    Amazing and beautiful cake!

    Everything about our wedding cake from Monica—the taste, the look, the price—was perfect!

    We came to Monica’s shop a day after having a tasting at a bigger, more commercial bakery the day before, and it was instantly clear that going with Monica was the choice for us. Each of the three flavor samples she prepared for us was so delicious, so the only tough decision was picking between her flavors!

    We had a vision for the type of design we wanted, so we provided Monica with some reference images and requested a few minor tweaks. Monica dropped the cake off with our caterer on the day of the wedding, so we didn’t see it until it was time to cut into it on the night of our reception, and we were soooo happy with how it turned out – our vision come to life! And our guests were raving about how good it tasted – even those who usually don’t love wedding cake!

    We saved half of our cutting cake (wrapped up in the freezer) and we can’t wait to taste it once again on our anniversary!

    Wonderful Baker with amazing flavors

    Monica makes the BEST cakes! She has so many flavor options that are customizable and everything is delicious. Guests loved our cake! She was flexible, communicated well, is fairly priced. She also gave us an extra little container of icing for a family member who loves icing since we got a nearly naked cake. Definitely recommend her for your dessert needs!

    10/10 would recommend

    Monica is amazing to work with! She has a lot of great flavor options. We got to test out three cupcake flavors. We ended up going with lavender vanilla, cookies n cream, and smores. THEY WERE A HIT! Our friends and family are still talking about how delicious they were. And we got a complementary 6in cutting cake. Her services were affordable and exceeded expectations. We would definitely recommend working with Monica

    Monica is the BEST!!

    Monica did a phenomenal job with our wedding cake. She was extremely communicative and helpful with ideas and advice. She is very knowledgable and you can tell she really enjoys her craft. And the cake was absolutely delicious! We're super happy and grateful to Monica for everything!

    We bought a small cutting cake and many mini desserts from Monica for our wedding. The desserts were all incredible!!! Monica is also very easy and pleasant to work with, and her desserts are reasonably priced, especially for the amazing quality.

    Most delicious cake & cookies!!!

    Monica’s creations were a highlight at our wedding! She created a beautiful & delicious collection for our tasting when we weren’t quite sure what direction we wanted to take our dessert options- solely cake, cookies, or dessert table. Right away, the lavender vanilla cake with lemon cream cheese frosting was the winner!

    Drafting our order was so easy with Monica. She provided multiple options to satisfy our guest count and was willing to talk through how to accomplish various possibilities of decoration based on online photos. Monica was so forthcoming to respond to all of our questions! We finalized, but then started debating a change as we approached our final change/ payment date due to the number of our guests that shared dietary restrictions when rsvp-ing for the wedding.

    Monica was awesome in her willingness to experiment in the kitchen to come up with gluten free AND dairy free cookie flavors. She came up with some delicious options and allowed us to amend our order to best suit the needs for our wedding. On the day of the wedding, we blinked and the cookies were GONE to happy guests while the caterers could hardly cut the cake fast enough for the guests clamoring to try it. We can’t wait to have another taste of the lavender vanilla cake on our first anniversary!

    Monica was our baker for our wedding

    We used Monica for a wedding, and she was absolutely wonderful! Our cake was beautiful and she was super easy and great to work with. She also made us a huge dessert table, and everyone has been telling me they were the best cupcakes they’ve ever had. Definitely recommend her for any event!

    Best Wedding Cake!!!

    Monica makes the BEST wedding cakes! I had guests coming up to me telling me how delicious it was and how it was the best cake they have ever had at a wedding! My mom now wants to get all her cakes from Monica.

    Monica was so flexible and responsive with me and my husband during rescheduling our wedding THREE times due to covid! I loved working with Monica! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her and her talent! She really was amazing and dealing with me and Mike changing our minds on the cake a couple of times since covid changed our original plans.

    Thank you Monica! HIRE HER!!

    Highly recommend

    Monica is absolutely delightful. We did a tasting at her studio and everything we tried was SO good. We got a three tiered cake and it looked beautiful on our wedding day! We had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID and she was very flexible working with us to secure our new date. We also ordered mini desserts from Monica: chocolate mousse bombs, cream puffs, cherry streusel tarts, and assorted truffles. All of the dessert items and the cake were incredible! Our guests were coming up to us all weekend to tell us how yummy the cake and each dessert was. Monica was easy to work with and very knowledgeable helping us decide on the right size cake/dessert amount for our guest count. We would highly recommend Monica’s Sugar Studio for your wedding cake/dessert!! Or honestly, for any occasion you are looking to make more delicious!! She’s awesome!

