My wife ordered the bourbon bacon cake for my birthday back in October and it was literally the best cake I have ever had.
With my wife’s birthday approaching, she noticed the cookies-n-cream cake and decided that’s what she wanted. I placed the order and everything was super easy and was ready on-time. Most importantly, the cake was a HUGE hit!
Dunn From Scratch is an 11/10!

Helen’s cake was excellent! We ordered a three-tier wedding cake. One tier was a blackberry lavender cake with blackberry filling and lemon buttercream. The other two tiers were lemon cake with mascarpone and strawberry filling. It tasted incredible and when my husband and I walked over and saw it for the first time during the reception, we got the biggest smiles. It was so beautiful and she set the cake up exactly how we imagined.Helen was communicative and great to work with throughout the process. We would highly recommend Dunn From Scratch Bakery!

If you are thinking about a dessert bar for your wedding, look no further!! Helen offers a variety of desserts and flavors for everyone to enjoy! Our guests could not get enough of the desserts. Helen is a sweetheart, so easy to talk to, work with, and she’s an outstanding baker! The inquiry and booking process was a breeze. I had no doubts that everything would be perfect. And our personal spice wedding cake with maple icing was superb!!! Thank you so much Helen for all of your hard work. The dessert bar display came out even more beautiful than I could have imagined.

We just wanted to reach out and send our biggest thank you for a delicious wedding cake. We received a lot of compliments from guests enjoying the cake as well. You did an incredible job decorating the cake with our wedding florals and cake topper. We are so grateful for your time creating the perfect wedding cake for us. It has been a pleasure working with you from the beginning during the cake tasting, through booking, and delivering/setting up at our venue. Helen is incredibly kind, detail oriented, professional, and easy to communicate with!

Highly recommend Dunn from Scratch! Helen was easy to communicate with - setting up our wedding cake tasting pick up and the booking process was a breeze. Our tasting was quite substantial compared to other bakeries we tried - Helen provided 3 miniature cakes of our selected flavors! Each one was SO good, it was hard to pick just one. The cake and desserts were delivered on time on our wedding day and the cake was absolutely stunning. She nailed my vision! Plus, our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious the cake and all the desserts were!

I would recommend Dunn From Scratch a million times! Not only is Helen so kind and easy to work with, she is an especially talented baker! She did my wedding cake and mini cupcakes and we got so many compliments. Her flavors are out of this world! Her presentation is impeccable. And her prices are very fair, especially for Northern Virginia. I will be looking for every opportunity to order more treats from Dunn From Scratch again!
I am so glad we got a referral to try Dunn From Scratch!! Our wedding cake was absolutely gorgeous and delicious!! The amount and quality we got for the price of the cake was astounding. I highly recommend Helen for your wedding cake!!

Celebrating our anniversary with a small representation of our wedding cake. Still the best cake I’ve ever had in my life. Blackberry lavender with lemon butter cream. Special kind of incredible.

Loved our entire experience with Dunn from Scratch!! Helen is a GEM and her cake/cupcakes are all delicious! We had the best time from tasting to day of the wedding seeing the cake and cupcakes! She needed to make a change in design and was super communicative and offered up amazing suggestions and great quality product from start to finish. Thank you Helen we loved our wedding cake and cupcakes!!

We hired Dunn from Scratch to make our wedding cake and are SO pleased with the results! When we sampled the following cakes: Chocolate cake with German chocolate buttercream, Lemon cake with mascarpone and strawberry fruit filling, Cardamom cake with espresso buttercream, Spice cake with cream cheese buttercream, and Mocha cake with espresso buttercream. It was very hard to pick which flavor we liked best because they all were so delicious and the cake was so moist and well-baked. We ultimately chose to have a 3-tiered cake, one flavor per tier! We had the Mocha cake with espresso buttercream, the Lemon cake with mascarpone and strawberry filling, and the spice cake with cream cheese buttercream. Helen listened to our wants and delivered perfectly! We wanted a very simple exterior so that the florals we added on would pop more. Not only did the cake perfectly match what we wanted it to LOOK like, but omg did it taste amazing on our wedding day! Everyone gave us compliments on the different flavors and we are so happy that we picked Dunn From Scratch.
