    Cake was delicious and beautiful

    Megan was easy to get in contact with and worked with our ideas for the cake we wanted. This was only an issue on my end, but paying her was a little tricky because I had some PayPal issues and I don't live in America. But! Megan was flexible with finding a solution though and it all worked out.

    We got the lemon pound cake with lemon curd and my husband and I loved it. Lots of our guests came up and told us how good it was!

    Delicious, and beautiful cake!!

    OMG, the cake! Megan showed up with mini cakes so we can have a tasting in the lobby of our apartment building. The quality and flavors were amazing. We had a lot leftover and I literally ate cake every night for 2 weeks after the wedding. I also hired her to do a birthday / gender reveal cake for us! Megan is a sweetheart and we were so happy to work with her.

    Best wedding cake you'll ever taste

    Megan baked us the most delicious wedding cake I've ever tasted! Our guests were raving about it, especially the chocolate layer. Working with Megan to decide on flavors and design was easy and fun. She is very friendly and very competent at what she does! She was a completely professional, even calming, presence on the day of, delivering the cake and decorating it with flowers in a timely manner (so important on the wedding day itself!). I cannot recommend her highly enough!

    Yum Yum Yum

    Just thinking about Megan's cupcakes has me drooling! We chose 4 different flavors and every single one of them was amazing! The cupcakes were so delicious that we had to fight our bridal party for the few leftover ones!

    Delicious and beautiful

    Megan took my inspiration pictures and brought it to life! And she has so many amazing and unique flavors to choose from that we had to go 1/2 and 1/2 because we couldn't pick just one. All of the guests raved about our cake!

    Best Wedding Cake Ever!

    Cakes by Megan is by far one of the most excellent choices we made during our wedding. Megan was a pleasure to work with. She was very professional, flexible, creative, and fun to work with. She made our vision come true. When it came time to meet up for a cake tasting, Megan went above and beyond to meet us in a location that was convenient for us. She was patient and made sure the design of our cake was everything we wanted and more. We could not be even more happy with her services. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to hire a fun and creative cake vendor! Thank you once again for making the best cake ever Megan!

    Highly recommend!

    Our experience with Megan was A+ from start to finish. Her tastings are not only complimentary but ultra convenient, as she will meet you at a mutually convenient location. Each flavor at the tasting is an entire miniature cake, which is both great for groups (for our wedding, we had parents and siblings eager to get in on the cake-tasting action) and really helpful to get an idea of what the cake will actually taste like. (No dried-out cake bites and unappetizing piles of frosting here!) We paid a little extra to try extra flavors (up to 3 were complimentary) and it was well worth the cost, especially since we came away from the tasting with lots of delicious leftovers.

    Most importantly, Megan's cakes are AMAZING. Our cake was gorgeous, and more importantly, it tasted fantastic. I can honestly say that our wedding cake was the best wedding cake I have ever had, and multiple people specifically commented on how good the cake was. We will happily order other cakes from her in the future.

    Also importantly, her prices are insane (in a good way)! We did a LOT of research and had multiple other tastings, and Megan's cake was not only the best-tasting, but also the least expensive. We really could not have asked for a better deal, a better baker, or a better final product. She was very open to our desire to save money by ordering a combination of a tiered cake and sheet cakes--where other bakers dissuaded us (as this means a less expensive cake order overall), Megan was not only encouraging, she assured us that the sheet cakes would be of equal height and caliber to the tiered cake. (And they were!) We really appreciated her willingness to work with us on both price and format.

    Finally, Megan is accommodating--at the last minute (a month before the wedding), we wanted to order 300+ customized cookies to use as wedding favors. She was not only able to accommodate our last-minute request, but also delivered the cookies a few days ahead of time and included extras in case of breakage.

    Honestly, I could go on and on--but the bottom line is that you won't find a better cake or better price anywhere in northern Virginia. We can't recommend Megan highly enough!

    Our special day would not have been complete without the delicious and beautiful cake that Megan baked for our wedding! We were impressed with her attentiveness to detail, responsiveness to our emails and questions, and her friendly demeanor. The overall value and experience offered by Cakes by Megan is second to none. It is well worth your time to reach out to Megan and inquire about her services for your wedding!

    Megan was such a doll to work with. Not only did she bring delicious samples to our tasting but she even custom made my cake and it fit within my budget!! I must have gone to at least 5 other vendors who either couldn't custom I've the flavors and/or it came out to be well over $1,000 for 150 people! Megan even gave us the 4th tier for free to eat later in the year (we were going to save it for our 1 year anniversary but.... we'll be having it sooner than that because it's just that good.) She listened to what I wanted and truly delivered. I highly recommend Megan for any and all types of cake!

