a month agoI loved my wedding cake! It was exactly what I wanted. Communication was great, which I really appreciated during wedding planning. The tasting boxes were a nice touch, and the strawberry cake with strawberry buttercream was excellent. I would definitely recommend her to any bride.

a month agoCapital Cakes is the way to go if you want a phenomenal cake that not only looks amazing but tastes delicious as well. Katelyn is awesome at what she does and believe me you will not be disappointed. When I contacted Katelyn I was about a week away from my event because I struggled with communication from the baker I was working with but Katelyn made things stress free regardless of what timeline she was working on. I feel like it was meant for me to reach out to her once I found her because the experience was everything I could ask for and more. From her communication to flexibility she is a dream come true. Don't think about it, Just Do It. Trust me you wont regret it!

a month agoAfter many back and forth pictures and finalizing the details Katelyn created the perfect cake to highlight the Woodland theme baby shower for my daughter and her husband. She was very patient, kind and customer oriented while providing her recommendations as a professional baker. The cake was a hit and delicious! She was wonderful to collaborate with and provided prompt and timely replies and feedback.

4 months agoI ordered my wedding cake from Capital Cakes. The cake was so beautiful and delicious. Our guests absolutely loved it. Katelyn made sure that the color is what we want and she was on time about delivering the cake. We will definitely order from her again in future :)

2 weeks agoKatelyn is the sweetest person! The ice storm last week disrupted our plans and she was kind enough to accommodate us picking up our cake the following week. That kind of consideration and understanding for your customers doesn’t go unnoticed. We will absolutely be back and will recommend Capital Cakes to anyone who asks! We got the small circle cake that serves 6-8 people and it was taller than expected and was plenty to go around! I am so glad we stumbled across Capital Cakes in our search, and really could not be happier with our birthday cake - nor could we speak any higher of Katelyn. So professional, friendly and TALENTED!!!
