    The Grinch cupcakes (key lime cake, pineapple filling, and coconut icing), vanilla cupcake, and cinnamon cupcake with eggnog buttercream
    Chelsea M.

    My husband and I stopped here today after reading the great reviews. We have been tricked by the rave reviews of other places before, but this bakery lived up to the hype. The bakery is eclectic and fun. The flavors and themes for Christmas were cute and fun. I tried a plain vanilla cupcake, the Grinch cupcake, and a cupcake with eggnog buttercream. All three cupcakes were very good. The icing was the correct texture and the flavors were on point. The cupcakes themselves were also moist and well made. Overall this is our favorite bakery in Maryland, although it doesn't live up to some of our favorite bakeries privately owned nationwide.

    Had a sweet tooth craving and after the reco of my coworker informing me of this establishment being on Cake Wars my tastebuds compelled me to check them out. Located in a outdoor mini mall area you could easily not notice it's presence unless your a regular. However, inside is a cake wonder land filled with a smorgasbord of sugary samples sprinkled around the shop that would satisfy any sweet thooth. Say that 3x's fast I dare ya. I keep my focus as I eyed the many deserts and finally narrowed it down to cup cakes. They have many different varieties and sizes. The larger cupcakes has creme filling which really drew my attention. They had to be the size of a Baseball! The presentation is great as they all looked so delicious but decided on a red velvet and chocolate cupcake. I could hardly wait as the kind attendant bagged them up. Where the issue is for me after I decided to snag a little bite during work was that the cup cake was cold so cold the frosting was crusted like if you leave it out too long uncovered. My imagination of the fork carving through a fluffy moist cup cake was shattered. So I decided to let it get room temp to see what happens. Got home and for dinner decided to try again because moms didn't raise no quitter. This time the icing was room temp , the fork went through the cup cake , the cake was moist nooooooooooooo. The cake was very dry and the filling inside I didn't see until I got mid way through the cup cake which wasn't much. All in all it looked beautiful the cost really isn't bad about less than/ or $3 per creme filled cupcake. The regular sized ones are less than that. But the crusted icing and dry cupcake left a bad taste. I'm willing to try some other cupcakes just the ones that aren't refrigerated.

    Got my little wedding cake here and they did perfect! Cake ended up only being $25 + $15 for the flowers a few stores down. Affordable, beautiful, and delicious.

    The 2 cakes are made by Starry Night Bakery.

    I've had 4 cakes made by them and they all tasted amazing! I recently had them make 3 cakes for my wedding party and while the design of 2 of the cakes wasn't what I expected, they were quick to remedy the situation the best they could. I was a bit upset about the two smaller cakes, but my guests didn't know the difference and we all loved the taste. I definitely recommend the lemon cake!

    Starry Night Bakery has been around since '02 and is owned by pastry chef, Shannon. They offer a variety of desserts, such as cheesecakes, vegan/GF options, cupcakes, plated desserts, cookies, biscotti, muffins, scones, cinnamon rolls, hot/cold beverages, sandwiches, and custom-order cakes. I tried their Peanut Butter Brownie mini cheesecake (this was soft and delicate, and the peanut butter taste was the mini pb chips that decorated the top); a Mahoo Wahoo cupcake (Kona coffee chocolate with espresso glaze and espresso buttercream; this was actually featured on the 'Cupcake Wars' - while tasting the best out of the 3 cupcakes that were ordered, it was a little dry and not at all sweet), VooDoo cupcake (caramel espresso; there was hardly any caramel or espresso taste to this one; super bland), and a Lemon cupcake (also no taste and no hint of lemon flavor). The hubs ordered some sugar cookies (one rainbow and one blue sugar), and while he thought they were okay, I thought they tasted kind of stale and off! I really liked the look of the bakery, as it was a mix of vibrant purples and blacks, retro, and punk, all rolled into one - a cute little vintage stove with little baskets of packaged cookies and biscottis on display. Service was a little standoffish. There are also a handful of tables inside where you can enjoy your food, but we had ours to-go. I may be curious in trying out their 'Spam Slider' the next time if I were to come back! +bland, dry cupcakes T____T +stale sugar cookies T____T +standoffish service T____T +eclectic decor

