HI,
We are looking for someone to bake our two year old's cake. We are not interested in Heidleberg or Randolph's. Any other ideas out there? Thanks! |

| Well, those are the 2 really great bakeries in Arlington. What specifically are you looking for? |

| OP here. WE LOVE Heidleberg. We are there weekly but looking for more of an artistic touch. I suppose. |

| Sorry, but I really dislike Cake Love. Just not good cake IMO. I would check out the Bake Shop in Clarendon. Awesome, beautiful cake and the owner seems really nice. |

| How about Fluffy Cakes in Mclean? I haven't been but have read good things. It's only about 10 min from Heidelburg. |

| I think its Fluffy Thoughts in McLean. The cupcakes there are good! Amphora in Vienna is also good. |

| ooh, it's not Arlington, but I second the Amphora recommendation. I did the cake-tasting with a bride friend and all the options we tried were phenomenal. |

Another vote for Heidelberg. Their cakes are so good. My favorite is the yellow cake with vanilla frosting and raspberry filling. MMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMM!
Their chocolate mousse pie is amazing, too. |

| PP here - sorry, just realized that the OP doesn't want Heidelberg. |

| Try Tiffany, in Seven Corners. I made a 14 mi. trip from Fairfax just to get good pastries and a birthday cake for DH. |

| I wqas at a birthday party Sunday that had a cake from Castro's. It was the best cake I've ever eaten. I already told my husband I want one from here for my 30th. It had fruit in the middle with some sort of filling, but it was sickly sweet like most cakes. http://www.castrobakery2.com/ |

| Honestly safeway's butter cream cake with strawberrys is delicious. It's always been a huge hit with kids and adults. |
