    Delicious!

    Best Wedding Cake ever! Received many compliments. They were so easy to work with and were very affordable! I liked everything I tried in my tasting I ordered the same thing for my cake. I ordered a 3 tier cake for 75 people and a sheet cake for the rest. I was able to change my order to a smaller sheet cake when my guest count ended up being lower then expected.

    Delicious! They had a bunch of different flavors to choose from. I am not a huge fondant fan so we went with buttercream. Our bottom layer was yellow cake with vanilla syrup and toasted almond buttercream. Our top layer with chocolate cake with amaretto syrup and white chocolate buttercream. Loved it. We shall see how the top layer saves for the one year. If not, I'll go back to the store to get a small cake! Love that bakery!!

    Pastries by Randolph provided the Cake for our wedding this last May in Washington DC. Their pricing was extremely reasonable and Ricky walked us through the whole process of selecting the size, flavors (which there are MANY of), and decoration. They delivered it on time, and it was DELICIOUS and looked beautiful! We highly recommend them!

    If you need a wedding cake or pastries look no further. Pastries by Randolph is a high-end pastry shop and the wedding cakes are made directly by the owner. We ordered wedding cake and pastries and all were delicious and the wedding cake looked beautiful. More than one person told us that it was the best wedding cake they had ever tasted. We also received excellent customer service throughout. Thank you again Deborah!

    We have been customers of Randolph's for years and they are one of our go-tos for birthday cakes, pastries etc. They were very easy to work with on our wedding cake, we simply went in and selected the flavours of cake, jam, frosting etc that we wanted, and arranged it all on the spot. They were very helpful in advising on our options and we ended up getting a 2 tier cake for cutting, and a separate cake for pre-plating - this worked really well. Cake was delivered on time and it was really delicious! Exactly what we hoped for and very reasonably priced. Overall the experience was easy and straightforward and I would absolutely recommend them.

    We had a marble mousse cake with white chocolate shavings from Randolphs' as our wedding cake. It was super quick and easy to work with the manager and order a cake from her. They delivered it on time, and it was delicious like always. They are awesome.

    Absolutely the best wedding cake out there. We had guests who tried the cake before the wedding and said they were excited about the wedding because of the cake. The wedding coordinator said that this was one of the first weddings she had done where there was no cake left over because people actually ate the cake. We ordered a vanilla cake with strawberry mousse and vanilla buttercream icing. It was light, refreshing, and did not have that overly sweet, refined-sugar taste. Absolutely perfect (and incredibly affordable!!!).

    The Cakes we SO DELICIOUS!! We ordered two cakes, a wedding cake that was white with raspberry buttercream, lemon syrup, and a raspberry jam and a black and white mousse cake. Both were really amazingly tasty (the few leftovers we have are not lasting long). Zak and Debbie were so helpful to make sure the design was exactly what we wanted and were really accessible and easy to work with. Plus the pricing was really great. The rest of their pastries and baked goods are great too, so going in to see them for a tasting or consultation was never an issue since we always left with some tasty treats too. Overall, couldn't be happier with what we got from Pastries by Randolph.

    I had an exact vision of what I wanted my wedding cake to look like, and Pastries by Randolph recreated it right down to the blush ribbon and the orchid placement. Not to mention that the lemon buttercream cake was delicious! I hadn't actually gone to the cake tasting (my in-laws did) so I was pleasantly surprised when I had my first bite during the cake cutting! I'm still upset that I'd only had one bite before my slice disappeared...

    Our guests absolutely loved our cake! I worked directly with Lito and Deborah. They were extremely helpful throughout the process. I was able to contact them through phone and emails. We were also able to get a custom design for our cake! It turned out even better than my hubby and I had imagined it would be.

    Pastries by Randolph, in general, is one of our favorite bakeries. We would also recommend them for any kind of cake, in general ;)
    Yum!


    pricing will vary, of course, depending on your design, # of tiers, flavors....etc.