    We hired Megan for our recent wedding and I cannot recommend her enough. Our cakes were delicious (we went with the pumpkin spice and Butterscotch) and were an incredible value (and more importantly so tasty!). They looked gorgeous and were delivered on time and even more beautifully than I had hoped. Thank you Megan!

    I am a true lover of dessert and cake in particular, so I had some pretty high expectations when it came to our wedding cake.
    We got married in the middle of July when it's impossibly hot out, and our guests were going to be served a large family-style Italian meal before dessert, so we wanted a cake that would be light and fresh. We set up a tasting with Cakes by Megan after seeing the inventive flavors and her use of fresh ingredients, and we were sold right away! The icing was perfect (light but flavorful), the cake was moist, and her designs were awesome! We decided to choose two flavors (s'mores and mixed berry), and we made sure to order even amounts of both so guests could enjoy both flavors. The cake was even more beautiful than we imagined, and everything actually tasted even better than when we sampled it! We got rave reviews from guests about how incredibly good it was, and we were happy to have ordered more than necessary so that we got to take some home. Megan also offers a fresh mini anniversary cake so that you don't have to save the top layer! Hooray!

    Excellent value, flexible to work with, very responsive, and most important of all: delicious cakes!! We had a hard time deciding which flavor to get because there are so many to choose from. Also, I made a design change after our cake tasting and Megan was very easily able to accommodate that change- she even had the decoration I wanted to buy already available! I'm so happy I found Megan!!

    We were very pleased with the cake and customer service provided by Cakes by Megan. Her prices were extremely reasonable and the cake was beautiful and delicious! Megan provided a tasting for me, my mom and the groom, walked us through the pricing of cakes and cupcakes, and helped us decide on a final design for our cake. Based on my research of other vendors, her prices were the lowest-- plus the prices included a very beautiful design.

    Megan was also very accommodating for the day-of plans. The week before the wedding, we delivered fake flowers to her house which she used to decorate the cake, as it was an easy way to save money. She also helped us by taking the cake knife, server and our toasting flutes to the reception venue, and set them out on the cake table and sweetheart table as we requested. We certainly did not expect her to set these up for us, and for her to be so helpful made us feel even better about selecting her as our vendor.

    We were very happy with Cakes by Megan-- Thank you!

    We found Cakes by Megan online; Megan responded very quickly and provided a cake tasting at a time that worked with my husband's work schedule, as well as mine. Megan is a wonderfully talented cake baker/decorator and has the warm friendly personality to match. We loved meeting with her and describing what we envisioned for our wedding cake. The cake was delivered with perfect timing and was exactly what we wanted; elegant and delicious!!! I will definitely call her again for future events.

    I was absolutely thrilled with my cake. It was gorgeous. The height, the look, the color, and the taste turned out beautiful. Many people at the wedding commented on how good the cake was. Thank you Megan you did an outstanding job. I am so proud of how beautiful the cake was. I will always remember it!

    ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS. Everyone raved about our cake! The photographer featured it, as he loved it as well!
    Megan was so personable- she came to our house for the cake tasting! Her price was unbelievable! She gave us more options than we thought we could afford... and the cake was THE most amazing cake either one of us have ever tasted! Hands-down I would recommend her to any bride and groom without a doubt. We tried other places, and Megan was the best taste, value, personality and design.

    Despite a power outage the day before the wedding that knocked out the whole region, Megan still managed to mix our cakes in the dark and then bake them when the power came back on (thank goodness!!). I think that alone qualifies her for 5 stars!

    But in addition to feats against power and other catastrophes, Megan is also a lovely person. Our tasting at her home was fun and helpful. She had a whole book of pictures to help us find something we liked for the design, for which we didn't really have an idea. And the cake is delicious! Amazing, totally amazing cake. We were very happy with the three flavors we tried, but kept it to 2, almond and lemon, for the actual cake. It was beautiful, tasty, and perfect.

    Everything from the initial communication to the tasting to the actual day was wonderful. Megan is extremely talented and very helpful in visualizing what a couple is looking for. She created a beautiful and delicious display of cupcakes with a small top layer for cutting. It was exactly what I'd hoped for. If you're in the DC Metro area and are having a wedding or special event, I highly recommend you use Megan. I would definitely use her again!

    Cakes by Megan is a great place to get your wedding cake! Megan makes amazing cakes, with both traditional and fun flavor combinations.

    If I could give her a 10 on the flexibility, I would. She met with us just a few weeks before our wedding, after our first cake provider's business burned down. For our convenience, she met us in a park (seriously!) and she brought plastic plates and knives and five cute decorated cakes. She was amazing.

    Our guests loved our cake and we definitely made sure to grab a piece because it was just soo delicious! Pretty sure the groom had about three pieces whenever he got a chance! Highly recommend cakes by megan!
