Buttercream is the frosting here, which gives a soft, creamy finish that works for clean modern looks, textured rustic styles and drip designs. Past cakes from this kitchen include red velvet, tiramisu, a Hawaiian cake and a drip wedding cake, so there is room for both classic and playful wedding cake designs.
What's included
- Consultation to plan the look, size and flavors of your cake
- Custom cake design made for your event rather than picked from a catalog
- Private tasting so you can choose flavors before you commit
- Delivery and setup at your venue
- Buttercream finish at $5 per slice, before tax
Baked from scratch by an experienced chef
The owner and lead baker came to cakes from fine dining and years of catering work, then opened the bakery in 2020 to focus on the desserts she loves to make. Since then she has baked for pop-up markets and private events. Everything is made from scratch in a commercial-grade home kitchen that is licensed by the state health department, and fresh fruit is one of the signature ingredients.
Gluten free, vegan and dairy free options
Gluten-free, vegan and lactose-free versions are available, which makes this a practical choice when several guests have dietary needs. One recent client described how the baker helped her choose a gluten free wedding cake and noted that no extra charge was added for it. Mention allergies and restrictions at the consultation so ingredients can be planned from the start.
Pair it with a dessert table
Beyond the main cake, the bakery makes cupcakes, cookies, pastries, cheesecakes, tarts, brownies and full dessert buffets, so a wedding cake and cupcakes, a groom's cake or a cookie station can be added to the same order. If you want a smaller cutting cake with extra desserts around it, raise it during the tasting and the menu can be built around your plan.
Planning servings and size
Per-slice pricing makes the budget easy to estimate: multiply your expected guest count by the slice price, then decide whether every guest gets cake or whether cupcakes and other desserts share the load. Many hosts order cake for the full guest list and add a small dessert spread for variety. If your count is still moving, start with a realistic estimate and confirm the final number once your RSVPs are in.
Questions to bring to your tasting
- Which flavors and fillings pair well for your season and menu
- How tall and how many tiers your servings will need
- Whether you want fresh fruit, piping, a drip or a clean smooth finish
- Delivery timing, table size and where the cake will sit at the venue
- Any guests who need a gluten free, vegan or dairy free option
Who this cake suits
Choose this package if you want a basic wedding cake done well by a small bakery that bakes everything itself, with custom design and setup handled for you, at a clear per-slice price. It also works for engagement parties, showers, anniversaries and office events where a tiered cake is wanted but a large bakery order is not.
How booking works
Send your date, venue, guest count, color palette and any inspiration photos through the marketplace. The baker will confirm availability, set up your tasting and finalize the design, size and delivery time with you. The price shown is per slice before tax, and the final total depends on the number of servings and the design you choose.
