JennyCakes Bakery

It was a breeze ordering a cake for my husband from JennyCakes! I placed an online order for their Coconut Almond Cake (9 inch) the day before his birthday. I arrived at the time I requested and it was all ready! The shop is quite small and busy, but everyone was incredibly nice. The parking is tricky, but I just found a spot down the street. They accept credit cards as well. The cake was absolutely delicious. We ended up freezing half of it! I will definitely order from them again.

Outstanding service, delicious cake, and accommodated my last minute order. Will definitely return.

We had a great experience here this weekend. I first went into the bakery last week to order a cake for my daughter’s 6^th birthday, but was told to order online– they were all very nice. So, I went home and ordered online which was very easy to do, and I also added a picture of a cake I found online that I liked. I couldn’t have been any happier! The cake was perfect and my daughter absolutely loved it. Everyone at the party asked where I ordered it from so they can go there! My experience has been great and I would recommend this bakery.

I ordered 2 half sheet cakes from Jennycakes for my son’s graduation party. Not only were they beautifully done and delicious but when I put in the wrong pick up time in my online order, Jenny and her staff we’re FABULOUS and worked with us to accommodate our needs even though the mistake was solely mine.
The party was a success and our guests loved the cakes. I will definitely use JennyCakes again and I have already recommended the bakery to my friends.

I feel sorry for myself that I’m so late getting on board the JennyCakes train. Seriously.
I’ve heard rumors before from neighbors about how good it was. But you know how rumors are. One person says something and then someone misinterprets it and says another thing. So when someone raved about the pies I thought it was all hype.
Well, the other night my sweet tooth and I decided to check out the JennyCakes website and we settled on ordering a key lime pie. For good measure, I threw in a carrot cupcake and a lemon cupcake.
I’m not exaggerating when I say this key lime pie is likely the best rendition I’ve ever had. It’s silky smooth and creamy with the perfect balance between tart and sweet. Even the graham cracker crust had me licking my plate. And it’s a STEAL at $ 15. The carrot cake cupcake was delicious and the lemon cupcake was also quite good (a tad sweet for my taste) but I think they’d be better if I had allowed them to come to room temperature before consuming.
Since my first experience with JennyCakes was such a success, I have no hesitation at trying many more items off the menu. Go for it. Be like me.

We’ve ordered two cakes here. One for my husband’s 30^th birthday and one for my son’s second birthday. They were both fantastic: gorgeous and delicious. My husband got a salted caramel cake in gold, while my son got a marble cake with a train theme in the colors of his birthday party. The staff at Jenny Cakes was totally accommodating to my design ideas and executed my visions perfectly. I wish I had more excuses to order special cakes from this wonderful neighborhood bakery.

Update: Jenny cakes continues to deliver outstanding service. This is a very busy small bakery. This isn’t Giant or Safeway, you can’t stroll in here and buy a cake same day. The ordering process is easy. I did mine online I think it was 2 days minimum or You can also call and place order. When I picked up my delicious Cassata Cake (white icing and strawberries) the presentation was just perfect. It didn’t last long at home. I followed the thawing instructions as it makes a huge difference in taste when you do that. I also picked up some treats. Maple cookies are my favorite and cheese muffins are a must every time I visit.
As for customer service here, definitely 5 stars. I never have problems. I always see Jenny and she always smiles and says hello. The bakery is small and its busy because they make delicious sweets to make your occasion special.
It’s easier to get here from Connecticut and Knowles Ave.

One word: OUTRAGEOUS! As in outrageously delicious! I’ve tried most of their cupcakes and they are the best I’ve had, and having been a chef in the past, I’m pretty picky. Their magic bars, key lime pie, and peanut butter blossoms are out of bounds good. The service is extremely friendly and you can tell the products are made with love and care. Don’t miss this place!!!

We surprised our son with a cake of his favorite candy — Sour Patch Kids! Jenny Cakes did an amazing job using a photo we found on the internet. The cake was beautiful and delicious, too! Our son loved it!

We were trying to find a bakery to do a cake for our daughter’s art themed 5^th birthday party, and I am so glad we found Jenny Cakes! Jenny responded immediately to all of my emails, and was able to provide me with photos of similar cakes they’d done. The cake looked amazing and tasted great — multiple people asked us who made the cake so they could order from the bakery in the future! To top it all off, the cake was also affordable!

