Amphora! They are absolute artists, too! They can match and design cartoon characters or design an amazing anniversary cake! Their cremes, fillings, icings—all delicious! Specialty cakes are amazing! They get the top cake artists! They are that wonderful and over the top!

+1. If you’re willing to go to Alexandria, I love the cakes from Bittersweet.

Haven’t done conventional birthday cakes at Praline (Bethesda) or Poupon (Georgetown), but both make very good cakes (e.g. Fraisier, Opera, Bûche).

Tout de Sweet. (Black Forest with fresh raspberry is my fave).

Tried Baked & Wire one year. Loved their cupcakes but the (gigantic cupcake-shaped) birthday cake I ordered was a dud. Not sure if that format (vs layer cake) still exists, so YMMV.

That said, TdS has better cupcakes than B&W, so I’d have recommended it even if I hadn’t had the bad-giant-cupcake-birthday-cake experience.

Correct. As a fellow French person, the chef is good. Some of his individual cakes are to die for. It’s been a while since we ordered large cakes, but we were never disappointed.

I had a great birthday cake from MilkBar this year. I was surprised how good it was.

If you want fancy then Praline has excellent cakes (but they aren't traditional birthday cakes).

I second Baked & Wired. Personally can’t stand coconut but other cakes are delicious.
