We were married at a winery in Northern Virginia in May 2016. Lora at Gateau made two cakes for us - a four tier wedding cake and a single tier grooms cake. This review is for both cakes. Overall we give Lora five stars and would definitely use her again. However, we wanted to address the different aspects that go into this review. - Cake Taste and Quality (Five Stars) - We tried many different wedding cakes and Loras cakes are the best. For the wedding cake we had three flavors - voodoo, chocolate, and carrot - and all three were amazing. All of the layers were so moist and flavorful! Many of our guests told us that this was the best wedding cake they have ever tasted. We had some cake leftover and the cake tasted great even a week after the wedding. Lora simply makes the most delicious cakes you have ever tasted; - Customer Service, Setup and Delivery (Five Stars) - Lora has amazing customer service. She checked in with us and was highly responsive to any emails. She delivered and set up the cakes exactly when she said that she would. Everything was timely and professional and she took care of everything; - Design of the Grooms Cake (Five Stars) - The design of the grooms cake was amazing! It is exactly what my now husband wanted. The cake was a home plate with a Washington Nationals cap and ball on top. The hat was made of sugar and it looked like it had just come off of a players head. My nine-year-old nephew could not believe it was not a real cap and ball. The level of detail was amazing; - Fondant on the Wedding Cake (Four Stars) - Since my wedding cake was four tier, fondant is a necessary and important aspect of the cakes design. We tried many types of fondants and Loras fondant is one of the best. I believe that she imports it from Europe. We tried it before the wedding and thought it was pretty good. However, its still fondant and Im not sure that any of our guests ate much of it but that was the only thing left on their plates; - Wedding Cake Design (Three Stars) - I had pictures of a very intricate design with bright colors and a tight paisley pattern that cuts across the four tiers. When we met with Lora, she indicated that she had never done this design before but she would attempt to replicate it. The cake we received was very pretty with paisley and bright colors. However, the paisley pattern was a bit more whimsical than I had imagined. The pattern was not as tightly followed as I thought it might be. However, I want to emphasize that the design template was extremely difficult and I was not displeased with the cake we received. No one but me and my husband thought that the design was anything but perfect. Overall, Lora is an excellent choice to do any wedding cake. We give her five stars and would recommend her to anyone!

If youre like me, you would be looking for a cake that doesnt taste like most wedding cakes. Wedding cakes have always been my least favorite part of weddings, because of the amount of preservatives packed in there. Not so with Gateau Distinctive cakes! Prepare to get your taste buds blown away! My wedding guests described it as if their grandmother had just baked this perfection that afternoon. The frosting was light and airy. Her filling was perfection! AND, I had a gluten free vegan request because many of my guests had either or both of those dietary constraints. It was soo good that we had no leftovers! You could not even tell it was gluten AND vegan. Dont spend hundreds or even into the thousands for a subpar cake. Her prices are right. The taste was perfect, and customer service was amazing! (she let me even invent a flavor...)

Gateau is amazing! Lora was so easy to work with, from the initial consult to the delivery of the cake. After our tasting, I couldnt wait for our wedding so I could have another bite of cake - and when I had my first bite the day of the wedding I wasnt disappointed. It was just as good as I remembered. Even our guests kept telling me that it was the best cake they ever had. Lora was also the only cake vendor I talked to as I knew she was the perfect choice. Our cake was beautiful and oh so delicious.

Met the baker behind the magic today at a bridal expo. I had to make it a point to jump on here and leave a review. I mean it when I say you can taste the quality, natural ingredients she uses. I tried four types of cake (I know, I know, Im weak around cake!) and they were all unbelievable. Also, what a nice person! Sweet person, exceptionally beautiful cakes. Bravo, Gateau!

Gateau is an excellent bakery! Their cake is to die for! They have amazing options and everything they make tastes delicious and looks beautiful! All of my guests loved the cake and my father went home with three slices to take home. Thank you gateau!

Ordered an 8 inch bakery cake for a small family birthday party. The cake was excellent. My 10 year old nephew rated it 5/5 and even my mother, who is hard to impress with food, thought it was good.
