My Cake Theory

I visited this cute but quaint establishment and purchased 2 cupcakes. One strawberry and the other banana pudding. The favorite was the strawberry. The flavors were on point and loved how they used the cookie & dried strawberry to garnish. The banana pudding cupcake was yummy however, it may have been more flavorful with a cream cheese like icing. The presentation was pretty. The ladies at the counter and register were so adorable and greeted us with a smile. I will visit again when I am back in D.C.

I've had cupcakes from this bakery and loved them. The idea that I can construct my own cupcake and insert filling and pick my own toppings is genius and delicious! I called and put in an order for my husbands 40th birthday party. I gave her free reign to make the cake in any way she wanted as long as it was gold themed. She hit it out of the park! She made the cake itself the gold ball and it was beautiful! I can't thank her enough for how beautiful and tasty the cake was and would recommend everyone to order their cakes and cupcakes from here.

Best cupcakes ever! My daughter passed away at the age of 7. Every year I buy cupcakes to celebrate her birthday. This year she would have been 14 so I decided she might have like fun unique cupcakes. This place was very accommodating. I walked in last minute and they made me 20 cupcakes. It was a huge it at the office! Everyone loved them and we will definitely be ordering from here from now on for company events. Thank you so much for making a sad day a little happier.

I called last minute (4pm) to have cupcakes delivered to my son who lives in DC for his birthday today. The staff was so helpful and accommodating! They even put a personalized Happy Birthday note in the package for me. He sent me a pic and they look amazing! I cant wait to visit DC soon to not only see my son but to try your cupcakes myself. He and his friends now have something delicious and amazingly decorated to make his day extra special! Can’t thank you enough for your hospitality and service!

They have many kinds of cupcakes, so we had a hard time choosing. We especially love their banana pudding and the chocolate peanut butter one which the male clerk recommended us (sorry we forgot the cupcake name). If we go around Eastern Market, we will drop there for those cupcakes. And also they decorate really nicely inside.

Opened during the pandemic, My Cake Theory is a Black woman-owned bakery in Eastern Market with lots of style and flavor. When you walk in, the friendly staff walk you through the menu. You can buy one of their seasonal cupcakes or create your own. I opted for creating my own. Here's how it works: 1) Pick your base. I went with their rich vanilla cupcake. 2) Choose a filling. I opted for cream cheese. 3) Pick the frosting. Chocolate was where I landed. 4) Add toppings. Sprinkles and a little more chocolate syrup for me. The cupcake itself was well baked and so good!

We ordered several dozen cupcakes from here for our daughters 5 year old birthday and we’re so happy with them. They made them all custom ordered and had such a diversity of flavors. The kids were over the moon. The cupcakes were light and fluffy and the frosting was sweet but not overly so. Would highly recommend!

First timer, was pleasantly surprised by my cupcakes. Service was great, the flavors were explained in detail. I selected a lemon crumb, chocolate galore, coconut cake & turtle flavored. Sorry, I devoured the coconut one. It's flavor was outstanding. Supporting a women, black owned business is literally icing on the cake, lol. Please stop in you won't be disappointed. It's definitely not my last trip.

I was hoping for a coffee but got a cupcake instead. The cupcake is pretty good even though it is not my cup of tea. Service is ok. The decor is nice but a bit too empty to get a true feel that day. May be a few tables can make the place more inviting.

The cupcakes are great. You can basically make your own cupcakes. You choose the cake flavor, filling, icing, and toppings. It's like Cold Stone for cupcakes. The cake is always moist and flavorful. I have never had a dry cupcake here. The toppings and fillings can be a little on the sweet side for me, however. They also have their own creations as well, but I typically build my own. The Banana Pudding Cupcake is top tier (banana cupcake with banana pudding filling and a nilla wafer on the bottom, topped with whipped cream, banana cream drizzle, crushed nilla wafers, and a banana chip on top). Service can be hit-or-miss, though, unfortunately.

Definitely 4.5/5 stars for me! I was in eastern market about to faint one day so I had to run inside of somewhere to get some water, My Cake Theory was the closest place so I went in. Once I had some water and regained sense, I was tempted by the assortment of cupcake offerings and had to try one. I had the not so salty caramel cupcake and it was phenomenal!! I loved the icing especially, super flavorful and I could tell it was high quality. They have other flavors and the option to build your own cupcake so I will definitely be back to try more. The inside was regular, it didn't make me feel grossed out so that's a huge plus. The service was great, the person working was helpful and patient with it being my first time.

