You did an amazing job on the cake for my partner's birthday. Which coincided with the opening of his Brewery, Red Bear Brewing. I sent a logo picture to you and asked for a two layer cake, cream cheese frosting, red exterior with black piping, and what I got was really a masterpiece of moist cake, delicious cream cheese, and artful fondant. I can't thank you enough for the hard work, and it was worth every penny. read more

Let me first start off by saying I came to them because off my sister n law all of her cakes have tasted and looked amazing, not sure what happened with my order. I do not even know where to begin, I wish I had of read the YELP reviews before I spent my hard earned money on what I received. My main reason for writing this review is because the treatment I received was awful. After they received the payment for my daughters first birthday smash cake, I barely had any further contact with them. I wanted confirmation that the money was received via pay pal and then I also wanted to make sure everything was all set and ready to go so that they cake would be delivered. I emailed Lisa, and received a reply- I thought all would be well. To my surprise on the day of the party I arrived at the venue and receive a text message saying the cake was dropped off. I feel like they did this because the cake looked nothing like the images Lisa and I discussed via email the week prior. Not only did the cake not look like what we went over but the colors were WAY OFF. My daughter was turning 1 years old we wanted a dream catcher cake for her to smash with light soft pinks and aqua colors . I received a drab cornbread tasting cake with turquoise and hot pink frosting, for 162.00- I assume they didn't think I would taste it since it was a smash cake, I am beyond appalled. Then Chef Ron had the audacity to tell me what color the icing was as if I didn't see it for my self, then he asked me to provide photos which I did, this was a terrible experience to only be refunded 20 bucks from a almost 200 dollar cake order. Normally I order my cakes from Cake Plus in Laurel, MD- going forward I will make sure to ONLY go to Cake Plus because I would rather be respected and treated right wherever I spend my money. read more

I ordered 30 cupcakes for my daughter's birthday. They were beautiful and Imagine Cake Studio executed my vision perfectly. The cupcakes were really moist and tasted fresh, and I loved the delivery option which had the cupcakes delivered right on time for an extra fee (in lieu of me picking them up in Petworth which is also an option). read more

If you need a dependable and accountable business to respond to your 5 telephone calls and emails within a month after contacting them, do not come here. We called and left messages and emailed this business a month ago for a birthday party to occur mid-October. They responded a week before (4 weeks after we contacted them) saying they are over-booked. Terrible follow through. Now we're stuck trying to locate a place who makes cakes without eggs.... they do not know how to run a business...: Response to your post: You are confusing two different orders ma'am. We responded to your email with questions and you never responded even after several emails and several phone calls. The very least you could do was respond to us letting us know that you were not able to work with us. This way we would have enough time to look for alternative options. That is the way one should behave if you are running a business.... Second response: Before someone puts in an order and parts with their money, one should know if you could make a cake with low sugar and no eggs right? Sorry for your medical issues. It's nice to see how much attention and timeliness you put into your Yelp responses. I wish you could have responded a bit more timely when we asked about the low sugar request. Anyway, wishing you and your business well. read more

I wanted a Game of Thrones cake and sent an image to replicate - which they said they could do. They did not communicate effectively. The week of the cake pick up, I called three times and left two emails to confirm what their address was - all over a span of three days. They didn't get back to me until the third call. And when they did call back, I was told the pickup location was at a convenient store called "Quick Stop". The call with Chef Ron took me back by surprise when I started asking questions. He was rude and unprofessional, mentioned he was overwhelmed, and said customer service/their marketing team was on vacation (which I didn't think was a reason for being rude or unprofessional). Towards the end of the call, he threatened to not provide any service (asking, "Do you want the cake or not?" when it was just a few days before pickup) and hung up because he needed to answer other calls. When we went to go pick up the cake, it was just as the name of the convenient store implied. You want the stop to be quick because of how unsafe and rundown the location pick up was. I immediately started laughing when I saw the cake. It was so terrible that the whole situation was comical. It looked nothing like the picture at all. However I will say, Chef Ron was nice enough to give me a full refund when I called to make a complaint after receiving the cake. He said that Imagine Cake Studio had another order the same week, which he held above my order. He took half of the blame as well as gave half of the blame to the humidity that week. Which was no excuse, since it's always humid in the DMV, especially in the beginning of June. read more