    Absolutely delicious!

    Words cannot describe the compliments we received from out guests about our cake! Monica is so incredible! She was flexible with my husband and I, as we were 4 hours away, and was able to schedule meetings through our times of traveling back to Frederick. She was an easy pick after the first tasting and deciding on the chocolate chip cake (MUST TRY)! Her delivery was so efficient and thoughtful. Monica delivered our cake as close to the reception as possible because of the cold weather (in the 40s on 11.01.19)! She wanted to make sure the buttercream was not hardened at the time of cake cutting. I couldn't recommend her anymore!

    Exceptional

    One less thing you will have to worry about if you order your wedding cake and cupcakes from Monicas Sugar Studio. Cakes and cupcakes are not only beautiful with so much detail, but are very tasty too. So many compliments received from guests. Customer service was exceptional. Monica displayed the cupcakes beautifully. The display added a touch of elegance to the reception.

    Everyone loved the cupcakes!

    Monica was great to work with from the start. It was so hard narrowing down our flavors from the tasting, because we loved them all! Our guests loved the cupcakes and kept asking were we got them from. Monica even did a small cutting cake for us, which was adorable.

    Best Cake We've Ever Tasted

    My husband and I aren't big dessert eaters. We went to taste cakes to please our guests. When we tasted Monica's cakes, we couldn't stop eating them. My husband finished each of his tasting cupcakes. We had carrot cake, cranberry chai, pineapple, and chocolate cupcakes at our wedding. Our guests raved about them! Monica makes amazing and incredibly reasonably priced cakes. We would absolutely recommend her.

    Monica was so amazing to work with. She was always prompt with returning messages and replying to emails, and, most importantly, her baking is DELICIOUS. We had chocolate chip cookies, two lemon cakes, three different flavors of cupcakes, and a carrot cutting cake! I honestly don't know how she does it...it's amazing! Not only did the cupcakes TASTE good; they looked good too! So glad we chose her for our wedding :)

    Monica makes the best wedding cake--both in terms of taste and appearance--hands down. I've been to some weddings where the cake seemed to be more for show than taste, but that's definitely not the case here. The cakes (both a regular cake and cupcakes) she made for our wedding were both delicious and beautiful. 100% recommend.

    Monica’s cupcakes were delicious! We first had a tasting and we chose three cupcake flavors that we wanted to try off of her website. All of them tasted amazing and it was definitely hard to choose only a few flavors for my wedding! I loved all of the examples of cakes/cupcakes she showed us. It helped us decide what we wanted for our wedding. Her prices are very reasonable. The presentation of her cake and cupcakes were amazing! My guests also loved her cupcakes. She delivered my cupcakes during cocktail hour instead of at the beginning of my wedding because it was 90 degrees that day and she wanted to keep them out of the heat. I would definitely recommend using her for your wedding!

    I don't even know where to start! Everything about Monica's Sugar Studio is incredible!! She is the sweetest person I have ever met and her talent is priceless! I have never tasted anything to heavenly in my life! The cake had a lace detail that even the venue couldn't believe! They said out of all the cakes they have seen, they have never seen one as beautiful as this one. I will definitely be using Monica's Sugar Studio for all my cake needs in the future. I recommend booking with her in advance of an event; she fills up really quickly!

    Monica was wonderful to work with. She was always immediately responsive to my emails and communications. During our first meeting we discussed several options for desserts and what favors would work for the event. At the last minute my fiancé wasn’t able to attend the tasting and Monica provided extras to take home for him to taste. She was so accommodating and gracious, even when we had to make several changes the week before the wedding. Unfortunately I never saw her the day of the wedding but everything was fantastic!! All the cookies, cake and most of the cupcakes were eaten. Personally the chocolate raspberry and the cranberry chi cupcakes are to die for. Everything was moist, flavorful and simply delicious. Highly recommend!! My guests are asking about her for their gathering.

