This review is long overdue. I've been enjoying cupcakes from this bakery for years. It's a no frills bakery that consistently deliver quality. I purchased 4 dozen cupcakes recently and they were a huge hit. I ordered some marble and multiple specialty flavors including Godiva chocolate, Red velvet, White velvet, and Lemon classic. There were roughly 35 guests & 48 cupcakes disappeared within 20 minutes!! My red velvet cupcake was amazing & everyone enjoyed the others. During a previous celebration I tried the mocha cupcake and strawberries & cream. Freshness and flavor are always top tier. The owner of the bakery called to ensure I arrived in time to retrieve my order and helped me load it into my truck. Excellent service with a smile! read more

Grab a fresh brownie today! yummy !!! I tried to save some of it. But the fresh chocolatey taste. I couldn't resist tysm!!!

Came in shortly after moving down here. Not a long walk from the house at all. Always smelled sweet flavors and knew it had to be from here. It did not disappoint! We grabbed 3 cupcakes and 2 pastries for around 13$. We got to try the red velvet, double chocolate, and the chocolate raspberry cupcakes. All 3 of them hit the spot. The pastries, we waited until the morning to try. Holy cows! The little light fluffy crusts with a big dallop of filling! Yum! Had the apple and the strawberry one! Definitely we will be back!

Love this local bakery. I'm in a book club and when it's my turn to bring snacks the whole group gets excited because they know I'll will be bringing a dozen mixed cupcakes from Michelle's. They always have the "classic" cupcakes you hope for (red velvet!) but even better, they always have new flavors which really show the bakers are having FUN! From the recipes to the decor, they are so creative and always delicious! read more

We love Michelle's Cakes!!! I wanted a cute cake for my daughter's 14th birthday. Sent in a picture of a letter cake that we saw online and told them her favorite color is green...they turned it in to the most gorgeous cake I've ever seen! I ate all of the macarons and my daughter grabbed all of white chocolate glitter balls. The cake itself was so moist and rich. The icing is super sweet! All of the kids at her party loved it! The small round cake held a green glitter "14" sign. When we picked up the cake I had my son with me and he made sure we grabbed a couple cupcakes and mini cinnamon rolls to "hold us over" until we could get to the cake. And ofcourse, they were delicious too. read more

My husband got me chocolate covered strawberries and sugar cookies for Valentine's Day. They were seriously the best sugar cookies I have ever had - soft and chewy for several days after purchase. I especially liked the pink/sprinkles chocolate covered strawberry, and the "Love" sugar cookies. read more

I drop in as often as I can to pick up something for desert. The ladies in the shop are friendly and the treats are yummy. I love walking in and being able to see them in the back making and decorating cakes. The cheesecake is one of my go to items. I tried the butter pecan cupcake and was pleasantly surprised. It was loaded with pecans and didn't have that artificial taste. I have not been disappointed with any of the items I have tried. Because they are closed Sunday - Tuesday, I pick up enough on Friday or Saturday to last me through to Wednesday. I went in one day looking for a very specific cake, unfortunately, it is an item not on their menu. However, they suggested a few places for me to check out. I love when a business is secure enough to recommend their competitors. read more

This is the best cake place I've ever been to. The people were so nice and helpful and made a beautiful cake for my son's 16th birthday. On top of that it tasted amazing! The best red velvet cake and a very happy 16-year-old. Highly recommend. read more

Michelle's Cakes is a dessert shop 35 minutes south of Washington, D.C. in Indian Head, Maryland. From the outside, it looks like an old general store drawing you in. However, it's a dessert shop instead. Michelle usually takes cake orders for all kinds of events and occasions, but she does have a storefront where you can buy cupcakes made daily (and the menu rotates). Outside, you can sit on benches on the front porch. My daughter and I had a yellow cupcake with chocolate frosting. I am sure the cakes are great, but the cupcakes were just okay. They tasted like cupcakes you can buy for less money at a grocery store. read more

Terrible customer service. Rude. Condescending. After posting a negative review about her on Google, her demeanor changed. Haha.

