Dunn From Scratch Bakery - Leesburg, Virginia

Julia Diamond

Dunn From Scratch was an amazing addition to our wedding day. Helen is a delight to work with, and her cakes are interesting and delicious. She worked with our florist to make the perfect rustic yet elegant cutting cake design, and we received many compliments from our guests about our cake. Helen was very transparent about not making gluten free or vegan cakes, but referred us to dedicated bakeries who could better support people with serious dietary restrictions. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and we can't wait to come back next year on our anniversary for a celebratory replica cake!

If there is one thing that was most memorable about our wedding reception, it was the absolutely stunning and delicious deserts made by Helen.

Our guests went out of their way to thank us for and tell us how much they enjoyed the variety of treats that she made and immediately asked us where we got them.

On top of all of that, was our cake. Hands down, our cake was probably the best I’ve ever had!

The tastes and textures of each of our deserts were absolutely incredible and the attention to detail showed that Helen not only makes phenomenal desserts but also shows how much she truly cared about our wedding and about what she does.

Thank you Helen for making our day tasty and delicious! 20 out of 10 would totally recommend!

From the beginning of our journey in considering vendors for our wedding cake it was truly a joy to work w/ Helen. Her customer service, attentiveness and just being personable was truly appreciated. We ordered a 2-tier almond with ganache & espresso buttercream, and lemon w/ strawberry & mascarpone. We also ordered chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies as part of an additional dessert spread. Everything was excellent. Highly recommend!

Dunn From Scratch /Helen made our daughter’s birthday cake and it was a work of art! Not only was it beautiful but it was delicious. Helen was easy to work with and so communicative. She appreciated the photos I sent for inspo and went above and beyond. Pick up was easy—we even drove 35 min each way and was simple to get to. My husband, who doesn’t like extra sweet stuff, said it was awesome! Her buttercream is perfection- not too sweet!! I’m so glad I found her and will share her details with anyone who needs a special cake…or just any cake! Thank you!!!

Highly recommend Dunn from Scratch! Helen was easy to communicate with - setting up our wedding cake tasting pick up and the booking process was a breeze. Our tasting was quite substantial compared to other bakeries we tried - Helen provided 3 miniature cakes of our selected flavors! Each one was SO good, it was hard to pick just one. The cake and desserts were delivered on time on our wedding day and the cake was absolutely stunning. She nailed my vision! Plus, our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious the cake and all the desserts were!

If you are thinking about a dessert bar for your wedding, look no further!! Helen offers a variety of desserts and flavors for everyone to enjoy! Our guests could not get enough of the desserts. Helen is a sweetheart, so easy to talk to, work with, and she’s an outstanding baker! The inquiry and booking process was a breeze. I had no doubts that everything would be perfect. And our personal spice wedding cake with maple icing was superb!!! Thank you so much Helen for all of your hard work. The dessert bar display came out even more beautiful than I could have imagined.

Have ordered twice now from Dunn from Scratch and both times we received amazing baked goods. Initially, it was no big deal as the first order was just for our personal consumption however, the oatmeal bourbon cream cookie grenades wowed us so much we wanted them for our wedding celebration. Along with that, we ordered a chocolate bourbon bacon cake that was to be our wedding cake. Ordering was easy, and the promised order was ready right on time. Would order again and again, easily some of the best desserts we've ever had.

I needed a last-minute birthday cake for my wife and in less than 48 hours, Dunn From Scratch baked a beautiful and delicious cake for me. It was chocolate with vanilla buttercream frosting and was impeccably decorated! The guests at the dinner party loved it and most asked where I got it! I was very impressed by the service, response time, and quality of the cake and will definitely buy from them again!
