    Best cupcakes ever

    We picked Buzz Bakery because they were the site of our first date, but also because of their amazingly delicious cupcakes, and because the price point was perfect for our 60 person wedding. We ordered 90 cupcakes, and only had about a dozen leftover at the end of the night. They were a huge hit!

    A Cake We Won’t Forget

    When we first tasted the samples for Buzz’s cakes, we knew we had to have them at our reception. In fact, we were unable to pick a favorite and served two separate flavor combinations (lemon cake with blackberry frosting, vanilla cake with caramel frosting). The team at Buzz kept excellent communication throughout the process and even incorporated our color palette into their decoration. When asked if we wanted to save the top of our cake, we said we didn’t need to because we will be going back to Buzz a lot sooner than our first anniversary.

    Aamzing cake and cupcakes

    We had a dessert bar at my daughters wedding and had the Gluten Free wedding cake ( small for bride and groom) and cupcakes made by Buzz Bakery. Oh my gosh were they delicious. They delivered to our venue for a small fee and it was worth everything.

    When we first started looking for cakes I had no idea how much they would cost and had budgeted $1,000 for our wedding of 85 guests. So you can imagine how excited I was when Buzz offered cakes for less than $400! Not only were they extremely affordable, they had the most amazing flavors! It was quite a difficult decision as their lemon, carrot cake, and devils food were all to DIE for! We ended up choosing their Cookie Monster - a chocolate chip cake with a layer of cookie dough and an oreo buttercream - for one flavor and a devils food with a salted caramel buttercream as the other! Both flavors were extremely fresh and moist and didn't have that defrosted taste that wedding cakes usually have. The cake was gorgeous and designed beautifully and we could not have been more pleased. I would recommend Buzz to any bride/groom and also to anyone looking for a birthday cake or just somewhere to grab a cupcake!

    We purchased our mini wedding cupcakes in three flavors: carrot cake with cream cheese icing, devil's food with Italian buttercream dyed lavender, and coconut chiffon with dark chocolate icing. They were all absolutely amazing! Not only were they all tasty, but also the manager worked with us to choose what we wanted, make changes, and pick them up early in the morning for our luncheon. It was a great experience!

    We have been Buzz Bakery customers for years and there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted them to do my wedding cake. We set up a tasting and they offered us a wide selection and offered a lot of options for customization. Their prices were better than another bakery we had priced too which was a nice surprise! We initially worked with Katie, who was wonderful and very responsive and helpful. Katie went on maternity leave and was sure to introduce us via email to the manager who would be taking her place. Excellent service! We look forward to seeing our cake.

    Buzz Bakery provided our wedding cake. They were so easy to work with. I changed my mi nd several times as to what I wanted for the cake design and flavors. Katie was so accommodating and made helpful suggestions throughout the process. Katie was very responsive and the entire process was worry free.

    We ended up going with a lemon cake with raspberry filling for the display cake, and a cookie monster sheet cake. Both were delicious and our guests commented on the cake throughout the evening. I highly recommend choosing Buzz for your wedding day!

    Buzz Bakery provided both wedding cake and cupcakes for our recent wedding reception. We had a tasting to sample different tastes and selected a broad set of cupcakes - I recommend the Mexican Chocolate cupcake while my daughter liked the Red Velvet ones. They were a great value and easy to work with. The only issue we had was that they had the wrong date in the original contract. They had it a week earlier and actually delivered it a week early before the reception. They owned their mistake and delivered a fresh cake and set of cupcakes the following week. I considered them very professional that way and glad to see them be responsive to their mistake. I would recommend them and just make sure all dates are correct.

    They provided a delicious gluten free 6 inch wedding cake for the top of the cupcake tree. It was simply decorated which is what we wanted for we added fresh flowers to it. It was very reasonably priced and I would recommend this as an alternative to expensive wedding cakes.

    OMG Buzz Bakery did a simply FABULOUS job with our wedding sweets n' treats. The tasting was so so much fun- even my hubbie loved it and he rarely eats dessert. They listen to your ideas, and work with you to execute your vision in taste, color, and style. Remember, they are the experts! We were having an outdoor, summer wedding and they made recommendations to us on how to select desserts and ingredients that can stand up to humidity. Thank goodness we took their advise, because humidity was the least of our problems when it started to rain! Despite the heat and everything, the dessert table was a fabulous centerpiece for our event and the guests went wild- everything disappeared very quickly. Remember to ask a friend/family member to work with your caterers to pack you up a 'doggie bag' because you probably won't have time to have desserts during your wedding, and missing out on these sweet treats would be a tragedy!

    What they did for us:
    -Cake / dessert tasting
    -Fabulous wedding cake
    -Grooms cake
    -Dessert table with multiple selections
    -Cake and dessert table staging/rentals

    Also, as a side note- I was very surprised that their services were as affordable as they are. They were one of the few vendors that stuck to our budget.

    Thanks Buzz Bakery!

    I absolutely loved working with Alex Mudry at Buzz. I had several "ideas" about what I wanted the cake to look like, and she was able to take my pictures and words and turn them into exactly what I didn't know I wanted. We did a simple 3 layer cake with chocolate and almond layers. She was really helpful with determining the size and shape of the cake. Everyone commented on how lovely it turned out and we were very pleased.