I was more than pleased with them. I came in with a last-minute order, and they were able to fulfill my order, which came out great. I am a forever customer now. read more

September 17, 2023 was my wedding day and it was not what I expected! I have had some communication issues before hand but I still chose to use this bakery. I trusted Michelle's cakes to provide a service for a very important part of my life. Instead I got a wedding cake that look like a child decorated it along with it looking like the leaning tower of Pisa in my wedding photos! What I discussed vs what I got look nothing alike! She is unprofessional and full of it! I am hurt and displeased because I cannot get that day or photo back. Every time someone post that HORRIBLE CAKE I get upset all over again. read more

So glad for the referral of this wonderful bakery. Michelle did a FANTASTIC job with an old fashioned cake done 65 years ago! It was so similar to the original it was amazing! Can't refer or give this bakery enough stars for the great tasting cake with just enough sweetness in the icing! Superb! read more

The cakes are making and I'm not much of a cake person. I'm my opinion the cakes are somehow tasting better than the cupcakes. But service is great, you just show them what you want and it'll be ready within a few days. read more

We were blown away with our wedding cake! It was simply stunning and the taste was amazing! There was literally 1 plate left of cake- my guests came up for seconds it was so good. I suggest asking your caterer to save you a slice of each flavor. We did strawberries & cream, chocolate with raspberry filling and maple walnut. The maple walnut was my favorite! read more

Michelle's Cakes is now my go-too for all personalized baking needs. I requested a last minute birthday cake and not only was her company able to accommodate but at a much better price. In addition, she was one of the few who offered "dairy-free" selection. We were extraordinarily pleased the design and taste. The pickup process was convenient and efficient. I highly recommend Michelle Cakes and will absolutely be a repeat customer. read more

Best Cupcakes ever, so good!!! The staff is absolutely wonderful too. My sister in law was unable to find troll cupcakes for my nieces birthday anywhere local this Fall. She called Michelle's cakes and we picked up the most beautiful troll cupcakes that tasted amazing!! If you have seen pictures of there cake creations you already know the talent of the staff. I don't think there is anything they can't create into a cake. Their cakes/cupcakes designs are just amazing visually and in taste. read more

I am truly happy I was able to find this place, as my precious order from another bakery was canceled due to ongoing conditions affecting the U.S. From the first moment of communication, they ensured my order was correct and to my liking. So happy my son enjoyed his cake and having his favorite characters on it made it even more special. I will add it was delicious and moist!!! Please support them! read more

The cupcakes and cookies are amazing, pricey, but amazing. They mainly have gourmet versions of the old standards chocolate cake, brownies, coffee cake, red velvet cake, chocolate chip cookies, red velvet chocolate chip cookies, zucchini bread, and chocolate zucchini bread. The German chocolate cupcake was fantastic and the walnut chocolate chip cookie was just like mom used to make. read more

Hands down the best cakes I ever tasted. You are definitely missing out if you haven't tried Michelle's Cakes. My go to place even if there's no event calling for a cake. Sometimes it's just because they are that good. read more

The cupcakes were really moist and freshly made. The only problem we had was the lack of icing on the cakes. For the $2.50/cupcake you'd think you'd get a little more. Other than that they were great. It does make me hesitant to buy a custom cake because I'd be afraid there would only be minimal icing (which everyone knows is the best part of the cake). We'd try this place again - maybe it was an odd day for the icing. read more

This place has the driest cupcakes ever. Then we were turned off by the women that were baking, not wearing gloves. The only cupcake that was tasty was the lemon flavored ones, but this was before we saw no gloves. The customer service was average, but no rudeness whatsoever. Their prices are very high! read more

Both the service and the cake were extraordinary! Once again Michelle's has listened and delivered. When I told Michelle of the surprise party for my wife, she listened to the details and asked questions in order to create the perfect cake. And because she heard me mention "surprise" Michelle attached lightweight paper over the top of the box to seal the small areas around the fold of the box. It helped keep my wife's curiosity at bay. My wife and the guest were very much surprised when I had opened the box and displayed the cake. Michelle remembered my wife's favorite flavor (strawberries and cream) which was bottom layer and she also thoughtfully did top layer in vanilla to allow those with a more simple palate to enjoy the celebration as well. read more
