Full menu

Cake flavors

  • Gluten-free vanillaVanilla layer cake made from a rice and tapioca flour blend, with a soft, even crumb for guests who avoid wheat.
  • Classic vanilla beanFine-crumbed butter cake flecked with vanilla bean seeds; soft, moist and neutral enough to pair with almost any filling.
  • Devil's food chocolateDark chocolate cake made with cocoa and hot coffee, giving a deep, slightly bittersweet flavor and a very moist, tender crumb.
  • Red velvetButtermilk cake with a light cocoa note and vivid red color, traditionally layered with tangy cream cheese frosting.

Fillings

  • Fresh strawberries & creamSliced ripe strawberries set into whipped cream between layers, juicy and light; best for cakes served within a day of pickup.
  • Salted caramelSlow-cooked caramel with a pinch of sea salt, thick and buttery, often piped inside a buttercream dam to keep layers neat.
  • Cookies & cream mousseWhipped vanilla mousse folded with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, giving a speckled look and soft crunch between layers.
  • Cannoli creamSweetened ricotta with mini chocolate chips and a hint of orange zest, borrowed from the Sicilian pastry shop.

Frostings & finishes

  • Rolled fondantPliable sugar paste rolled over the cake for a seamless matte surface, used for sculpted shapes and detailed themed designs.
  • Stabilized whipped creamAiry, lightly sweetened cream held firm with a stabilizer; well suited to fruit cakes and kept refrigerated until serving.
  • Ganache dripGlossy chocolate poured over a chilled cake so it runs down the sides in controlled drips, a popular modern finish.
  • Semi-naked finishThin scrape of buttercream that lets the cake layers peek through, giving a rustic look often dressed with fresh flowers or fruit.
