Natalia's Elegant Creations
Ok, I'll admit it. My standard response to anyone recommending Cakelove for anything other than an eclair is "have you tried Natalia's Elegant Creations?" And yes, I know...some of you like the Cakelove cupcakes. Well, maybe those of you that haven't - as I have - been spoiled by NYC cupcakes from places like Magnolia and Buttercup. I haven’t tried Natalia’s cupcakes yet, but if they are the same quality as her cakes, they should be quite good. Natalia does not have a storefront, but her cakes, bars, cookies, and cupcakes are available at Dean & DeLuca in Georgetown. She can be reached through her website, or phoned at (571) 239-0256. I was lucky enough to try Natalia's desserts last summer, when she was selling at the Clarendon Farmer's Market...until a positive article about her - made from scratch, European-style - baked goods appeared in the Washington Post food section. At that point, she was just too busy to shlep to farmer's markets. You can order directly from Natalia, and have her deliver to you for a fee, which is $7 for Arlington and Falls Church, and $7-12 for DC, and Fairfax and Montgomery counties. By ordering direct, you can request custom orders, and order from her catalog, including gluten-free or nut-free items. Natalia is currently looking for a location for a storefront. I hope that works out for her.

I'm vegan and I like rich, flavorful, fresh-baked desserts. Before Natalia's, basically my only two choices were make them myself or schlep over to Sticky Fingers in Columbia Heights. Natalia started adding a vegan selection (sometimes two) each day about a month ago. So far, she's had maple-walnut cupcakes, red velvet cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies, lemon-coconut cake, and many other delectibles, and they have all been fantastic. My non-vegan friends agree. My impression is that she does not put anything out on the shelf - vegan or non-vegan - unless it looks and tastes great, i.e., unless it is up to her standards of quality. Plus the shop has a very nice comfortable yet classy ambience. Neighborhoody but stylish. Raves. Posted by: Gary at October 26, 2007 2:20 AM Post a comment |