I recently stumbled upon My Cake Theory in Eastern Market and had an outstanding experience. My boyfriend and I decided to try the lemon blueberry and chocolate cupcakes, and both were absolutely delicious. The flavors were well-balanced, and the cupcakes were moist and fluffy. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service we received. The staff were friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about their craft. They took the time to answer our questions and make recommendations. Overall, our visit to My Cake Theory was a 5/5 experience. The cupcakes were scrumptious, and the service was second to none. I highly recommend this bakery to anyone in the area and will definitely be back myself. Next time I look forward to building my own cupcake.

Omg... I will always use Cake theory for my future events. My guest at my 60th birthday at the MGM hotel and casino loved the cup cakes. They were delicious and very pretty. Thanks again for your wonderful product.

I tried this place via a neighbor's recommendation and it was sooo good. The cupcakes are fresh and moist and a really good size for the price. The buttercream is not overly sweet, but still sweet enough. These are literally my favorite cupcakes ever. The shop is in a great location with cute decor and friendly staff. The inside feels pretty instagrammable this time of year (cherry blossoms make the prettiest backdrop!).

If you or your kids have food allergies, be incredibly careful ordering from here. I have a severe allergy to red food coloring (FD&C Red 40) which my boyfriend mentioned when he placed an order for cupcakes. He asked twice over the phone if the cake contained artificial food coloring and he was told, "no, everything is natural." It wasn't true. Many bakeries and restaurants sell red velvet cake without artificial dye -- Farmers and Distillers, Whole Foods, etc. but it's not as bright as cake made with red 40. We like to buy from local small business when possible. My boyfriend ordered a dozen red velvet cupcakes (my favorite) and gave them to me for Valentine's Day. Thankfully, I noticed how bright they were and I decided to have a little bit of frosting off of one of the cupcakes without red cake crumbles on top but not to eat them. Today, I called My Cake Theory and explained the situation so I could figure out if there was red 40 in them. The woman on the phone kept telling me the cupcakes don't have any fake food coloring, "red velvet is just red." (???) Someone in the background corrected her and said they do have artificial dye. I thanked the woman on the phone and said my boyfriend would probably be calling to follow up on his order. He called a little while later, and the woman who picked up first tried to say the cupcakes didn't contain any artificial dye. Then she told him that we should have known it had dye because it's red velvet. (Let me say this again... Whole Foods and many other places make red velvet cake without artificial dye... they use vegetable dyes... this is not a crazy concept.) Then the worst part... this could have landed me in the ER if we believed My Cake Theory and I ate one of the cupcakes... but instead of apologizing and offering a refund or even just another dozen cupcakes of a different flavor, they refused. They got confrontational and then offered 20% off our next order. I understand that this is an odd allergy to have, so I always ask follow up questions and I'm never rude if people get confused about it. But to lie repeatedly and refuse to take responsibility is unacceptable. Red 40 is a registered food dye and its legally required to be included in ingredient lists. I will say, I'm giving two stars because they smelled great and the tiny bit of frosting I tasted was really good. I want to support small businesses and I was really excited to try some of their beautiful cupcakes, but it's not safe if you have food allergies.

I've visited My Cake Theory because my sweet tooth and I were in Eastern Market. I've been once before for a "build your own" cupcakes which I really enjoyed, but today I decided to try one of the speciality cupcakes. They weren't labeled, but the person at the front gladly pointed out each flavor for me. I went with the salted caramel. I enjoyed it overall, but a few of the bites were too salty.

I was in town looking for some sweets and they happened to be open on Black Friday. Service was slow and a bit disorganized but I'm sure that's considering that they were supposed to be closed that day. The lady at the front let us know that they just decided to open because they had cake orders to complete. I ordered the Chocolate galore, banana pudding and red velvet cupcakes. I'll start with the banana pudding which was quite disappointing. It was significantly smaller than the other cupcakes and had a very strong artificial banana flavor which was off putting. Both the chocolate and red velvet cupcakes were huge, moist and yummy. The location was cutely decorated and the ladies that were working were friendly.

The experience was amazing from the front door and beyond! The obvious care taken in making this more than a cake spot but an experience is obvious in every way! The decor is eye catching and the endless cupcake options is pure genius! The service by courteous staff members helps to make this truly an experience! This black-owned business is poised to take this area by storm!