I ordered a cake for my daughters first birthday and I cannot be happier with their service. I am recommending them to EVERYONE! All the moms and dads at my daughters first birthday RAVED about how beautiful it was, then about how DELICIOUS it was! Ordering was so easy and stress free. I emailed them a sample picture from Pinterest and I got an exact replica, or better! We exchanged a few emails (I'm a first time mom so I had questions about size and portions) they were answers very quickly and within hours my order was placed and bill paid! They do everything via PayPal which is so much easier! I requested a 1pm delivery and the driver called me ahead of time, texted and arrived early! I cannot be happier! I was nervous they would arrive late or too early, but it was PERFECT! Thank you guys so much for making my vision come to life and for creating such a great cake! Will be ordering from you guys from here on out! read more

We ordered a cake for my daughters 4th birthday. Ordering was easy and straightforward. They responded quickly with great options. We ordered a 1/4 sheet cake with a design on top. Delivery was prompt and exactly as agreed. The cake arrived in perfect condition. The cake was absolutely adorable and exceeded our expectations. Expertly decorated, beautiful cake. My daughter was over the moon. The cake itself was delicious as was the frosting. Delicate flavor, not too sweet. Just perfect. I will be ordering from them again any time I need a cake! read more

I had the most positive experience with Chef Ron and Imagine Cake Studio!

The cake was absolutely delicious and it matched my vision for the cake perfectly. I would highly recommend Chef Ron and Imagine Cake Studio :) read more

Imagine Cake Studio - Star Wars birthday cake - Desserts Near Me

It is unfortunate that I have to write this review because I like their cakes, but my personal experience with them was disappointing. I contacted them to order a birthday cake. I had no issues placing the order. However, when the cake arrived, it was not what I had ordered, which is very frustrating when you spend $100 on a cake. I asked for the cake flavors to be layers of chocolate and vanilla cake; I made it clear that I wanted the flavors layered and not half and half. The cake arrived with half chocolate cake and half yellow cake, so not only was it not layered, it also wasn't the flavor that I ordered. Additionally, I asked for vanilla frosting but what I received was chocolate frosting. I contacted Imagine Cake Studio twice regarding the errors and no one ever reached out to me to resolve the issue or even acknowledge the mistake. Like I said, it's unfortunate that I have to write this review, and while the quality of the cake was good, it did not match the quality of the service. read more

Imagine Cake Studio - Celebratory cake. - Desserts Near Me

Hands down, this is the BEST CAKE I've ever had (and that includes my own wedding cake!). We hired Imagine Cake Studio after several rounds of discussion, pricing, and looking at many other vendors. The reasons I initially decided to work with them was their prompt response to my vision, (Breakfast at Tiffany's/Bride & Co. themed bridal shower), and their prices. Tracy Petterson, the Customer Service Manager, was the example of perfect customer service! She was prompt, responsive, understanding, and supportive of our needs. She even worked out the pricing to meet our budget! The pricing was extremely reasonable and she even found us a cake stand and ensured delivery was seamless. Having made the decision "taste-unseen", I was not prepared for the QUALITY we received. The taste of the cake far exceeded our expectations!!!! Many of the ladies at the shower commented that it was the best cake and cake-pop they ever had!!! Everyone wanted to take the left-overs home!! Thank you to imagine cake studios for a great execution of our vision and superior products! I would definitely recommend to anyone seeking a cake for the special event! read more

BEWARE! GHOSTED ONCE CAKE WAS PAID FOR. I paid for my cake ($200+) a month in advance and never heard back from Imagine Cake Studio despite multiple emails, text messages and voicemails. I had to purchase a last minute day of party replacement. Baker claimed that cake was made and dropped off at pick up point but the pick up time (set by baker) was an hour before my party and I could not risk baker not coming through since they did not respond to any form of communication. I also tried to contact the pick up point and they did not answer their phone. I lost my $200+. Paypal was no help in recovering money. I only heard from the baker once I filed a complaint with Paypal. They claimed cake was baked and delivered and apologized for lack of communication. They sent what they claim is a picture of my cake but the link they sent did not work so I still have my doubts. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! read more

