    Absolutely incredible design and flavor/texture. The Marines in my building could not stop raving about it. Do not hesitate to order from her!!

    Cupcake variety

    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!

    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.

    Strawberry shortcake

    Thank you so much! The strawberry shortcake cake was everything. I have searched high and low trying to find the best cake place in the years I've been residing in Virginia and this was ITTTTT. Thank you again Michelle's cake and crew!!!!

    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.

    I ordered this cake for my daughter birthday . I just showed pics from Pinterest what I want and they made this cake and it's even better then I expected! I really appreciate a good service and always love to support small business who does amazing job!

    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.

    Perfection! Just adorable decorating and delicious tasting Cake! We love this business! They are prompt to back to you. Pick up is effortless! Payment is easy. Just love ordering from here.

    What I got! Just to be clear to the owner we cut the cake from the bottom so DON'T TRY AND PLAY ME!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    It's okay. Not a lot of options when you walk in. Cupcakes are great but very overpriced.

    Bree's has moved to Accokeek!…read more This cupcakery is described as an 'old-fashioned bakery with a youthful touch' - it was started back in '11 when Bree (Breana), was just 12 years old! She started off making baked goods for friends, families, and for her church, and did all through an online operation. It became such a success that she finally opened up her own little shop (and, I'm so glad that she did!!!)! Flavors ranged from Carrot Walnut Raisin, Coconut, Snickerdoodle, Peaches n Cream, and Mint Chocolate are some of the cupcake offerings, as well as cookies, brownies, pies (apple, sweet potato, lemon meringue, and pumpkin), and sweet breads (apple cinnamon, banana walnut, cranberry, and sweet potato). I tried a Red Velvet (with cream cheese frosting), Strawberry Dream (strawberry cupcake topped with a strawberry cream cheese frosting and slices of fresh strawberries), Rainbow Sherbert (my absolute favorite, as it tasted like a tropical loveliness in your mouth!), and a Lemon Supreme (lemon cupcake topped with a lemon frosting and a fresh lemon wedge). All the cupcakes were so moist and not too sweet, and the frostings were flavored as well. I highly suggest in coming early, as their cupcakes run out quickly. +Rainbow Sherbert cupcake +Strawberry Dream +Lemon Supreme +plenty of parking

All of the baked goods are amazing. Recently I had a sweet potato pie from there and it was the best I've ever had. The staff is always nice and friendly. The bakery has limited space to eat in which is a plus.

    I am so disappointed in this bakery! I have been there so many times and have ordered many cakes…read more This time I ordered a 1/4 sheet "My singing monster" for my son's 4th birthday. When I got an estimate and description of the cake it all sounded great. I was told there would be "monsters" on the cake and they would be edible, some trees and what not. The cake was $88.00. When I got there, the cake looked nothing like I was picturing from the conversation and it was very underwhelming, it had the logo on top, and ONE monster on the side and trees and greenery. The trees and greenery was fine but literally ONE monster on the side. I just did not expect to pay $88 for one monster. I am not one to discredit anyone's art but this was really ridiculous. . I addressed the girl at the front and she told me that they could add some sprinkles, a couple of monsters and that I would need to be charged 23 dollars AND I would have to come by several hours later to get the cake, I declined because it was the day of my sons party and his party was in just a couple of hours. This was a very sad experience and probably would not purchase a cake here again. Attached is the cake. Once I got home I added sprinkles of my own and a couple of picks to living it up. Giving 1 star because over all the cakes taste was good, but decorations and communication really lacked.