    Monica's cupcakes are amazing! We decided to do just cupcakes in place of a wedding cake to provide more variety for our guests and Monica had the best prices in town, not to mention so many award winning flavors! She was so helpful to work with in terms of response time, figuring out flavor options and numbers of our wedding, and really knows her business well. She even created some flavors for me that were not on her typical menu ( the husband loves Birthday Cake flavor anything so she made us this divine vanilla sprinkled birthday cake) Highly recommend her for all your wedding cake/cupcake needs! We have since moved from MD and now cannot wait for our 1st anniversary to get some more!

    Monica provided us with exactly what we were looking for in a wedding cake! It was perfectly simple yet elegant at the same time, not to mention the cake and cupcakes were delicious! Our guests are still talking about how much they loved it. Monica was very responsive and flexible allowing us to make changes and add on things to meet the needs of our guests! I would definitely recommend Monica's Sugar Studio!!

    Everyone was so delighted with Monica's cakes. We had a naked cake for the bride and a Capital's decorated cake with the weagle for the grooms cake. They were both beautiful and everybody was raving how delicious the cakes were. We had a tasting with Monica in her cakery and loved all her flavors. It was so hard to pick because all of them were so good!
    Thank you so much, Monica! You ROCK!

    Monica did an amazing job on our wedding cake and a grooms cake. She was very accommodating when scheduling the cake tasting around my work schedule as a teacher, and even made an appointment later in the evening to accommodate any traffic that my fiance and I might run into. Her cake is the best cake I have ever tasted. We are still eating the grooms cake almost two weeks later and it is still just as moist and delicious as the day of the wedding.

    Monica's cakes are AMAZING. Not only does she do beautiful work, but they are absolutely delicious. The grooms cake she made (of my husband's favorite soccer team) brought him to tears! I highly recommend Monica!

    Monica was on the list of recommended bakers near our venue, ThorpeWood, and it came down to her and one other person. When we tried Monica's versions of chocolate, apple spice, and pumpkin cake, though, we knew we had found the right woman for our wedding. She was also diligent about making sure the style of the frosting was exactly what we wanted: a sort of ombre that evoked the ocean, rising from dark blue at the bottom through a few shades of green to white at the top, underneath our Owl & the Pussycat cake toppers. She got the texture exactly as I wanted to resemble waves. We got tons of comments about how great the cake was, and we were lucky enough to get to take the entire bottom layer home with us (I think I gained 4lbs in the week after). Can't wait for the anniversary layer in a year!

    Monica's cupcakes were soooo delicious. The tasting was great and we loved the cupcakes. We got creative and asked for a cupcake that wasn't on her menu but she accommodated our request and they tasted great (applesauce spice cake with apple pie filling). Everyone at the wedding loved the cupcakes, too. Other flavors included mocha, key lime, raspberry chocolate truffle and smores. We got a two tier cake (strawberry shortcake) as well which was also delicious. They all looked great, too. She even sent an email a week or so afterwards to make sure we were satisfied. Some of my coworkers actually asked for her information and are ordering cupcakes 'just because'. To get out where she is it was a bit far, but that's how much they loved the cupcakes that they're willing to drive that distance. We would highly recommend Monica for her delicious treats at a reasonable price.

    Monica has been so wonderful to work with and very honest. She makes sure that we are getting everything we want for the wedding and is very responsive to emails. She was also the only one to notify us when our first venue fell through so I am forever grateful for her.

    We used Monica's Sugar Studio for our wedding cake. I should start off by saying that my husband and I were winding down after our big day and were talking about each vendor we had and how we felt they did and we both agreed fiercely that the Monica did a wonderful job! I had learned about Monica from a friend that was using her for her wedding as well. It was a pleasure from the beginning, I contacted Monica through email and she got back to me right away about meeting. We met with her at her cute little shop to which she had samples of cake flavors we had chosen from a huge selection she offers. We ultimately decided on a "barely naked cake" with not much icing and the flavors we chose were almond and marble cake with a chocolate gnache filling. Monica was super helpful with recommending a kitchen cake and a smaller display cake to cut down on costs as well as offered us a fabnet discount for being apart of a local bridal network she belongs to, we stayed within budget and were very happy with the price she offered us. She was very good at getting back to me via email and the day of the wedding when she had a question she went directly to the coordinator at the venue to not add any stress on me that day which I appreciated tremendously. She arrived without a peep to set up the cake and it was gorgeous!! We had provided her with fresh flowers from our florist and she added these as well as a topper we provided with no extra charge. All of our guests raved about how delicious and fresh our cake was and lots of people shared photos on facebookbecause seriously.. it was beautiful!!! I had only gotten a bite of the cake for how busy we were but definitely look forward to our 1 year anniversary cake!! I will forever use Monica as our cake lady for special occasions and will always recommend her for an amazing outcome!!

