Lisa and her crew of amazing bakers make sure that their cakes not only taste delicious - moist and flavorful - but look exquisite as well. I ordered a large cake for a colleague's going away party. She loves everything 80's so the cake was 80's themed, chocolate with raspberry filling and buttercream icing. It arrived in perfect condition and my colleagues couldn't stop raving about how scrumptious it was! They also do treats and Lisa very kindly provided some to support one of my son's wrestling tournaments - so she gives back to the community too! read more

Awesome cake experience working with Imagine Cake Studio and Ndyia. We live out of town and were coming to D.C. to attend our sons-in-law's naturalization ceremony at the U.S. District Court. I ordered a cake for a luncheon we had at a nice restaurant afterwards. Everything worked out fabulous. Nydia was great! Excellent comms on e-mail. I sent a picture I found online that gave a rough indication of what we were looking for. The cake they designed came out great! They included sugar flags and stars to ramp up the patriotism factor. Payment was easy online. We precoordinated them delivering the cake to the lunch restaurant for the morning of our reservation. They delivered the cake as promised in perfect condition. That was a huge help since we were not able to pick it up. He really enjoyed the cake! It made the day extra special. When they posted a picture to their Instagram page it got everyone's attention. We appreciate how Imagine Cake came through and helped us celebrate this very special occasion. Highly recommend! Thank you! read more

OMG...I can't thank you enough for your team that made this cake happened, and y'all did above and beyond for what I requested. Since this cake is anime theme, so I was a bit worry for the details and the toppers. I simply only sent them the picture I found online and they made it. The boat topper was what wowed me the most!!!! I thought it would be a candy art, but no, it was real model and my friend had added it to his collections. The second picture I bought the other toppers online so I can decorate a little bit more. Even though it was a bit pricey, but....it's understandable since I am also working in food and beverages industry. Therefore, it's worth it when you know you're doing it for your loved ones. Again, thank you so much read more

Ordered my son's 10th birthday cake from here with dubious directions and a couple of Pinterest photos. My eyebrows went into my hairline at the cost, but as it turns out, they deliver and it was worth every penny. The communication is definitely good - the delivery guy rang my doorbell and when my 6yo ignored him AND failed to tell me, called my phone. I was doing laundry. He was a little late but it was pouring rain!! The cake was delivered well packaged/ it survived a highway drive from DC to Laurel and sitting in a box at ClimbZone for 2 hours and still looked and tasted great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Imagine Cake Studio - Cake - Desserts Near Me

The cake was good - its just a couple of things that wouldn't make me use this company again. 1. Everything was done via email and or digital - I dont believe they have a physical location you can go to (correct me if I'm wrong ) and the site was a little confusing too. 2.I called the number that was attached to the site and contact information SEVERAL TIMES and even left SEVERAL VOICEMAILS and wasn't given a call back nor emailed when I left my information for updates on my order and or just for FAQ's I had. 3.The pick-up location is hella sketchy, and honestly quite confusing. I'm from DC so I knew the pick-up area pretty well but its not ideal for customers to find if they are not from the area. 4. I requested a cake where money can be pulled from it - and when I picked it up the cake was leaning and the money part was slowly falling apart. Unfortunately since the pickup location wasn't where any of the bakers designed/baked the cake I couldn't get it fixed in time for the dinner later that day . By the time it was actually needed for presentation to sing HBD the cake was falling apart- thank god for the restaurant having a pastry chef on deck, they fixed it as much as possible BUT still the structure was NOT GOOD FROM THE START. read more

The management constantly tries to verify the cake done, by saying it was our fault, it is disappointing as a simple comprehensive email or apology for the disaster this played would have sufficed for us to remove this comment completely. But all we got is no answers on the phone, not even a name for a person to address. Disappointing in the whole handling of this situation. We asked for gold flowers and a marble looking design but the result was a disaster and a low quality. When contacting you we would have expected the end result would be up to the level. Disappointed in the level of communication as well. read more

They also offered a discount and free delivery to help me meet my budget. Lisa made the process so simple. I just sent over a picture of what we wanted the cake to look like, shared our flavor preferences, and provided the delivery address. I showed up at the event space and the cake was delivered, looking just like the picture. I'll be reaching out to the Studio for future events! read more

The most epic cake business ever!!! We ordered a cake for our sons 4th birthday. And I figured a cake for 40 people would be a two tier. And it was more like 2 floors! A ginormous, delicious, amazingly designed cake was delivered to me a whole hour ahead of schedule. The response time was great. The delivery rep gave me amazing instructions and sent an image of how it should have been set up. And it was perfect. And I received SO MANY compliments on the look and taste of the cake. Even the parents with the kids at another birthday said the cake was gorgeous! Thank you to Lisa and the entire team!! read more

