Full menu

Cake flavors

MarbleVanilla and chocolate batters swirled together in the pan, so each slice reveals its own ribbon pattern and two flavors.
ConfettiVanilla cake with rainbow sprinkles baked into the batter, leaving cheerful colored specks throughout; a long-standing birthday party favorite.
Spiced carrotDense, moist spice cake with grated carrot, cinnamon and chopped walnuts, sturdy enough to stack into multiple tiers.
Gluten-free vanillaVanilla layer cake made from a rice and tapioca flour blend, with a soft, even crumb for guests who avoid wheat.

Fillings

Bavarian creamVanilla custard lightened with whipped cream, cool and pudding-like; pairs especially well with layers of sliced fruit.
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.

Frostings & finishes

American buttercreamWhipped butter and powdered sugar frosting, sweet and fluffy, easy to tint and pipe into borders, rosettes and lettering.
Swiss meringue buttercreamSatiny frosting made by whipping cooked egg whites and sugar with butter; less sugary and smooth enough for razor-sharp edges.
Cream cheese frostingTangy, soft frosting of cream cheese and butter, the traditional partner for red velvet, carrot and hummingbird cakes.
Rolled fondantPliable sugar paste rolled over the cake for a seamless matte surface, used for sculpted shapes and detailed themed designs.