I placed an order in person, with the owner, for specialty cupcakes and when I went to pick them up days later, they were never made. The owner was there both times, she was not overly apologetic and tried to upsell me more cupcakes to cover the price difference of the specialty cupcakes she did not make. I was not offered a discount or even a free cupcake and only refunded the price difference of the regular cupcakes I ended up having to buy for the birthday party. I was a little turned off by the whole experience. Overall, the cupcakes are pretty and taste fine but if a business isn't reliable for parties and events, there is no point in going back.

Came here to grab a few cup cakes for my girlfriends birthday and My Cake Theory did not disappoint! They have a wide variety of flavors and toppings and you even get to watch them make the cupcakes on the spot. Can't wait to stop by again.

My new fav cupcake spot! Saw My Cake Theory on Insta and fell in love with the custom cakes. Was excited to learn that they were opening up a spot in Eastern Market. Perfect place to visit to grab a sweet treat while you stroll through the market vendors. The spot is easy to find and super cute inside. I love the concept of being able to design your own cupcake. You first choose your flavor, then your filling, pick your frosting and then toppings. The owner, Tiffany, was there the day I visited and I asked her to make one of the top combinations. She started with a vanilla cupcake base, caramel filling, chocolate buttercream frosting, snicker toppings and chocolate drizzle on top. I also decided to get a chocolate overload cupcake, strawberry filling, whipped cream frosting, and strawberry sauce on top. Tiffany was super friendly and there was such a nice vibe in the shop. Both cupcakes were super moist! That's always a good sign :) The flavor combinations were also spot on. My friend and I devoured our cupcakes! This is such a cute concept and there are endless possibilities. I can't wait to go back and try more. And I'm hoping for a reason to do a custom cake order soon.

I swear they are putting something addictive in these cupcakes, because I cannot get enough of them! I've sampled almost every type of cupcake they've had in the span of about 1 week. There's not one bad cupcake here! And the premise of this cupcakery is pretty novel: you make your own! They have some specialty cupcakes made, but having the creativity to make your own is so freeing! You can choose your cupcake, a filling, the icing, and up to two toppings. The cupcakes themselves are super moist and flavorful. I love having cream cheese and buttercream options. The icings are delicious and not too overwhelming. They also offer day-old cupcakes (which are still very fresh and delicious!) for a cheaper cost, in an effort to have zero waste. The hardest thing about this place is possibly getting here. It's easiest by metro, but parking can be challenging sometimes, especially on the weekends or during a street fair. But the taste of these cupcakes are totally worth the effort of getting here. You won't regret it!

I ordered a cake for the first birthday of my son who passed away as a newborn. I asked for an age-appropriate rocket ship or astronaut-theme to acknowledge our baby who lives in the stars now. Boy did My Cake Theory deliver. The custom cake looked amazing -- exactly what I asked for -- and it tasted fantastic, too -- chocolate with white frosting -- none of that gross-tasting fondant stuff you see at other specialty bakeries. It was advertised as feeding 6-8, I think, but after a dinner of 6 (where every single person devoured their slice!) we still have half left over. I will be recommending this place to all my friends.

Couldn't have asked for a better looking and tasting cake!!! Everyone loved it! Definitely recommend!

For $4-5 cupcakes, they are alright. I enjoyed the milk and cookies cupcake, although I wish it was buttercream instead of whipped cream on top. The carrot cake was crazy dense with so many textures inside, but it wasn't my favorite version. Somehow wet and dry at the same time. Pretty cupcakes, but would have liked more options. They were low on options by about 4:30pm on the weekend, which makes sense.

Great service and a great cupcake! I was in DC celebrating my birthday. I called ahead and placed my order. My cupcakes were ready when I arrived and I ordered a couple more just because the display was so appealing. The cupcakes are a great size and very moist. The frosting is just enough and not overly sweet, but delightful. The service over the phone and in the store was excellent! When in DC, check out My Cake Theory. You won't regret it!!!

Visited after seeing someone visit online. Love the concept of creating your own cupcake. Was able to choose my own cake, filling, icing and toppings. Loved that they had whipped icing, that's my favorite. Definitely my new favorite black owned dessert company! Will be returning and have already recommended to friends.

