Lots! Please see Gourmet Layer Cakes for flavors. We use the same scratch made batters for our cakes and cupcakes.

Layer cakes come standard with buttercream filling that can be flavored or colored free of charge. We can add custom fillings, such as fresh fruit, jam, pastry cream (custard), mousse, whipped cream, or cheesecake filling in any flavor of our cheesecake cupcakes. Custom fillings incur extra charges depending on the size of the cake.

No, we do not offer edible screen printing technology. Our talented decorators can hand pipe a custom design in buttercream with some limitations to detail.

Dark or bright colored frosting that requires a lot of food color does have a slight metallic taste, and is also prone to staining teeth and clothing. We recommend white, chocolate, or pastel colored base buttercream, and saving the darker colors for details or accents. Please note we cannot change the color of naturally tinted frosting, such as chocolate or peanut butter buttercream.

We only use our homemade buttercream and do not use fondant or gum paste. Our cake buttercream does have some vegetable shortening in it which makes it smooth and easy to decorate with, while our cupcake buttercream does not contain shortening.

Unfortunately we cannot decorate cakes with cream cheese frosting on the outside, as it is more difficult to spread. We can fill your cake with cream cheese frosting free of charge, and we can also add a natural cream cheese emulsion to flavor our cake buttercream if you prefer.

We only make round and square layer cakes. We do not make sheet cakes, or complicated carved or sculpted cakes.

Yes, many of our cake flavors can be made Gluten Free by special order. You can find our list of flavors here.

Click the pulldown menu labeled “Dietary Selection” on each product to see if that flavor is available vegan. Our vegan cakes and cupcakes substitute dairy and eggs for soy milk, vegetable oil or shortening (soy based), Earth Balance vegan margarine, and either Ener-G egg replacer or applesauce.

Yes, many of our cupcake flavors can be made Keto by special order with a minimum of 6 per flavor. You can find our list of flavors here. Click the pulldown menu labeled “Dietary Selection” on each product to see if that flavor is available Keto. We make our Keto diet-friendly cupcakes with a blend of gluten free almond and coconut flour, erythritol sugar substitute, almond milk, high fat dairy products, and natural flavor extracts. We do not make Keto cakes at this time. Our Keto cupcakes have approximately 2-5 grams net carbs depending on flavor, though nutrition information may vary due the handmade nature of our products. Please take care in consuming Keto products, and consult a medical professional before starting a Keto diet. We are not responsible for any adverse effects of consuming our products.

Most of our cakes contain either soy ingredients or sprinkles/decor. We can accommodate soy allergies in limited flavors with modified decor by special order. Please note we cannot make our cakes both soy free and dairy free, as our dairy substitutes contain soy.

We do have peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, egg, and dairy ingredients in our bakery. We take care to separate these ingredients and sanitize baking implements between uses. However, we do not have separate ovens for special dietary products, so we cannot 100% guarantee the environment will be free of allergens. Please note we cannot accommodate soy-dairy allergies or corn allergies at this time.
