Cakes Plus

Great cakes but bring your own pictures. I ask the young lady to be creative and my budget is $ 180. I left with a $ 78 cake. Next time I’ll bring a picture of what I want. But I will still buy all my cakes from them

We were at Cakes Plus for our first time, but will not be our last! Delicious describes everything they create!
Sue and the qualified staff were so helpful and
considerate to our needs even though we should of ordered our specialty cake about 4 days earlier, they helped us pick out a beautiful design for the occasion!
We bought a dozen and ½ cupcakes while we were there and 4 of them did not get in the car as we tailgated and munched them down like 2 kids in a candy store! We look forward to returning next week to do some shopping for novelty items to bake at home! So thank you Cake Plus, the drive is worth it for excellence!

Their cupcakes make me happy. I go to this store occasionally to pick up baking supplies. It’s not a very big store but they have a wide variety of baking supplies.

5/​16/​15-​This bakery has been around forever, long before the cupcake explosion when specialized bakeries started popping up everywhere. Over the years, Cakes Plus consistently provided a wide variety of yummy confections at reasonable prices. The focus here is delivering quality with exceptional customer service versus elaborate packaging with subpar goods and crummy service. The storefront is simple, but not indicative of their ability. We (my friends and family) have used them to create modest sweets to more elaborate custom cakes.

I called a few days ago, wanting something for a graduation celebration on Saturday. They answered the call, discussed my options, and delivered on time AND with a smile. Everyone enjoyed the cute moist cupcakes-​even those watching their waistlines. Check them out, it’s well worth your time.

Stop what you’re doing and order a cupcake!
I’ve had a lot of cupcakes from multiple places (yes, I’m a fatty) and this place has the best ones I’ve ever had!
The icing was raspberry butter cream and the cupcake was a fluffy yellow cake with vanilla filling. It was moist and very flavorful. My husband devoured his before I could try it. but I think it’s safe to assume he enjoyed it.
We went here on Valentines Day and the line was extremely long. They looked stressed and overwhelmed but that didn’t take away their customer service. They made sure everyone left with what they wanted.
Service: B

Environment: B for busy!

Absolutely love the cupcakes as they are fresh daily. So in love with the cupcakes we ordered a full sheet for a birthday party. Spent almost $ 200 on decorations, toys etc… we were thoroughly disappointed with the cake. It tasted as though it had been sitting around the bakery for a week prior to our party. The icing had developed a hard crust and the cake was so dry our guest couldn’t choke it down. We threw most of it away. The service really is horrendous as someone else mentioned. They ignore you and go to the back kitchen then take a couple phone calls before even acknowledging that you are standing at the counter. So the moral of the story is if you have time to spare and need cupcakes this is your place!

Initial came in the get 4 cupcakes to celebrate my promotion. They were having a buy 4 get 4 free so that was get news. There weren’t a lot of selections or any special flavors just simple chocolate, vanilla, lemon, and red velvet. The cake itself was really good but the frosting was entirely too sweet and one dimension.
Not a bad place but I’ve definitely had better.

Horrendous service, as in: No «I’ll be right with you» as the employees continue to go on their merry ways.
Unappetizing cupcakes. Frozen day-​old cakes and crusty buttercream icing. The «special» cupcakes have disproportionately wayyy more icing than cake. $ 3.5+ for a «special» cupcake is a ripoff!
Gets the job done, but I’d rather go to Whole Foods for cupcakes around here. At least there, they are unpretentious and nice.

Yep! Still fantastic. Years later and Cakes Plus is still one of only two places I regularly go out of my way to get to for cake. The occasion this time was my mother-in-law’s birthday. I was fretting because I should have put in an order earlier at my other go-​to when I remembered that Cakes Plus had some birthday cakes ready to go without having to place an order in advance. I was able to walk right in, pick out a beautiful cake for 15 people, get her name and «Happy Birthday» written on it, and walk out all within 10 minutes. FANTABULOUS!
Once we cut into that sucker that night? Holy Moly! I was a hero! Everyone looooooooooved it. The vanilla cake was so rich and dense and marvelous, the entire table was oooing and ahhhhing! I am still more of a whipped cream frosting person than a buttercream, but I am going to bump Cakes Plus up to 5 stars anyway for coming in in a clutch and always having the freshest, densest cakes and for having those cakes ready to go even when people like me almost drop the ball! lol!

Cakes are good (only better bakery in LAurel area). They have different price range depending on the cake size.(for 2.4…8,…12 people) moist, tasty and decorated well.
Cupcakes are good/​edible (no complains) DC’s Georgetwn CUPCAKES or The Sweet Lobby by Eastern Market are TO DIE FOR Good.
We need another bakeshop in Laurel to catch-​up with the trend. There are plenty of vacant units around Laurel.

Cakes Plus makes great looking cakes. No one can beat their artistic flair. But I find their cakes to be dry and and a little … bland.
Their cupcakes a pretty good.

I am shocked to see the low number of stars. This is a standard cupcake and cake maker — not the dressed up, gourmet style type of cupcakes or cakes. The bakers stick with the basics; and I appreciate it. I enjoy the lemon cupcake and yellow cake with chocolate icing — I don’t stray from those two flavors for cupcakes.
For my wedding, I ordered my cake from this location and it was SUPERB — they delivered on-​time (early), the cake was exactly as I wanted, and everyone enjoyed the cake… so much so that they ate my top-​cake that supposed to be preserved for the couple at the 1-​year anniversary. For my wedding, I ordered the marble cake for several cakes (the wedding/​reception participants) and the top was a carrot cake (for hubby and me for our anniversary). We didn’t get a chance to have our own top-​cake… :) We will order our top-​cake from them for our next anniversary.
PS – whenever we are in the area, we stop by Cake Plus to gave a 6-​pack of our favorite cupcakes. Usually, the first poor little cupcake doesn’t make it out of the parking lot (CHOMP!).

I order one Red Velvet and a Spice Cupcake. The both of them were horrible. The cake taste like it was made straight from the box, and the icing was the same not homemade.
