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

Cannoli creamSweetened ricotta with mini chocolate chips and a hint of orange zest, borrowed from the Sicilian pastry shop.
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.

Frostings & finishes

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.
Semi-naked finishThin scrape of buttercream that lets the cake layers peek through, giving a rustic look often dressed with fresh flowers or fruit.
