Fondant creates a smooth sugar shell for sharp, sculpted designs. This shop offers both, with buttercream at the lower per-slice rate, which makes it a practical choice for larger guest lists.

The vendor publishes the $7 price as a per-slice rate without tax and states that listed prices include the consultation and custom design. Your estimate is the number of servings times the per-slice rate, plus tax. Minimum servings, cake sizes and delivery fees are not published, so the vendor confirms those details in your quote.
Design Style
The shop describes a modern, creative style in which each client receives a unique creation. The baker trained as an interior designer before turning to pastry, bringing an eye for color, balance and texture. Hosts can arrive with a clear vision or let the baker shape the concept, and five-star reviewers say both paths produced cakes that fit their day.
Reviewers also mention handmade wafer paper flowers so lifelike that guests thought they were real. On a buttercream cake, these accents can sit against piped or smoothed frosting for a softer, garden-style look. Bring photos of your florals, color palette and venue so the design matches the rest of your event décor.
Flavors and Fresh Ingredients
The shop uses fresh fruit and local, organic ingredients. Reviewers point to flavor and texture details such as fruit pieces in the filling and espresso bean texture. Because a fixed flavor menu is not published, cake, filling and frosting flavors are chosen with the baker during your consultation, and tiers can carry different flavors if you want variety for guests.
Private Tastings
Private tastings are offered, and reviewers recommend booking one before finalizing your order. Use the tasting to compare flavors, confirm the design sketch and decide on tiers. The tasting fee is not published, so ask about it in your quote. Several reviewers describe the baker as patient and responsive during this stage of planning.
Vegan and Gluten-Free Choices
Vegan and gluten-free options are listed, so guests with dietary needs can still enjoy dessert. Hosts sometimes add a separate vegan or gluten-free tier or a tray of cupcakes for those guests. Share the number of guests who need each option early, so servings can be portioned and labeled clearly for your caterer or venue team.
Pair It With a Dessert Table
The shop also makes cupcakes, cookies, groom's cakes and pastries, and it designs dessert buffets for wedding events. Cake stands and cake toppers are available too. A buttercream cake can serve as the centerpiece of a dessert table with matching cupcakes or cookies, keeping one design style and one point of contact for the full dessert order.
Delivery, Setup and Service Area
Delivery and setup are listed services, and the shop serves San Diego, Riverside, Los Angeles, Orange County and Palm Springs. Buttercream softens in heat, so plan for an indoor or shaded cake table at outdoor events and confirm arrival timing with your venue. Delivery charges are not published, so include your venue address when you request a quote.
Trust and Reviews
The vendor states that it is licensed by the state health department. It is five-star rated, and every reviewer recommends the shop. Reviews describe clear communication, attention to preferences and desserts for weddings, anniversaries and dessert tables. One reviewer received quotes for multiple options, a helpful way to compare buttercream and fondant before choosing.
Check Availability
Share your date, venue, guest count and inspiration through the package page. The vendor will confirm availability, cake size, flavors and delivery details for your location. Custom cakes need planning time, so starting early leaves room for a consultation and tasting before your buttercream design is finalized for your 2026 or 2027 event.
