7 months 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!

2 months agoI was beyond thrilled with the experience and Katelyn's obvious baking talent! Katelyn took my design ideas and nailed them 100% perfectly. Not only did the cake look amazing, but it tasted INCREDIBLE. Delicious and beautiful - what else could you want from a cake? Katelyn was also responsive and easy to work with. I recommend Capital Cakes very highly!

3 months agoKatelyn did an excellent job with the cake for my daughter’s reception! She made good suggestions for the design, her help was invaluable since I was undecided. The cake was delicious, I was hoping to box up leftovers but there were none my guests couldn’t stop talking about the cake!

2 years agoKatelyn was so helpful to us when our initial baker backed out after we had to postpone our wedding for the 4th time. With only 3 months to our wedding day, Katelyn swiftly embraced the design from our initial baker and arranged several tastings for us. We couldn’t have been happier with the end result. It was absolutely stunning and tasted even better! Thank you so much Katelyn!

3 years agoKatelyn was such a pleasure to work with. I had to drastically change our wedding plans due to Covid. Katelyn was there to help with no hesitation! She was so sweet and so helpful during such a stressful time. On top of her professionalism and flexibility, our cake and cupcakes were AMAZING! Everyone raved about them! I highly recommend booking Capital Cakes, you will not regret it!