    Do yourself a favor and just go to her! We tried a LOT of cakes and nothing was compared to her cakes! When we tasted her cakes, we knew right away that she was the one! She customized our cake and helped us with the presentation. She is not only a great baker, she is just such a nice, honest and caring person to be around. I was so excited to taste our cake because I have a sweet tooth and we just didn't want to order a cake that no one will eat. Well, the cake was gone! We even ordered more than we needed and it was gone (Hazelnut cake with Belgian Chocolate Mousse). After we cut the cake and tasted it before our guest, I remember walking towards the dance floor and telling our guests " OMG this cake is so delicious, OMG it's so delicious!". Apart from the taste and the texture, Monica did an excellent job decorating the cakes and the cake table. It was so beautiful! I am so happy that we found her! She not only made our wedding extra special, we also found someone that we will order all our special cakes in the future.

    Monica is AMAZING! She is always responding back right away with any questions you may have. She is also open minded to what YOU as the bride & groom would like when it comes to your wedding cake. We were on a budget and Monica was very appreciative with the situation and spent a lot of time finding a combination of cupcakes and cake top in which fit our budget. She is one who is doing it for the love of baking! Everything was delicious and her arrival/setup was very professional and smooth. Thank you SO much Monica!

    Monica was easily my favorite vendor that I worked with during wedding planning! She is organized and detail oriented! She foresaw decisions that I didn't anticipate making, gave great advice, and thought ahead. Our tasting was delicious and we decided to do a cake and various desserts! Our wedding is still two weeks away, but I am confidant that everything will go wonderfully because Monica has really thought of everything!

    Monica provided beautiful and delicious cupcakes and a small cake for our wedding. She was easily accessible via email. She is truly an artist. Her portfolio is amazing. She has some amazing items she has created for past weddings that she has available for rent. For our wedding, we were able to use a beautiful wooden cupcake stand that looked amazing. The cupcakes were delicious. Her prices are fabulous. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

    Monica is absolutely wonderful to work with and amazing at creating beautiful cakes. We went for a tasting and were blown away by some of the flavors we tried and how moist the cakes were. I really wasn't set on how I wanted my cake to look for my wedding and Monica was very patient and responsive to working with me until I had made my final decision. I was absolutely stunned by how gorgeous my cake turned out on my wedding day. She definitely exceeded our expectations! I would highly recommend!!!

    My name is Mark and I own a local wedding venue in the Frederick area. Monicas cakes are the only ones that we recommend to our brides.
    They are beautiful and delicious, that is not always a combination you will find with all wedding cakes.
    I recently had to plan my mother's 80th birthday party, there was no one else I thought of except for Monica.
    My mother who is a very particular woman, was quite impressed with the cake and the taste.
    Thank you so much for making her party delicious. You are truly an artist with food.

    Monica is absolutely wonderful, she is very responsive by both email and phone. She scheduled us for a tasting where we tasted some of the best cake we've ever had! She is very well priced and her portfolio of cakes she's done is amazing! She is truly a very talented baker and artist! We love Monica and would recommend her to everyone!

    Monica was extremely helpful when I couldn’t decide exactly how I wanted our wedding cake to look. She gave me a ton of different options and design ideas that were cost effective and beautiful. We were able to meet with her twice before the wedding, once for a tasting (lemon cake with blackberry filling was our favorite!) and once for design purposes. On our wedding day the cake was stunning. She was able to capture all of my ideas and bring it to life in one beautiful cake. Thank you Monica!

    Monica was a word of mouth referral and I couldn't have been happier. She was very easy to work with and the cake itself was stunning! I provided her a few pictures of what I liked and she absolutely nailed it (better, even, than the pics I sent in the first place!).

