Working with Cakes in Style was a pleasure from beginning to end. Usually, I go into a supermarket and pick up a random cake for someone's birthday, so easy. Not so easy for picking out a wedding cake that will make or break your party and leave guests baffled. I was 90% done with wedding planning and left the cake for last. I didn't want to be bothered with hunting for a vendor, making multiple visits and who to trust. I finally googled a cake store nearby and found Cakes in Style in the Rockville, MD area, very convenient. I took my fiancé at the time to meet with the owner Robert. I made an appointment with Robert; we went in and were amazed. First off, we saw many samples on the counter as well as in his portfolio. Then we went over the logistics of the cake, he took down great notes, provided great suggestions, and was very enthusiastic about helping us. He was kind enough to provide us with an impromptu cake tasting. My fiancé had made up his mind by the end of the free consultation, he picked the design, and we were all set. Robert kept in touch with updates, provided easy and flexible methods of payment and he delivered the cake on time and in one piece. We have seen many cake fail videos but nothing be scared about with Cakes in Style. Our venue was familiar to the owner, so we felt comfortable working with him. We left the store happy and content. We had selected a Red Velvet Cake with a Cream filling, our guests mentioned that it was the best cake they have ever had. It tasted amazing as well as looked beautiful. Presentation and Detail were on spot. I highly recommend Cakes in Style to all and everyone looking for a cake for their special occasion. I will surely use their services again in the future. They treated us like family and not just some random customer walking through the door. Thank you, Robert and Lucia, for adding your magic to make our wedding magical. read more

I ordered a birthday cake and smash cake from them. They were extremely communicative and I appreciated them working with me on design and budget. For that, I'd rate them 5 stars. However, when I picked up the cakes we noticed there was a small hairline crack in the crown but I figured it would be okay. We stored the cakes in a commercial fridge before it was time to sing happy birthday. When they took the cakes out, the crown was crumbling it's just a cake so I dismissed it. When it was time to eat the cake, we noticed nobody finished it. It wasn't until we came home and tasted it and it barely had flavor. We got the pistachio and raspberry. Pistachio was flavorless and raspberry was light but not flavorful. Customer service 10/10 Design 7/10 (because of the crown) Taste 5/10 They really did work with my budget so I'm wondering if maybe that was the compromise? read more

The custom cake that Lucia made for us could not have been more perfect. I emailed an inspiration photo and she replicated it perfectly. She was even able to make a matching smash cake and cupcakes. The cakes themselves were delicious. Rob and Lucia were very responsive and super easy to work with both via email and phone. They helped me pick up complementary flavors. Absolutely recommend and would not hesitate to work with them again for all of our cake needs! read more

Absolutely awesome! In 2010 I decided to have a "Double Sweet Sixteen" birthday party since I was unable to travel out of town for my yearly birthday trip. I found Cakes in Style by chance and headed over there with 3 other folks to do a cake tasting and see what all the hoopla was about when it comes to custom cakes. I met with Lucia who gave us at least 4 different flavors to sample then she sat and drew out the design and shoe I wanted for my cake. The cake was delivered BEFORE I even arrived to my party (and I'm usually a pretty timely person) and when I finally cut into it, the cake tasted exactly like my favorite treat - HOSTESS ORANGE CUPCAKES (may Hostess rest in peace...). Even the fondant was pretty tasty and I usually dislike fondant. I liked Lucia's work so much that my fiancee and I are contemplating checking her out again for our wedding cake/mini cakes. All in all very pleasant experience and I hope she can make this cake as, or even MORE, memorable as the last one. read more

I contacted Cakes in Style as I saw they on their gallery, some Korean first birthday (dol) cakes. I ordered a cake topper and at the party, it was a hit!

