Stumbled on this amazing bakery. I got a cheesecake that was made this morning and have to pictures of this amazing treat that sings the bakers praises. I licked the box!!

Was happy with how easy it was to get the cake. The lady worked with me on a very short notice. Not sure if it was family run but gave this type of vibe. The cake did seem like a certain style of cake that's not the norm for me, not very rich and with very mild flavor to it. I got the smallest cake size I believe, it was $60. A Black Forest cake. Chocolate wasn't rich, had pie filling type cherries between each layer. Although I prefer a heavier, sweeter and richer flavor it didn't make me feel sick afterwards like the cakes I have had in the past. I was pleased with the cake appearance. Cake has a fluffier texture that I've read some complaints believe is dry, but if you don't like super sweet things these cakes would probably be a good fit for you. I could be wrong but I sense that this is a style of cake, not necessarily what many of us are used to(definitely not a Cheesecake Factory type of dessert). Hopefully this review makes sense. Give them a try. Maybe do a cupcake before getting an entire to determine if this fits your needs. read more

WHAT I ATE - VIRGINIA @ Cakes by Happy Eatery Manassas, VA It's time for the Asian Mid Autumn Harvest Festival! And how do you celebrate that? With Mooncakes! Double-yolk please! We found that fresh baked Mooncakes really make a difference compared to the ones you get at the Asian groceries in the metal tins. Those have been travelling for months in the hold of a shipping container! Victoria from Cakes by Happy Eatery explains their baking process to make the mooncakes with the perfect, tender crust in a variety of fillings! We tried the Black Sesame with Double-yolks, the Mixed Nut and Ginger Lemon! ALL WERE GOOD! My wife who does not really like mooncakes has changed her mind with these fresh baked varieties. The bakery is easy to get to and has plenty of parking! VIDEO: https://youtu.be/ZznOwSr06e4 read more

Staff are friendly, always willing to help assist with your special orders. I've ordered a specialty cake for a work retirement party, employee congrats party and for my daughter's college graduation. I traveled with the graduation cake from Manassas to State College PA. I'm impressed each time I order. Keep in mind they do catering around the holidays (prime rib, turkey and all the fixings..)!! read more

Cakes By Happy Eatery - A design I created was brought to the bakery and they executed it perfectly!!! Thank you - Bakeries Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

A bit pricy but the butter cake was a hit at my son's bday party. He still takes about the cake years later! Easy and quick ordering!

Ordered here before for the cupcakes, which were amazing! For the cakes: it's a hit or miss on the design but always spot-on on the taste. I think this business should invest in hiring cake decorators for custom cakes (so it's a maybe for me for custom cakes), but for last-minute or "just because" cakes and cupcakes, I recommend them. The staff is always accommodating every time I visit so that's a plus. read more

I ordered my sister's graduation cake from this bakery a few years ago and it was so good, I knew I had to come back for my son's first birthday cake. Happy to say that I made the right choice! They were so friendly and professional, and cake exceeded my expectations completely! When the baker showed me the cake, I got goosebumps! I cannot recommend this bakery enough, they definitely helped make my son's first birthday party so special. :) read more

I never write reviews however this is warranted to save someone else the headache. First issue: My husband purchased a cake and when he went to pick it up, they said one of their machines wasn't working. Ok fine, mistakes/things happen however an employee or the owner should've called us to communicate that. They delivered the cake to his work that day, however it was late. Second issue: My husband ordered a cake for my birthday, he went to pick it up and was told by the employee they "just forgot." Third and last time I ever order: My sons $135 cake, the lettering is crooked and it looks sloppy. I could've gone to a chain grocery store for much cheaper and without this sloppy appearance. I proceeded to call and convey my concerns to the owner, she said she would pass this info along and to email image of the cake. I emailed and asked for a partial refund with no response. We will never purchase again due to lack of customer service and these issues that occurred not once, but three times. Truly disappointed by the lack of care by the owner. read more

The one place that knew exactly what I was asking for and had no problem making it! Happy Eatery has been around forever...back in the day, 40 year ago lol, it was first opened in Alexandria/Arlington. It's a Chinese bakery so I remembered my parents taking us as kids once a month for a treat! Chinese desserts are usually light and too sweet...so this was the only place my parents went for our cakes, not the heavily iced "American" cakes hahaha! Anyways, since they opened the bakery in Manassas (they also had a shop in Centreville that I have gone to), I just never had the chance to stop in...until now! My British coworker requested this cake and I had no clue what it was until I Googled it. Sounds simple but NO ONE made this cake. Finally I thought of Happy Eatery and gave them a call. Without hesitation she knew exactly and took my order! Picked it up right at opening and it was perfect! My coworker loved it! So Happy Eatery for the win! read more

Once again....you killed it loved the emegency Ferror Roche cake. This place is the best in Manassas. Must try

One of the few bakeries in NoVA that has moon cakes. I didn't come here more than once a year when I lived in the D.C. Area. Just for their moon cakes during the Moon Festival or mid-Autumn festival. read more

