I've found out the hard way that it is actually quite difficult to get a great custom cake made. You need someone who is reliable, makes delicious and beautiful cakes, and knows how to work well with people. Chris has all of these attributes. He goes above and beyond for his customers. Our cake and cupcakes were DELICIOUS. The kids and adults both enjoyed everything which is also rare.
The cake was so moist and the icing was the BEST. My husband said it's by far the best cake he has ever had. We finished almost the entire cake in one afternoon! A truly amazing experience.

I wish I had a better picture of the cake but it was so Beautiful! I left my wedding cake details to my sister & Chris and trusted them with the whole entire process & I'm so glad I did! He even gave us an extra fresh strawberry cake! Both were Delicious! My sister said it was such a pleasure working with him, he communicated with the her & made the process super smooth! Thank you Chris! Blessings for you & your business! Will definitely look you up again for future events :

Working with Chris to create a custom birthday cake was a dream. He took my rambling idea and built it into a masterpiece. Totally nailed it, top to bottom it was built with the birthday boy in mind. A dream to work with, Chris was flexible about communication since it was for a surprise party and very patient as we worked through different options.
He takes so much pride in his work and his excitement over your cake is infectious. That pride shined through with the actual final product. It was a perfect, beautiful and deliciously tasty cake, and the second biggest attraction (after the birthday boy himself) at the party. Highly recommend getting a cake from Chris if you want to 'put the icing on the top' of your party! You will NOT be disappointed. He's got a loyal customer forever here.

Chris is a master artist who listens to your wants/concept and creates a custom cake that goes beyond what you imagined! He's a dream to work with and will nail down every last detail with you for a result that doesn't disappoint. The cake for the surprise birthday party was a huge hit both with design and how delicious the cake was! Chris makes you feel like you are his only customer as he focuses on your cake. His pride shows in his work. So glad I connected with him. The cake was a total hit!

I recently ordered a cake from Chris for my PhD graduation. The cake was absolutely amazing--both visually stunning and delicious. It was a huge hit at the party. Our cake was 3 layers with 3 different flavors: chocolate, vanilla, and marble. The chocolate was certainly the hit of the party because of the delicious fudgy middle layer. Chris delivered the cake in a refrigerated truck, which was a lifesaver since our party was outside in July. I would recommend Chris to anyone looking for a special occasion cake!

I had an amazing experience working with Chris! Our guests could not believe how beautiful the cookies were and biting into them the guests were even more in awe. Perfectly decorated and so tasty - thanks, Chris, for bringing my vision to life! You went above and beyond, despite how busy you are, and we couldn't be more grateful.

This was my first time ordering a custom cake, Chris was very fun to work with and talk to. He made my son's cake exactly how I wanted. I know I annoyed him a little with the many questions that I had and numerous emails that I had sent hahaha but he always responded whenever he had the chance. My baby boy was so happy to see his birthday cake! My guests all enjoyed how beautiful the cake looked and tasted.
It was very hard to find a bakery that makes custom cakes with tres leches filling but Chris made it happen! I can't wait to order another custom cake from Cakes by Chris Furin in the future!

Chris was amazing to work with. he listens to your vision and then offers suggestions and pictures to bring your cake to life! He is the best I have ever worked with. He made my Husbands 60th birthday cake and it was awesome. I highly recommend Chris to anyone and everyone who is trying to have the perfect cake for their special occasion. Chris is the best!

Chris did an amazing job for our son's first birthday cake. He was easy to communicate with and did a great job of making my 90s theme conception into reality. Everyone couldn't stop commenting on how awesome the cake was! Thanks for making our son's birthday so special, Chris; we really appreciate it!

As Chris already has so many fantastic reviews, I don't know that another 5-star review is going to do much for his business. But, he did such a phenomenal job for me that I'd hate to miss the opportunity to sing his praises. I asked him for a complex 3D cake with a tough two-day turnaround. Despite an incredibly busy schedule, Chris accommodated my request and exceeded my expectations. Chris is very personable, and takes great pride in making his creation the highlight of any event. Highly recommend!

I went to Chris in 2017 for my mom's 50th birthday where he made a Louis Vuitton purse cake with a red bottom shoe (image attached.) The cake was not only beautiful, but tasted even better. We had a vanilla/yellow cake with buttercream icing. I then came back to him in 2020 for my Dad's 56th birthday where he made a 3D basketball cake. None was left by the end of the party.
This time we went with Lemon with buttercream icing. If you need a cake made I highly recommend using Chris. He works with you along the way and brings your ideas to life and he also brings great ideas to the table if you're not sure where to start. He's very professional and the nicest guy you'll ever meet. He even delivers your cake personally. He drove over an hour for my delivery. Nothing, but great things to say about him and his work.

