    Excellent experience and delicious cake.

    Working with The Cake Room was a great experience. We met with Fadi to assist us in getting our wedding cake’s vision correct and he helped us out to get everything perfect. The delivery went smoothly and the cake was delicious.

    Loved the cake!

    We got our wedding cake from The CakeRoom, my favorite bakery in DC. Not only does the shop smell like heaven on earth, but the cake was amazing. We wanted a simple, great-tasting cake and The CakeRoom delivered (literally, all the way to Olney MD which was fabulous). All our guests loved it, and I'm incredibly jealous because in all the craziness of the reception my husband and I only got the bites we fed each other at the cake cutting (which tasted great). I plan on going to the bakery sometime soon to get us each a big slice to enjoy!

    Helpful, professional and delicious!

    Ordering a cake we desperately needed at the last minute was handled so smoothly by the staff and owner. We come here regularly and already love all their delicious treats, but they really came through for us when we needed it. So happy with their cakes and service!

    Delicious Cakes and a Great Experience

    We had ordered from Cakeroom before so we knew they made delicious cakes (and cupcakes, for that matter!), but we were even more impressed with their wedding cakes -- and how they were willing to work with us to find the perfect cake(s) for our wedding. We didn't want a huge "traditional" wedding cake, so we went with two smaller "cutting" cakes and supplemented with sheet cake to feed everyone. The Cakeroom staff was super helpful in helping us think through how many servings we'd need and what designs we might like (we went with simple...except for the rainbow sprinkles on one of our cakes!). Also, just to underscore, ALL their cakes are so good...we almost hated that we'd decided to only get two! Ultimately, we went with one lemon-lavender cake and another chocolate-chocolate -- both were excellent.

    Awesome desserts!

    We live near Cakeroom and enjoy their desserts, so it was easy decision to use them for our wedding desserts. We decided not to have a wedding cake, we had hand-held desserts at a dessert table instead. We chose lemon bars, magic bars, pecan pies, apple walnut pies, mixed berry pies, carrot cake cupcakes (gluten free and regular), salted caramel cupcakes, and Oreo cupcakes. We worked with Fadi. The contract process was easy and Fadi was responsive to our questions. We scheduled our tasting for an evening, which, in hindsight, wasn’t smart. We could only taste what was left in the cases, many things we wanted to try were sold out. That being said, everything was delicious, and we ordered items we hadn’t tasted and had no problems. They delivered everything to our venue when requested. Our caterer took care of plating everything. We received many compliments from our guests about the desserts. We really over-ordered and had so much left over. We loved our wedding desserts and highly recommend Cakeroom.

    You want this cake

    They were a complete dream to work with, and the cake was outstanding. Guests raved and we loved our leftovers :) . 10/10 get this cake while they're still priced significantly below DC rates!

    For our wedding, we didn't want to get a large, traditional, expensive wedding cake. We loved the unique flavors that Cakeroom offers and also wanted to provide our guests with a variety of options - that actually taste great! We had a vision to offer cakes with different sprinkle designs (For a life sprinkled with...love, happiness, etc.) and The Cakeroom entertained our quirky request and delivered perfectly!
    We also didn't have to do a elaborate tasting. We went in, ordered a bunch of cupcakes to taste the flavors and ordered. They even had a flour-less chocolate cake for our gluten free guests.

    The Cakeroom cupcakes I ordered were delicious! Everyone ranted and raved how good they were. Fadi was easy to work with, flexible with changes and helpful all along the way.

    The CakeRoom provided the cupcakes and a small cake for our October wedding. They're our neighborhood bakery, and we go there all the time, so we knew everything would be delicious--it was so much better to have four kinds of cupcakes (the lemon-lavender and date cupcakes are to die) and a triple fudge cake, all fresh out of the oven, than a dry cake spackled with fondant. Dealing with them was incredibly easy, too; we put in the order by email, and they delivered everything so efficiently the day of the wedding our coordinator didn't even have time to tip them. Seriously, go local, and go for real cake. You'll be so glad you did.

    I turned to The CakeRoom Bakery after a decades-old business in the DC area was difficult to reach and curt once on the phone. I had mistakenly thought that dealing with a long-established bakery would be best. It wasn't. And boy am I grateful the OTHER COMPANY messed up because working with The CakeRoom Bakery turned out to be one of the highlights of my already incredibly delightful wedding.

