And we want to make sure that we get it right. Often times a custom cake can take a full day to make and we want to make sure that we are able to pay our talented cake artists their fair wage.

What's the Difference Between a Custom Cake & Traditional Cake?

Our traditional cakes are styled in a way that is similar to any bakery you may walk into. You look at the cake and can say "oh that's a carrot cake" or "that's a chocolate cake." They are styled to look like the flavor they represent. Custom cakes are everythign outside of that. They are specifically made for you to go with a party theme or popular trends. Examples include: Unicorn cakes, drip cakes, galaxy cakes, and more. To see more examples of our custom cakes, visit our custom cake photo gallery.
