  So good our wedding guests didn't know it was gluten-free!

  We ordered our wedding cake through The Happy Tart bakery, and it was absolutely stunning! It looked gorgeous, well beyond our hopes and dreams. And it was delicious, too! Our guests couldn't tell that it was gluten-free; many of them said it was the best wedding cake they'd ever had. There wasn't a single piece left at the end of the night! If you're looking for a beautiful, delicious gluten-free wedding cake, work with The Happy Tart -- we cannot recommend them highly enough!

  Beautiful and delicious! You would never know it is gluten-free!

  The cake was absolutely delicious. No one would have realized it was gluten-free. It was decorated with beautiful edible flowers. The delivery was perfect. I really appreciated the tasting we scheduled in advance, but that did make it difficult to narrow down the choices because we loved every single option! In the end, we chose different flavors for the layers: raspberry almond and lemon. They added the monogram we sent. I am so happy with the entire experience working with this vender as well as the end result. So many "Wow, this cake is amazing!" comments from guests.

  Gluten Free Goodies!

  We were so pleased with the desserts and cake we got from The Happy Tart! My mother-in-law is completely gluten intolerant and several other members of my husbands family are gluten sensitive so gluten free desserts were a must! I also don't like cake, so one large cake was not going to do. Instead we had one small cake in my husband's favorite flavors that functioned as our wedding cake but was really his cake and then the folks at the Happy Tart were able to make fruit tarts and mousse shots for the rest of the guests. I love fruit tarts and the ones they made were amazing! It was exactly what I wanted in desserts for my wedding, for the budget I had and COMPLETLY GLUTEN FREE. My guests raved about the desserts. Except for our immediately family, no one knew everything was gluten free and when I told some people that later they were astonished! Emma was amazing to work with, there was a small snafu in the scheduling and she was working on multiple weddings the same day as mine and she still made it work. I highly recommend The Happy Tart for a sweet gluten free dessert for your celebration!

  Our guests absolutely loved our gluten-free cake!

  While I'm gluten-free, my husband and most of our guests are not, so we opted for a (regular, gluten-filled) dessert bar through our venue/caterer and a ceremonial cake from The Happy Tart. I love the cafe in Falls Church, but asked around for recommendations for a gluten-free wedding cake – and SO many people recommended The Happy Tart. Because they weren't doing in-person cake tastings, we picked up a cupcake sampler and took it home for a virtual tasting with Emma over Zoom. They were delicious! We couldn't decide on a single flavor for our two-tier cake, so Emma did one of each: vanilla salted caramel and almond-raspberry. We provided a few inspirational photos via email and Emma and her team took it from there. The Happy Tart delivered the cake to our venue in Washington, D.C., and Emma decorated it with flowers that our florist provided. It was gorgeous! While we never intended to serve the cake to everyone (selfishly I wanted to eat it with my three Celiac friends), our venue/caterer ended up slicing it anyway and plating it with the dessert bar. I was so bummed to not get any cake beyond a bite during our cake cutting, but our guests raved about it! They had no idea it was gluten-free, and I think we managed to convince a handful of gluten-eating friends and family to start eating GF pastries! I can't say enough amazing things about The Happy Tart.

  Everything we wanted in our wedding cake

  Happy Tart made us our gorgeous AND delicious wedding cake--two things I didn't think would be possible with our budget. (And it was gluten free!) I was amazed at how quickly Emma nailed a cake style that fit our theme to a T, and how tasty every sample of wedding cake was -- it was hard to pick just one flavor. We loved working with Happy Tart.

  Amazing Gluten Free Cake!

  From the time we got engaged, we knew we'd be calling Happy Tart to discuss our wedding cake. We were able to mix and match flavors from our tasting (using cupcakes), and Emma did a small cake for us and we ordered an assortment of cupcakes as well. The result was that everyone got cake they absolutely loved. Our caterer packaged the leftover cupcakes in takeout containers, so people were able to grab them as they left also! The cake was delicious (we did lemon cake, raspberry filling, and lemon buttercream), and absolutely gorgeous. The cupcakes were to die for (salted caramel, banana nutella, almond raspberry, and triple lemon), and everyone is still talking about them! We've been Happy Tart customers for a long time, and we'll be customers for life!