I've been getting so many compliments on my bday cupcakes so I want to share my experience! From the initial call to the pick up, I had an AMAZING customer service experience! The inspiration was my love for sunflowers and they looked BETTER than the pic I gave them to create from!! And for all my foodies, I requested that the batter have lavender essence, and the icing was so soft and not super sweet, but just sweet enough! I picked them up since I'm familiar with the area, pickup was effortless. They were very nice! Loved that the cupcakes were in a huge walk in fridge! And me and my friends can tell you, they were delicious!! They couldn't even wait for their food at brunch to eat them! read more

I contacted this place based on a few yelp reviews and decided to go with them to build my wife's cake for her birthday. Out of all the experiences I've had dealing with caterers, cake vendors, food delivery, etc, I can say I really appreciate how smooth the process was with them. They did an EXCELLENT job with the cake. The theme was a casino night style birthday with the color theme of red and black. I basically had most communications with them via yelp. I told them exactly what I was looking for and I was surprised that they already had samples and pictures on deck of similar cakes. That was a huge plus because I got to see exactly what I was l getting beforehand. I signed a small contract, paid the invoice and they took care of the rest. They even delivered the cake to the venue of my choice. PLUS, they were on time :). Everyone who saw the cake basically said "NAILED IT". read more

This is my third review and I feel that this review is important not only for customers but for management as well. I had pre-ordered one month in advance, a cake and cupcakes for my child's birthday celebration. I had asked if my purchase could be delivered on a specific date and time. With consistent communication on my end; I was informed that my cake would be delivered as request. I emailed to confirm the delivery confirmation two days prior to the delivery date and again the morning of the actual day of my child's celebration. The confirmation that I received was that "they were on schedule" with the delivery time. However, unfortunately my order was delivered 30 minutes late with no communication from the vendors end. It is now the delivery time request: I had called the company and the owner stated that his ETA was 5 mins. 15 mins after that I called again to receive no answer at all and still no communication from the business end. I then emailed the company again to obtain an ETA, no response. 30 minutes later, I tried calling again and the owner decides answered as he pulled up. The following morning, I received an email from the owner and a $30 dollar refund. I responded to the email expressing how displeased I was with the lateness and the lack of communication. The owner was extremely unprofessional. I had eventually asked if half of my payment could be refunded and the unprofessionalism seemed to have gotten worse. Rather than the owner respond to my complaint and request via the initial email he had sent; he proceeded to rudely address me via FB messenger. The comments he made were EXTREMELY rude and unprofessional. It was very weird because somehow he managed to turn himself into the victim in this situation. I had to remind him that although we were connected on FB, we were not friends and this has always been business. Also how inappropriate it was and yet again how unprofessional his communication is. In the end; the conversation went so far left, almost into an argument and then nowhere and I had to block him. I was taken aback by this; given that I had been a consistent supportive and paying customer over the years. I did not at all appreciate how I was treated. The service was so poor; I couldn't believe it!! The cake and cupcakes tasted good. The design was as requested; with the acception of the figurine at the top. Overall, I've decided to no longer do business with this establishment. As a paying customer; I expect professionalism across the board. With professionalism comes proper communication and I didn't receive that. read more

The $225 cake that never was... HORRIBLE experience on my birthday! Called and ordered a 3D cake design for my birthday. Sent detailed pics and was told....yes we can do it. Cake gets delivered and I am asked where is the cake going. It was the summer and I was having my party outside, and tell the delivery person that I can just take it outside just before the party starts. I am then told that the cake has to be "arranged" and that he will come back 15 minutes before the start of my party.... He doesn't come back until an hour AFTER my party started. The cake's appearance is a C- minus at best but I try to make the best of it. Literally FIVE minutes after the delivery person left, the cake collapses. I take pictures and send them to Imagine and ask for a phone call and a 50% discount on this $225 cake, which, by the way my friends and family thought was exceptionally generous of me given the lateness and the condition of the cake. I never received a return call; I only received an email from the "customer service" person informing me that I would receive a $75 refund on this catastrophe of a cake. Everyone knows that the cake is the focal point of a party...especially a birthday party. To show up late, having to piece together the cake, the cake looking mediocre at best, and then the cake collapsing five minutes after the delivery person left was tooooooooo much. The gracious thing to do would have been to offer me a complete refund and a discount on a future service. Hell, I was even willing to accept a 50% discount but to not return my phone call, not discuss the matter with me and then TELL me via email that you are only refunding me $75 when you ruined my cake and therefore birthday party is seriously messed up. Karma come uppeth. In response to Lisa's post below, first, he did not arrive on time. He was more than an hour late. Second, it didn't start raining until after he left. Third, like I told you in my email, a cake business should anticipate parties taking place OUTSIDE DURING THE SUMMER TIME. Fourth, if you look at the customer responses, you will start to see a pattern with your organizational behavior. One review maybe, but multiple reviews complaining of the same issues, e.g. leaning cakes, tardiness, and ghosting speaks volumes. read more

Absolutely heart broken! I ordered a bday cake, asking the exact same one from a photo of a cake that they previously did and have on their website. They sent me a cake with a cardboard Amazon bought cake topper. I spent hours picking that cake because it was supposed to match everything else for a milestone bday - all the photos are ruined not to mention my mood for the night. 2 stars are only because the cake tasted fine - but if I wanted a cake that only 'tasted' fine I could have easily gotten one from Whole Foods and put a Amazon bought cake topper on it for less than half the price I paid for this. read more

