    The Sweetest Ending to Perfect Night

    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!

    The Perfect Wedding Cake!

    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!

    So yummy & delish

    Absolutely DELISH! Evan was so great to work with (a JMU alum like myself!) We were able to sample a variety of different flavors, as well as she made our sweet dreams come true. Our guests raved about every cupcake flavor - there were no leftovers! Flavors: Lemon Cake with Raspberry Buttercream, Cinnamon-Brown Sugar Cake with Vanilla Buttercream, Chocolate Cake with Cookies & Cream Buttercream, Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Cupcakes were so easy for our guests to grab and enjoy it was perfect. We had a Funfetti cake with vanilla buttercream sweetheart cake that was the most perfect size for us to cut and take pictures with, as well as safe for our anniversary. SO yummy! 10/10!

    Perfect minimalist, modern cake

    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 fantastic and did an incredible job with our wedding cake. It was timeless and tasted fantastic. She is very easy to work with and cannot recommend more! We’ll be back for other life events for sure!!

    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).

    Beautiful and tasty creations!!

    We can’t speak highly enough of Evan’s cakes! We knew as soon as we tasted her options that we had to choose one for our wedding. The tiered cake turned out even more beautifully than we imagined, and all the guests raved about the combination of the lemon curd and raspberry filling! It was a perfect addition to our day - and we can’t wait to have more on our anniversary!

    Amazing wedding cake!

    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!

    The best wedding cake ever

    Book Sweets By E for your wedding! Seriously. We are both huge dessert fans, so picking a cake that tasted as wonderful as it looked was important to us. Evan created the cake of our dreams, even going out of her way to save us money on decorative flowers. It was the best tasting wedding cake us and many guests have had, and that's really saying something! We're still dreaming about her chocolate cake with oreo filling.

    Delicious!

    We ordered our wedding cake from Sweets By E and it was absolutely beautiful and delicious! Before the cake tasting we had a family emergency and she was easily able to reschedule. After the tasting she was able to send me a photo of exactly what I wanted the cake the look like and it was ready with no hassle for our wedding. We had the chocolate cake with peanut butter filling, 10/10 recommend (I’m normally not even a fan of chocolate cake but it was amazing!)

    Delicious cake, incredible experience!

    I highly recommend Sweets by E for your wedding cake needs! From the moment we first connected with Evan, her expertise in the industry was evident. She was able to provide recommendations (all of which we are grateful we ran with!) around how much to order, when to have her deliver and flavor breakdowns for guest preferences -- things that we would have been lost on without her guidance. We ultimately worked with her to order a small cutting cake as well as several flavors of cupcakes for the guests. For the cutting cake, we had a rough idea of what colors and designs we were interested in, and Evan was able to create a beautiful cake design based on our rough brainstorm — we were so impressed! It must also be noted that all of her flavors, many of which are very innovative and creative — as well as more traditional flavors — are absolutely delicious. Despite the high volume of business that we know she has, Evan made the experience so personable and was incredibly responsive. I highly recommend Evan and Sweets by E!

    Evan is the cake baker you can trust for your big day!

    Evan was the perfect wedding vendor. She took our vision and made it a reality, and it was magically beautiful and tasty! As an amateur cake baker and dessert lover, I had high expectations for the chef who was making our wedding cake. Throughout the entire process, Evan was extremely responsive and helpful in answering all of our questions. She made sure we were comfortable with our chosen flavors (a tasting once before we signed and then she was so generous to let us try three flavors closer to the big day). From the moment we got to know Evan. we knew we were in good hands and she brought our cake dreams to life. The pictures of the cake are some of our favorites!

    DO NOT even think about using anyone else for your wedding cake except for E!!

    E was incredibly responsive from the beginning of the entire process. She was professional during our tasting (unlike another cake vendor that we came across!), she gave us a ton of different cake options and listened to exactly what we wanted. She worked closely with us on the cake design and delivered exactly what we wanted. We were so happy with how everything had gone for our wedding cake planning that we even had E make our rehearsal dinner cake for us! E made us a really awesome Maryland themed rehearsal dinner cake and was even flexible in making it in 2 different flavors. Even though E will make you a top tier for your 1st anniversary, our venue saved the top tier for us and we got to enjoy it after our honeymoon (and it still tasted delicious!) Couldn't be happier with E's work and will definitely be going to her for any of our future baking needs :)

    Simply the BEST!

    If you are looking for a wedding cake in the DMV area, look no further! I have only positive things to say about my experience working with Evan and Sweets by E. Every step of the process was smooth and easy. We ended up going with a two-tier cake (top layer=funfetti, bottom layer = lemon w/ lemon curd). Both were amazing but guests RAVED about the lemon. So many guests said they had never tasted a better wedding cake...nor had they seen such a pretty wedding cake. Often times you either pick the flavor of the wedding cake OR the appearance. However, with Evan...you get the best of both worlds! Our venue was so impressed by the cake that they asked for her information. PLUS she was so affordable, especially given the high quality. 11/10...thank you SO much, Evan!

    Beautiful and Delicious

    We booked Sweets by E for our Wedding and Evan brought our vision of the cake to life. We did a tasting and choosing our cake was so tough because they were all so delicious. With planning during the pandemic, we had to make last-minute decisions and adjustments. Evan was super flexible and easy to work with. She was able to take us in only a few weeks before the wedding. Thank you Evan!

    Delicious and Beautiful

    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!

    Wedding cakes as gorgeous as they are delicious!

    I would highly recommend Sweets by E for your wedding cake. Evan's cake was as gorgeous as it was delicious!! Evan held the tasting in her industrial kitchen, which was so fun. The tasting was so yummy, and after much debate we decided to go with cookies and cream and vanilla cake with fresh strawberries - all of our guests raved about them both!

    Best Gluten Free!!

    As someone with a dietary restriction, I was anxious about finding and affordable and good wedding cake. Sweets By E exceeded my expectations. Not only could I do a gluten free tasting, but guests at the wedding were questioning if it was actually gluten free because it was SO GOOD! I can't speak for her gulten-filled selections, but everyone at attendance raved about our cupcakes. I was extremely happy to not only be able to eat cake at my wedding, but to have someone who would create that experience for me!

    Delicious and Beautiful Cake!

    Evan's cake was amazing for our wedding. We decided we wanted to have a dessert bar but we didn't want to totally forgo the tradition of cake cutting. The cake was beautiful and I got so many compliments from my guests that this was the best cake they had ever had at a wedding. Evan was so easy to work with and the cake was perfection!

    Evan is Superb!

    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!

    Amazing experience

    Evan was one of the easiest vendors we worked with in planning our wedding. We were in and out of her studio within 20 minutes with a complete idea of what our cake would look like, the flavors, and the cost. The cake was exactly as we had designed based on the pictures she had ready to go when we first met. Plus, the cake was DELICIOUS and the price was very reasonable. We are still eating the leftovers. 😊 Thank you, Evan, for sharing our day with us!

    Perfect Hokie Cake

    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!

    Beautiful cakes and a lovely person!

    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 encouraged it and made it work!
