I am the mother of the Groom. We contracted Cake Placid to provide mini-portion desserts; cupcakes, cake pops, gourmet bars, brownies and cookies. After our Rehearsal Dinner at High Peaks, we arranged for a Curling tournament for our 100 guests down the street at the Olympic Center. Cake Placid provided rink-side desserts. Jennifer Gates (owner/baker) displayed them beautifully on birch... More

Had my wedding cake baked by Jen and it was SUCH a great experience!! Not only was the cake beautiful and BEYOND heavenly, but it was such an easy part of the planning process. I was so worried about being stressed by the cake, but Jen was able to take a couple of Pinterest links and some basic requests and... More

I have been to Cake Placid several times and they never fail to delight! The variety is amazing and everything is decorated like a piece of art. Jen's eclairs are the absolute best I have had. i could go on and on. Yes, I drive 10 miles just to go to Cake Placid.

I am a little ashamed to say my son and I make the ten mile (one way) trip just to get some of Jen's cupcakes. The cupcakes are out of this world. The shop is spotless and Jen always has a smile on her face.

We have been to Cakeplacid many times...the cupcakes are tasty tasty tasty. We usually will get a six pack and at a family gathering we will cut them up and everyone gets a taste of all of them. They are hard on the waistline though so be careful not to eat too many...lol!

The cupcakes are awesome! We went in when we first arrived in LP and bought 6. Before we headed back home we stopped and picked up a dozen. Jen is so creative with the flavors and there is such a variety! We loved them so much we are having her make our wedding cake! We haven't tried any of her... More

My 11 year old daughter is also a cupcake lover. When we were in DC she insisted we try Georgetown Cupcake and Baked & Wired. They don't even come close! Try some of the other treats and take the cupcakes home with you, you'll be glad you took my advice. You might even find yourself wanting to return to Lake... More

My daughters love cupcakes and these are especially good, way better than Georgetown Cupcakes, which are supposed to have the best cupcakes in DC. These are not too sweet and the flavors are very diverse. We tried German chocolate, ganache, vanilla, mint-chocolate and carrot cake. They were all moist, full of flavor and looked great. Highly recommended!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review of cakeplacid! While I've never tried Georgetown cupcakes, I am very familiar with their popularity and for our cupcakes to be considered better than them, well, I'm honored. Sometimes all the hype doesn't make the best cupcakes, right? Thanks again and I look forward to serving you up... More