    Prior to placing my order, I researched The CakeRoom's owner, Fadi Jaber and was impressed with his drive and passion. His is exactly the type of business I'm thrilled to support. When I first called the bakery, the person who answered immediately connected me with Fadi who handled my order personally. I was willing to place the order with anyone there, but Fadi happened to be available. He was wonderful--cheerful, helpful, enthusiastic, knowledgable. His team delivered our gorgeous cake as promised and it was every bit as delicious as we had hoped.

    Rather than a traditional wedding cake, we opted for a selection of 10 dozen cupcakes. We chose one to put the little bride and groom on and had a ``ceremonial cutting of the cupcake'' that added a bit of levity to the service. All the guests raved about the flavors of the cupcakes, saying they were better than the more well known Georgetown cupcakes. I would gladly use them for any event (although my waistline will demand limits). Terrific, punctual delivery service, great value for the money and just flat out delicious cupcakes.

    We tried several different bakeries before deciding that The CakeRoom was the place for us. We live only a few blocks from the bakery and often stop by for a sweet treat or two so when we realized we could get our wedding cake there, we knew immediately that this was the place for us. Fadi was very helpful through the tasting and planning process. Helping to make suggestions regarding the best flavors and design. The bakery does not have delivery vans and I was very nervous when I found out our cake would be delivered by Uber. Fadi quickly calmed my fears and assured me everything would be fine. The day of the wedding our cake looked just as we had imagined and there were no problems with the delivery.

    They provided us with a cherry blossom decorated cake to match our spring cherry blossom themed wedding in DC. It was beautiful, tasty, and the guests loved it. The staff were very easy to work with and gave us ideas to help me make selections as I was not sure what I wanted coming into the appointment. Someone came out and setup the cake and grooms cake, and thankfully we had some left over for the next day to enjoy! I would definitely recommend them to friends getting married in the area.

    Fadi, the owner of the Cakeroom was excellent to work with. He was very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed tasting the cakes and were very pleased with our red velvet cake.

    Fadi is fantastic! A few months before the wedding, we went to the bakery to try a few different options. I brought some pictures of what I was thinking, and Fadi was so nice and easy to work with. We wanted something simple and that didn't look like a big cheesy Wedding Cake. Not only was our cake delicious, but it was totally our style. A few days before the wedding, Fadi and I went to a florist to pick the flowers for the cake, which was nice because he really wanted to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. The cake was not too expensive, and everything arrived on time and went perfectly!

    I tasted cupcakes all over Washington DC. Thought I would go into a diabetic coma before I found something I liked. When I walked in the cakeroom and ordered a few cupcakes, Carlos at the register asked me if it was my first time there. When I said yes, he smiled and said, "you'll be back". He couldn't have been more right. Got home with the cupcakes and sat with my husband. Took the first bite and said "this is the place". Yummiest cupcakes are carrot, date, lemon raspberry, red velvet, double chocolate and peanut butter. Yes we ordered 12 dozen for our reception. They delivered them to our hotel and set them up on the cake stands for us. Our wedding reception guests are still talking about the cupcakes!

    Delicious cupcakes

    We ordered a variety of cupcakes for our wedding and they were delicious. Favorite flavors: lavender, red velvet, chocolate, banana pudding, and raspberry lemon. Rented the cupcake tier for display and got my deposit back right away the next day. They delivered directly to our venue and worked with the catering manager to get everything set up. Location very convenient in Adams Morgan and cupcakes were good value based on the quality and taste. Only comment is that they should update their website and online ordering system, it's a little clunky.

    I used The CakeRoom Bakery for my husband's groom's cake for our rehearsal dinner. I requested a difficult football field design with the Florida State University logo as well as buttercream "grass" for the field. Although there was a name error, the cake tasted delicious and we received lots of compliments! He really liked his Seminoles cake and Fadi was wonderful in helping to resolve the situation after. Thank you!

    A delicious cake delivered just under the wire

    We got one of their tiny wedding cakes for our small, immediate-family-only wedding. It was actually quite generously sized, and absolutely delicious-- chocolate with raspberry frosting. Ordering online was quite easy. The only downside was that the delivery window was 11am to 2pm, and the cake arrived at the stroke of 2. So that was a little nerve-wracking. It was also a little pricey for a small cake, but that was because we chose some premium options that added to the cost. Worth it, though. It was a seriously delicious cake.