I am review to express my extreme disappointment and frustration with my recent experience regarding an order placed with The Cake Theory. I had ordered cupcakes for a special occasion, and unfortunately, the entire process has been quite disheartening. To begin with, my original order was misplaced, resulting in an extended pick-up time. had I not called in advance to let them know I was ready to pick up my cake. They wouldn't have never made it. While I understand that mistakes can happen, the lack of empathy or acknowledgment of the inconvenience caused on my special day was disconcerting. Moreover, after finally leaving the premises, I was continuously bombarded with phone calls as a result of your oversight in notifying me about the remainder of the payment. It's disheartening to note that the same urgency and attention were not given when I called to inquire about the status of my order. I believe that customer service is a fundamental aspect of any business, and my recent experience has left me disappointed. I love to support black businesses, so I still pay what was due. However, I will not be returning until there's more organization And respect for guest at this establishment.

I stumbled upon this place while walking around Eastern Market with friends on a Sunday. Let me start by saying this place is a VIBE! They had music playing (like club music level LOL) and trays of mimosas for a group that I believe were the owner's friends. On the regular cupcake store side of things, I really enjoy that they have some unique flavors and awesome toppings. You can also choose a more "basic" cupcake and dress it up with toppings, your choice of offering, and even a flavored filling. It's way more customizable than any other cupcake shop I've been to in the DMV. All the cupcakes I tried were moist and delectable. You really have to go in and check them out!

Came here after craving some cake. The shop offered custom made cakes and cupcakes pre made. Since I came here on a whim I had to get what was already there. I really liked the idea of "creating your own cupcakes." It is a four step process: (1) select a base flavor, (2) select a filling, (3) select frosting, and (4) select your toppings or "frills". Up to 2 toppings is $3.75 per cupcake. They also have specialty cupcakes they make readily available. I attached a picture of what I ordered. Starting with the top one and clockwise: "apple of the eye" apple cider flavored with cream cheese filling; chocolate with chocolate filling, chocolate frosting, caramel drizzle, and chocolate sprinkles; red velvet with cream cheese filling, vanilla frosting, and rainbow sprinkles; and chocolate with chocolate filling, vanilla frosting, chocolate drizzle, and rainbow sprinkles. I personally feel like the cupcakes tasted just alright. Not exactly gourmet but not bad at all. They were okay. I hate to say that the cupcakes were kind of comparable to supermarket bought cupcakes... but that is what it felt like. And I say this mainly because it might have to do with the fact that the bases, fillings, frostings, and toppings that were available were very basic. I did enjoy the process of creating my own cupcakes on the spot but I wish there was more variety. It would have been more fun to make and eat. Not sure if I would return for the cupcakes but maybe if I want a custom made cake because I do see amazing reviews for that.

I'm loving this Custom cupcake thang! Everything I've had so far is very tasty. They seem to use quality products too! I can tell the difference between grocery store grade pastries and the #GOODSTUFF and this place has the GOODSTUFF. The FILLINVariety is the spice of life and I love creating my own with various types of filling.

Great cupcakes and excellent customer service The cupcakes are super moist- red velvet used to be my fav now this is my new spot!

Excellent black owned bakery for cupcakes! Went into the place and they had a variety of flavors for cupcakes and can create your own. I ended up getting a strawberry everything cupcake and vanilla with cream cheese frosting. Both were delicious. I was however a bit upset they couldn't create a cake for me because their decorator was unavailable so they only sell cupcakes for the most part even though its called "Cake Theory". Next time I go I'll definitely just stick to the cupcakes just in case.

