Absolutely! We specialize in crowd-pleasing, memorable cake flavors that your guests will love. Most of our combos are based on nostalgic, classic, and well-known flavor combinations. If you want something even simpler, like vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream, then we’ll give you the most delicious all-vanilla cake we can make! Just ask us.

Yes! You can treat any of the cake & filling flavors on our menu as separate items, to mix and match as you please — for example, our dark chocolate cake from the “Salted Caramel Chocolate” combo, paired with the white chocolate cream cheese from our “White Wedding” combo instead. Or the burnt honey buttercream from “Honey Bunny” paired with our almond hot milk sponge instead of carrot cake. And so on!

Yes, we can! The flavors listed above are what we do best, and what we’re most proud of. Having said that, if you’re hankering for a particular type of cake and you don’t see it here, please reach out to us and tell us more. We can typically accommodate almost any off-menu flavor request, for an additional fee. The exceptions are: Keto/Paleo cakes, recipes from your grandma / aunt involving Miracle Whip instead of eggs, and the rare request that is too wacky or context-specific for us to feel confident about putting our name on it!

No, not necessarily. Our default exterior frosting is vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream, which is naturally off-white in color. ALL our cakes are frosted with this delicious buttercream before we apply any other decorations (with the exception of vegan or dairy-free cakes, which are frosted with a plant-based version of our classic Swiss meringue buttercream — but this is also naturally off-white in color). The chocolate part, or any other filling, is tucked BETWEEN the layers of cake and isn’t used for the exterior. If the design calls for it, we would add a tint to our off-white buttercream to produce a color that matches your event palette. Having said that, if you WANT to have a chocolate frosting on the outside, that’s totally fine too!

In that case, you’re in the right place! We make everything from scratch — all our cake batters, buttercreams, citrus curds, mousselines, fruit compotes, caramel sauce, milk soaks and syrups. We do this because we believe in the power of tradition, and because we want to have control over the sugar content in everything. Sugar is an important ingredient in baking (not just for sweetness — it contributes volume and body, stability, moisture, and shelf life to the finished product). It’s taken us years to refine our recipes so the sugar content is JUST right and all the other flavor components can shine.

Importantly, we use Swiss meringue buttercream as the base for all of our buttercream-based fillings and exterior frostings, which has two-thirds less sugar (by volume) than a traditional “American” buttercream. All the sugar is dissolved into the meringue as well, which means it is SILKY smooth and doesn’t have the grittiness that American frosting has. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by how delicately sweet our cakes are, allowing you to appreciate the entire composition of the dessert. We’re chefs first and foremost, artists second, so in our view, the cake that your guests enjoy at your celebration needs to be just as special and memorable as any dessert course they’d enjoy in a five-star fine dining establishment.
