Sweet Ladies Bakery

One word to describe Sweet Ladies Bakery AMAZING!!! The design of my wedding cake was breath taking and the taste was right up there as well. I am in full delight that I chose Sweet Ladies as the bakery for my wedding cake!
I will use them again for other future events.

Thank you!!!

These cakes are AMAZING! Our wedding was at Fort Belvoir, which partners with Sweet Ladies in the price of the catering, so the wedding cake itself was "free" from the vendor. Amber was extremely nice, very professional, and set up a tasting so we could try the combinations we wished. She drew up an illustration of the cake and it turned out more beautiful at the wedding than we could have imagined!! We also decided to go ahead and purchase a groom's cake, which was shaped like a Ford Truck. It was very realistic down to the itty bitty details. The groom LOVED it!! Not to mention the fondant doesn't taste like most cakes (glue), it actually tastes like pure sugar, and the cake itself is moist and delicious on the wedding day, as if it was made within 24 hours. I absolutely recommend them, they're wonderful!

Simply put--YUM!!!! We did cupcakes, a cake topper, and VT Hokies Stadium Grooms Cake...all were beautifully made and incredibly scrumptious! Our guests did not leave one cupcake left over. The cake topper is nestled away in the freezer. The grooms cake--well every VT grad was super impressed--I think one of the FB comments to a picture of it was: BEST WEDDING CAKE EVER! We will so use Nikki and team again!

Nikki and Sweet Ladies are hands down the BEST wedding cake vendors in the greater DC area!! We were absolutely thrilled with our wedding cake! Not only did it look gorgeous, it tasted even better and that's not always easy to find! We picked a white cake with whipped cream and fresh fruit for our base layer and then Red Velvet with white chocolate mousse for our middle layer (the top layer is coconut with cream and berries and I cannot wait to dig in to it this week!!). We had a LOT of chefs and baking experts at our wedding and they all raved about the "best" fondant job they'd ever seen and the perfectly moist cake! Nikki also made filled cupcakes for us, as we had a lot of children at our wedding and they were devoured! Anyone considering a cake vendor in the NoVA or DC area should go with Sweet Ladies - you will not be disappointed.

Nikki is incredibly talented at what she does. Her talent at designing anything perfectly with half baked ideas from me was mind blowing. The best part? Not only are they the most beautiful cakes I have ever seen from my best friend's beach themed bridal shower, to my groom's cake Nike shoe & DJ Turn Tables, to our 4 tiered wedding cake - but they are THE MOST delicious cakes I have ever tasted. I am not a sweets person, but her cakes are to die for. The peanut butter/chocolate combination she did for my wedding was talked about for weeks later. Book her today! Nikki is incredibly sweet, responsive and accommodating. Thank you, Sweet Ladies!

I searched for a long time to find the right bakery for my wedding cake. I wanted to find a place that would not only do a beautiful cake for me, but also a sculpted groom's cake. Nikki was wonderful and really listed to what we wanted, she even agreed to make a cinnamon butter-cream frosting for my spice cake. The groom's cake also turned out amazing! My husband wanted a specific car wheel as the cake and Nikki followed the picture exactly and it turned out perfect!! I was really impressed with how moist the cake was and all of our guests could not stop talking about how good the red velvet groom's cake tasted. My only critique is that getting in touch with Nikki through email can be a bit difficult, but she answered my calls right away. We are also looking forward to our fresh anniversary cake in a year instead of having to freeze the top for our first anniversary!

For our intimate wedding of 40 people, our caterer R&R Catering hooked us up with Sweet Ladies Cupcakes for our reception. We chose two flavors: lemon with raspberry cream frosting and red velvet with cream cheese frosting. Ours was an outdoor event with a garden theme. Sweet Ladies Bakery applied the frosting to look like flower petals! At our request, the caterer added sugar gum paste rose buds at the center of each cupcake. Gorgeous -- and delicious!! And the cupcakes were just the right size so that folks could have one of each flavor, if they so desired! Sweet Ladies Bakery was an excellent find at a good price. If they had a storefront close to me, I'd be visiting them regularly!