I usually do not write reviews but I'm so thankful Chris was able to make a cake for my brothers birthday party in a short amount of time. The cake was beautiful and everyone loved it! He designed it just the way I wanted it and added some additional touches that I didn't think about. Chris also drove an hour and 20 minutes to deliver the cake! I am beyond amazed at the level of customer service I received and for that I will always be a customer. Chris is highly recommended, do not look anywhere else. Thank you again!

Our good friends surprised us with the most amazing and delicious Washington Nationals cake from Chris Furin. I want to fill this review with wow, wow, wow. A perfect cake beautifully decorated and luscious to eat. From the fondant to the frosting to the chocolate cake and chocolate mousse- great stuff. Highly recommended.

What a cake! We threw a 65th birthday party for my partner/husband, for 45 guests, a black and white party motif. Chris made a two tier cake with white fondant exterior, bases of black bands, with a cherry blossom sprig. The cake flavor was Dulce de Leche (Carmel). It was a smash hit, beautifully displayed. All the guests had to know where it came from. It added much to a memorable evening.

Chris is absolutely amazing! Not only was the cake better than expected it was delicious. He made a special occasion even better. He is a true professional and artist and went above and beyond to treat me wonderfully, customized the cake exactly how I wanted, and make sure everything was perfect. I highly highly recommend!

He delivered and set-up the cake beautifully and the attendees of the shower were very impressed!. Thank you Chris!.I will contact you for my next big event I host! I highly recommend Chris Furin's cakes, don't waste your time with any others!

I can't even begin to express my gratitude and appreciation for what Chris created. My daughters baptism cupcake cake was AMAZING. Not only was the presentation beautiful, the taste of the cake and frosting of the cupcakes was delicious. Our guest were so impressed by the cake and I was proud to tell them that it was a creation from Cakes by Chris Furin. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this amazing cake!

The cake and cookies made by Chris Furin were phenomenal! It was for my dad's surprise birthday party for his 70th. My dad was super happy and surprised and all of the guests commented on how beautiful AND delicious the cake was! The cake not only looked amazing but it tasted amazing as well. Chris was helpful, professional, and both the customized cookies and cakes he made were delicious and spectacular.

I'm not going to speak about the quality of the cake because my interaction with Cakes by Chris Furin didn't even make it that far. As for his customer service, TERRIBLE! HORRIBLE! I emailed him for a quote and after some back and forth I guess I asked the wrong question because all I got back was attitude. He'll deny it because in his response to my response (where he called me "extremely sensitive" and a "bully" and claims I "viciously attacked" him, when I was only giving him a taste of his own medicine - umm, dramatic much?!), the attitude and rudeness multiplied.
You know those people who like to unnecessarily BOLD certain words in their email to make a point but really it just makes you feel they think you're stupid because that's what they're really thinking? Yeah, that's him. Just unprofessional. I'd rather pay more somewhere else just to get friendlier service.

Chris is amazing! He made me a Cigar Box Cake for my Husband's Birthday and it was very nice. Everyone mentioned not only how great it looked, but also how delicious it was! Then two weeks later, he made me a Safari Baby Shower Cake for a good friend's baby shower. It was also so pretty and not one piece was left in the end. Chris created these cakes exactly how I describe them to him and more. He is now my go to guy for cakes. I really enjoyed working with Chris. He made this process very easy and he is very easy to get along with. I highly recommend Chris!

I wanted to do something different for my boyfriend's 30th birthday so i ordered a custom golf cake. Not only did the cake turn out better than expected, it was incredibly moist and delicious. Everyone was raving about how good it looked and tasted. Chris delivered the cake right on time and was so great to work with. I would definitely recommend him!

Chris Furin created a custom cake for a party honoring my husband. Since our crowd loves all things chocolate, we opted for chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. It looked and tasted amazing! Everyone raved about it and it was truly the hit of the party. Chris was a pleasure to work with and I can't recommend him highly enough. I can't wait for our next occasion so I can order another one of his fabulous cakes!

Chris created a custom fondant cake (a bottle of Moet & Chandon Imperial) for my engagement party. My fiance and I absolutely loved it and it was the talk of party. Chris does an excellent job of translating his customers' vision and wants into a beautiful, delicious reality. Superb customer service and attention to detail. We could not have been more pleased! We will definitely use him again for our next celebration.
