Patisserie Poupon in Georgetown. So good. At Wisconsin and Q. Needless to say you will pay through the nose, but worth it.

+1 on Stella's and Praline. I've heard Paul's is good, but haven't checked it out yet.

Is Reeves Bakery still on G Street in Metro Center area? Or did it get gobbled up? They had wonderful strawberry pie. I don't know if their desserts were "super fancy," but they were super good.

DC isn't the best place for nice desserts. If I were you, I'd hire someone to make some treats for you (maybe a SAHM) who would do it for a decent price (we had moms at my kid's Montessori School who made better desserts than French Patissieri's).

I'm hosting a dessert-tasting, and I don't want to make them myself. Where in the metro DC area can I buy the best desserts (pastries, cakes, fruit tarts, etc.)?
