Full menu

Cake flavors

Devil's food chocolateDark chocolate cake made with cocoa and hot coffee, giving a deep, slightly bittersweet flavor and a very moist, tender crumb.
Red velvetButtermilk cake with a light cocoa note and vivid red color, traditionally layered with tangy cream cheese frosting.
Lemon chiffonAiry oil-based sponge brightened with fresh zest and juice; springy and tangy, a frequent pick for showers and summer weddings.
Almond wedding cakeWhite cake perfumed with almond extract and finely ground almonds, delicate and fragrant, long a classic choice for wedding tiers.

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

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.
American buttercreamWhipped butter and powdered sugar frosting, sweet and fluffy, easy to tint and pipe into borders, rosettes and lettering.
