This is my go to local bakery. I've had 2 speciality cakes made here with Terry and I'm always impressed. I don't feel a need to search for another bakery. Another great plus is that she has a glass display with fresh "basic" and "speciality" flavored cupcakes for purchase that way you can taste your cake and fillings before putting in an order. It is a small bakery but with good timing and patience I think you will be satisfied with the customer service & future order. I don't have the best pics but each cake was Raspberry Champagne. My fave ! read more

O.M.G. These are some of the best cupcakes I have tasted...and I have conducted a lot of taste tests around the DMV..lol. It is worth the drive to Waldorf. The owner is very friendly and has a great selection of cupcakes. They are also very reasonably priced. I will not be going all the way to Georgetown anymore...especially since I think these taste better and you don't have to deal with the parking madness! Try them out...I am sure you will like them. My favorites are the Pineapple Dump Cake cupcake and the coconut custard....ohhh...and the triple chocolate delight...and the... well...you get the picture. lol read more

This is the first time I've ever written a review, but because I spent a lot of money on this cake I had to leave my opinion. The establishment: The business appeared cluttered and unorganized. There were boxes and baking pans/molds in plastic bins throughout the entrance where the patrons stand (which is already small, to begin with). I don't have to work there so I didn't care too much about the space, but from a customer's point of view that comes across as unprofessional. The consultation: When I entered the establishment and placed my cake order it did not feel personable for me to have been placing a custom ordered cake. It felt like they were in the middle of doing something and I disrupted them by entering the store and placing an order. I was only asked what flavor, how many people did I want it to feed, and what I wanted to be written on the cake. A few years ago, I placed a cake order with Charles Street bakery in La Plata for an event. When I placed my order with them, they had someone sit me down at a table to provide my vision of what I wanted the cake to be. They asked for pictures if I had any favoring ideas, colors, designs, if I wanted a tiered cake versus a sheet cake, etc. With Simply Cakelicious, I was not even asked what kind of icing I wanted or if I wanted filling. Side note: I ordered a strawberry sheet cake. At Charles Street, I ordered a 2 tiered lemon cake with blueberry purée filling and I came up with the entire cake by bouncing ideas off of the employee I did the consultation with. The down payment: When I placed the cake order I had to do a down payment. Perfectly fine. The cake was $85 and I put down $26.50 ($1.50 for a cupcake that I purchased while I was there). When I returned a week later to complete the payment, a young white female was behind the counter and gave off an attitude. I brushed it off. Once she found my paper that had my order, I asked her to confirm that it was a strawberry cake (which it was) and asked her if she could document that I wanted the icing whipped. Without hesitation she said "WE DON'T DO WHIPPED ICING... WE DON'T RECOMMEND IT ON OUR CAKES". No explanation as to why... which I didn't understand because I've had whipped icing on numerous cakes. Is it a special flour or sugar that they use that conflicts with whipped icing? I was confused. Now if she said something along the lines of (picture it being the summertime) "oh well we don't recommend whipped icing for the cakes because of the temperature this time of the year blah blah blah" then I would have totally understood. Never let your customers walk away confused. I also asked her if she could make sure that the cake was moist. She just said "mhm" and proceeded to take my credit card without writing any note on the form or anything. At that moment I should have canceled the order based on her attitude alone. The cake: I'm going to start by saying that I fought tooth and nail to order this cake. My family wanted to buy a cake from Giant because they did not want to spend over $40 on a cake. With that being said, this cake was dry AS HELL! I was VERY disappointed. The icing was hard. The cake that was leftover was wrapped in foil and when I went to eat it it was hard as a brick. I was EXTREMELY disappointed and my family probably talked about me behind my back about this cake because I saw that majority of the plates in the trash can had maybe one or two bites taken. Conclusion: I will NEVER purchase from this business again. If this bakery was satisfactory I would have used it for a bridal shower in the spring but that obviously will not happen. I should have followed my instincts. read more

Amazing! I have used this bakery for birthday cakes for years! I can bring in any picture of any cake and they always do a great job! My most recent order was for a 2 tier transformer cake for my son's 6th birthday. The cake looked incredible and tasted even better! The apple cinnamon layer was especially good. read more

I ordered my wedding cake and cupcakes from Simply Cakelicious. We have had cupcakes from them prior to me ordering my cake and they were very good so I went with them for our wedding cake. Well on our reception day we went to take the cake out of the box and you can see the pictures I have attached. I am very disappointed with the owner of the company for being extremely rude when I called her concerning my cake catastrophe!!! When we opened the box the cake was all over the place! So I called her business and ask for the owner I was told she wasn't in so I explained to them what was going on. So the lady tells me.. oh, just get 2 spatula's and put the cake back upright... I am thinking this is not going to fix the issue. It was a four tier cake with no dowel rods in the cake to hold it together and when I placed the order I let her know how far we lived from her business and that the reception was on a farm!! So I did it and it made it more of a mess. So the owner calls me and I tell her what's going on. She is rude with me asking where I live so she can come try to fix the cake . She wanted me to text her pictures, which I sent her many. So she shows up to our wedding reception and is very rude to my daughters and mother. Throws the cake box across my moms kitchen floor and getting icing everywhere. So needless to say my cake looked nothing like it was suppose to. I have not gotten any phone call or text message from the owner concerning this matter and I am very very disappointed with her and her company!!! Oh and the cake was suppose to have our initials on it with a heart around it and that was not even done!! I have a picture of the cake I wanted and the mess I got! read more

