Fluffy Thoughts Cakes

I haven’t gotten my wedding cake from here just yet, but we went to a tasting today and it was amazing. They had lots of vegan options, and all of them were delicious. They were also extremely helpful when it came to suggesting designs, etc.

We recently bought a cake for a baby shower, the lemon rasperry filling with frosting in an orange fade. It was AWESOME. Besides being beautiful, the cake and frosting tasted fantastic. We are still talking about how great it was. Thank you.

I ordered a 9″ cake to bring to a dinner party for a friend who’s husband just past away, it was their wedding anniversary. The cake was NOT ready. The person who took the order wrote down the wrong date. The owner kept saying the date was wrong not trying to help resolve the issue. Fortunately, there was an 8″ cake in the oven. My husband and son waited while it cooked and cooled and was ready to take. I asked that nothing be written on the cake and yet they wrote «Thinking of you» on the cake!!! What the heck? Then they charged me for a 9″ cake when they gave us an 8″ cake. The cake was so sweet couldn’t eat the frosting, made us sick. Totally unreliable, won’t use again.

I have used Fluffy Thought Cakes for over 5 years. My first introduction to Lara (owner) was a wedding cake that she did for me and my husband. The cake was elegant and had wonderful flavors. Since that time, I have used Fluffy Thought Cakes for my first baby shower, my son’s birthday, my 30^th birthday and now my second baby shower.
Although I have always been impressed with the craftsmanship of Fluffy Thought Cakes, they really outdid themselves with a cake they recently made for me. I recently hosted a Vegas themed gender reveal baby shower for my second little bundle of joy. When I told Lara the concept (that guests would be betting on the gender of the baby and that I used to live in Nevada, hence the Vegas theme), she created a perfectly executed cake that stunned all of my guests. The cake was a roulette wheel that used pink and blue instead of black and red. Lara also added edible playing cards and poker chips around the wheel, each of which looked so real that you almost were not sure if the cake was just a prop.
(I wish I could post a picture, but I cannot seem to figure out how to do so.)
Each time I have worked with Fluffy Thought Cakes, they have been very professional and accommodating. Lara maintains excellent records, always letting me know, upon my inquiry, the previous cake flavors I have used for my events. It is also a nice touch to have direct access to Lara (owner), who truly cares about her business and customer satisfaction.
For any events I have where cakes, cake pops, cupcakes, etc are involved, I do not look any further than Fluffy Thought Cakes!

I ordered a special cake for my nephew’s 16^th birthday, it was nothing short of amazing. I sent a picture of a sneaker and the cake looked just like it and tasted delicious. I can’t stop talking about the great customer service and and expertise. What a find, I will use them for every special event. Outstanding!!!

nothing short of amazing! thanks to everyone at fluffy thoughts for helping our vision come to life in the most delicious way!

Placed my order for my boyfriends 25^th birthday, it was a hulk smash cake along with superhero cupcakes! Absolutely loved it! Not to sweet or to creamy! Just right and I loved the buttetcream filling. Would definitely order again! Thank you Guys once again!

This place did my wedding cake three years ago. It was wonderful. Since then I’ve tried to stop for cupcakes anytime im in the area. Unfortunately that doesn’t happen often, so I’ll get a big batch of cupcakes.
My favorite cupcake is the tres leches with Kailua whipped cream. Other mentionables include key lime pie, and Samoa.

I have tried several cupcakes here so I know whats good and what’s not.
Samoa is my favorite. It’s basically like the Girl Scout Samoa cookie. There’s caramel filling inside too, but sometimes they really skimp you with it as there’s not too much. But the coconut frosting is amazing! The milk and cookies cupcake and hot fudge sundae are good too. Very sweet frosting which I actually like! They used to have a cookie dough cupcake that was really good too, I think it was called Cookie Bonanza, but sadly it’s gone now.
I’ve also tried the Cannoli, the s’mores, and the vanilla which are nothing special. The cake part is a bit dry to me in the vanilla.
The s’mores cupcake was so bad I couldn’t eat it. The frosting was way too sticky and it wasn’t even frosting… it was like marshmallow microwaved or something to me.
Another thing to note is the staff isn’t very friendly. They look at you and speak with some kind of attitude, which isn’t pleasant. Oh and one last tip: they don’t accept credit card unless you spend over $ 10, which is kinda lame to me.
EDIT: I’ve also noticed that they don’t wear gloves when handing you the cupcakes… that’s kinda dirty because their hand/​fingernails could touch the frosting or something when they hand it to you. I know at Sprinkles cupcakes they use gloves when they hand me the cupcakes and take them off when they ring it up in the register. I think they should do the same here…

