Full menu

Cake 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.
  • Classic vanilla beanFine-crumbed butter cake flecked with vanilla bean seeds; soft, moist and neutral enough to pair with almost any filling.

Fillings

  • Raspberry preservesTart, seedy raspberry jam spread between layers; it cuts through rich buttercream and leaves a vivid ribbon of color in each slice.
  • Lemon curdSilky, tangy curd cooked from lemon juice, eggs and butter, adding a bright, puckery layer to vanilla or almond cake.
  • Dark chocolate ganacheMelted dark chocolate whisked with warm cream, setting into a dense, fudgy layer between chocolate or vanilla sponges.
  • Bavarian creamVanilla custard lightened with whipped cream, cool and pudding-like; pairs especially well with layers of sliced fruit.

Frostings & finishes

  • 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.
  • Stabilized whipped creamAiry, lightly sweetened cream held firm with a stabilizer; well suited to fruit cakes and kept refrigerated until serving.
  • Ganache dripGlossy chocolate poured over a chilled cake so it runs down the sides in controlled drips, a popular modern finish.
