Our cakes range from wedding and celebration cakes to amazing cakes to lift your spirits and served with dinner. We offer a cake as small as six-inch to serve 8, up to multi-tiered cakes to serve hundreds. All can be simply or incredibly decorated.
Many of our patrons are requesting a flavor list. We really don’t have one. As specialty bakers the options are almost unlimited. There are many combinations for cakes, fillings and icings. And cakes can be fashioned out of your favorite desserts. This article is pointed to our brides, but when we bake birthday, baby shower, anniversary and celebration cakes, we use our same tried and true recipes, fillings and icings.
We choose tasting flavors based on traditional and seasonal flavors with input from our couples and other visitors . They will include Bavarians, cheesecakes, mousse, curds, fruit compotes and more. The sample flavors we provide for you will represent our talent, taste and presentation. We feel you will find our cakes incredibly delicious and ask you to imagine how good your cake will be, for example, “substituting the raspberry for blackberry.”
Here is a common list that we use for our scheduled wedding tasting menu to give you a quick look at what we offer:
- Apple Spice with a caramel buttercream filling
- Pumpkin spice with an orange zest cream cheese filling on the 1st and middle, top filling layer of pumpkin puree cream filling
- Traditional red velvet with a traditional cream cheese filling
- Chocolate cake with a peanut butter mousse filling
- Italian cream (my most popular white cake) with a raspberry puree and Chambord (raspberry liquor)
- Lemon cake, lemon curd filling with a blueberry coulis and vanilla buttercream
- Strawberry cake with vanilla buttercream and a strawberry cheesecake filling layer
- Carrot cake with a traditional cream cheese filling
- Chocolate/Almond marble cake with an Amaretto filling and an almond cheesecake and cream cheese filling layer in the top filling layer
All of our cakes are scratch made with natural ingredients. Fresh and local when we can find them, including compotes, jams, and other fillings. And our buttercream icings are made with real sweet butter, no shortening, margarine, or powdered sugar. They are light in texture and in flavor. They are the true buttercream icings.
You can have any flavor combination inside your cake. And the outside can be decorated any way you would like. So, have your cake and eat it too!!
Our Flavor Trends in our wedding and celebration cakes.
Our current trends include compound cakes. The days of having just two layers of cake with regular icing in the middle are over!!! In the example of the cake slices, we took a traditional strawberry cake which includes our scratch made strawberry compote and added a layer of strawberry cheesecake. Another, we took a traditional coconut cake (made with coconut milk) and added lime buttercream and a lime Bavarian layer.
Dessert bars are very much in style for parties and weddings. It is very trendy to include multiple cakes to accommodate your guests that request vegan and gluten-free options. Pies are very much in vogue as well as an assortment of cookies, bars and other favorite desserts (pies, tarts, cheesecakes, and so forth). And when it comes to pie? Well, we’ve taken our filling for our old fashioned chocolate pie and put it into a cake!
If you like Tiramisu, we bake the lady fingers as a layer cake, add to that the coffee liquor soaking syrup (usually Kahlua), and prepare a true mascarpone Bavarian cream. The end result is a Tiramisu taste in a layered style for an event or just for dinner!
Dessert bars can accommodate your vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free and pie lover guests!
Note: no matter what the year and whatever the internet says is the latest, remember the new trend is for our bride and our customers to have exactly what they want… and that includes everything.
I hope this helps, and let us know when we can schedule a complimentary tasting for you if you are planning a wedding or large event.
