Best Cake Places in Ashburn

"The options are endless, from cookies to cakes to pies—founding chef Christina Tosi was even featured on Netflix’s Chef’s Table for her culinary creations at this award-winning bakery. She is known for putting a playful and cheeky spin on your favorite home-style desserts, where some of the more legendary creations include the iconic Cereal Milk™ soft serve (made with milk, brown sugar, and a little bit of cornflakes which—yes—tastes just like childhood, a.k.a. the milk at the bottom of a bowl of cereal), naked layer cakes (you can actually see all of the moist and spongy layers through the transparent container), cake truffles, assorted cookies, and more!. If you’re celebrating a special occasion, order a chocolate caramel pretzel cake or their famous birthday cake for the road."

"Take the average cookie, put it on steroids and maybe you’ll end up with something almost-sort of like Milk Bar’s compost cookie. By this point, founder Christina Tosi’s inventiveness is well-known; the bakery values ingenuity. The famous compost cookie is packed with pretzels, potato chips, coffee grounds, oats, graham cracker crust, butterscotch chips and chocolate chips."

"There’s a lot going on amidst the daily hustle and bustle of the city, which means everyone needs a pick-me-up from time to time. It doesn’t matter if you have a major sweet tooth or you’re looking for something light and low-calorie—there’s something for everyone in the nation’s capital. From ice cream to cake to donuts, here are some of the best desserts across Washington, D.C. Bon appetit!"

"Sprinkles offers freshly baked cakes in a variety of flavors. They also offer special cakes such as vegan, sugar-free, and gluten-free ones for those on specific diets."

"If your love is a little bit on the fancy side, you’re sure to impress them with a truly Instagrammable box of Parisian macarons from Maison Ladurée. Be sure to order at least four flavors as the coffee, rose petal, salted caramel or lemon macaron. The only thing better would be actually takin them to France!"

"Baskin-Robbins (1446 Reston Pkwy, North Point Village Center)"

"Beard Papa's switches up their cream fillings on the regular, so you can always expect a different flavor. If you're looking for a classic Beard Papa's treat, order the Green Tea Cream Puff."

"The Four Seasons is expensive, but for those set on luxury, you won't find finer. The Four Seasons brand is a beacon for high-end service, classic design, and five-star pampering, and this property does an impeccable job delivering on all fronts. Tucked at the bottom of a picturesque street, the Four Seasons offers a covetable address amid Georgetown's tree-lined cobblestone streets lined with historic townhouses, designer boutiques, coffee shops, and restaurants."

"Washington’s Four Seasons is the go-to glam stay for many reasons – its luscious terraces with city-view suites, its Michael Mina steakhouse, Bourbon Steak, and its sociable wine bar, ENO, to name but three. But its full-sized lap pool and spa facilities, including steam rooms and hot tubs, are what keep guests coming back. We like the Rock Creek Forest massage, inspired by the local pines and peaks, which ends with a cup of hot cider."

"Transport yourself to a resort-like oasis at the Four Seasons Washington D.C. with its private fitness club and spa, along with luxuriously decorated rooms. Stay at the Georgetown Suite with Terrace for your private terrace area that boasts a lounge and dining set."
