ONE CAKE, ONE FAMILY
“The design was elegant, decorated with fresh roses, macarons, and a lovely ribbon that gave it such a classy touch. The top tier was a soft vanilla cake filled with whipped cream and fresh strawberries, while the bottom tier was a delicious marble cake with creamy custard.”

Donna ordered it a week ahead for her aunt's 80th birthday and retirement. Our team walked her through handling the fresh flowers, packed it so it would travel, and carried it out to her car.

CUSTOM CAKES

Tell us what the party is, and we will build the cake around it.

Characters, castles, school colors, a number in gold, fresh roses down one side. The shelf behind our counter is the fastest way to see what is possible.

Two shelves of finished custom cakes including unicorn, Mario, Lego, Hello Kitty, Little Mermaid and USC graduation designs
A normal week on the pickup shelf. Every one of these was ordered by somebody local.

Birthdays

From a single layer with a name piped on it to a tiered centerpiece with fresh flowers. Character cakes are a specialty.

Quinceañeras

Tiered celebration cakes, the kind that sit in our front window and stop people on Rosecrans.

Weddings

Tiered cakes finished in buttercream, fondant or fresh flowers, made to match the day rather than a catalog.

Confirmations and communions

Softly piped, traditional finishes in whatever color the family is working to.

Graduations

School colors, caps, logos. We have done plenty of them, including a USC one you can see on our shelf.

Retirements and anniversaries

Grown up cakes for grown up occasions, decorated with fresh roses and macarons if you want them.

Custom cake orders are taken over the phone or in person, so we can talk through size, flavors and the design properly. A week ahead is ideal for tiered cakes.

“I ordered a beautiful two-tier cake for my aunt's 80th birthday and retirement celebration, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The design was elegant, decorated with fresh roses, macarons, and a lovely ribbon that gave it such a classy touch. The top tier was a soft vanilla cake filled with whipped cream and fresh strawberries, while the bottom tier was a delicious marble cake with creamy custard. Every bite was amazing, and my whole family absolutely loved it!”