This is hands down the BEST place in DC, MD, VA to get your wedding cake! My husband and I recently got married and Lara and her team were absolutely wonderful! I wanted to surprise my husband with a groom’s cake in the shape of his favorite Jordan sneaker and holy canoli did Lara pull through! I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, I mean how realistic can you make a sneaker cake look (goggle it-there’s some really BAD fails out there)? But after seeing her portfolio, talking to her about her fine art background, tasting the different cakes (believe me, that was the BEST part!) and seeing the passion for what she does first-​hand, I knew I had to have her make the groom’s cake and our wedding cake. Both turned out so awesome-​and delicious! It seriously was one of the highlights of our wedding and Lara was so careful to not let my husband find out about his special surprise. All of our guests complimented us on how delicious the cakes were and our venue had given us a few extra slices at the end of the night… and all I can say is that they didn’t survive to see the sun rise!
I look forward to returing to Fluffy Thoughts for all of my cake needs in the future! And let’s be real… anytime I have a hinkering for a cupcake…(those are also so good).
In case you’re wondering-​for our main wedding cake we had a dulce de leche filled white cake and a (fresh!) strawberry filled white cake with a vanilla buttercream icing. The groom’s cake was basically a chocolate macaroon.
Go here-​I promise you, you won’t be disappointed!
Thanks, Fluffy Thoughts Cakes for making our wedding day extra special! As soon as I drop the 5lbs I gained from eating so much cake, I’ll be back!

Fluffy Thoughts made the most delicious cake for my wedding! For my November wedding, Lara and her team made us an apple spice cake with caramel and cream cheese frosting and an almond cake with lemon, raspberry, and cream cheese frosting. It tasted great during the tasting, and more importantly, on our wedding day.
Another huge perk was that our cake was BEAUTIFUL. It was four tiers, and Lara copied the lace on my wedding dress on one of the layers. It was stunning.
Something important worth noting is that we had gone to Fancy Cakes by Leslie in Bethesda before we went to Fluffy Thoughts after Fancy Cakes received so many positive reviews and awards. However, we had a very unpleasant experience at Fancy Cakes; when we went to order the cake, they had no recollection of our 30 minute consultation, so we quickly cancelled and went to Fluffy Thoughts. Thank goodness we did — Fluffy Thoughts was the best!

Took the kids and stopped by for some cupcakes today. A cute little shop with enticing looking cupcakes. We bought chocolate peanut butter, chocolate chip cookie, and cookies and cream. The cake itself was a bit dry (I’m a baker myself, so I am a little picky about things) but tasty. The frostings? Even the kids said they were too sweet! Wow. I like my sweets, but the frosting was over the top. When sweets are over the top for a 16 year old who never met a chocolate anything she didn’t like and an 11 year old who thinks that nerds would be an awesome breakfast cereal, that’s something.
I like to support local businesses, but I’m not a big fan. I have had much worse (including my own baking fails, so I am empathetic.) But the frosting really didn’t work for me.

This review is for a cake tasting. I called Fluffy Thoughts and spoke to a friendly associate. I explained that I have several *severe* food allergies. The associate assured me that they have requests like ours, «all the time…» and that the next step was to pick flavors to try. Fluffy has an extensive and delicious menu for wedding cakes. Several red flags:
1. They emailed me several weeks before the tasting with a questionnaire about the wedding and our flavor choices. I emailed back within the week and never heard back.
2. Three days before our tasting I received an email stating that they did not hear from us and our appointment would be cancelled if we did not email our flavor request. I emailed back. We heard nothing. I stressed in this email our food restrictions.
3. The day of the tasting we arrived and were taken to the bakery. They have a tasting room, but they said another bride was coming in that day. I was surprised… since we were there first, why we weren’t offered the lovely room. Instead, we were taken to the bakery where there were several bar stools. I had to put my purse on the bottom of the table where the other employees keep their things. Meanwhile, in the tasting room next door a bride and her mother were having a beautiful tasting — by beautiful I mean their strawberry icing had real strawberries. Our strawberry icing did not have real strawberries. I brought this up to the person working with us and she said, «sorry that was an oversight on my part.» hmmm
4. THE WORSE PART. We were given one flavor of cake. It turns out they do not often have requests like ours. I don’t know where the miscommunication started. I called, emailed twice… ONE FLAVOR. They told me they can also do a chocolate cake… but we didn’t get to try it because they didn’t make it. What was the point of telling us to pick flavors if they only offered two?
5. The bride in the tasting room next to us was working with someone who used colored pencils to design a beautiful cake. I asked our associate why we weren’t given a design like that… and she stated, «maybe they wanted a more elaborate design than yours.» Hahaha well… how would you know what type of design I wanted if you didn’t take the time to give me that type of service?
The only reason I know what the other bride was up to was because I went into the bakery after our tasting to purchase some cupcakes for my family to try. What a disappointment. We were completely dismissed and I have a feeling it was because of my allergies. I wish the sales team would have just let us down easy on the phone. All they needed to say was, «we love making specialty cakes, but we only offer two flavors based on your request.» I would have had much better expectations. I can’t explain the lack of service we received the day of or the difference in service. I hate knocking local businesses, but this was a terrible experience.

