I reluctantly recommend because my cake was delivered 2 days early and they didn’t decorate it, but it was absolutely beautiful (I bought frosting and a colleague decorated it). I got a rainbow cake and the inside was stunning, and the grooms loved it- and it was delicious.

This is the inedible cake I paid 166 dollars for. The letters were uneven. I honestly think that they forgot about my order and did this in an hour. My dads birthday was ruined. I called these renowned “Kamala Cake Bakers” several times and got no response. When they did finally, answer they stated they give no refunds. I was in a rush to his surprise party and I couldn’t fully assess how horrible the cake was until I removed it from the box. I was placed on hold for an hour until someone finally hung up on me. Shame on you!!!! How horrible can you be! I 1000000 percent do not recommend please find someone else !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This place deserves no ones money

Would you serve this cake to Kamala Harris? You posted the cake you made for her with so much pride. It looked great. I guess since I am not a vice president my money must not hold the same value. My Dad could not even eat his birthday cake. I will not rest until we get our money back. 166 dollars for this horrible cake. This business is unethical. The person hung up on me when I called to get return the cake for a refund. They said they can give me the value back in cupcakes. I was placed on hold until I was hung up on YOU PEOPLE ARE EVIL. First time in my life I have been robbed!!!!!!!!!!The cake was dry to the touch. I refused to eat it. It was so dry. WHO made this cake. Did you a hire a helper for a day. 166 dollars. Horrible

Put very minimal effort into cake for the price. It’s uneven, the placement of the macaroons is poor and thoughtless. I am very disappointed. I recommend finding a better quality bakery. Never again

I regularly pop into The CakeRoom to get my sweet fix, and it's always been one of my favorite spots in DC. Friendly service, great variety of treats (from cakes to pies to cookies) in a super cozy atmosphere. This year we ordered my five year old son's birthday cake from The CakeRoom and they blew me away. Ordering online was simple. They have so many design options, I found a look that integrated with the theme ("winter wonderland"). The outcome was perfection. Not only did it look beautiful, it tasted delicious. We had a lot of happy kids AND adults. Thank you, CakeRoom.

I got the salted caramel and the lemon lavender cupcake, they both have the same vanilla base cake which is pretty good, not too sweet, and nothing really special but let's the frosting shine through. Both cupcake's frosting is really good, light and accurate to description, also not overbearingly sweet. Plus the prices are much better than sprinkles and Georgetown cupcakes. I'd like to try their cake next time.

Ordered the raspberry swirl cheesecake and I can say that this is easily the best cheesecake I’ve ever had. Pistachio crust and the jam is such a brilliant decision! If you ever decide to come here please do yourself a favor and order this cake, you won’t regret it.

Absolutely delicious. I had a lemon lavender and a red velvet cupcake and they were perfect - soft and spongy, not too sweet and the right amount of icing. I look forward to trying more ?

I tried the cupcakes and the coffee.The coffee 1/10 was coldCupcake 4/10 good presentation but the taste not the best.

I stayed just around the corner from this place for a month and and ate desserts from here more days than not. I love that all of their cakes are available by the slice. I enjoyed just about everything we tried here (and we tried just about everything!).I recommend the cheesecake slices, as they're tasty and a good value for the price. I particularly enjoyed the triple chocolate cheesecake and the raspberry swirl with pistachio crust. My spouse liked the plain cheesecakes with various chunky berry goops on top.The cupcakes were perfectly fine. I bought a few of them because my 2 year old is still learning that cheesecake is always better than cupcake. Always. It's a fact.Anyway, the service was consistently efficient and friendly and laid back, and the attire is casual.