I saw this cute little cupcake restaurant originally on the Too Good To Go app. I then decided to order a few cupcakes for pickup. First off, their website, I love how many options they have online and they have the option to customize your cupcake order with custom cupcakes along with their regular menu but some of their regular menu items do not have a description - what type of cupcake is that? I don't know. Customers can also leave reviews for items which I appreciate but you cannot leave more than one review so, if you are like me and ordered two custom vanilla cupcakes leave the review once because it won't show a second review. Also the review(s) listed on the Monthly Cupcakes cupcake correlate with that specific month so someone reviewed the item 3 months ago when it was a kitchen sink cupcake but the item now is a spiced cake. Also reviews take a while to post, I got excited because on their website they said there was a raffle for customers who post a review on a cupcake before September 1st so I made sure to try the bakery before then and get my reviews on their website but it did take about a week for my review to be posted / not listed as just pending. According to their website and on maps they open on Wednesdays at 11, my pickup time for my order was 11:30. I got overly excited and showed up at 11:20 and they were not open, the doors were locked and their closed sign up (but employees inside). I waited until 11:40 at which time an employee popped her head out to see if I ordered online and I told her my name and about 5 minutes later she came out with the cupcakes. I get it, in a business stuff happens, but maybe just let the customers (or potential customers who while I was waiting came up and then decided not to wait and left), know what's going on. I will say that employee was very nice to me when she handed me the cupcakes and all of them, besides the peach and cream, were very cute. Additionally, they put your cupcakes in a cupcake holder in a thick plastic bag with handles so I was able to comfortably walk 20 minutes home without worrying about my cupcakes. Peach and Cream Thick thick frosting with a peach slice put on top of the vanilla cupcake. Peach filling on the inside. The cake was slightly dry. Overall ok but definitely the most unappealing cupcake looks wise out of the ones I ordered. Classic vanilla I ordered the custom cupcakes, this one I made with strawberry filling, whipped cream frosting and strawberry topping. Out of the cupcakes I bought this one was definitely the cutest, I think it would be adorable for a party. The strawberry topping was delicious and after walking home the topping dripped down so if you order this I would recommend using a couple napkins when eating. Overall a good cupcakes on the lighter side, the strawberry taste is more of the artificial strawberry taste. Classic vanilla I ordered the custom cupcake with lemon filling and a whipped cream frosting. I was very very excited because lemon is my favorite flavor but was highly disappointed. There was almost no filling in the cupcake and I was overall left disappointed with the cupcake (but the whipped cream frosting was delicious). Chocolate overload I ordered the custom chocolate cupcake and wanted to go with the classic chocolate, coconut and caramel pairing. So I ordered a chocolate cupcake with caramel on the inside, vanilla buttercream with caramel and coconut on top. I will say that they did forget to put the caramel on top and for the filling. The buttercream was a lot thicker than I expected even from a buttercream and paired with the chocolate cupcake it was so overly rich and dense.

Omg so happy I finally tried this place. They have a delicious assortment of cupcakes. I went on a Tuesday and they were having a special so make sure to check them out! We ate these up so quickly. Will definitely be back!

Very cool concept that I haven't heard of before! They have a variety of cupcake flavors and you can also choose your cake flavor and build a cupcake with the choice of cake, filling, frosting, and toppings. I stopped by in the afternoon and there were still plenty of choices. The s'mores and banana cream cupcakes were phenomenal. I had seen other reviews saying to try this place instead of Georgetown cupcakes and I was not disappointed. Staff was very friendly as well helping me out since it was my first time in. Highly recommend trying this place out, also saw they have many awards.

This black women-owned bakery has a fun "create-your-own" cupcake, and carried pre-made cupcakes with some delightful styles. Was looking for a celebratory birthday cupcake for a friend when I saw shiny decorations that caught my eye. Had to make one of my own and give it taste test Definitely coming back for more celebratory cupcakes!

When I cheat on my diet I make it worthwhile. Today I picked up the most delicious carrot cake cupcake at My Cake Theory. It was the perfect combination of airy and flavorful, with raisins and walnuts and the perfect ratio of cream cheese frosting to cake. The man behind the counter was very nice. He even warned me beforehand ("You know this is carrot cake, right?"). He got me thinking . . . if you eat a cupcake that has carrots in it, are you really cheating? So I picked up a chocolate brownie cupcake too. Tip: Leave the long line at Eastern Market to the tourists and try these amazing cupcakes instead.

Being the cupcake connoisseur that I am, when I found out about a new cupcake spot in Capitol Hill (dead smack in the center of Eastern Market), I had to make my way there to try them. When I first arrived, I first noticed the meticulously curated decor with was simply adorable. As I glanced over the menu, I noticed that there were both specialty cupcakes as well as "plain" cupcakes - but with a twist! The plan cupcakes have the option of you choosing them having a filling inserted directly in the center of the cupcake, as well as choosing the type of icing ok top and also putting more toppings on top of the icing (very similar to how some ice cream shops have toppings you can put on them. I liked to see how they were giving customers the option to put their own spin on their cupcakes. I picked up 5 cupcakes (4 plan and one peach cobbler) and all of them were fantastic. All of them moist, with a great taste. I particularly liked the icing on the peach cobbler cupcake. Also, Tiffany (owner) & Brittany (employee) were so warm and welcoming. I also loved the fact that this is a minority owned business doin' their thing! If you're looking for a great cupcake spot, this is it! I'll definitely be making my way back here soon!

