3 months agoWhen I saw Katelyn’s work for wedding cakes, I prayed that she would be available for our wedding because WOW–her work is just stunning. The cake she made for us was exactly what we were hoping for and more. She got everything from the color to the texture to the taste just right. I cannot even begin to describe how delicious her cake tasted. We also ordered gluten free and vegan cupcake options–I could have just had those at our wedding and been happy; they were delicious. I cannot recommend Capital Cakes enough–Katelyn is a master at her craft!

4 months agoWe used capital cakes for our daughter’s aviation themed birthday this past weekend. All I can say is WOW, we got soooo many compliments on the cakes on how beautiful and delicious they were. She worked with our color scheme and sketches and worked her magic to create these beautiful cakes. You pay for the quality you get. Absolutely amazing, I couldn’t recommend more! Pickup was easy and cakes were secure the whole drive home.

a year agoAs a wedding photographer who likes all things bold and colorful, I frequently recommend Capital Cakes to my couples. Katelyn has an incredible eye for design, and in addition to the style of her creations always being phenomenal, every dessert of hers I've ever had has tasted amazing, as well! She runs the gamut from colorful to classic, and does so beautifully. You could not make a better choice than Capital Cakes for your wedding desserts—highly recommend!

3 months agoWe loved our wedding cake! We tried 5 different cake shops in the triangle area and this was our favorite. Not only was it beautiful on the outside but the chocolate ganache was to die for. Everything was customizable and the cake and stand was delivered to our venue.
