Affordable high quality wedding cake!
From the moment we tasted the cakes at Alexandria Pastry Shop we were blown away by the flavors and quality of these cakes. We did a 3 tier red velvet and a sheet cake that was vanilla buttercream with a raspberry filling - both were impeccable and our guests complimented them all night. The presentation was stunning - they copied the exact picture of the cake I wanted and it was perfection! They are also incredibly affordable compared to other wedding cake shops and this pastry shop doesn’t use any fake ingredients and source locally - incredible!From the moment we tasted the cakes at Alexandria Pastry Shop we were blown away by the flavors and quality of these cakes.

Great dessert bar for our wedding
We worked with Alexandria Pastry Shop for our wedding in August 2022. In lieu of a typical wedding cake, we had a buffet of assorted desserts- cupcakes, fruit tarts, cookies and brownies. All the guests complimented the treats and the team was easy to work with in advance of and on the big day. We recommend!We worked with Alexandria Pastry Shop for our wedding in August 2022.

Delicious cake!
We received many compliments on the taste of our cake! In an effort to save money, we ordered a 3 tier cake with an extra sheet cake at the baker’s suggestion.We received many compliments on the taste of our cake!

Best local pastry shop
Let's start with their cake tasting, they went above and beyond with size of cake slices. They were very thorough with cake design, and they DELIVERED quality in design. I didn't expect a pinterest picture ready cake, and they left me speechless with how beautiful it was. Their mousse cakes are so moist and best of their kind. Cannot wait to get our cake every year for our anniversary.Let's start with their cake tasting, they went above and beyond with size of cake slices.

Great cake; helpful throughout
First off, the cake was delicious. But more important than that, the Alexandria Pastry Shop worked with us throughout our wedding process (even as we had to change our big celebration from 2020 to 2021 as a result of the pandemic) to help us design the cake we wanted and for flexibility as our plans continued to change. Great cake; great service.First off, the cake was delicious.

Wonderful Winter Wedding Cake
My husband and I tasted so many cakes and visited several bakeries. Alexandria Pastry Shop stood out because it tasted the best. Period. We opted for three flavors: carrot cake, Red Velvet, and Bavarian cream. All were amazing, especially the carrot cake, probably because the carrot is sautéed in butter before it's put into the batter! Tom and his team were amazing, and the end product was a delicious, three-level winter wedding cake that looked like it was dusted in snow. It also got rave reviews from our guests!My husband and I tasted so many cakes and visited several bakeries. Alexandria Pastry Shop stood out because it tasted the best. Period.

Delicious and Beautiful
I've been going to Alexandria Pastry Shop since I was a kid, and they have the most delicious pastries and cakes. I knew they had to do my wedding cake. When we tasted cakes we tried the standard cakes with buttercream frosting, which were good, but the owner, Tom Lally, insisted we try the mousse cakes, and he brought us a few pieces to try. Wow, they were amazing! We had a hard time picking a flavor, but eventually went with the "black and white," which had layers of chocolate and white chocolate mousse and sponge. I was worried the mousse wouldn't hold up for a summer wedding, but Tom assured me it would, and he was right. They also worked with me to create a custom design that mimicked the lace pattern on my dress. The cake came out beautiful and everyone thought it was delicious. I can't wait to eat the top layer on our anniversary next year!I've been going to Alexandria Pastry Shop since I was a kid, and they have the most delicious pastries and cakes.

Best Wedding Cake Company
Tom and the team at Alexandria Pastry were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were super friendly when we first met them for our cake tasting, and made it clear that they were willing to do whatever we needed to make our day special. Not only did they make one of the most delicious wedding cakes I've ever tasted, they also helped us with mini desserts for the dessert buffet we wanted at our wedding. Both the pastries they made and the cake were huge hits, and we would highly recommend them for all your baking needs!Tom and the team at Alexandria Pastry were an absolute pleasure to work with.

I went to Alexandria Pastry shop for my wedding cake. I had to go in for several appointments to make sure my cakes would be perfect and there was someone there always ready to help me. My wedding cake was perfect. The sugar flowers were arranged beautifully on the cake and though I did not get to taste my wedding cake, due to too much dancing, I was told by guests that it was delicious. I highly recommend Alexandria Pastry Shop. They are a pleasure to work with.I went to Alexandria Pastry shop for my wedding cake.

We used Alexandria Pastry Shop for our wedding cake, which took place on 7/14/18 in Arlington, VA. Our consultant Jessica was great to work with and worked with us to achieve our vision for the cake. We submitted a custom picture to APS and they were able to replicate the cake exactly how we envisioned! The cake was delivered on time the day of the wedding and the cake topper was placed on top without issue. Above all, the cake was extremely delicious and you could tell it was freshly baked! I would not hesitate to recommend their wedding cake services!We used Alexandria Pastry Shop for our wedding cake, which took place on 7/14/18 in Arlington, VA.

We had a wonderful experience with Alexandria Pastry Shop. It's a small, family-owned business and they really pay attention to detail. We worked with Jessica, and she could not have been more responsive and helpful. She helped us achieve the effect we wanted while still staying within our budget. At many weddings I've attended in the past, the cake is pretty but not all that flavorful. Our cake was both gorgeous AND delicious!We had a wonderful experience with Alexandria Pastry Shop.

Their customer service was excellent from the day we did cake tasting until the delivery of our wedding cake. We had 3 different of their specialty flavors (passion fruit, mango guava) for each tier of our cake. It was delicious.

LOVED our wedding cake and LOVED the experience my husband and I had at Alexandria Pastry Shop. They were very accommodating with our cake flavors and suggested a flavor that not only we loved but our guests loved as well. It was a quality, delicious cake. The design was exactly what I asked for and even helped me save money by giving me some ideas. They were organized, knew what to do, and were extremely helpful! Highly recommend them!LOVED our wedding cake and LOVED the experience my husband and I had at Alexandria Pastry Shop.

Alexandria Pastry is always one of our favorites, so when we were planning our small wedding the choice was easy. We actually picked an assortment of pastries, truffles and eclairs for our wedding, but I know that their cakes are also amazing! It is our go to bakery for birthdays, guests in town, and amazing treats on special mornings. I am also a photographer, and have seen Alexandria Pastry's work at many weddings.

Our family has ordered cakes from Alexandria Pastry Shop for years! For birthdays, baptisms, pretty much any event you can think of. For me, it was a no brainer- I was definitely ordering our wedding cake here. There are plenty of decorations to choose from, plenty of flavors and my favorite part- not just those standard bready and crumbly cake options. You have tons of mousse options and special flavors that will wow your guests. The shop was easy to work with the owner Tom was so pleasant during our consultation. Just go out there and try some of their cakes- you will order on the spot! I highly recommend the black and white chocolate mousse and the passion fruit with apricot. You are not limited to just one flavor for your cake.Our family has ordered cakes from Alexandria Pastry Shop for years! For birthdays, baptisms, pretty much any event you can think of.

Wedding cakes are typically outrageously priced and borderline inedible, but our cake from Alexandria Pastry Shop was reasonably priced and exceptionally good (even better than we remembered from the tasting). They were happy to work with us to make exactly what we wanted (three layers, each of a different cake type), delivered it precisely on time, and the cake was a hit with our guests. Highly recommend giving them a try during your cake search.Wedding cakes are typically outrageously priced and borderline inedible, but our cake from Alexandria Pastry Shop was reasonably priced and exceptionally good (even better than we remembered from the tasting).
