Katelyn was so helpful to us when our initial baker backed out after we had to postpone our wedding for the 4th time. With only 3 months to our wedding day, Katelyn swiftly embraced the design from our initial baker and arranged several tastings for us. We couldn’t have been happier with the end result. It was absolutely stunning and tasted even better! Thank you so much Katelyn!
Katelyn is the sweetest person! The ice storm last week disrupted our plans and she was kind enough to accommodate us picking up our cake the following week. That kind of consideration and understanding for your customers doesn’t go unnoticed. We will absolutely be back and will recommend Capital Cakes to anyone who asks! We got the small circle cake that serves 6-8 people and it was taller than expected and was plenty to go around! I am so glad we stumbled across Capital Cakes in our search, and really could not be happier with our birthday cake - nor could we speak any higher of Katelyn. So professional, friendly and TALENTED!!!
Katelyn was terrific to work with! We didn't have a specific vision for our cake/cupcakes but she did a wonderful job discussing ideas with me to create a beautiful cake and beautiful cupcakes! She has tons of delicious options for cake bases, buttercreams, and fillings. We had one particular cupcake that was chocolate cake, peanut butter buttercream, and dark chocolate gaunche filling. This cupcake was a huge hit with our guests!
As a wedding photographer who likes all things bold and colorful, I frequently recommend Capital Cakes to my couples. Katelyn has an incredible eye for design, and in addition to the style of her creations always being phenomenal, every dessert of hers I've ever had has tasted amazing, as well! She runs the gamut from colorful to classic, and does so beautifully. You could not make a better choice than Capital Cakes for your wedding desserts—highly recommend!
I ordered my wedding cake from Capital Cakes. The cake was so beautiful and delicious. Our guests absolutely loved it. Katelyn made sure that the color is what we want and she was on time about delivering the cake. We will definitely order from her again in future :)
When I saw Katelyn’s work for wedding cakes, I prayed that she would be available for our wedding because WOW–her work is just stunning. The cake she made for us was exactly what we were hoping for and more. She got everything from the color to the texture to the taste just right. I cannot even begin to describe how delicious her cake tasted. We also ordered gluten free and vegan cupcake options–I could have just had those at our wedding and been happy; they were delicious. I cannot recommend Capital Cakes enough–Katelyn is a master at her craft!
We used capital cakes for our daughter’s aviation themed birthday this past weekend. All I can say is WOW, we got soooo many compliments on the cakes on how beautiful and delicious they were. She worked with our color scheme and sketches and worked her magic to create these beautiful cakes. You pay for the quality you get. Absolutely amazing, I couldn’t recommend more! Pickup was easy and cakes were secure the whole drive home.
After many back and forth pictures and finalizing the details Katelyn created the perfect cake to highlight the Woodland theme baby shower for my daughter and her husband. She was very patient, kind and customer oriented while providing her recommendations as a professional baker. The cake was a hit and delicious! She was wonderful to collaborate with and provided prompt and timely replies and feedback.
I loved my wedding cake! It was exactly what I wanted. Communication was great, which I really appreciated during wedding planning. The tasting boxes were a nice touch, and the strawberry cake with strawberry buttercream was excellent. I would definitely recommend her to any bride.
Capital Cakes is the way to go if you want a phenomenal cake that not only looks amazing but tastes delicious as well. Katelyn is awesome at what she does and believe me you will not be disappointed. When I contacted Katelyn I was about a week away from my event because I struggled with communication from the baker I was working with but Katelyn made things stress free regardless of what timeline she was working on. I feel like it was meant for me to reach out to her once I found her because the experience was everything I could ask for and more. From her communication to flexibility she is a dream come true. Don't think about it, Just Do It. Trust me you wont regret it!