Y'all - I ordered a cake from here for my daughters 4th birthday and it was AMAZING! The cake was beautiful - people at the party didn't want me to cut it. (The kids were all about cutting it). Then you know how you worry that such a beautiful cake won't taste that great. Well that was not the case - it tasted amazing. I will hire them again. They called the night before to say a toy from amazon did not come in for the cake, but that they would recreate it for us...and they did! This place is amazing! read more

We requested a cake to be made for a friends 30th birthday celebration. When I submitted my request to the business they informed us that could do a modified version of the cake at a lower price which fit more into our budget, but failed to explained what could and could not be done with the original concept. The cake we received was designed for a child, not a grown woman. When I received out to the artist he informed me that he asked the coordinator about the design and they told him no stick to that instead of reaching out to me to see if I wanted it make adjustments. There is nothing modified about this cake, it was a completely different cake and the handling of the situation was unprofessional. In situations like these things need to be completely communicated and they failed to do so. I will not be using their business ever again. read more

The cake design and shapes were all melted when we picked it up. The design was not very detailed so the cake didn't look very good. I can tell they tried but still, it looked crooked and badly decorated. The cake flavor was good, I mean it tasted alright. I didn't like the huge amount of cream they put between the fondant and the cake. All that Cream that latter caused the cake to get bumpy and made the cake look bad. We were supposed to pick up the cake in a bad part of town and the person who gave it to us was not from the company so at that moment there was nobody to talk to. Here is the design they were supposed to work on and the second picturr is their cake. read more

This bakery is definitely a solid choice if you're looking for a specialty cake in the dc area. I wanted to do something special for my dad's 70th birthday and decided to surprise him with a sculpture cake replica of his cat. I contacted Imagine cake studio and ordered a vanilla cake with strawberry and blackberry fruit filling mixed with a cream cheese cream. They quoted me $150 and required that they deliver the cake. I would have rather picked it up to make sure I got it on time but I didn't mind too much because hey, it's one less errand to run. The cake ended up looking adorable and tasted great. Reasons why I knocked off a star: -they were 45 minutes late in delivering the cake, which normally I wouldn't have sweated too much but we were planning on surprising my dad at a certain time, which I told the studio, and we had to push it back a little. -there was way too much icing compared to the cake part and barely any fruit filling -didn't include the cream cheese cream, was just standard cream/icing Overall though, the cake tasted and looked great and they completed the order with less than 2 weeks notice so I will definitely give them another shot read more

What a disappointment. We ordered cake pops, cupcakes and a cake for a baby shower expecting 75 or so in attendance. We provided pictures of what we were looking for. I'm not at all familiar with even simple baking, but Lisa was patient and absolutely wonderful at working with us online to explain the choices we needed to make and the reasons behind them. The day before the shower, I checked in to ensure that everything was on track, wanting no surprises the day of the event, and Lisa assured me via email that everything was good to go. Unfortunately, that was not really the case. The cake and cupcakes matched the photos we supplied and were delicious, but upon delivery I was told that the cake pops would be late and then during the event received a text that they actually were not done at all. Yes, one third of the order was simply not done and we did not find out until it was too late to even run up the street and find some substitutes at a local bakery. Later, I was told that this part of the contract had been outsourced and not adequately managed. So, if we accept this explanation, while I would recommend this bakery for an event where you can be flexible in case the order is only partially complete, I can't recommend them for an event where the bakery item is key, such as a wedding cake. Although the part you get may be tasty and lovely, you need to be prepared to get only part of what you contract for. read more

I am incredibly disappointed. I ordered and paid for a two- tier birthday cake for my husband's 50th birthday. I ordered the week of the party so I was very pleased that Imagine Cake was able to do it and I paid $365 in advance. The manager was responsive and worked with me on designs. Instructions for delivery were clear and set - the time of the party came and went with no cake - no call no show. This was a big event for us and to not even know what was happening was unfair. I would have tried hard to figure something else out had I known. I called and emailed every number I had. No response. We had to settle for a piece of cake with a candle in it. The manager did email me the following morning letting me know that the kitchen staff fell ill which I understand. I simply cannot believe that we would not have been notified. She did refund my money as well. But, did not give me the courtesy of an apology call. Would highly not recommend. read more

I have been getting my sons birthday cakes from them for a few years now and they have never failed to do an amazing job. Not only do these cakes look amazing, they also taste amazing! The cake is consistently moist and delicious, great cake to buttercream ratio. The buttercream is delicious and isn't too sweet. They do a good job of making sure the fondant isn't too thick and that most of the cake is buttercream frosting (we aren't the biggest fans of fondant). They are always very accommodating to what you want and they were able to get me my cake even though I ordered it a little last minute (a week before my sons birthday. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone! Definitely will continue to use them for all my custom cakes. Even my boyfriend who does not like cake had two slices!! read more
