HOW MUCH DO CUSTOM CAKES COST?

The cost of a custom cake varies - It will ultimately depend on how many people it is serving, how many layers and just how much work is involved. Some cakes take several days to complete and are quite labor intensive - I am happy to give a free consultation and estimate for your special cake -

FLAVORS

Really, the sky is the limit when it comes to cakes. Some of the flavors I typically do are:

Vanilla
White Chocolate
Devils Food
Lemon
Butternut
Chocolate, Chocolate Chip

with the most popular fillings:

Vanilla Buttercream
Ganache
Raspberry
Lemon
Cookies and Cream
Chocolate Hazelnut Buttercream
Chocolate Hazelnut
Peanut Butter Buttercream

I am always willing to seek new recipes of different cake and filling flavors too!!

Paris for a Day - 13th Birthday

The Theme of my Daughter's 13th Birthday party was "Paris for a Day" - Everything was Pink/Black and Damask. She wanted her cake to be large, simple and elegant - very Parisian if I do say so myself! I did a White Chocolate Poundcake with a Chocolate Mousse Filling and Vanilla Buttercream Crusted prior to layering with Fondant. IT was MAGNIFIQUE!!

Pink - Orange - Zebra BABY SHOWER!

I was asked to do a Baby Shower Cake using the colors Orange and Hot Pink with some Zebra - They requested a Square Design - I hand painted all the accents and made the baby shoes out of Gumpaste - I was quite pleased with the little shoes! It was a Chocolate Sponge Cake with Ganache Filling - Very Rich, though the sponge cake was less dense and sweet and complimented the ganache quite well.

Making 40 Look Groovy

This was a last minute request for someone having a 70's Party for their 40th Birthday. Her favorite colors are pink, orange, yellow, Etc. One layer Chocolate, the other Vanilla, with Vanilla Buttercream filling and Fondant Accents-

Death by Chocolate!

It doesn't get more chocolate than this!! Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Poundcake with Chocolate Hazelnut Buttercream topped with Chocolate Fondant! OOOH! This was amazingingly deelish. It was sprinkled with sugar crystals and had gumpaste accents. Prepared for a Surprise 40th Birthday.

Father's Day - Ooozing with LOVE!

This was a cake I whipped up quickly for my Husband on Father's Day. Devil's Food Cake with Vanilla Buttercream topped with Ganache... ooozing with love! : )

80th Birthday!!

For this cake I was requested to use only Brown and white. Devil's Food Cake with Vanilla Buttercream topped with Marshmallow and Chocolate Fondant and edged with more Buttercream. It was like a giant HOHO.

Vintage Hat Box Cake


I did this one for a friend's 40th birthday. She has a great love for vintage clothes and shoes and I thought a hat box would be a perfect fit. Yellow cake with a hint of citrus combined with a fudge/caramel filling. The cake was 4 layers not including the top/lid which was a pound cake. The cake did not photograph as beautifully as it looked in person. It was a hit!
