    My cake designs offer a wide variety of tier sizes and shapes, allowing for endless combinations. If you have a specific vision in mind, I’m happy to collaborate with you to create a custom design that perfectly matches your event.

Schedule a box to pick up at your convenience, or I'm happy to bring it to your consultation. It's a great way to sample a variety of options from the comfort of your own home.