    I had many compliments from my guests because the cake was soo delicious. We got a filling of chocolate cake, chocolate ganache, and chocolate mousse (it was heaven!).

    I would highly recommend Monica!!

    Monica's Sugar Studio was recommended to us by our vendor and we are so glad they told us about her!

    We had five tiers in four different flavors, and each one was amazing (or so I've heard since I didn't actually get to eat any myself...). If you have Monica bake your wedding cake don't make that same mistake. Her cakes are really too good to miss!!! Thankfully we have the anniversary cake she made for us (included in the price of the cake, so you don't have to worry about saving the top tier day-of).

    We were so impressed by our tasting with her that I emailed her the next day and asked for her help to make a surprise Millennium Falcon grooms-cake for my husband. It was a huge hit at the rehearsal dinner.

    Great value, great to work with, and the end product is to die for.

    Monica and her cakes are amazing. I'm a big lover of cakes and it was important to me for our wedding cake to taste homemade. Monica's cake provided exactly that taste.

    The entire process of planning was made easy by Monica-from the tasting to the day of set up. We decided on cupcakes for our wedding and Monica was able to provide and set up the entire display and colors to match our wedding.

    Monica was kind, helpful, and friendly throughout our experience. The cupcakes were amazing and her service cannot be beat. I highly recommend Monica's Sugar Studio.

    Monica designed an amazing art deco style wedding cake for our wedding at the Weinberg Center for the Arts last month. The cake was a piece of art and complemented our décor and the venue perfectly. The cake was delicious. We had three different flavors that were all so good, my favorite was the strawberry shortcake.

    My cake from Monica's Sugar Studio was beautiful and delicious! Monica was so wonderful to deal with and I was very happy with her responsiveness. She has a wide range of flavors available and she was really able to tailor the cake to exactly what I wanted. I loved the cake tasting as well. I would recommend using Monica's Sugar Studio to any future bride. I received many guest compliments on my cake.

    Monica is fantastic! She is very thorough and truly cared about providing exactly what we wanted and making sure we were happy with our cake. It looked beautiful and most importantly, tasted delicious! She has a wide variety of flavors to choose from and we were able to have three different ones for our cake, and all were excellent. We got many compliments on the cake from our guests! She is also very reasonably priced, especially compared to many other vendors in the area. Definitely give Monica's cakes a try, they won't disappoint!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Monica and her cakes. She was recommended to us by the owner of our venue (Walker's Overlook) and he definitely pointed us in the right direction.

    We first met Monica when we went to her studio for a taste test. My husband is allergic to eggs, so we were worried cake wouldn't be an option, but Monica was up for the challenge. She experimented with her recipes until she was able to create four eggless flavors for us to taste. On top of it, she created another three egg-filled flavors for me to taste -- it was incredibly considerate and generous on her part. She was helpful throughout the taste test and full of suggestions about different flavor pairings we might try.

    When it came time to order the cake, we were fairly concerned about the price. Monica spent a good deal of time talking with us about our options and pricing it all out for us. She was one of the few vendors where it genuinely felt like she had our best interests in mind. In the end, we decided to have a three-tiered cake for the presentation, but only have the top layer be real. Then, Monica baked four different cake flavors in sheet cake form so we could actually serve those pieces. Each flavor had a unique decoration that made it appear much fancier than just a piece of sheet cake. Each piece was scrumptious and I received several compliments from our guests on the taste. Several guests went back for seconds and thirds, in fact!

    Monica is a true professional and I encourage everyone to check out her beautiful, tasty treats.

    Monica's cupcakes for our wedding were delicious. We got many complements from our guests! Most cakes at weddings can be dry but Monica's were perfectly moist. My husband and I tried all five flavors between the two of us and they were ALL amazing. Her prices are reasonable and worth it for the quality of the product. She is great with suggestions on how to make each individual flavor the most delicious. The next event we need cake for we will absolutely come back to Monica!

    My husband and I did a variety of flavors of 300 cupcakes. My husband and I didn't get to have a single one at our wedding because everyone loved them so much! They were decorated BEAUTIFULLY and they tasted even better than they looked. Monica is so sweet and was so accommodating to what we wanted. She can be slow about responding, but she's running this business by herself! She's on top of everything!
