I've been ordering cakes from Fluffy Thoughts for years, and they never disappoint! While pricy, the quality is worth the price. Cannot recommend enough!

So, I found Fluffy through a google search and as with most people, I looked up the reviews. If I am being honest, the negative reviews sounds like it comes from entitled, wealthy suburbanites that thinks the world revolves around them. Lets talk about my experience. I emailed a couple locations for a custom cake for my Wife's Birthday and Fluffy got back to me extremely quick. Responded and our email chain went back and forth and narrowed down a design and agreed upon it within the same day. So no portal, and actual humans I was emailing. Now, where I think they went above and beyond, is accommodating a request I have. I think people forget that small businesses are people too and that their time is just as important as our time. And I always make sure to respect that. With relative short notice, I wanted the cake to be ready earlier than an agreed upon date. They communicated extremely well in regards to my accommodation and informed me they would make an attempt, but not guaranteed. Look, I made the request and I did it outside the agreed upon Window. They didnt have to honor my request. But within a day, they responded back and were able to give me the earlier pick up date I needed. And OMG, the cake is amazing. My wife is a HUGE BTS fan and they nailed the cake I asked for. I couldnt be happier with them. Ignore the negative reviews as my experience was extremely pleasant and the staff was great. They even sent me reminder and courtesy texts. This cake is AMAZING!

Stunning wedding cake!!

Fluffy Thoughts Cakes is incredible - you won't be disappointed! Lara designed our wedding cake using our invitation as inspiration and we were in awe - from the delicate sugar flowers to the beautiful colors - this cake was a piece of art! Not only did the cake look beautiful but the taste was out of this world!! We even ordered a dozen gluten-free and vegan cupcakes for our guests and they were so impressed -- my sister said the Lara must be a magician because these were by far the best cupcakes she's ever had!! Thank you so much for making our day so special!

Exceptional Customer Service & Perfect Cakes! Ordering our gender reveal cake and cookies was such an easy process. We sent them an email with what we're looking for and they were able to go above and beyond our expectations. I appreciated how quickly Lara was able to get back to us and communicate all options. Our guests loved how moist and flavorful our cake was and how soft the sugar cookies were.

I had the pleasure of working with Fluffy Thoughts when I was a wedding event manager at a hotel in the Georgetown area of DC. They were alway so easy to work with and their wedding cakes were always so magnificent! When I needed a groomsmen cake for my own wedding, I knew right away I wanted to use Fluffy Thoughts. The process was so seamless and the cake turned out amazing! Everyone absolutely loved it!

Lara at Fluffy Thoughts is an incredibly talented artist. Her designs are truly a work of art. We were beyond thrilled with our wedding cake from Fluffy Thoughts. When meeting with Lara, we showed her a few photos of what we imagined, and talked through a design. On the spot, she drew a couple of samples. She immediately took what I pictured and put it on paper. At the tasting, we got huge portions of cake to sample. My parents and sister came with us, and we all got more than enough - we could barely even finish the samples! They definitely did not skimp on the tasting. The actual cake came out looking exactly how she drew it at our meeting and how I imagined! I also asked her to include a fancy, gold "R" initial on the cake, last minute, with no other direction. It came out absolutely gorgeous! We got so many compliments on not only how beautiful the cake was, but on the taste as well. I have been to so many weddings where the cake was just okay, and got left uneaten. Our guests ate it up! We chose a white cake with layers of raspberry and chocolate ganache. It was to die for! The other amazing thing about Fluffy Thoughts, is that they will give you a small top tier of your wedding cake, at no cost, on your one year anniversary, so you don't have to worry about saving the top tier from the wedding. Your guests will thank you for this, as there is more to go around. If you live in the NOVA/D.C./MD area, don't bother looking elsewhere for a wedding cake, because you will be disappointed. Fluffy Thoughts is the best! I can't wait for another event, so we can order another cake from them! My family is excited to have a new bakery to go to for all of our dessert needs.