My fiance, my mom and I went for a cake tasting with Cakes In Style and they are a must! Rob and Lucia are a husband and wife who are a great team! Lucia's cakes were delicious! She offered cake flavors that other places don't even let you try or don't even offer for a cake tasting. Prior to the tasting, Lucia and I had a conversation over the phone and she was very easy to talk to. Rob was the one that sat with us and asked our details of the wedding. He was patient, nice, offered his suggestions and was excited with our design and concept. He is the baker while Lucia puts the cakes together and decorates. Rob drew out the cake plan and once we were done, we got to taste the cakes Lucia prepared for us. They are moist and soooo tasty! You can definitely taste the flavor of the cake and not just the filling. We are currently working out our cake plan with them still, but every communication has been a pleasant one. They seem to be very accommodating and offer other options that can work with our budget. Your cake shouldn't only look good, they have to taste good. The people that bake and make your cake is important. The person baking your cake or designing should be the one you are speaking with when you are ordering. The way they treat you and careful with you before your actual wedding and even before you sign a contract will tell you a lot. You will trust that on the day of your wedding-- the cake won't be something you worry about. Trust me, we went on about 5 other cake tastings and Cakes In Style was our last one and even though their price is slightly higher-- the quality of service and the taste of the cake go hand in hand! **UPDATE** They were late to set up the wedding cake. Guests had already arrived. Not sure if they had contacted my coordinator. But in the end it still looked beautiful and since there was no leftover, I guess it was delicious as our tasting!! read more

Had an amazing experience working with Lucia and Rob! They were very attentive and responsive for the cake I surprised my boyfriend with for his marathon.

My fiancé and I worked with Lucia for our son's Doljanchi (Korean first birthday). From the start, she was awesome. We showed her a picture of what we wanted and she asked all the right questions. We changed the animal on top and the colors. She took the time to match the outfit on the cake boy to the traditional Korean outfit our son was wearing... to a "T!" When I saw the cake, I almost cried. It was perfect... and delicious! You will be so pleased that you used Cakes in Style! read more

Cakes In Style - We requested that Lucia add the monkey and the outfit on the cake boy was an exact match to what our son was wearing. So happy!!!! - Bakeries Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Appearance, nice. Taste?.... Eh. Texture? Dry. Even the kids at the party said the cake was so bad and kids always eat the cake! To be honest, everyone was saying how bad the cake was. I was really upset not one person enjoyed it. Really sorry about this review appearance and customer service were nice though. read more

This was my first experience with Cakes in Style. My sister was having a baby shower and the theme was Jungle. The cake we ordered was BEAUTIFUL. Better than expected. Above and beyond! But the taste was subpar and the guests at the shower thought that the cake was old. I had to apologize and made a joke that at least it was pretty. I ordered a vanilla and marble flavors. The marble tasted better but was still not as tasty as the box mix cupcakes we made. Perhaps we ordered plain flavors and that's why the cake was bland? In any case. I was overall happy with my order and will order from them again and will choose different flavors. Great folks and the cake was stunning! read more

If i could give a zero i would!! I know somethings happen, But when you tell some one that you will be able to do a cake (or 2 in my case) for them on short notice, And then tell you to email everything to them, flavors, what you want etc... So i did. Then i get a email telling me that 2 orders come in AFTER me, they took them, But now cant do mine. Now we are 15 hrs later from when i placed it. I could of been finding someone else that could help me. I will never suggest that someone to come here! read more

Found this place while I was looking for a vegan wedding cake. Off the bat Rob and Lucia Byers were extremely helpful and responsive. They offered us a free tasting and helped work with us to get the wedding cake/style we wanted. They delivered the cake on time and set it up for us day of the wedding. My fiancé (who's not a vegan) was shocked that I h was cake was vegan and loved it too. All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking forward to my next event so that I have an excuse to order more cake! read more

I used Cakes In Style for my son's 2nd birthday. This store is owned and run by a husband and wife team. Lucia the owner is VERY nice and easy to speak with. I had a picture/vision and it was executed to the tee! I suggest going with a picture of what you like. The decorating was phenomenal!! My son likes bob the train and is excited to see letters/ABCs and shapes. This was on the cake. Everyone was blown away with the level of detail. I didnt give Lucia much notice -about two days and she was able to deliver given the month of May is very busy for bakeries. The cake was not that sweet which I liked. Could have been more moist but this is a cake you cant decorate the day of. Will order again. Thank you! read more