Seriously the best bakery in DC. I've built my own cupcakes here, and loved the experience, and savored their cupcakes of the month. The banana pudding is absolutely to die for!!! I've had such good experiences here that I went ahead and ordered a custom birthday cake for my boyfriend's birthday, and they absolutely killed it. I gave minimal instructions and just showed up to pick it up, and it was perfect. I can't recommend My Cake Theory enough -- and it's Black-owned!

A delightful new addition to the neighborhood. I like that you can choose a variety of toppings and fillings. Their Reese's was especially a hit. Nice staff. Hope this shop thrives! I got 6 cupcakes (posting my receipt for prices)

Super cute little quaint and trendy shop in the eastern market. The lady that owns it is super friendly, and so is her mom who is often there to greet you! The cupcakes are delicious, super moist, and fresh tasting. There is no shortage in flavors. You can really customize you cupcake to match whatever craving you're in the mood for. Everyone I bring is always very happy with their order, and the cakes are always decorated to perfection!

I don't get to Eastern Market often but when I do Cake Theory is on my bucket list. The cupcake was so good I licked the plastic and sucked every last drop from the paper.

Tried this new bakery in DC! They were passing out samples at the easten market & every single 1 was amazing! Definitely supporting this young, strong, beautiful black woman with her business. The concept is kinda like a subway where you build your own cupcake with cake flavor, filling, & icing & any garnishment of your choice. They also have ready made cupcakes & do custom cakes. And the store itself is charming. Definitely recommend.

I love, love, Love this Black owned business!! The customer service was amazing. The young woman at the counter was cordial and gave us a great deal of information about the business and how to make the best selection for our purchases. I have 2 children with food allergies so baked goods can be challenging. This establishment has a well executed plan to have gluten, nut free cupcakes already prepared in a variety of flavors and individually wrapped to ensure no cross contamination. We tried the chocolate chip and oreo. They were decadent! For our non allergy folks we tried red velvet, carrot cake, and peach cobbler. Every single one a winner!!!! Now an interesting feature of this bakery is you can pick your cupcake, vanilla, chocolate, red velvet and then add a filling pick a frosting and a topping to totally customize your cupcake. Mind blown! I made a vanilla cupcake with lemon filling and vanilla frosting with sprinkles. So good! I will definitely be back.

Delicious and moist and you can make your own cupcake! Great location and nice staff. Was happy to know they had vegan cupcakes as well. I highly recommend!

Omg I wish I had pictures to match my rating but My Cake Theory had the best cupcakes in DC!! Hands down. The ambience was gorgeous first off. I had the blueberry lemon, raspberry, salted caramel, and strawberry berry shortcake and every single one of them was moist, flavorful, and delicious! I can not wait to go back !

Amazing flavor selections and fabulous service. I bought an assortment for an office party and everyone thought these were fantastic. Love this place.

Best cakes and cupcakes that I ever experienced! Nice area and very nice bakery. It's the WOW factor!

What a creative concept. You walk in an order a cupcake custom-made - cake, filling, topping. The icing was delicious and the cake was fresh. Great value too.

Really happy they have gluten free cupcakes here I appreciate it :) And they're delicious!

Delicious cupcakes, the concept of building your own is unique! The staff is always friendly, and the atmosphere is clean and modern.

All I can say is these cupcakes are BOMB. You can I flavors for the middle of cupcakes, add toppings and drizzle. The staff were super nice, the store was so clean.

Fantastic cupcakes! Big hit at my wife's birthday party. Will definitely use them again

Fantastic service! We ordered a custom cake a week in advance. The team was incredibly flexible with last minute changes that truly exceeded my and our party guest's expectations! Everyone left our engagement party DEMANDING to know where the red velvet came from. We snagged a few extra business cards to properly distribute. The cake held its shape very well in a moderate temperature room for a couple of hours. I would imagine it would have lasted longer had not everyone gone for second servings! We will easily be back for future orders for any occasion. SIDE BAR: LGBTQ friendly. Thanks again!