I am in the market for a small wedding cake (and a sheet cake to go with it) for a wedding this fall in MoCo, but I’m from the Bmore area. So searching around Unilocal has been very helpful for discovering what is around. We picked a weekend to go around to a few bakeries — even setting up a tasting at one. Unfortunately, Jenny does not do tastings, so we stopped by on a busy Saturday to pick up a dozen cupcakes, which we sampled back at the house. FYI I only dinged a star since they do not do tastings, so we will have to remember the flavors to decide for the cake (since there is an extra layer plus frosting to decide on).
Not knowing the procedure for wedding cake buying, I called the shop earlier in the week and spoke to a pleasant woman, who told me to email Jenny herself. Jenny was super responsive from the jump, giving me prices and ideas since my wedding cake mental image is something fairly specific. She said that the shop is small, and they do most ordering online, and went on to talk about a recent cake they have made, etc. Basically, she went above and beyond a good first impression.
The cupcakes were solidly just damn good. The buttercreams were not too sweet, and we fell in love with the strawberry. Their treats are more similar to Georgetown Cupcakes than, say, an old-​school French style bakery or a dessert you’d get from a restaurant menu. The flavors are not crazy or complex. But that is fine — there is a time and place for each. However, if you go the simple route, you better do it well. And JennyCakes does.
After going around to other bakeries in the area, I am convinced that Jenny is the most trustworthy and caring cake-​maker in the area, as she has already taken time out of her busy days to assist me and I haven’t even said I am definitely giving her business yet (but I think we will)!

There are so few excellent bakeries, so I was thrilled to find JennyCakes. I ordered my boyfriend’s birthday cake — gluten free vanilla cake with lemon zest frosting and filling, not knowing what to expect. Gluten free cake can be terrible, but JC’s was absolutely delicious! Totally made from scratch and no one couldn’t tell it was GF. I will be ordering all my cakes (GF and non-​GF) from JennyCakes from here on out — that is for sure!

The WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. I walked in here to get a birthday cake and the women working there basically shooed me out and said that it couldn’t be done because they were overbooked. They didn’t even take my phone number or email just in case
When I told the owner about it — all she said was «oh that’s too bad.»
The quality of their cakes aren’t even that great — I try to support local small business owners — but to be blunt — Jenny Cakes isn’t all that.
If you are looking for mediocre cakes, terrible customer service and a business that doesn’t care about the happiness of their clients, come here.

I’m an avid cupcake connoisseur. As a Wheaton area local, whenever I’m at home and the sudden craving for those delicious baked goods came across me, if I didn’t have the energy to make the trek to dc to go to my favorite bakeries, I would have to settle for mediocre stuff nearby. However, now that I have discovered JennyCakes, that is no longer the case!
Their cupcakes are flavorful, moist and have the perfect cake/​icing ratio. The icing has a great texture and is not overwhelmingly sweet. My all time favorites are the salted caramel and the carrot cake, however I have tried most of the flavors over time and have yet to be disappointed. I have also tried the blueberry muffin and a few of their cookies (omg so chewy). All amazing.
I can never walk in and buy just one thing. This place is so great. So happy I can now say I have a favorite local bakery.

We got a chocolate cake for my son’s birthday. It was fantastic. Really chocolatey. Rich. Looked amazing. The staff was also super nice and helpful. The chocolate chip cookie I had for the ride was great, too.

We ordered from JennyCakes for the past two years for my daughters birthday, which happens to be Christmas. This year I wanted a special cake for her with Frozen characters and they didn’t disappoint. The decorator did a fantastic job and the cake was delicious. We got ganache in the middle which was so good. Thank you!

I came across JennyCakes through Unilocal as I was looking for a cake for my mom’s birthday. I read the reviews and decided to order! It was the best choice made as everyone loved the cake and was asking where I ordered it from. They loved that it was so moist and the icing’s not too sweet – I ordered for Almond flavored yellow cake.
I would definitely recommend this place. I saved some to share at work, my co workers are curious about it since I told them I found JennyCakes in Unilocal :) I’m sure just like me & our guests, they will not be disappointed:)
Let me mention how nice and accommodating Jenny is. She’s very quick to respond to my emails and inquiries:) Thank you Jenny!

What a wonderful hidden treasure in Old Towne Kensington! I’ve ordered a couple of their Red Velvet cakes and been blown away by how good they taste… literally the best cake I’ve ever tasted.
If you have a special event or someone in your life, and need something special, run don’t walk to Jenny’s to place your order (their online system via their website works great). Enjoy!

I referred my best friend to Jenny Cakes for her sister in laws baby shower! She ordered an almond cake with strawberry filling and vanilla and chocolate cupcakes. I did the favor of picking up the cake for her! It was actually my first time being in the bakery! The staff was super friendly! The guy with the pink hair was kind enough to offer and help me take and place the boxes in my car! That is the kind of great service you don’t see too! Big thank you to him for being a helping hand! :) Everyone at the baby shower was very please with the cake and the cupcakes! Can’t wait for the next tasty cake from JennyCakes!

We discovered Jenny cakes quite by accident while meeting friends at Frankly Pizza, next door. So glad we did! We ordered our wedding cakes from them, using one of our invites to guide them for the artwork and floral theme. We were blown away when we arrived to pick-​up the finished product, both by the beautifully rendered design, and the very reasonable price. The cake was a huge hit at our reception, with everyone wanting a photo and asking where we got it.
The cake was as delicious as it was beautiful (we are still eating the left-​overs). It really helped to make our big day a success. Thank you, JennyCakes! :)