  Happy Tart made us the most delicious wedding cakes!

  We used to spend every Saturday morning at Happy Tart when their Del Rey location was still open, so when we got engaged we knew that’s where we’d get our wedding cake. Emma, the owner, sat with us for our initial tasting, and she answered our many questions about flavor combinations and cake styles that would fit within our budget. On our wedding day, I happened to arrive at the venue with my bridesmaids while Emma was setting up the cake. She gave me a big hug and asked what I thought, and I was blown away by how perfectly she captured our vision for the cake design. She also said the topper wasn’t on yet because she didn’t want to get frosting on the bottom of it (which is great because it’s a keepsake music box). As if her care and attention weren’t enough, the kitchen and display cakes she made were delicious and we got rave reviews from our guests. We’re so glad we saved the top layer for our anniversary! If you want a delicious cake and warm, caring service, we highly recommend Happy Tart.

  Beautiful and Tasty Cake

  Emma did a wonderful job with our wedding cake! We had a tasty tiered cake with lemon and chocolate flavors with a beautiful slate-blue ombre frosting job. Our guests were shocked to hear the cake was gluten-free, and since choosing Happy Tart for my wedding cake over a year ago, I've become a dedicated Happy Tart aficionado. Their eclairs are amazing, just FYI. Everything went great with the cake and design and I couldn't be happier!

  The Happy Tart was beyond amazing. They were very accomidating and made the whole process very easy. The cake looked and tasted fabulous. This was by far the best cake I've ever had.

  Best GF cake of all time

  We got a small wedding cake from the Happy Tart -- just something for my husband and I to cut and eat -- and it surpassed all expectations! Was delicious, beautifully decorated, and affordable! Would highly recommend.

  We got a gluten free cake and gluten free/dairy free cupcakes for our wedding. Happy Tart was so easy to work with. We reached out a few weeks before the wedding to see if they could deliver the cake and cupcakes to our venue (about 2 hours away) and there were no issues. The cake was SO YUMMY and BEAUTIFUL!

  We had such a wonderful experience working with Emma and the Happy Tart team on our wedding cake! I have celiac so I needed a gluten-free cake for our wedding and decided to check out Happy Tart at the recommendation of a friend who had her wedding cake done by Happy Tart. Shortly into our tasting, I knew Happy Tart was who I wanted to work with! Emma was incredibly friendly and professional and greeted us warmly upon our arrival. She took the time to sit with us during and explain each of the different flavor options she had us try and talked about the different flours used, how different icings could withstand heat (we had a summer wedding), etc. Everything we tasted was incredibly delicious (as our wedding guests later attested to and agreed!) and the whole tasting experience really stood out compared to some of the other places we visited (only plain chocolate or plain vanilla gluten-free options; no one really available during tasting to answer any follow-up questions). Emma was also a pleasure to work with when we started to design our wedding cake and it turned out exactly as my husband and I had imagined! We'd highly recommend working with Happy Tart for your wedding cake!

  Try the magic that is this incredible cake!! Everyone LOVED our wedding cake, even guests who aren't huge fans of sweets. We had a perfect wedding day, and everyone had something wonderful to say about the cake. We had to stay late just to squirrel away the last few pieces. Absolutely amazing!

  Thank you so much! Not only did the cake look perfect but it tasted amazing! People kept asking the groom how I could eat cake - they had no idea it was dairy and gluten free based on how it tasted. Thank you so much for making our day extra special!!
  
  We look forward to finding excuses to eat the yummy leftovers and working with you again!!

