Elevation Cakes & Sweets
Formerly Lady A's Cheesecakes & Mocha Girl Cakes & Things, it has always been our goal to provide the best quality in desserts and give our personal touch by incorporating flavors from our southern roots and Jamaican heritage. Alicia's journey started from learning basic cooking skills from her paternal grandmother, who would bake family favorites every week just to put a smile on their faces.

Her grandmother was the first one to nurture her love for baking by sending her cookbooks to help her develop baking skills. This lead to Alicia working for her former high school teacher in catering services as a teenager. Alicia continued her studies by enrolling in cooking school.

What a great experience! I wanted to surprise my husband with a birthday Cake while traveling to Herndon for the holidays with his family, and Alicia DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The cake could not have been more PERFECT AND DELICIOUS!!! Alicia was so gracious to squeeze in my order and I couldn't have been more thrilled with our cake as a result. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a custom cake

I want to take this time to thank you for all your hard work. My cake was simply beautiful. You brought my vision to life. Not to mention, the cake was delicious. You have earned yet another 5 star rating. I'm sorry I don't have a picture to post right now. Thanks again from the bottom of my heart. Donna Jackson

I still CRAVE the cupcakes Elevation Cakes made for our 2021 wedding! They were so understanding of our multiple changed dates (due to COVID) and rolled with the punches with us. We had the salted caramel and triple berry cupcakes at our wedding, and every guest was obsessed and wanted contact information for Elevation. They delivered the cupcakes to our venue and were extremely affordable, even though we would have been willing to pay anything to have these delicious treats at the wedding. I recommend Elevation Cakes to all of my bride friends!

We recently collaborated with Elevation Cakes on a wedding. This cake was not only beautiful, but delicious. They arrived on time and promptly got everything set up. The owner was easy to talk to and quick to respond. We loved working with them and hope to do so again in the future.

Hands down the best cakes in Northern VA. Moist, flavorful, and Alicia is always able to execute your vision to the tee. Look no further for your cake needs. Oh and she also makes a bomb banana pudding!

I loved the cake Ms. Johnson made for my best friend's birthday! It was so beautiful and delicious! I appreciated her flexibility and customer service while placing my order. I'm looking forward to ordering another cake from her soon!

I have ordered several cakes from this baker and every single time she goes way above and beyond ! The cake itself has been beyond delicious, fresh, moist, and I have eaten some of the best baked goods from her ever. (Sorry, Grandma lol) This baker is the best and I honestly feel that she treats all of her customers like family and she excels in excellent customer service, delicious cakes and sweets and a very caring demeanor.
I have recommended her cakes to everyone who would listen and she never disappoints. Simply and deliciously amazing. Wish I could leave a higher rating.

Ordered for the first time for my moms 70th birthday so wanted something fancy and Alicia delivered! It was better than expected- we had the salted caramel. I had noticed the strawberry shortcake and mentioned to my husband how amazing it looked so when my birthday was a couple months later he surprised me with it and it was fantastic! Have now just placed an order for my sons birthday next month and can’t wait to try another flavor and another cake from Elevation cakes. We are spoiled now!

The cake was delicious. Every bite was moist and flavorful. The attention to detail from Elevation Cakes is 2nd to none. Our family has a new favorite bakery. We love celebrating birthdays with custom cakes and looking forward to our next experience!

We ordered some Christmas goodies delivered as a gift, and the recipient was crazy about them! She loved the taste and the decorations. We ordered via email (very easy) and paid via a PayPal invoice. We're so glad we found this place and would definitely recommend Elevation to anyone.

Alicia's dedication and professionalism is on display with every order. Her cakes are moist and delicious and her treats from the dipped pretzels and chocolate covered Oreos they change your occasion from great to excellent. She is worth every single penny. You must try her YESTERDAY!!!!

Wow oh wow is all I can say! We ordered a salted caramel 6in cake for my son's 16th birthday. That's all that he asked for. Boy did Alicia deliver and above and beyond our expectations. Her website has an easy order form which she promptly responded to. Pickup was easy and we couldn't be more pleased. Highly recommended for your next special occasion or sweet cravings. Can't wait to order my next cake.
