"My mother's 85th birthday party was a wonderful evening, made even more so by your wonderful devil's food and mocha buttercream birthday cake. It looked elegant and tasted even better. Everyone of our 25+ guests enjoyed it -- especially the birthday girl. (She's still jealously guarding and enjoying the leftovers). One of our guests, the very French sister of an importer / distributor of gourmet baking supplies from Europe, said it was the best cake she has tasted from any baker in America in many, many years. She begged for your name, which I gladly supplied. Chris, many, many thanks for making an important evening for my mother and our family so enjoyable."

"The Louis Vuitton purse you made for my daughter's 20th birthday was truly a work of art. The red velvet cake on the inside was sinfully delicious. You're a consummate professional and the cakes you create make events more special."

“You did an amazing job on Zara's first birthday cake! Everyone was asking about it and Zara herself loved it. It was beautiful AND delicious! It was wonderful doing business with you and I look forward to working with you in the future. Thank you so much for all of your hard work!”

“I highly recommend Chris if you are in the market for a custom cake for any occasion. I had a custom birthday cake done by Chris (an Absolut Vodka bottle cake) and it by far exceeded my expectations, as well as served as the conversation piece at my party. Chris Furin is DC’s answer to Cake Boss and DC’s best kept secret.”

“Chris created a wonderful birthday cake for my husband’s surprise party, and were the most responsive of the four DC/Silver Spring bakeries. Because I was in ‘the other Washington’ during party prep time, I faxed a sketch with details of the artwork I wanted about two weeks before the party. The price was excellent for the high quality and detail of the icing artwork.”

“I ordered a cake for a birthday party - the theme was “My Super Sweet 25.” I wanted that written on the cake in graffiti letters. No one at Safeway or Giant understood my bizarre request, so I had to bring in the big guns for some “Ace of Cakes”-style baking. This is the conversation I had with the person on the phone:
Me: And I would like this all to be graffiti letters and colorful.
Chris: OK, one of our bakers is in a gang, I’ll have him work on it.
Pretty sure he was joking, but the cake turned out beautifully, and it was so tasty! Chocolate fudge, yum. A big hit at the party!”

“My favorites are the coconut cupcake (yellow cake with whipped vanilla frosting topped with toasted coconut) and the newly introduced red velvet cupcake (red velvet cake with creamy, tart cream cheese frosting). Their strawberry shortcake and chocolate cupcakes are great, too! I come here so often that I will surely have diabetes by month’s end. The prices are the same as Georgetown Cupcake, but the cakes themselves much, much bigger.”

“I've been at events that had custom-ordered cakes from Chris and they were amazing! Both were so yummy that I had to try their cupcakes — so far I've only tried their red velvet and it was fantastic. Also, their cupcakes cost around the same as all these designer cupcakes, but are twice the size.”