I’ve had Fluffy Thoughts before with friends bringing back treats or at Nationals Stadium, but it was only until recently that I went to the actual bakery. We had visited Fluffy Thoughts for our cake tasting and decided to pick up a cupcake to take home. The cupcake we chose was the smore cupcake; we only got one to share because we were quite full after the tasting (more about the tasting in a bit).
The stop itself is small but decorated with various cake samples. Their display case has different cupcakes and macaroons of the day. They also make gluten free cupcakes, which is always a plus. They have one small tasting room in the front but they also do tastings in their kitchen where the decorators work.
Now to the tasting. We arrived a few minutes early for a tasting which was fine. It gave us a chance to look at the different cake designs. They also offered us fresh coffee on the house for our tasting. If you decide to have a tasting at Fluffy Thoughts, appointments are needed. When it was time for our appointment, we were led to the kitchen where the cake decorators worked. The tasting went relatively smoothly, though they forgot one of the cakes flavors we had asked for. They apologized and quickly made it up by giving us mini cupcakes with the flavors we tried. We tried the red velvet, chocolate, and white cake, with different frostings: vanilla, 2 types if coconut, 2 types of strawberry, blackberry, coffee, cookies and cream, passion fruit purée, and chocolate ganache. It was nice being able to add the amount of frosting to the cake that we wanted to really get the flavors. The decorators worked with us to design our cake and cupcake and were mindful of the fact that we are on a budget.
Overall good experience and good experience. We shall see what we choose!

I bought a birthday cake, vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream, and was underwhelmed. Icing was bland, cake was dry and design which was a simple heart in sprinkles was crooked. I’ve been a loyal customer for over two years and will try a new place next time. Disappointing cake and overall dampened the birthday celebration.

I really wanted to like this place. 1. It’s local 2. Woman owned 3. I love cupcakes! I’m a cupcake snob though, as I usually hold out for Georgetown Cupcake. Anyways, I finally remembered to make it to Fluffy Thoughts before close… I got the Milk and Cookies… couldn’t wait to get home to enjoy it… pulled it out the bag and the top cake (underneath the icing) was hard… still believing there’s hope I bit into it and ugh! All you taste is sugar! I couldn’t tell you what flavor I’d purchased if I wouldn’t have picked it out myself. It tasted like one big fat glob of stale, crumbly sugar! This was a first and last visit for me!

Oh my!!! So my sisters birthday is today, the 6^th so I ordered over phone yesterday. Due to everywhere in Georgetown does not deliver except G. T cupcakes. We have done our welcome with them since the little house was the hidden gem.
Well… I jumped out on a limb to find the most perfect cake! Didn’t know how far they were or if they would travel the distance to me. Luck was on my side. It SNOWED the next day!!! I called to see if they would still deliver, the lady said she’ll Check. So I went to get a glorious tip for his service. Unfortunately I missed him by seconds.
’ Fluffy Thoughts ’ has come through as spoken. Please check out the lemon raspberry, four layer, heavy lb. for lb. beautifully decorative and every taste bud counts cake! My sister was much obliged.

We used fluffy thoughts out of many because of the detail that went into designing the cake. Yeah, I have to agree that sometimes you can get lost and there are some issues at the counter but overall we had a great experience. The Cake is what my wife wanted.
Overall very happy with the Cake and quality

Hands down the best cupcakes and cakes anywhere in the mid Atlantic Seriously I think the whole cupcake craze is ridiculous, but Fluffy Thoughts is on another level. THE. BEST.

I had a Groupon that I’d been saving to use here.
The place is cute but not conveniently located. The prices are a bit expensive but I guess that’s because you’re paying for the presentation and work that goes into bakery.
Some of the cupcakes were a little hard/​stale which was unfortunate considering we paid upward of $ 4 for them each.
If I could change one thing about this place it would be that they would add inside seating or at least open the tasting room when it’s not in use. Carrying cupcakes and cake pops on the go was kind of annoying and they started to melt in the heat.
I liked looking at the cakes that were on display in the back more than I did eating the actual cupcakes. Oh well.
