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 agoWorking with Katelyn was great! She responds to emails quickly and was able to make our cake with a quick turnaround. Also, the most important part, our cake was AMAZING! My wife has a gluten allergy so the cake was gluten free but you couldn't tell, it was the best cake (gluten free or gluten full) that I've ever had!

6 months agoI was so thankful she was able to take my order a week out for a surprise Birthday I was planning from out of state. I sent an inspiration photo and she did an amazing job recreating the cake! The cake was delicious and I highly recommend Capital Cakes!

6 months agoWorking with Capital Cakes was a great experience, and my husband and I loved the way our wedding cake looked and tasted! We saved the top tier and had it on our 1st anniversary - it was still super delicious!

3 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!