I got a cake for my friend's birthday gathering. the cake was nice looking but definitely not what i asked for. i asked for a strawberry shortcake and just got a plain vanilla cake. they said the mistake was due to miscommunication in the kitchen but i feel like the instructions were simple. i even talked to someone on the phone explaining what i wanted and he told me to fill out an inquiry form where i indicated the exact order. i'm giving three stars for the prompt communication and they offered a discount for my next cake--won't be using. i think they should pay more attention to detail and improve the communication among each other because getting a wrong cake is very disappointing. read more

Contacted them for cupcake tower with a 8 inch cake needed for my mothers 50th birthday party. All in all, the end product turned out great! BUT the process of getting it was very unprofessional. This is understandable due to this being a start up company versus a full on bakery but customer service is key! The representative was not professional, and the correspondence between us was frustrating. The chef picked up her slack as best as he could, but he is a chef not a customer service person and it showed. If you can deal with sub-par customer service at the sacrifice for a great cake it is worth it! They did not provide a tower, I had to purchase one myself. I definitely give the cake and decorations 5 stars! read more

I ordered a cake last minute. I needed it within 4 days and they really came through for me. It was a hit! I will be coming to imagine cake studio for all of my future cake needs. Not to mention the taste was amazing. read more

The order was quickly and fast. The cake looked better than what I had in my mind. I asked half vanilla and half chocolate and it tasted very good. I took one star out because of the late delivery. Hopefully I ordered the cake one day prior to the birthday, so the delay was not a problem. But what If I didn't?! And they did not let me know that they would be late. But overall they were very professional, quick email reply and the cake was very well made. I do recommend this place! read more

The cake was gorgeous and tasted amazing!! Exceeded my expectations. Very professional and they deliver!

This review is about 4 months late but even today, I still feel as upset as I did on October 6th, 2018. If I could give 0 stars, I would. I celebrated my 30th birthday with a private dinner party in DC and after debating between three options, I decided to order my cake from Imagine Cake Studios. Not only did I never receive my cake, the owner called me to "apologize" while I was at my party and then ended up yelling at me to "calm down" as I rightfully freaked out over not having my birthday night be perfect. The experience started with Lisa, a Custoner Service Manager, who was professional and very pleasant. She confirmed my order and even said she would get them to send me a picture of the cake before delivery to make sure it was what I wanted. On the day, I was so busy running around enjoying my birthday that I didn't even realize the picture never came. I got to the venue and that was when I realized there was no cake. I emailed Lisa (our main form of communication) and instead of enjoying my time with my guests, I stood outside calling all the numbers I had for them. After about 15 minutes with no luck, I gave up and went to try to enjoy my party. About halfway through the night, I received a call from the owner, wanting to apologize because somehow my order got misplaced so the cake was never even made. I was upset but trying to remain calm as he offered to bring me a standard undecorated cake that they had in stock. I was asking him questions trying to make sense of what was happening, still on the verge of tears and still trying to remain calm when he had the nerve to raise his voice, telling me to calm down because he was trying to "help" me. At that point, I lost it. I told him all I wanted was my money back. I was so livid that he would dare to raise his voice at me that i had to spend about 10 minutes in the bathroom calming myself down. 30 only comes once and unfortunately for me, my 30th birthday was ruined by Imagine Cake Studio. read more

The cake was so sooo delicious.. They are very professional in mail correspondence and delivery..