Nikki is amazing and makes GORGEOUS and DELICIOUS cakes!! We gave her just a few ideas and she came up with a gorgeous wedding cake design! I'm so happy that she was recommended to us!

I absolutely loved our wedding cake! It turned out exactly as I had pictured it! I never actually got to meet Nikki personally but was aways friendly through our e mail conversations. I did meet her assistant when we did our tasting and she was very nice. I got so many compliments on how beautiful and tasty the cake was. I would definitely recommend Sweet Ladies Bakery to any Bride!

Nikki from sweet ladies is amazing. My cake was even more beautiful than I had expected it to be. Her flavors are delicious and moist. Everyone raved over the cupcakes and the single cake for my husband and I was to die for. Give her a call and consider her services, you will not be disappointed.

Cake was delicious and delivered painlessly - thanks!

Nikki was great! She was very familiar with our reception venue which was the main reason we even contacted her. But, she was so much more than that! When I first contacted her about making a cake she was very flexible about scheduling a tasting (Saturday mornings), and let us pick three cake/frosting combinations we wanted to try. When we stopped by her house for the tasting, I can honestly say I was so impressed with the cakes that she had on display that I knew right then and there that she was the cake artist for us. We had brought in photos of so many diffrent cakes we loved and had no clue what we wanted. But she noticed the common elements in the cakes and helped us reign in our ideas and design a beautiful cake. Delivery was so easy, we told her when and where and she asked us to have the cake toppers there ready for her, and when we got to the reception, our cake was there and beautiful! Very reasonably priced!

My cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious. Nikki came highly recommended, and when we met with her she provided us with delicious samples of her different flavors, and the pictures she showed us of other cakes she had made-- they were gorgeous.
All of her flavors were delicious, and she did an amazing job decorating it-- I wanted textured buttercream with fresh flowers on it, and she followed my preferences to perfection-- it looked absolutely stunning.
I wish I had gotten to eat more of it.... not sure what happened to it after the wedding, but I never saw it again, and didn't get any leftovers :( I hope someone enjoyed the extras!
My one complaint is that I found Nikki to be difficult to get in touch with-- she was not very prompt responding to emails, to the point where sometimes I got concerned. But, I think the main reason is that she is a one-woman show-- I think she does it all, and she seems to be very successful, hence very busy.

I got a 3D grooms cake and our wedding cake from Nikki. Both cakes turned out better than I imagined. The grooms cake was a pug which was absolutely awesome! I had the cake at our rehearsal dinner and it was just the spotlight and talk of the night - and was yummy! Our wedding cake was so beautiful! Nikki did a great job creating my vision on both cakes. Although we did hear people say the wedding cake was a little dry. My biggest compliant is Nikki's super slow responsiveness. She takes awhile to return emails and phone calls, which drove me crazy because all my other vendors were very responsive. This made me a little nervous leading up to our big day, but everything turned out flawless, on time and delicious.

Our cake was BEAUTIFUL. Nikki did a wonderful job on designing exactly what I wanted! We receieved tons of comments on how beautiful (and tasty!) the cake was! Nikki was extremely helpful and kind - she has a wonderful personality and it was a joy to work with her. Thank you Nikki for making me the wedding cake of my dreams!

Nikki at Sweet Ladies Bakery is the best!!!!!!!!! She makes the best cakes in the world and she can make ANYTHING you can think of!!!! For our wedding, she made our LSU stadium groom's cake which was just insane and my husband went crazy over! And for our wedding, she made a beautiful 5 layer hexagon art deco cake that people are still talking about! I will continue to buy cakes from Nikki because she is so talented!! She was always very responsive and very flexible with whatever I wanted or needed. You cannot go wrong with Nikki and Sweet Ladies Bakery!

Our cake was fabulous! Nikki is great to work with and very professional and responsive. She will give suggestions if asked but is never pushy. Our cake looked beautiful and tasted amazing! We got several compliments on the flavor! Nikki also made large cupcakes for a couple of guests celebrating their birthdays on our wedding day. They loved the sentiment and enjoyed taking the delicious cake home!

