Our European-quality cakes are designed to perfection just for you. We believe they should be as delicious on the inside as they are lovely on the outside. Always made entirely “from scratch” using the finest ingredients, they are rich with butter, local cream, real vanilla, and dark Belgian chocolate, and are never overly sweet.

A tier of cake typically consists of two layers, a filling in between, and frosting and decoration on the outside. Wedding cakes include an Anniversary tier in addition to those for serving guests. With styles, sizes, and flavors to suit every occasion, we are always happy to help you choose the perfect combination.

Simple or lavish, we welcome special requests and we will do our utmost to fulfill them. Please feel free to call with inquiries, for price ranges, or to schedule a consultation for your wedding or other large event.