Imagine Cake Studio took my order (and charged me) for a custom cake for a bridal shower, to be delivered directly to the venue. I called and emailed a few days prior to the event to confirm the order. Regardless, on the day of the shower the cake failed to arrive. I immediately called and was told the order had never been processed. The person I spoke to on the phone went above and beyond to get me another cake in time for the party - it wasn't exactly what I had ordered, but was absolutely delicious and our guests were none the wiser. He saved the day. read more

I will DEFINITELY be coming back. I wanted to get a dragonball Z birthday cake and found a picture on Pinterest of exactly what I wanted. I filled out the contact/request form on the website, submitted the photo, and got an estimate response very quickly. Price was pretty reasonable considering this was going to be a design cake. The process was seamless and the cake was PERFECT!!! I provided the toy/cake topper. Baker delivered it himself and he's awesome, even helped me figure out where to place the toy. I am 1000% going to use this bakery for all of my custom cake needs now. Love it. read more

So glad we found Imagine Cake Studio. They did a great job with a custom cake for my husband's military retirement. The cake had a lovely fondant flag draped over it.

I'm going to start by saying that this is going to be a long review because the bakery went above and beyond just making a delicious cake!! A little background-- my husband's grandmother sadly passed away from cancer in February. We realized that our time was limited with her in by the Fall and spent many weekends traveling back and forth to New Jersey. In the midst of all of this, I messaged a bakery that I had used before to make my son a cake for his 5th birthday. I was so excited to give him a break from all of the grief that our family was facing. Fast forward to the week of his birthday... I messaged the bakery to ask if I could drop off the figurines early since we needed to rush off to New Jersey. (My husbands grandmother's health took a major decline and she was expected to pass within the next days... ). I was informed that she was not making the cake because she never received a contract... (we were never emailed a contract and I figured that our correspondences about flavor/decor/date/ etc... was a confirmation)... well, you can probably imagine how sad I was. We were rushing to say goodbye to the matriarch of our family. I was buying grief books for the kids and mentally preparing them for what was going to happen... this birthday, as silly as it sounds, was the one glimpse of positivity that we had. The cake was representative of the day. He had picked out the flavors, the design, the figures to put on top... usually I would shrug it off as an unfortunate event, but given the timing, this was soooo upsetting. I'm not one to bash businesses or make a fuss, so I simply asked a local Facebook group for recommendations for a bakery that could make his cake in time (we were days away from his party). Let me start of by saying that I got so many responses from local bakers. I was and still am so touched by all of the support. I decided to message the first person who responded, and went with Imagine Cake Studio. I corresponded with Tracy who went above and beyond to make the whole process as stress free as possible. She knew that we were rushing to New Jersey and met us at a location close to our home within hours of posting. I handed her the figurines and she asked if she could give me a hug. She was soooo kind and supportive. Fast forward closer to the party and I had to reschedule the party. Doctors said that my husbands grandmother would pass any day but she held on. We rescheduled for the following week... we then had to reschedule yet another time as our grandmother's funeral needed to be held on the new party date. I felt so bad about rescheduling but attach was so sympathetic and understanding each time. We were finally able to celebrate my son's birthday on March 8th. The cake was exactly what we had asked for. My son was soooo excited!! The cake also tasted as delicious as it looked!! Another important thing to note is that the baker delivered it himself and waived the delivery fee. He was so nice to our family and to the birthday boy. We didn't know it at the time but that would be the last time that my son would see his friends and family for months as everything shut down days later due to Covid-19. I'm so grateful that my son got the celebration that he had wanted! 2020 has indeed been a remarkably tough year but I'm happy to say that his 5th birthday party will be a positive memory. I am so thankful for such an amazing bakery that went above and beyond making a 5 year old's birthday cake read more

Imagine Cake Studio did not disappoint in any way. From the start of my order up to the day I actually received my cake was a pleasant experience. Lisa made the entire transaction very easy. She stayed in contact with me and gave me the most up to date information so that I had no worries on delivery day. The cake was gorgeous, the taste was amazing, and the cake to frosting ratio was perfect. I will definitely be ordering my next cake from here as I had no complaints whatsoever. Thanks again Ronald and Lisa for providing great service and a delicious cake! read more

Five stars all the way! I found Imagine Cake Studio by randomly googling cake bakery/delivery businesses in D.C. It was perfect. For my daughter's 30th birthday they made a gorgeous and delicious chocolate cake with my requested princess design AND after we realized delivery to her apartment bldg (while she was at work) was not possible, Imagine delivered it to her workplace. It was a huge hit, and I highly recommend Imagine Cake Studio! read more