  My husband and I absolutely loved working with Happy Tart. From the tasting to the final product, Emma was fantastic to work with the final result was AMAZING! I had an idea of what I wanted for the wedding cake, chatted about it with Emma, and she made it come to life in the most perfect way possible. The cake was absolutely delicious and our guests were wowed with how beautiful it was. I would whole-heartedly recommend Happy Tart to anyone who is interested in a great cake at a great price.

  Our 3 tier cake was absolutely delicious. I had several guests comment that they felt bad I couldnt eat my own wedding cake since it must be a gluten cake. I let them know it was indeed a fabulous gluten free cake and I had enjoyed every bit.

  I have celiac disease and was so nervous about getting a gluten free wedding cake. We went with Happy Tart and no one even could tell it was GF! The cake was beautiful, looked exactly as we had discussed with Emma, and it was truly a centerpiece of our wedding.

  We hired The Happy Tart pretty early on in our wedding planning. The tasting completely won us over.
  Day of the wedding, our cakes (wedding and grooms cake) were delivered on time and surpassed our expectations. They looked amazing and the cakes were DELICIOUS!

  I have celiac disease and have frequented the Happy Tart since they opened their first location in Del Ray, so when we started planning our wedding I knew immediately that I would want them to do our dessert. We had them do a dessert table with a small two-tiered cutting cake and a variety of other desserts (cupcakes, mini apple pies, cream puffs, chocolate mousse). Emma was very helpful in providing suggestions on the number of desserts and the amount of variety to have for the table, and she was open to making just about anything we could have dreamed up. On the wedding day, Emma arrived on time and set everything up. The display was beautiful, and everything was so delicious!! The dessert table was a big hit with our guests - most people didn't even know that everything was gluten-free, and they loved having a variety of things to choose from.

  I have celiac disease and have frequented the Happy Tart since they opened their first location in Del Ray, so when we started planning our wedding I knew immediately that I would want them to do our dessert.

  It's gluten-free and absolutely delicious and I mean that. It was flavorful and moist, just how any dessert should be.
  
  I got married on Saturday, 9/3 (Labor Day Weekend) and I had Happy Tart create a cake and all the desserts for my dessert table. It was fabulous. Everyone loved it, even the ones who were skeptical about gluten-free desserts. With my sweet tooth, the cake and desserts were very important to me and Happy Tart didn't let me down.
  
  Emma was very accommodating and creative when it came to my cake and desserts so if I had to do it all again, I would in a second.

  I give the Happy Tart an A+ rating because my experience with Emma Cech and her service in providing the cake for my wedding was absolutely top notch in every way! When my fiancée and I initially met with Emma to discuss the cake, Emma was extremely helpful in showing us pictures and giving us suggestions as to what could be done. The cake samples that we ate were all delicious and the time of planning with Emma was non-stressful and just fun! The day of the wedding I was delighted with the beauty of the cake, adorned with its delicate pink icing, intricate white lace border, and fresh roses which cascaded down the sides of each of the three tiers! The cake was truly the highlight of my desserts only wedding!

  We had a small cake made for our wedding a few weeks ago and could not be more pleased with how it turned out. Emma was able to purchase fresh flowers from the farmers market to decorate with, which were just stunning. Most importantly, the cake was delicious and all our guests enjoyed it!

  Emma Cech, of The Happy Tart in Falls Church, has created a remarkable French Patisserie that happens to be completely gluten free. Being Celiac, we had used The Happy Tart before, but the wedding cake tasting exceeded our expectations by far. There is a cute tasting room, where Emma paraded small samples of decorated cakes with all of the various flavors that were so great because of her use of real ingredients, like buttercream frosting and melted chocolate. Just tell Emma what your vision is and she will over deliver! She impressed the staff of the Comus Inn, our venue, with the very professional delivery of the cake and they made sure that we heard about it. The cake was gluten free, as is everything in The Happy Tart, and was decorated with remarkably life-like sugar flowers. No one could believe that the cake could be so good and be gluten free, but it was.
