My review is based on their cupcakes, I have not gotten any cakes from here. With that being said we ordered about 2 dozen cupcakes for my baby shower from here. Lots of delicious options to choose from! The cupcakes were the star of the show for our food that we had. We had their carrot cake flavor, red velvet, black and white, and cookies and cream. Yum! The cupcakes were perfectly moist. The presentation was good. Some of the flavors were a little too sweet for me. My favorite was the red velvet though the carrot cake one was quite a winner with other people. I took a star off because I feel like the staff here could have been friendlier. read more

The extremely expensive cake I purchased was horrible! Too much flour. Too heavy. The chocolate in the filling was poor quality and the rest of the vanilla cake left much to be desired. The service was friendly. The ambiance was the same as with the previous owners BUT this is clearly a different set of bakers. The Icing Baking Company is no longer a gem of cake-baking excellence. read more

We got our wedding cake here last year and it was amazing. Highly recommend the raspberry mimosa cake.

Our family has ordered three specialty cakes three times & every time we received an amazing, beautiful & delicious cake! The wedding cake for our daughters wedding & the accompanying cupcakes were so beautiful & delicious!!! Camille designed the wedding cake & did the most amazing job! It looked like it was straight out of a designer wedding cake magazine. The bakery offers cupcakes, focaccia, cookies, brownies & more! Their cinnamon rolls of not to be missed & sell out quickly. The customer service has been wonderful every time we have called, ordered & stopped in! Highly recommend!!! read more

So this is $303 before discounts. So despite the design not being exactly what I imagined when I picked it up. And despite having to wait for cake that was not ready on time. And the designer not leaving enough space on the base to add cupcakes that I paid for and lying that it could be added later. And the uneducated person on the phone fielding customer service needs of a person who already PAID In FULL vs someone In consultation with "the manager" and cupcakes that were suppose to be one flavor and getting another. Oh and the red velvet not tasting anything like it.... UGH disappointment after disappointment Should I go on.... the only positive I will say was the bottom layer on the cake was fantastically amazing. I've never tasted a better chocolate- My cake was rushed and I will go in and have a conversation with the manager and the unprofessional treatment read more

What can I say about The Icing that hasn't been said? I have never been disappointed by them, from the time they were on Courthouse Rd. To their new location on Garrisionville Rd. They have never disappointed me. I have used them for cakes for co-workers birthdays to my families birthdays and them just stopping in and buying their cupcakes or Texas sized cupcakes has always been a wonderful experience. My most recent visit in this past week had me asked for a somewhat crazy design and request for a specialty cake. I needed a cake for my wife's birthday yesterday. I did what any sane person would do, I brought the design, pictures of what what I needed them to make it look like, asked for a slightly larger cake and gave them a week to plan and execute it. I paid in advance and left them with as much direction and design concerns. In the end they delivered well above my expectations! The cake looked great and my wife was so happy and pleased. This cake had to look like her cat "Boots" who is a Ragdoll cat and has many colors and markings for the bakery to consider, all in all I would absolutely recommend them for any project and if given time and ideas I believe they can do anything! I asked for their "Death by Chocolate" cake to be used. Best bakery ever! Also their cupcakes are awesome! read more

This bakery is the worst ever. I ordered a cake for my best friend 35th birthday I gave a picture of what I needed done. When I picked up the cake it wasn't what I ordered. $130.00 cake and it looked horrible. What made the situation worst nobody in the bakery cared, I asked to speak with a manager, they said there was no manager there and they can't get in touch with her. They wouldn't give me my money back or the receipt. I would never do business with them or recommend this bakery ever in life. read more

Purchased 4 cupcakes yesterday thinking they were going to be good. I purchased a retirement cake from here years ago and that cake was delicious. The cupcakes I purchased yesterday were not. They tasted pasty, lack flavor, looked under cooked. Very disappointed. So disappointed I felt cheated, to the point I wanted to drive back and get a refund. That is how bad the cupcakes were, I paid $13 and change in all. Whoever baked those items, definitely was not a baker. read more

These cupcakes were pretty good! I'm admittedly not much of a "dessert person" but you gotta have cake on your birthday! My friend got me half a dozen for my special day... A few highlights: Loved the strawberry shortcake and the carrot cake. I checked out their website and realized you can also place orders online for cupcake but also for other bakery items. I don't live in the area but I'm glad I was able to try them. Great gift idea for a birthday or special event read more

If I could give the Icing Co a 3.5 out of 5 I would. I stopped in to try a few of their cupcakes. The flavors I tried were lemon with raspberry frosting, red velvet, and carrot cake. The price for each cupcake was $3 each or $17 for a half dozen (6) which I think is slightly high for the size of the cupcake. Most bakeries I have tried out are around the same price but the cupcakes are much larger. Let's start with the icing, the icing was pretty good but slightly greasy. I think there could have been a tad bit more icing on the cupcake as well but that is personal preference. As for cupcake flavors, red velvet was by far the best, very moist and flavorful. The carrot cake with cream cheese frosting was also pretty good, but tasted more closely to spice cake then carrot. Finally, I did not like the lemon raspberry, the lemon cake was delicious but the raspberry frosting tasted like artificial flavoring. I'm not sure I will go out of my way for this cupcake shop, overall their cupcakes were just okay and slightly high in price for the size. read more

