always good at the tasting but I was curious if it would taste just as good on our big day! I have been to many weddings where the cake is usually dry or not very flavorful. First off, when I saw the cake on our wedding day, I was VERY pleased with how beautiful the cake was! Even more pleasing, was how delicious and moist the cake was! We got so many great compliments on the cake from our guest! Custom Cake Design is the way to go-- you won't be disappointed!!

    Custom Cake Design is a great place for any type of cake. We were provided a cake tasting of all the flavors of cake. We explain to the staff what kind and design of cake we wanted. They was eager to help us design the perfect cake. The price was very reasonable. Everyone love it. They also provided instruction to store the cake and a box to save the top layer cake for our 1 year anniversary. If your looking for the perfect cake with a reasonable price then Custom Cake Design is the place to go it.

    Wedding cake was included in our hotel reception package from this vendor. We chose basic cake which was very nice - several flavor choices. Can't really speak to extensive negotiations or pricing as we did not get into this aspect. Very pleased all in all.

    Custom Cake Design is an excellent company to work with! I worked with them to provide cupcakes for my wedding. Everyone associated with the business was professional, responsive, and extremely competent. I waited until the last minute to figure out my cake plans, and they were completely willing to accomodate me, even to the point of staying late one night so that I could pick up cupcake samples after work.

    The final product was beyond my best expectation and truly a highlight of the wedding. The cupcakes were creative and beautiful, and most importantly they were moist and delicious. During planning, I had only a vague idea of what I wanted the cupcakes to look like. I gave Custom Cake Design a color scheme and a general theme to work with. The final design surpassed my best expectations.

    I'd highly recommend CCD for anyone planning a wedding or other event.

    AMAZING! On top of the open house cake tasting once a month, they work very well to schedule personal cake tastings. The white raspberry was so good - all of our guests loved it! My aunt was even happy that we had brought home extra so she was able to have another piece the next day.

    We engaged Custom Cake Design to provide the cake for our daughters wedding. We scheduled a meeting with Raquel who reviewed the catalog of designs and walked us through the display case of beautiful model cakes. After selecting a style, we were offered several samples of freshly baked cake flavors, upon which, we selected the vanilla/marble flavor with the butter cream icing. The cake was delivered on time and setup as requested and added to the beauty of the day. After the cake was served, we received many compliments and recall one in particular from a family friend with considerable experience in catering special events. She shared "this is the most delicious wedding cake I have ever tasted!". The compliments echoed our sentiment that CCD's cake added to the beauty of the day and contributed to the success of our daughters wedding day.

    We absolutely loved our cake from Custome Cake Design! As was true with a lot of other reviewers, the cake came as part of the package for our hotel/reception site. I was a bit worried that when I arrived for our tasting we would be treated differently since we were part of a package, but that was so not the case!

    We wound up upgrading our cake from what was included in the package. The package was a bit limiting, but we were able to find something that was an upgrade but still fit in our budget.

    Custom Cake was incredibly responsive and whenever we sent them an email we hear back the same day! We received numerous compliments on the cake at the reception.

    PS-The tasting was so much fun!

    It was such a pleasure working with Sarai! She is an amazing artist. Not to mention the cake is DELICIOUS! I received lots of feedback from my guests saying the cake was very very good! Not too many bakers can make a wedding cake taste good! I highly recommend Custom Cake Design!

    Raquel and the staff at Custom Cake Design were very friendly and helpful in choosing and customizing our cake. The cake turned out even better than we anticipated. We didn't want to cut it, but after taking many pictures everyone enjoyed eating it. I would return to Custom Cake Design in the future.

    Our cake was absolutely delicious -- I only wish we had gotten a bigger cake so we could have had more leftovers. Highly recommend the white chocolate with the raspberry filling.

    Vendor was very responsive and professional. She allowed us to pick and choose elements that we liked from her showroom display to make our perfect cake. She did exactly as we requested and we've received many compliments. Definitely the most affordable and high quality cake vendor in the Gaithersburg area. Highly recommend.

    This vendor was a no-brainer! We didn't want to search high and low for a bakery and Custom Cake Design had some really great reviews so we visited them for one of their open houses. We knew right away we would go with them, but then we had to choose the flavor, design, etc. which can be really difficult. We went back to the next month's open house to finalize these details and order the cake. There are A LOT of pictures actual cakes in their store to look at to help you make your decision. The ordering process was extremely easy and we had zero issues with Custom Cake Design. They arrived earlier than expected on the wedding day and were so pleasant to work with. My mom surprised me for my Bridal Shower and ordered the cake PLUS COOKIES from them also. The cookies are BEAUTIFUL and DELICIOUS...a big hit with all the bridal shower guests, and my now husband really enjoyed the left over cookies, too.

    Custom cake design did an amazing job on our wedding cake. When we walked in to their bakery we already had the cake designed, and Raquel and Jean were thrilled to make it a reality. Even with the idea in our heads, they helped chose just the right colors and price that fit our budget. The detail that was put in to the cake made us sad to even cut it, it was just so beautiful. Everybody from our wedding complimented the design and how yummy it tasted too. Can't wait to eat our 1 year anniversary cake top!!

    Raquel knew exactly what I wanted and made it happen! Our cake was beautiful and delicious! Everyone was asking if we had leftovers of cake and where we got it from! I would recommend her for any type of special occasion cake!

    Custom Cake Design did a fabulous job with the cake for my wedding! They were the third bakery I went to for a tasting and, after having been disappointed at the other two, I was very impressed with Custom Cake Design. First, the cakes are delicious. Also, there are SO MANY CHOICES, it's amazing! I think we sampled at least 20 kinds of cake :) As an added bonus, it turns out that their frosting is actually dairy-free, even though it tastes like some of the best buttercream you've ever had. This is great for those of us with dairy intolerances! All of my friends and family were raving about the cake, and at least a few people were asking who the bakery was so that they could get cake there in the future! We went for a fairly simply cake design and it looked beautiful. I highly recommend CCD!