The cake was delicious! We really appreciated her ability to do the scrollwork without using fondant (which we are not fans of). We searched around to find a baker who would do that and Nikki said, no problem, so we said you're hired :)

I used Sweet Ladies Bakery for my wedding cake and was very pleased. Prior to meeting with us, Niki the pastry chef asked us to submit 3 cake flavors to taste. She met us at a Panera Bread for the tasting which was very convenient. Then, to our pleasant surprise, the cakes for the tasting were baked into cupcakes! I thought this was extremely clever, and we loved the cake tasting! Niki was flexible with the pricing, had great ideas, and threw in a fresh anniversary cake (we're not big on frozen cake). My wedding cake was beautiful and delicious! Me and my hubby just microwaved a slice of the topper today (2 days later) and it tasted even better than the day of! The only complaint that I have is that Niki does not respond to emails that well - but she usually responds to phone calls. All together, a good experience.

Nikki was just wonderful to work with. She was very responsive and flexible. She works from home, so expect to do meetings with her at a local Panera. I did not want to pay a lot of money for decorations on the cake - I just wanted something that tasted good. Nikki did more than that; she created something that tasted absolutely delicious! She worked within my budget and at no point did I feel any pressure to put bells and whistles on my cake. She made two cakes for me, a presentation cake with two layers and a sheet cake to feed 110 people. I was not expecting much from the presentation cake and left some store-bought roses for her to decorate with by her suggestion. However, when I saw the cake at the reception I was amazed. The butter cream was perfectly smooth and the flowers were arranged beautifully. The taste was just phenomenal! Everyone was commenting on how great it was for a wedding cake. Sweet Ladies Bakery was free of hassle, no pressure, exceeded my expectations and stayed within my budget. What more could a bride ask for?

Nikki created an adorable labrador groom's cake for us as well as our beautiful wedding cake. I was so disappointed because I thought I had missed tasting one of the flavors during the wedding, but thankfully our caterer had saved some for us. All three flavors (wedding layers - spice with cream cheese filling and yellow with choc buttercream, and groom's - lemon) were so wonderful - everyone was raving about them. The fondant on both cakes were perfect, and the detail on both cakes elicited rave reviews from everyone - even days later as our families were still partaking. Nikki was so patient with us, and didn't let us sweat anything, even when we showed up early to the reception site and almost ruined the groom cake surprise. Thank you Nikki for being so wonderful to us!

We ordered wedding and grooms cake from Sweet Ladies Bakery. The cake was delicious and gorgeous! Both cakes were a huge hit, and they turned out much better than I imagined.

The wedding cake was PERFECT!! My only regret is that I didn't get to taste the different layers. In lieu of keeping the top layer, we are going to have them make us a fresh cake (replica) next year. Yum!

The only reason they didn't get 5 stars: Our red velvet was a little on the dry side (not the entire cake though), and it was a little hard to contact them during the coordination phase. Definitely request boxes (just in case there are left overs.)

Nikki did cupcakes and a groom's cake for my wedding; both turned out awesome. She was really flexible when I wanted to make changes for the design of my cupcakes. She took a couple of days to return emails, so I would suggest calling if you need to get ahold of them quickly. She can make any cake you give her a picture of; just like cake boss on tv! People at the wedding couldn't get over how real the groom's cake looked; it really did look like a cake from ace of cakes or cake boss. Be sure to request boxes to be sent to the venue for packing up leftover cake at the end of the night.

SLB can make just about any design cake and their wedding cakes turn out fabulous. The flavor of their cakes are awesome but the price is a bit high for what it's worth. They take a few days to respond back to your requests.

Absolutely Delicious Cakes, Great Customers Service

I met these young ladies at a local bridal show where I was a vendor. Having done wedding cakes in my past, I was energized by their excitement for their craft and their passion for their clients. THEN I tasted their cakes and they were FABULOUS! I am a cake snob (from my past) and if I endorse a cake baker, that means they are GOOD - because it's not just the cake, it's also the icing (consistency, texture) and how the flavors work together. With all this said, please contact them and have a tasting -- they are great!
