5.0

  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Washington, DC

At Sweet Greene Cupcakery we specialize in edible artistry to create unique and delicious desserts to make your event’s dessert table stand out. I was born into baking and while my love started as a way to satisfy my sweet tooth and cravings, it grew to a love of the artistry of baking, the experimentation of flavor profiles, and the desire to find new ways to design edible creations that were unique.

I have a severe wheat allergy and finding a bakery willing to accommodate this was an extreme hassle. Until I found sweet green cupcakery. They have been supportive, professional and communicative- and most importantly, and the cake is delicious!! I have used them for every family birthday and milestone since our wedding. Every time has been a stress free and delicious experience :)

We specialize in homemade artisan pies made with fresh locally sourced produce. We believe the rich natural flavors propelled by the perfect combination of fresh local produce and the right mix of herbs and spices are unparalleled in taste.

We got mini pies and treats from Pie Gourmet for our wedding reception and the pie bar set-up using their pies were such a hit! Dorah, the owner, was so accommodating to all our needs and dietary restrictions. We ordered a few nut-free and dairy-free free options and I heard they did offer gluten free pies as well. Her team went above and beyond and even answered all our questions past store hours which was quite heartwarming because it showed how much they cared. We'll definitely be ordering again for our next event!

The Red Bandana Bakery 

5.0

  • Starts at $50
  • Serves Washington, DC

The Red Bandana is a happy, healthy little bakery in Bethesda, MD. We like to make people happy with celebratory dessert food but we don’t want to feel guilty about what we’re feeding them so we try to make it as good for their body as it is for their soul. Owner/operator Jaimie Mertz went to culinary school in 2011 with the plan to become a pastry chef, and a year later doctors put her autistic brother Jack on a gluten-free casein-free diet to try to help with some behavioral issues.

My wife has celiac and finding a baker who could accommodate a gluten allergy wasn't the easiest in our small Western Maryland town. We found Red Bandana at the gluten-free expo at BC Brewing and we're sure glad we did. Jaimie was beyond professional and accommodating to our needs. Not only did we get an absolutely delicious wedding cake for us, but several dozen gluten free cupcakes for our guests. Both us and our guests were blown away by how delicious her baked goods were. She was even able to deliver to us despite us having our wedding over an hour away from her bakery. I can't recommend this place enough. Even if you only have one person attending your wedding with a gluten allergy, you NEED to book Red Bandana. The cupcakes and cake were so good I completely forgot they were gluten free. Worth. Every. Penny!!

I tried Petrova Chocolates for the first time at a Winter market last year in Boston. I bought the Milk chocolate with crispy crepe and cinnamon and the signature Bonbon collection and can tell that the chocolates were amazing.

Melissa's Simply Sweet 

5.0

  • Serves Washington, DC

Just how sweet is Melissa’s Simply Sweet? Oh so sweet, — and my “oh so sweet” story begins with a unique love for service and commitment to my exclusive craft. My passion for baking began at an early age. After venturing into the hotel industry at the Hotel and Culinary School of Santa Barbara, California, I somehow managed to stumble onto the very unexpected culinary art of baking, and haven’t looked back. I never imagined beginning a career in the culinary industry, but after creating my son's 2nd birthday cake 19 years ago, I fell in love and hit the ground running.

Melissa was so easy to work with and very accommodating when we changed the flavors of 2 layers in our cake. The cake was perfect, it turned out exactly how I had imagined it and it was absolutely delicious. We got so many compliments on how yummy the cake was. I would definitely recommend!

We had our wedding reception at a brewery and wanted some easy to eat sweet and salty snacks. These popcorn flavors were delicious, they sent us flavors to try before we decided. We chose 4 flavors and they shipped them right to our house. The popcorn buckets had our cute custom labels which they designed for us and looked PERFECT! We had tons of compliments on the popcorn. We ordered plenty and people were grabbing them to take home at the end of the night. A perfect snack after a few beers. Theu were very fast with the samples and the order too!

  • Serves Washington, DC for additional fees

Hello! My name is Ava. I’m a wife, mother to five and a cake and cookie artist. My grandma was a custom cake artist in NY for many years before she passed in 2018 so I grew up watching her create works of art. I would like to say that baking and creating runs in my blood and is not only a hobby of mines, but a true passion.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our original baker cancelled on us two weeks before our wedding and I was panicking to find someone to make our wedding cake as all the bakeries I knew of all said they were booked. We were thankfully recommended to Ava by a family friend and even though she was booked as well she said she would do it. We are beyond thankful for Ava’s professionalism, talent and stark attention to detail. I don’t think anyone could have brought our vision to life like she did and we continue to use her to this day for all events and parties we have. Thank you again and again, Ava!

I’m incredibly lucky to be able to create mini works of art in so many different ways using such simple ingredients, all of which are edible. My love of art and baking has made an incredible opportunity to spread happiness in the form of food art, while working from home and enjoying my family.  It brings me so much joy to think of how many wonderful celebrations my work has been a part of. 

We ordered a lemon blueberry 3-tiered cake from Megan at Three Melons Bake shop and it was incredible! Not only did it look so pretty, it was also so tasty!! I had 5 different people text me the day after the wedding to ask who made the wedding cake and tell me that it was the best wedding cake they ever had! My husband and I also did tastings with 3 other bakeries before booking Megan and none of them came close to any of her flavors. She was extremely easy to communicate with and she delivered a beautiful cake! I highly recommend Three Melons Bake Shop for any bakery needs!!

Abby’s Cake and Desserts

  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Washington, DC

Abby's Cake and Desserts, LLC started with its owner, Margui's passion for baking. Since very little she learned how to bake cakes from scratch using the best ingredients available. In her early twenties she developed this interest for cake decorating and sculpting, which made her learned everything about cakes. For about ten years now she has been indulging family, friends and customers with her creations. Margui's love for baking goes beyond from making only cakes. She loves to mix ingredients and create beautiful desserts.

Margui made amazing cakes for us at our wedding (including an amazing groomsman cake of a shoe for my runner husband) that people kept raving about, so when we had a first birthday celebration for our son, we had to once again get the cakes from Margui. She made a three tier cake for the guests with the theme (Formula 1 car racing) that we'd requested, a smaller cake with the same theme for the birthday boy, and a smash cake for his photo shoot. We also ordered cupcakes for the decorations table. The cakes were amazing and everything we'd hoped for. The guests loved them of course - thanks Margui and we can't wait to get more cakes for future events. Margui's cakes are simply amazing!