I'm very disappointed in this establishment. This was my first time visiting and I found out about them here on Yelp. I wanted to try their cupcakes and would have probably become a regular customer. It smelled heavenly when I walked in the bakery. I chose my cupcakes and went to present my card for my $6 purchase and was told I'd have to pay an additional $2 for bank charges. Their new policy as of 1 October is any purchase under $50 will be charged a $2 transaction fee. In the world as it is now, not many carry cash. But to pay $2 (the price of a cupcake) to purchase 3 cupcakes is really sad. There are too many charging systems out now to not charge your customers $2 for reach transaction. For me to take the time to write this means it really got under my skin. It speaks loudly of this establishment's management principles. read more

The first time I went to Simply Cakelicious, I was not impressed. I think they had just opened a few weeks prior to my initial visit. I cannot remember what cupcake I ordered but it was NOT good! So I never went back. I would literally see this bakery every day and would not go in! Just recently my neighbor told me she bought some cupcakes for her husband's birthday and how good they were. I could not believe it. So today I go to get cupcakes for my son's birthday. The bakery smelled SO good! Now I'm getting excited! The lady in front of me says to another lady, how good the cupcakes were! I decided to purchase 8 cupcakes; the German Chocolate, Apple Caramel, Sweet Potato, Lemon, Cookies and Cream, Key Lime and Marble and Blueberry Lemon!! TheSweet Potato and the Key Lime are my faves!! They were ALL delicious!! I was very impressed!! I will return to get more cupcakes!! Keep up the good work!! read more

The cupcake "sliders" are amazing! You get the best dessert combination with the cupcake, brownie, and fun "condiments." Definitely my all time favorite! read more

They are too much of a hit or miss. The staff and owner are always super polite but the cupcakes are definitely something that you can make with a box of Betty Crocker. Very rarely will you find some cake slices that are phenomenal there if they have any there at all. read more

Simply delicious... From the service to the cupcakes to the birthday cake they made for my son's 7th Birthday. We found this bakery by just driving past. We were searching for a bakery to create the soccer ball cake my son wanted. So we decided to taste the delicious cupcakes that are on display and was sold. Everyone We spoke with were very helpful and kind. We ordered a 10inch soccer ball cake and let me tell you, the cake looked just like a perfectly round soccer ball. On top of that the cake was moist and pretty tasty. Sometimes cakes are decorated beautifully but the taste isn't that great, not in this case. Thank you for making my little guy so happy, he loved his cake. Will definitely do business with them again. read more

Simply Cakelicious - Perfect soccer ball cake, my 7 year old little guy was too thrilled... - Bakeries Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

I've had the pleasure to enjoy their cupcakes on several occasions. The flavor and decor never disappoint.

I visited Simply Cakelicious recently on a whim to satisfy my sweet tooth. I purchased a cupcake, walked to my car and ate a small piece. It was disgusting and I promptly returned it to the bakery for a refund. The associate helping me wasn't able to process the refund, so she asked the manager/owner for instructions and was told no refunds, exchange only. I asked for the manager to come to the front to speak to me. When she arrived, I explained that the cupcake was inedible, hard, did not taste like cake, and had a bad flavor. She advised that the cakes are stored at 32 degrees and the cupcake would be fine after it sat out for a while. We went back and forth for a few minutes, and I accepted a replacement cupcake located in a different area that was chilled frozen, as a refund was not going to be made. I ate the cupcake two days later and was underwhelmed by the taste. It was no longer hard but the flavor was lacking and the cake consistency was really off. I would never recommend this place, you can get better cake products elsewhere. read more

I called to place a large order for cupcakes for my hospital thanksgiving party. The customer service representative acted like I was a bother to her. I asked about the different cupcakes they had. I told her I heard they have a very good upside down pineapple cupcake. She cut me off mid-sentence stating "we are not making that cupcake anymore, we are focusing on pies." So, I asked her what are the flavors of the cupcakes and she proceeded running through the different flavors like she needed me off the phone at once. I said Ok I like to place an order and she hung up on me. I called back and I asked politely did you just hung up on me. She said I said hello and you said nothing. I told her I said OK, I would like to place an order. She told me I took to long. Keep in mind she was running through the flavors of cupcakes so fast I was just trying to remember them. Now this is the really kicker. I asked to speak to a manager and I over heard the manager said I don't have time to speak to anyone. I call her back. The rude customer service representative repeated just what her manager said. I did leave my number for her to call me back. I was about to place and order for 200 cupcakes but I will not be ordering from this place ever. They seem not to be well organized or able to handle large orders during the holiday season . I called Jerrod's in Oxon Hill and got great customer service. Thank you, Andrea read more

My rating/review is based off of customer service. However, the quality of cake is pretty good. In regards to my conversation/exchange within the store Saturday, February 15th.... I appreciated her initial attempt to rectify the issue that I had with the cake, by adding pink sparkle dust. However, the cake provided was far from what I asked for. The picture that I presented to the owner and the young lady Millie, on January 17th, was quoted by the owner at $35, for a buttercream replica of a pink cake. When the lady that was working the front counter showed the owner the picture of what I actually wanted that morning, the owner responded with "That's the picture she sent to Millie? Well I never got it. Also, tell her that would've been a $65 cake". That was honestly extremely rude, unprofessional & dismissive. As if I should just be happy with what I was given, because it was much less than what I was expecting.  The price wasn't an issue for me. It was simply what I was quoted, based off of the picture I showed them. I was instructed by HER employee to text a picture to her personal cell, and she'd ensure that it was given to the baker. HER employee clearly dropped the ball, and that was of no fault of mine. I had a ton of stuff to do, and it was the day of my child's birthday party, so I had to work with what I had. I've emailed the baker before with no response, and I'm sure the email that was sent regarding this situation Saturday, will receive the same amount of attention. Zero! There was no discount extended, either. Just a nonchalant, deal with it attitude.... read more