So we just recently moved to McLean, VA from Southern California.....On a walk one morning, right across the street from our apartment I noticed what appeared to be a cake shop....I noted their website and looked them up....It all sounded interesting...I have never been much for "cakes", let alone custom cakes - however, my wife's birthday was just around the corner, so I thought I would ask her if she had her choice for a custom cake for her birthday, what would she want.......She described it to me, and I emailed this company with her requirements (vanilla cake with chocolate mouse filling and whip cream frosting on top......Unfortunately they could not provide the Whip cream frosting, but had a great substitute.........Laua and Emma were incredibly helpful, as at first the requirement was for on about 8 people but grew to 16, so alterations had to be made. Also, since my wife is a huge Michigan Wolverines fan, I asked if they could put the Michigan "M" on the cake....They provided me with four or five different "M's" to choose from and of course the standard "Happy Birthday Justine"!! The day before the party I went over an picked the cake up - which was in a box and was simply stunning looking.......The next day (the party), we sang happy birthday and were just amazed at how wonderful and delicious the cake was.....Simply amazing.....I would highly recommend this cake shop for any cake type needs.......One note to keep in mind....The cake was amazingly deli could - however it was also amazingly "rich"...LOL - very few of the adults were able to finish their pieces.....However the kids loved it and were promptly bouncing off the walls due to the sugar content...LOL !

Wish I could've given more . This was my first time working with Lara and starting from first phone call through until yesterday(when we received order) the whole process was very smooth. We ordered cake for our daughter's second birthday and the design we chose, Lara created the exact same cake. We also ordered cupcakes and those were delicious too. Cake was super delicious, very moist and not too sweet (which is always my preference). If you are still having double thoughts ordering from her, please see the pictures attached. My daughter was so excited for her cake and she loved it. Our experience with Lara went really great and I am pretty sure this is definitely not our last order from her.

See all

Inconsistent at best. They are either good or not good. Don't take a chance because their customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

While I was on travel my colleague purchased a cake from L'Atelier and today we served it at an event. The cake itself was custom decorated including printed logos (this was a corporate event after all). I assume the printing was done on fondant, but I'm not positive. Fondant can be controversial, and if it was fondant it was definitely not an egregious amount. The presentation was exquisite; on it's own serving platter protected by a crystal clear plastic square box - NOT a clamshell - that was then secured with an elegant ribbon. It was presented almost as one would a piece of jewelry. It was accompanied with a lovely fold-out sharing some inspirational background of Founder and Chef Marie Axelle. Exceptional presentation. Now, the cake itself ? PHENOMENAL. I have enjoyed my fair share of cake in my life - this is immediately evident upon meeting me in person. In fact, my own mother used to make custom cakes when I was younger, and I have constant access to extremely high quality cuisine including yes more deserts than I really should consume. Presentation is one thing, but if the food doesn't back it up then it's just pretense and not real quality. This cake 100% backed up the presentation ! It was surprisingly moist, making me wonder if perhaps pudding was mixed in, and the icing was just perfectly sweet enough - not overly sweet. We had a large group of people enjoying this cake, with many comments on how good the cake was, and grown adults taking slices home. That's when you know it's good :) My hat is off to Ms. Axelle, and the fine cake she presented that made an important day even more special. Thank you L'Atelier for your support, and proud to support you. Sadly because this was as private event I can't include pictures ... you'll just have to order your own !

All delicious. And I love their cro'gel - croissant bagel. They have them in a large size and a mini. I always get the mini so I can enjoy some pastries too. I do wish their coffee offerings had more, like I always want a chai and they don't have that. But that's okay. I also like that they have a little market with European snacks and treats, makes this place different from others.

Interestingly, the croissants aren't baked in a traditional oven, they are baked in a rotating circular oven. The almond croissants were baking when I arrived and waited for them to finish in 15 min before snagging one! The fluffy Nutella Croissant has a small decadent filling of Nutella. The Raspberry Croissant had a nice raspberry puree. I wasn't a big fan of the Almond Croissant and the brown almond paste. I prefer a more traditional yellow almond cream filling with frangipane. The flaky Cro'gel has an unique texture like a croissant in the shape of a bagel. Feels like I'm eating an airy everything garlicky bagel without all of the carbs! I bought 2 Cro'gels and made egg and cheese sandwiches for dinner. Will be back for the Plain and Nutella Croissant and Cro'gel!

So I was sold walking in. Next up was home made cookies making ice cream sandwich's by the front door. before I could even get through the line to the front, I was greeted with more baked goods, cupcakes, scones, macroons, dog biscuits - normal biscuits! So I went to town ordering a variety being asked by my lil and my inner child. While sipping on my now, pumpkin spiced latte from here, I saw actual meals being served and I missed out on ordering sandwiches from the back :( Something I will be coming back for! I did get up and order more things, like a fall inspired cookie ice cream sandwhich, all alone by itself in a sea of other flavors, I had to rescue it. And the sour macrons!
