Weddings & celebrations

Cakes made to order, a few each month.

Soft buttercream you can see the strokes in, fruit from the same growers we buy from all week, flowers gathered rather than arranged. Nothing here is a fixed product — every cake is written for the day it's going to.

Flavors

A place to start

These are combinations we come back to. Most cakes end up somewhere near one of them, shifted for the season.

  • Olive oil & citrus

    Lemon curd, mascarpone buttercream, candied peel.

  • Brown butter & pear

    Roasted pear, brown sugar buttercream, a little cardamom.

  • Almond & summer berry

    Almond sponge, crushed raspberry, vanilla bean cream.

  • Chocolate & malt

    Dark chocolate cake, malted ganache, salted caramel.

How it goes

  1. 01

    Tell us about the day

    Send the date, the place, roughly how many people, and anything you already have in mind.

  2. 02

    We write back

    Within a few days, with flavor suggestions, a sketch of the cake, and a quote.

  3. 03

    Taste, if you'd like

    Tasting boxes are available for weddings, picked up on a Saturday.

  4. 04

    We bake it that week

    Your cake is made in the days before the event and ready for pickup or local delivery.

Gluten-free cakes are available most of the year.

Ask when you write — we'll tell you honestly what we can do for the date, and whether a full gluten-free cake or a separate tier makes more sense.
