Desserts By Gerard - Oxon Hill

I love this place. I tried a lot of things, but my favorite is the pumpkin. It is buttery and the Custard is not too creamy. It's not overwhelmingly sweet either. I definitely go back for more. I'll try her cake soon. Sure a great discovery!

We contacted the team at Desserts By Gerard less than 48 hours before our event after another bakery let us down. The cakes were not only beautiful but also delicious, and they were packed and delivered with great care and professionalism right to the event entrance. They exceeded our expectations with the flavors! I highly recommend checking them out for your dessert needs.

Amazing desserts! I ordered 10 mini cakes for a special date night dinner I prepared for my partner. I took pictures of the display so I could pick out the mini cakes while waiting in line—great idea! Now I have a list of treats I want to try for every occasion. You really can't go wrong with any choice. The desserts aren't overly sweet or cluttered with toppings (excuse the pun, lol). I wish all of them were available for online orders, but there are only so many options! They are a bit pricey, but each mini treat I purchased was a deliciously crafted work of art! They made for a stunning dessert presentation for our special night and were the perfect complement to the dinner I put so much effort into. (Sorry, I didn't take pictures of the entire dessert display!)

It's been seven years since I last reviewed Gerald's. Since I retired, I don't get to visit as often as I'd like. Over the years, my family and I have ordered countless cakes for birthdays, Mother's Day, graduations, baby showers, and Christmas in various flavors and styles. On one occasion, I requested a custom cake for a special event, and Gerald even created 12 miniature Valentine cakes for my office staff. Their tarts, miniature pastries, and croissants are out of this world, with my personal favorite being the Rustic Tart.