Lucia and Robert Byers make your sweets exactly as you envision it! She is great with offering several options for your vision. I had a 4th birthday cake made for my son and sugar cookies for my daughter's end of the school year class party. The cookies were packaged beautifully. Everything was darling and delicious! Worth the $, and very memorable, which is priceless. (the cars on top are actual toys, the cookies were a carnival theme "Admit to Two" for graduating to 2nd grade). read more

Cake was beautifully decorated- just as discussed! Lucia was delightful to work with and very accommodating, given we ordered only 4 days before we needed the cake delivered! Most folks thought the cake was delicious - we had some tiers chocolate and others vanilla- all with white buttercream icing. It was not too sweet- which was great- and both cake and icing were very light texture. Personally, I prefer wedding cake a little more dense. All in all, a good experience. read more

Previous reviewer hit the nail on the head. Amazing people to work with. If you are looking for a custom cake in the area this is THE place to go. Not only do you get gorgeous modernly designed cakes, they are affordable. We used Cakes in Style for our wedding cake. They delivered the cake right on time and everyone raved about how delicious it was and how beautiful. It was the talk of the wedding. We now use them annually to celebrate my daughters birthdays. LOVE this local family owned company. read more

We used Cakes in Style for our wedding cake. The whole experience was wonderful! My husband and I set up a cake tasting with Cakes in Style and one other bakery. We were blown away by the quality and flavor of Lucia's cakes. There is a vast selection of flavor combinations to choose from, and Lucia was really helpful in narrowing it down for us. We ultimately went with coconut cake with pineapple mousse filling and lemon cake with whipped cream and fresh berry filling. We did a simple vanilla butter cream frosting topped with fresh berries. (It was a 3-tier cake). We LOVED the look AND taste of the cake. We also got several compliments from friends and family that it was the best wedding cake they ever had. And this is coming from some friends who recently got married themselves. Cakes in Style was slightly more expensive than the other bakery we tried, but the flavor and quality was truly worth it. Lucia is very easy to work with - very responsive to phone and email. The other great thing was we didn't have to give a final head count until pretty close to the party. We started with an estimate of 80 people, but we changed it to 65 a couple of weeks before the party with no problem - and the price went down :) I would recommend them for any special ocassion. If we ever need another cake, we will be going back to Lucia! read more

I just ordered a custom-made graduation cake for my daughter and Cakes in Style did a magnificent job. The cake was unique, exquisite and delicious -- and reasonably priced compared to other cake makers I've used in the past. Not only that, but when I had a last-minute hiccup getting the cake to the restaurant to surprise my daughter, they offered to deliver the cake to the restaurant for me at the designated time and didn't even charge me for the service. I loved working with Cakes in Style so much, I'd order from them even for occasions when a grocery store cake would suffice. read more

Three years ago I ordered my incredible Wedding cake from this talented baker. They didn't only understand my vision, they executed it with flair. I have been to half a dozen weddings since and I know from the first glance when the stunning cake is from this company. I don't normally eat more than a piece of wedding cake. These cakes are the exception. I think the value for price is exceptionally high. I was so glad I ordered a generous size cake for my wedding. If you have no idea where to begin they are excellent when assisting you. No question was left unanswered. read more

We looked high and low for someone to bake a pistachio cake. We were so excited to try their pistachio cake as we were considering using them for our wedding. I am so glad we purchased a "trial" cake first. The cake was dry, bland and certainly did not taste at all like pistachios. The raspberry filling was overwhelming and the cake was a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT...and a great waste of $75.00 as the cake (minus the one slice we tried) will be going out in tonight's trash. One positive note - the cake looked beautiful...but that was the only good thing about it. Back to the drawing board. read more
