Our Wedding Cake Design Process
Our cakes begin with a consultation where we gather details about your vision, theme, flavor preferences, and guest count. From there, our pastry team drafts sketches and mockups. You'll be invited to sample a curated selection of flavor combinations and frostings. Once approved, we schedule the baking and delivery window to align with your venue schedule. The final cake is assembled on-site by our catering staff. View how we integrate dessert into our build your wedding cake menu.
Popular Wedding Cake Styles and Flavors
We specialize in styles including classic tiered fondant, semi-naked floral cakes, minimalist buttercream, and fully sculpted thematic designs. Our most requested flavors include vanilla bean, lemon lavender, chocolate espresso, strawberry champagne, and earl grey. Custom dietary options like vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free are available on request. For a visual preview of our work, explore our wedding menu samples that include cake presentations.
Logistics: Delivery and Setup

Pairing Cake with Your Full Wedding Menu
Our chefs design cake menus that complement your overall food flow. We consider factors like entrée richness, cocktail profiles, and dessert pairings. For example, a vanilla citrus cake pairs well with seafood-focused entrées and sparkling wines, while a rich chocolate cake suits bourbon cocktails and grilled mains. To assist with planning, explore our curated event catering menus.
Creative Dessert Displays Beyond the Cake
Many couples enhance their wedding cake with interactive or visual dessert elements. We design donut walls, cupcake towers, macaron trees, and grazing tables that complement your primary cake design. These displays serve as both décor and dessert and are handled with the same precision as your main cake. If you're looking to elevate your sweets station, browse our creative catering themes and action stations for inspiration.
Bringing Style to Social Events Around the Wedding
Wedding cake catering isn’t limited to the wedding day. We provide customized cakes and dessert options for engagement parties, bridal showers, and farewell brunches. Whether you're planning a pre-wedding rooftop gathering or an intimate rehearsal dinner, we can coordinate desserts to match the tone of your event. See how our social event catering services integrate cake design with the broader menu.
Need More Than Cake? We Can Help
Our in-house event team also handles décor, timing, and vendor collaboration. From scheduling your cake delivery around floral arrivals to aligning the dessert reveal with your toast or first dance, we bring cohesive structure to every detail. For larger wedding weekends or citywide multi-day events, our professional event planning in NYC ensures your cake—and your entire celebration—runs smoothly.
Enhancing Your Dessert Experience
We offer drop-off options for simpler setups or micro-weddings. Cakes can be delivered fully assembled or in temperature-controlled units depending on venue access. We also offer drop-off dessert platters in NYC that include mini pastries, bars, and cookies to extend the sweetness without needing a full dessert station.
Wedding Cake-Friendly Menu Additions
Our team often recommends pairing smaller cake servings with passed or plated mini desserts for a well-rounded experience. Consider reviewing our wedding cake-friendly party snack menu which includes bite-sized items that pair beautifully with rich or fruity cakes.
Setup-Ready Cake Tables and Display Platters
We also provide hardware and styling elements such as risers, platters, linen-draped tables, and cake-cutting tools. For weddings with a strong visual component, you can select from our full range of display-ready stationary platters to match your aesthetic.
Complementing with Passed Sweets and Beverages
Pair your wedding cake with strategic passed desserts or signature cocktails. Chocolate truffles, espresso-dusted cookies, or citrus mousse shots can extend the flavor story. These small desserts work well during cocktail hour or post-dinner. Explore ideas in our pairings with passed hors d’oeuvres or combine your cake with drinks from our sweet pairings for cocktail tastings.

From design to delivery, we’re committed to delivering an elevated wedding cake catering experience that’s as seamless as it is delicious.
How far in advance should I book a wedding cake in NYC?
We recommend booking your wedding cake at least 3 to 6 months in advance. For peak wedding seasons (spring and fall), early reservations help secure your preferred tasting date and design timeline
Do you offer wedding cake tastings?
Yes, we offer tasting appointments that include a selection of our most popular flavors, fillings, and frostings. Tastings can be customized based on your dietary needs and cake preferences
Can you deliver wedding cakes to venues across all NYC boroughs?
we offer wedding cake delivery and setup throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Our logistics team coordinates delivery time with your venue or planner
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions like gluten-free or vegan cakes?
Absolutely. We can create custom gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, or fully vegan cakes without compromising taste or presentation. Let us know your dietary needs during the consultation.
Do you provide display stands, platters, or cake-cutting tools?
Yes, we offer a full range of display materials including risers, stands, and styled dessert tables. We also provide cake-cutting tools if your venue does not supply them.
What size wedding cake do I need for my guest count?
As a general guideline, a three-tier cake serves about 75 to 100 guests. For larger events, we recommend combining a tiered display cake with sheet cakes for back-of-house slicing to control portions and cost.
Can I customize the cake design to match my wedding theme?
Yes, every wedding cake is fully custom. From color palettes and textures to florals and patterns, we align your cake design with your overall wedding aesthetic.