I wanted to like this place. They will help you in a pinch but they do not honor the time the quote you that the cake will be ready. They also did not finish the decorations on my cake. When I asked about it, she hurriedly scrawled an incorrect message on the cake and tried to blame whoever ordered the cake for the messed up message. The carrot cake was just okay. Wouldn't reorder. They also tried to oversell and upcharge. read more

The design was terrible! The cake was moist but lacked flavor. The "sugar cookies" were fondant attached to a sugar cookie which was also inconsistent in shape and quality. I was honestly embarrassed to serve any of it but I literally had no choice. Called to complain the next morning they didn't care at all 0/10 I wouldn't Recommend wasted $222.20 read more

This cake shop has been my go-to for birthday cakes for several years now. We usually order a custom cake ahead of time (nothing too fancy, usually a mocha cake with almond and a few strawberries decorating the top), but they will also have cakes of various sizes available in the case to take the same day. We opted this time for a small caramel macchiato cake from the case along with individual rectangular slices of vanilla with strawberry and chocolate without ganache that we planned to enjoy later that night. They thoughtfully taped the small box of slices to the top of the whole cake box to prevent it from sliding around during transport. I will say that the individual slices are NOT a good representative sample of how their whole cakes taste. The slices were close textured and overly sweet but the round cake we enjoyed at the birthday was spongy, soft, lightly sweet and it got rave responses from the family. read more

I bought 6 cupcakes for kids birthday and the box was super delightful. Location is convenient for a last minute cake order instead of going on a supermarket cake. I only tasted the chocolate chantilly and it was delish and moist. 4 star is based on the aesthetics of the restaurant and the piece of cupcake I tried. Love to support local business. Also, surprised that they also served breakfast food sandwiches. I will try more next time. read more

My family and I decided to give this place a try as a possible wedding catering option and ordered several flavors of their cupcakes. While their workers were very kind and helpful to our dietary questions, each one of their cupcakes was truly God awful. The icing was either weirdly bitter or simply had no flavor. The cake on the other hand tasted dry, burnt, and flavorless. Top that off with their overpriced cakes, and this place should be avoided at all costs. read more

We ordered our Christmas desserts to take up to NJ and my family was so happy. The apple pie was delicious...overflowing with apples. The peanut butter pie was so creamy and a hit with the kids. The chocolate ganache tart was crispy and so rich. The winner though was the cherry pie. It has to be the best cherry pie I've ever had...everyone loved all of them and kept going back for more. I'm now on dessert duty every year read more

While the cake was decorated nicely and the icing was good, the actual cake was dry and did not taste fresh at all. I have had better cakes from BJs or Costco for half the price. I mentioned this to a friend of mine and she had the same experience at this bakery with the cake being dry and tasting kind of stale. It makes me wonder if the they bake the cakes then store them in a freezer for later. They definitely don't bake them fresh or, if they do, might want to hire a baker. This was for my son's birthday and it put a damper on the celebration that the cake was so stale. Definitely don't recommend for a special occasion. read more

The birthday cake they made me was absolutely delicious and also gorgeous to look at. It was vegan and gluten free, and still one of the best cakes I've ever eaten. With my late in life food allergies, it can be hard to find food I can eat and enjoy, especially desserts - but this place came through and exceeded my expectations! Can't wait to try the gluten free vegan pie for Christmas Eve read more

I've never ordered a custom cake before I was a little nervous and not sure what to expect especially because whoever I spoke to on the phone had no idea what character I was talking about for the cake. I was so pleased with what I got it was exactly what I wanted and then some. A little pricey yes, worth it? Yes! The cakes were delicious and so beautiful!!! Will use them again!! read more

I brought a 8' caramel macchiato cake for my girlfriends graduation. To be completely honest besides the decorations on the cake which I don't think was worth a $35 charge was the best part of the cake. The cake was dry and barely had taste. Taste like they decorated an old cake. So not worth $74.20. It taste like there was no sugar in the cake. By all means if you have taste buds don't waste your money here. read more

My son ordered his wedding cake from them, it was nothing like the picture he gave them and that was promised to him. So disappointed.

This is by far the best cake bakery in Virginia for one important reason; healthy cakes. I know that may sound like a dream come true but it is healthy bakery. I ordered cake for my husband's birthday and we are keto dieter more so myself and the cake was absolutely delicious and I had a slice then measured my ketones still good and my glucose was still good. Had I bought a cake from any other bakery or grocery store; I would have found that my measures all skyrocketed. It is safe to eat healthy cakes and treats in moderation if you only know where to go. I highly recommend happy eatery for any one who wants to enjoy cakes without any guilt. read more

super cute interior. loved the friendly service. I was served by an excellent cashier by the name of Morgan! would recommend if you're in the area read more

The lady working was very nice and helpful but I must say I ordered 4 cupcakes of different flavors and they were all super dry and flavorless. I wanted to try this place but I'm sorry I can't say I will be back. read more

I special ordered a dulce de leche cake for my wife's birthday. The sponge cake was moist and tasty but there was a serious lack of frosting for the cake. Our cake had about 1/4" of frosting. So skimpy, it was almost like a plain cake. Too bad, because the sponge was good. This would have been ok (maybe) for a cake from Food Lion, but not a $45 special order. read more

Pricey cake for 8 is 156.00. Who has that type of funds the cake nothing fancy. The want this to be long, just bake it yourself.

