Full menu

Cake flavors

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.
Lemon chiffonAiry oil-based sponge brightened with fresh zest and juice; springy and tangy, a frequent pick for showers and summer weddings.

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.