    Alexandra at Buzz Bakery did my wedding cake this past November. Working with her was an absolute pleasure. She created the perfect cake for our wedding and really listened to what we wanted. She was super flexible. We had to move our wedding due to my husband's visa taking longer and she adapted to the new date and was completely flexible. The cake was delivered on time, set up beautifully, and tasted great. I would highly recommend using Buzz Bakery for your wedding cake. Great value, great service, flexibility, and care towards creating the cake you want for your wedding day.

    We did an assortment of cupcakes and a gluten-free wedding cake/topper with Buzz. The whole process was seamless. They consulted on the order with us in detail, made sure we had a wide variety of options/tastes, and were very creative in making a gluten-free topper for us. We had eloped and the cake/cupcake was for a post-wedding reception so they tied in elements of our elopement cake, which was great. They also came to our venue and set everything up, refusing to take a tip for the service. Really and truly outstanding customer service and care. I would highly recommend them.

    Our cake was awesome. We got lots of compliments on it. We had pumpkin with cream cheese frosting. We ordered a small two-tiered cake for cutting and then a cutting cake to serve to the rest of our guests. There must have been some mis-communication though b/c we thought that our guests would get served vanilla and pumpkin cake but just the pumpkin cake was served.

    The cake was really delicious, moist and beautiful.

    We did the tasting at Buzz in Alexandria and tasted about 6 different cupcakes. It was super fun but they charged me for my coffee that day. If I'm going to be spending hundreds of dollars on a cake, shouldn't my coffee during my tasting, be free?

    Would totally recommend them. We didn't ask about freezing the top because we just figured we'll go back to Buzz in a year and order cupcakes from them versus trying to eat really old frozen cake.

    Buzz Bakery is FANTASTIC!!! I cannot say enough good things about them. Alexandra Mudry, the chef my husband and I worked with, was so professional and helpful, not to mention responsive. The responsiveness is huge, because as a bride it can become really stressful if your vendors do not respond to your emails/calls in a timely manner. She listened to our ideas for our cake, and had great ideas as far as flavors and design to achieve what we wanted. We even got free cupcakes any time we came in for a tasting, to make a payment, and to sign our contract. All of my guests raved about the cake and wanted to know the bakery so they could go check it out. To all the DC/Northern VA brides reading this review, Buzz Bakery should seriously be your very first (and only) stop in your search for the perfect wedding cake.

    Our wedding cake was not only beautiful, but delicious as well! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Buzz Bakery - we were able to arrange everything via email, we had a fantastic tasting and chose a custom cake that was perfect for us, and the bakery coordinated directly with the reception venue to deliver and set everything up so we didn't have to worry about a thing. Not to mention the prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality of cake you get. We ate the entire cake, it was so good!

    Buzz did our wedding cake for the big day and did a beautiful job. they were very flexible when we came in to taste test. We asked them to create a design that mirrored our invitation and they did just that. Plus, it was delicious cake!

    Buzz Bakery provided cupcakes and a ceremonial cake for us to cut. They were extremely helpful during our tasting and even sent us home with extra cupcakes! On the day of our wedding, they delivered and set-up everything perfectly and it all tasted delicious. Our guests loved the cupcakes!

    Alex was flexible with meeting us and asked all the right questions. We had a difficult time choosing a cake flavor, but since she new our favorite cupcake from Buzz, she had us agreeing that "Lose Your Marbles" was it! On the inside, the cake was delicious. On the outside, the design was simple, but elegant-- exactly what we wanted, so we could incorporate freshly cut flowers.
    Alex coordinated with our wedding venue to deliver and set up the cake. We still smile when we see the pictures and reflect on the awesomeness of the BEST wedding cake EVER!

    We were very happy with our wedding cupcakes/cake from the Buzz! We really shopped around, considering all of the big DC cupcake places, but we received nowhere close to the great customer service that we did at the Buzz. We worked with Nancy and Dawn- Nancy left the Buzz and we transitioned to Dawn mid-way through our planning process, but both women are very organized and professional so the transition was seamless. The cupcakes were delicious (we went with chocolate/vanilla combos) and they made a custom designed cake to cut that aligned with our theme. We actually came in to taste cupcakes a few times, with different wedding party members, and they were accommodating and gracious, reserving a table and providing complimentary cupcakes and drinks. The one unfortunate thing was that they didn't deliver as far as we needed, but they worked amazingly with our caterer who picked-up the cupcakes in the morning and delivered them/set them up in our space. The cake and the cupcakes were beautiful and delicious! I highly recommend the Buzz Bakery!

    My wife and I had Buzz cupcakes for our wedding reception. They were delicious and everyone loved them. I think the cupcakes are a much better choice than a wedding cake cause people actually seem to enjoy them.

    Buzz cupcakes are awesome and will make your wedding guests smile!!!

    Josh Short at Buzz Bakery created the most delicious original apple cranberry pie for our wedding in place of cake. It was a pleasure to work with Buzz bakery-the staff was attentive and responsive. I was very pleased and would highly recommend this baker...they have delicious cupcakes there as well-I have no doubt they'd be able to make a great traditional wedding cake.

    I used Buzz for my recent wedding's cupcakes (instead of a traditional layered cake) and they were delicious! Buzz was very flexible with my numbers and flavors and they were very responsive when I called and emailed them over the course of planning. Also, they were flexible with their delivery times and helped to make the process very easy!

    We ordered four flavors of cupcakes, plus a 6" cake. Everyone at Buzz was great to work with and the cake and cupcakes were amazing. All our guests raved about the red velvet, especially. Highly recommend, whether for a wedding or just a Saturday afternoon! Yum :)