The outside of the building no way defines the quality. Located in the corner of an outdoor plaza, this place is a gem! Great and patient customer service. The cupcakes are moist, freshly baked and soooo good. So far I've had the Maine, strawberry shortcake & the brownie. read more

I cannot speak for the taste considering I didn't get the cake. I ordered a cake for a Memorial Day/Birthday Party. On the Wednesday morning before the Party on Saturday I came down with Covid. I called from the doctors office to cancel the cake and was told it was too late. They said by policy they needed 10 days notice. I did not want to cancel my party I did not have a choice. I did not have 10 days to give them. I found it very Uncompassionate of them. Sometimes policies should be changed. read more

Very disappointed in these cupcakes that are NOT worth the price! Unfortunately, I relied on the thumbs up from strangers and I forgot where I am living. The standards are obviously not high at all. They are small, overly iced with grainy buttercream. The carrot one says it had cream cheese, but I am guessing they add a very small amount of it because it just tasted like butter cream which was too sweet. I asked about the eclairs that are listed ON the menu, but you have to put the order 24hrs in advance, why is it on the menu then as if they have it available now?! The only things was the cake part of the cupcake was soft but that's it. If you're going to charge $3 for a cupcake please make it worth it! I'd pay more for a better quality cupcake. If you have a decent palette do not purchase from this bakery. Sorry. read more

Great cupcakes. A little pricey. But crave these cupcakes all the time. The vanilla cake with vanilla icing are the best. Basic but oh so good. read more

Purchased some gender reveal cupcakes from here. While placing my order I picked up a couple more cupcakes. Red velvet was to die for! The gender reveal cupcakes were super cute and they had them ready within a day. I will for sure be coming back in the future to try some other treats! read more

We have bought cakes from this business on multiple occasions and never had issues. My family member recommended that I reach out to them to get custom cookies made for an event. What a mess...I sent an email and it took a few days to get a response(no big deal). The response I received had questions that I already addressed in my first message. Again, I was patient and responded back. It took a few weeks to get a quote back. The quote I received was incredibly high priced for cookies. I decided to not move forward with my order. A week ago, someone reached out to me and told me that my quote along with a few others was too high an in accurate. She told me I would receive a new quote in just a few days. I waited, got no response. At the end of the week, I called and left my contact info. I was told the manager would call me within the hour. No response. A day later, I receive the same exact quote that I received before! I decided to no longer use this business for my cake or cookie orders and I let them know via email. The disorganization and lack of follow through is disappointing. Thankfully I didn't wait on their quotes and I decided to spend several hundred dollars getting a custom cake made elsewhere for our special occasion. If I can't trust a company to be transparent with pricing and to follow through on ordering, how can I trust that they will provide the desserts I paid for in a timely manner? If you want cupcakes, go in and grab them. Don't order anything custom...it is not worth the headache. read more

This was quite possibly the best tasting ( moist and not too sweet) and one of the prettiest cakes( 1st bday) I have ever had!! We had the cookies and cream and it was awesome!! I highly recommend ordering a cake from here. This will be my new go to for cakes and I live in NOVA! read more

The brownies are AMAZING!! I'm a down south girl, so I'm accustomed to immaculate baking, but I didn't quite get that from them. I've tried several different flavors trying to have a change of heart, but the texture is inconsistent. The icing is okay, but I'm more of a cake person; so I like an excellent, moist cake, and unfortunately, I hadn't gotten that yet. Very nice staff though. read more

Love love love this place!!! They did our wedding cake and it was perfect! We had a small ceremony with a few friends but wanted some of the wedding standard items, so cake was a must.

Don't go to this "bakery" for anything, especially wedding cakes! We went to test the cake flavors/icing... the owner presented us with MUFFINS. She could have let us know that we'd be trying muffins instead of cake - but she didn't, because she wanted business $$. We ordered a multiple tier cake with edible crystals, neutral color florals, neutral everything, ombré effect pearls, etc. My cake did NOT have edible crystals. Had GOLD as a base and in the middle of the cake AND they added DARK GREEN flowers to my cake. The pearls were NOT in ombré effect. My contract stated ombré effect pearls, neutral florals, and edible crystals. Very unprofessional demeanor from the owner. Pretty disappointed since it's kind of like a mom & pop shop. My husband and I already have started the process for the next step since we felt like the owner didn't fully understand our frustration - she blamed the green florals on my florist when it was her employees who added them onto the cake. She said they used gold for a few parts because that's all they had in store at the time. Lastly, stated that she forgot to email me about the crystals not being edible. - lack of communication. - unprofessional demeanor. - careless (in regards to using what client wants & what they have available in store) Avoid this "bakery" at all costs! read more

Went today and grabbed a half dozen cupcakes. My baby girl got shots today, so we went as a treat for being so brave. They had tons of favors to choose from and oh man did the place smell awsome! It was super clean and the service was very sweet and helpful. When we got home and devoured the cupcakes ever single one was perfect moist and sweet. We will go again, and will order cakes from them in future! read more