    We ordered their wedding cake #510 (Marble Mousse Cake) ... and all I can tell you is that I've never tasted a better cake at any wedding, anywhere. Our guests even wrote about how heavenly it was in the guest book. We order it each year on our anniversary and are so happy the bakery has been around for all 13 of our anniversaries! (Married in 2000 ... the dates on this site didn't go back that far)

    Two of my cousins got their wedding cakes from here and so did I..it's kind of a family tradition now! Their cake tasting appt is super easy. You just call in to say when you want to come in, what flavors you want and they have a box waiting for you. You can eat it there or take it home with you. They give you really generous portions to taste at no cost. My wedding cake turned out beautifully and my guests absolutely loved it!! Their prices are competitive and we were able to save a lot of money by using a sheet cake for the rest of the servings.

    They were on time and the cake was beautiful. I selected a marble mousse cake and my guests could not have been happier. Many of my guests admitted to me that they ate multiple pieces of cake, I'm so glad they enjoyed it as much as we did.

    My fiance and I ordered our wedding cake from Pastries by Randolph and couldn't have been happier. At the cake tasting, we were given huge portions of each flavor such that we took some of it home to have family members try out before making a final decision (which was tough- all the flavors we tasted were delicious!). In addition, there was a very helpful binder that showed all of the different cake designs divided by price range, which made it easy to find something that worked with our budget. We ended up choosing a smaller, three-layer cake and getting additional sheet cakes to cut down on costs, which they were happy to do. After placing our order, the folks at Pastries by Randolph were great about communicating with our venue, confirming with us when we called to check in, etc. On the big day, Pastries by Randolph delivered the cake exactly as promised- it looked beautiful, tasted great, and was exactly what we wanted. :)

    Pastries by Randolph was great to work with. We got a yummy chocolate cake with raspberry filling for our wedding. Guests loved it, and it looked beautiful. The bakery was happy to accommodate our preference for a small cake for cutting and larger sheet cakes to feed guests. (We were turned off by another bakery that really looked down at our preference to do this in order to save some money.) Pastries by Randolph had a wide range of styles to choose from and seemed willing to accommodate any preferences when possible. They had something for everyone from very simple to more ornate custom creations. The delivery person was right on time the day of the wedding, and she was able to add the cake topper I gave her the day of the wedding without a problem. I would recommend them to any bride without hesitation.

    We were extremely happy with our wedding cake vendor. Not only was it beautiful, it was moist and flavorful. People are still talking about how delicious it was. We picked a buttercream frosting and used a raspberry buttercream and lemon curd filling on one layer with chocolate buttercream on another. The scrolling design and buttercream flowers were beautiful and professionally done. The staff was very responsive to some changes that we made. They delivered the cake on time and in great condition in spite of the massive storm and power outages the night before.

    My cake was exactly as I had requested and tasted even better than I recall the samples tasting. The cake was delivered on time and in perfect condition even though my wedding was in Rockville, Maryland. I have already recommended them to others and I continue to frequent this vendor for other sweet treats.

    We had a great time tasting all the wedding cakes around town but my daughter decided on Randolph’s based on the tastings, their stellar reputation and their “out of this world” chocolate mousse cake for the Groom’s Cake. The cake was a classic butter cream with smooth icing and Swiss dots around the bases as my daughter requested, a beautiful classic. They used the topper from her parent’s wedding the same one her grandparents used. It could not have looked or tasted better.

    The cake was beautiful, delicious, reasonably priced and delivered on time. It was exactly what we wanted (they even managed to make the buttercream icing...since I'm not a big fondant fan...almost look as smooth as fondant on the outside). We had them make a wedding-cake version of their lemon buttercream. Once we tasted it we kept going back to pick up the regular smaller cakes for various events, and I'm sure we'll keep going back to re-try our wedding cake. The guests raved and the venue staff was thrilled when we took the leftover we want and they were still left with a ton (the portions are generous anyway, and our guest list was trimmed significantly by the incoming hurricane) to eat themselves!

    Pastries by Randolph did the cake for our wedding and it was absolutely delicious and beautiful! Also, they were very affordable compared to some of the bakeries we looked at. We would highly recommend Pastries by Randolph for anyone looking for a wedding cake! (We're already looking forward to that top tier!)

    I have lived in Arlington for years and always knew how great Pastries By Randolph were. When it came time to get a wedding cake from them, I knew exactly where I would be going. They work with all kinds of budgets and help to cut costs where they can. They were able to maintain the theme of the wedding (peacock feathers) and it was executed beautifully. They arrived at the venue on time and set everything up excellently. They are professional and personable and answered all my questions in a timely manner.