    I had my wedding this weekend (11/18/17) and got a dessert bar with Starry Night. First and foremost, the owner Shannon was absolutely lovely to work with. When I went in for a tasting she gave me so many wonderful suggestions that the guests ended up loving. I have celiac disease as does my grandpa and aunt and the gluten free cupcakes were perfection. I can't imagine how good the regular cupcakes for the guests tasted. We also got 4 types of mini pies, cannolis, and chocolate chip cookies that people went nuts for. I had so many people ask who the vendor was so they could visit their shop. On top of it the display looked adorable. I wish my wedding photos were in so I could post a better picture of the display. So thank you to Starry Night for helping my day be even more special.

    A smash cake to compliment the Where the Wild Things Are cake served to my sons 1St Birthday guests.

    I have been in this diminutive establishment twice and have found it a great place to get gourmet…read morecupcakes. On our last stop, we tried the Cinnamon Roll Cupcake, the S'mores Cupcake and the Kitchen Sink Cupcake. All were amazing, especially the loaded Kitchen Sink variety. Their prices are fair ($3 - $4 per cupcake) and the people attending the store have been pleasant on each of our stops. There is no place to sit and I did not see that they offered hot beverages. So it is strictly a place to pick up your treats and go. The location is a little tricky. The only reason we found it the first time we stopped was due to the fact that we were moving between Chick-fil-A and Starbucks. Otherwise, it's tucked away a little bit and not easy to notice on a casual stop when visiting the establishments that comprise the major attractions at this exit (fast food and gas). But it's worth the stop if you know it's there.

    The cupcakes from the bakery are absolutely fantastic! Moist, well portioned, clever designs, and…read morebeautiful colors. If you go in their shop any given day you are sure to find delightful treats. For special occasions, they can't be beat. They made sure to ask questions for the birthday cupcake order that I placed that I had not even considered when I initially made the inquiry. Cupcakes were made exactly as requested and promptly provided at the designated time in quality containers that kept them intact during transit with no concerns of tipping or smooshing. We will absolutely be ordering here for any other upcoming special occasion.

    Another update because this is a must stop spot for me when I'm in Georgetown. Always friendly…read morestaff. Line goes quick as long as the person in front of you knows what they want by the time they get to the register (side eye) The Karen is my Go To and still has never disappointed. My husbands is The Devil (vanilla with chocolate icing) he swears by it where I often shy away from vanilla because it ends up tasting like a muffin. Not up in here! If you haven't tried the Homemade Marshmallows you are Crazy! And they make excellent gifts that last longer than a cupcake and you can eat them as is or make the best Oven s'mores of your life. The brownies are heavenly and my hubs is all about the rice crispy treats. So needless to say, I don't think you can go wrong. As a treat for yourself or another just go support this local gem.

    This is a place that we wanted to like a lot better than we did. We tried it last weekend on a…read morerainy morning, and we went into the "Baked" storefront first, where we ordered quite a few items, assuming that that was the entire selection. The folks on this side were very sweet and helpful. When we went over to "Wired" to get our coffees, there were a bunch of *other* treats over there, which nobody told us about, so that was annoying because then we would have ordered way fewer items. So we got a couple more goodies here as well as our iced coffees and a hot cocoa for our kiddo. The folks on this side were unfriendly and uninterested in customer service ("Just checking in on our quiche...?";"Oh, we totally forgot. We'll put it in now."). We weren't impressed with most of our items though some were better than others. Unsurprisingly, the cupcakes were the best; we got the nutella and "unicorn" ones, and both were moist with excellent frostings. We especially appreciated the filling in the nutella. The chocolate chip cookie was terrible--our daughter, a cookie fiend, refused to have another bite of it. We liked the novelty of the "orange dream" shortcake. As for the other stuff, the spicy sausage biscuit was not spicy at all and had the consistency of rubber. The quiche that finally came out was too oily, but we all liked the decadent cinnamon roll. Bit of a mixed bag all around, so we're settling on three stars. We ourselves won't be back, but others might have a better experience on a different day.