Ordered here now 3 times, with a hope that it would improve. Cake is always super dry. Go elsewhere

The service Is always friendly and the desserts always look/taste good. Only wish we could buy slices of their whole cakes. read more

They made an amazing cake for my daughters 18 birthday. Not only was it beautiful on the outside but the taste was delicious very moist and flavorful. They took the time to help me design it and choose the perfect flavor. I also had an accident and dropped it and they happily helped me fix it! Will definitely be getting all my cakes from them from now on! read more

I stopped in here after having dinner at Noodles and Company across the street. It was about half an hour before closing time (8:00pm) for a little dessert. I had a cupcake and cup of coffee. The coffee was hot and tasty. Unfortunately the cupcake was pretty hard from being in the refrigerated case for a while. I had to cut into to eat it. Overall the cupcake looked very appetizing and clearly would have been better at room temperature. This is the only place I have been that puts their cupcakes in a refrigerated case. I'll stop in again and try it again. FYI, I had a chocolate cupcake that was like a hostess one with the chocolate frosting with a white swirl with the cream filling - the cream was quite good (picture attached). read more

Finally visited their location in Manassas VA last week. Many moons ago, they were located in Centreville VA near my house and we frequented them quite often for birthday cakes, etc. Since they moved further away from me, I hadn't been over there in quite some time. The husband and I were in the area and wanted to get a bite to eat. I noticed they now had sandwiches and lunch stuff, so I suggested we check them out. It's a cute, clean little place in a strip mall near Red Robin on Liberia. They have a nice display of the cakes and pastries they are known for - lots of items using fondant to create special occasion cakes. They had several different cakes in the shapes of things such as "purses" and other unusual items. I liked their pastry and cupcake display case the best though - everything looked very appetizing and inviting. First things first, however...we were there for lunch. I had a grilled ham and brie sandwich while the hubs chose the Monte Cristo sandwich, which is not easy to find. He was thrilled that it was on the menu. The wait was a little longer than expected, but boy were those sandwiches delicious! Wow, we were very impressed with the quality and taste! We did save room for dessert. Believe me, it was a difficult decision to choose which delectable delight we wanted to try because everything looked so good. I ended up with a slice of the mocha cake and he had a hazelnut Napoleon. Both were good, but I think would have been better at room temperature, since both the cream and cake were a little stiff from being chilled. I also took home a few of their lovely cupcakes for the family, but I'll be honest and tell you I did try a bite or two of each one! Keeping them out for a few hours greatly improved the texture - the raspberry amaretto was my favorite. Yummmm. We will have to make a point of coming back, now that we have been reintroduced! read more

I needed a specialized cake for my daughter's birthday at a bakery close to home. So, I spoke with one of the owners about what I wanted. She's not the one I'm used to seeing in the bakery. She was rude, but I was in a time crunch, so I continued to order politely. The cake cost over $150 and it wasn't fantastic, which I would expect for that price. My daughter frequents this bakery for their bubble tea and loves it so we'll be back, but not for the cakes. read more

Very tasty , moist cakes , plenty of vegan options. Large variety of flavors available , there really is something for everyone here . The prices are very reasonable, the owner Victoria is super friendly , and the store is cute . The cupcakes itself very good .. a moist cake , not too dense , with a perfect amount of frosting . My son got red velvet cup cake and practically inhaled it in one bite . Even my husband , who is not cup cake fan , ate all of his and kept talking about how great it was . If you can get that man to enjoy cup cake , you know they must be good ! read more

With two days notice, they took my phone -in custom order for a 12" custom Gucci-themed birthday cake. They took the time to talk on the phone and really understand exactly what I was looking for in the design and it was ready on-time. Not the cheapest place, but the servive, quality, and taste was worth it! read more

So the hubby and I had just finished having dinner next door to this place and since we both have a huge sweet tooth, we decided to check it out. Before we even walked in the door a young woman who was cleaning the outside door window asked us how she could help us (very friendly which is always a plus). We told her it was our first time there so we just wanted to look around. We saw cupcakes, cookies, etc in the display. Everything looked pretty tasty. We decided to just order two cupcakes, the red velvet and vanilla. There's a small seating area so we decided to eat the cupcakes there. My red velvet cupcake was just ok. The icing had a weird consistency. It was super sticky but soft at the same time. It kind of reminded me of Elmer's glue but on steroids. I will say that the icing wasn't super sweet which I like and the bread part was good. My husband's cupcake was a lot better. The icing was soft not too sweet and the bread part was good as well. Overall it wasn't amazing but it wasn't bad. If I'm around that area I might stop by again to try some other goodies. read more
