The cakes are literally the best cake I have ever tasted(moist and full of flavor) and each time they have nailed the requested designs.

They make sure to have a thorough consultation, to go over all the details of what you want. I enjoy that during the consultations, they provide a lot of recommendations but ultimately let you have full creative freedom. Their quality of work is very consistent, their cakes not only look great but also taste amazing. This is a very reliable place, we appreciate them being part of our special occasions and providing us with the best quality service! We are also obsessed with their fondant and American buttercream!

Most people, especially on weekends and days off, have time to go out and shop--but you close quite early, which limits that opportunity. These kinds of hours don't make much sense for a popular bakery. It feels more like an office schedule than a customer-focused business. If you had more flexible hours, more people would be able to enjoy the quality you offer.

I FINALLY had the chance to go to one of her pop-ups at Neighbor's coffee last weekend. I purchased several Macarons for myself and my coworker. Her designs are thoughtful and the attention to detail shines through. She has a very fun vehicle that she sells the treats from. The team was very friendly and packing up my order . I'm so happy to see her successful.

This is probably my 3rd time having macarons and I really just love it…read more The macarons are diverse with usually a variety of flavors and characters. I would say though, they look a bit grainy. Service is amazing, I like the idea of being able to pre-order ahead of time if you sign up for her newsletter. I'm usually at the pop-up's (Rockville) so lots of vendors to see as well. The line can get busy but moves quickly.

My friend recently introduced me to Lil Cakes' cupcakes and Monkey's Matcha drinks…read more I tried their strawberry funnel cake cupcake and was so pleased by how moist the cake was. The cake was sweet and flavorful enough to not need any icing, but the strawberry jam filling and cream cheese icing elevated the cupcake without being overly sweet. Their strawberry crunch and caramel cupcakes are next on my list :)

The mango lava cake was delish. Super light, fresh, and not overly sweet. I also loved the milk tea…read morewith panna cotta. The silky pudding texture in the milk tea is SO good and makes the whole drink even better. Portuguese egg tart was a little too eggy and buttery for me. Felt really heavy - wish it was a bit more caramelized or custardy. Seems really popular though, everyone who came into the shop left with some egg tarts lol. The interior only has very few tables and seats, so it's not really the kind of place I'd sit and hang out for a while. I think most people just grab their desserts to go. There's also a parking lot in the back with plenty of spots, which is nice. My only con is their hours and availability. I went around 2 p.m. (they open at noon), and they only had three desserts available from their whole menu. I was looking forward to getting a whole haul, so that was kind of a bummer. I've also heard they sell out pretty early, so it's hard to plan what you'll actually be able to try. Definitely go earlier or message them if there's something specific you're hoping to get. Would be nice if they can release a menu online too or post on their social media what the menu of the day is...

We were very disappointed and embarrassed by the cake. Total waste of money. We ended up donating it to a shelter. We could have gotten a better tasting cake at Wegmans and saved on cost.

It was also delivered to the reception site wedding day afternoon. The cake itself was beautifully done and elegant looking. More importantly , it was delicious. The cake portion was rich (but not heavy) with a buttery flavor. The icing was light, creamy and not too sweet. All the guests enjoyed it and couldn't believe it was vegan! More recently we purchased chocolate cupcakes and they were just as tasty. Will definitely purchase more items in the future.

If you thought the bakery was fantastic, wait until you try her Indian food options. My sister and…read moreI take a peek at her menu every now and then. She posts special items on social media, but she always has some traditional entrees. There are no single servings. They come in portions for 3 to 4 individuals, and the prices for the various items are in the 20s. For the holidays, we decided to switch things up and order a bunch of items to try. Usually it's a whole cooking ordeal, but like Thanksgiving with my parents last year, we decided to get food already made. And interestingly enough, we had Indian men as well, haha. So we got.... Butter chicken Daal (lentils) Veggie biryani Chickpea masala We should've expected it, but we also received a ton of basmati rice, and got the lemon cardamom and eggnog tres leches churro cakes. Every single item was a 10/10, honestly. The butter chicken was so creamy and cashew based, and was easily my favorite item, though everything was fantastic. This might be the best Indian food in Maryland... I'm not shy to say that given how much I've had (though there is still plenty more to try). Applause. Give this place several claps for having amazing vegan desserts and amazing Indian food. If you haven't had it yet, what are you waiting for?!
