Unlike a bakery, Susan’s Kitchen integrates the cake seamlessly into the larger catering experience—coordinating directly with your planner, venue, and event flow. Whether your wedding is in Manhattan, a Brooklyn warehouse, or a garden venue in Queens, our service adapts to your timeline and theme. Learn more about our full wedding catering services NYC.

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

On the day of your wedding, our logistics team handles refrigeration, secure transportation, and careful cake assembly on-site. We coordinate delivery around your ceremony schedule and work directly with your planner or venue. For high-volume venues or late setups, we assign additional support. Our NYC catering staff for weddings ensures the cake is displayed correctly and served professionally.

Wedding Cake Catering for All NYC Boroughs

Susan’s Kitchen delivers wedding cakes across all five boroughs with precision and reliability. We are familiar with the timing and constraints of each area and adapt our service to your location:

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.

Your Cake. Your Style. Your Moment.

At Susan’s Kitchen Catering and Events, we understand that your wedding cake is more than dessert—it’s a centerpiece, a reflection of your taste, and a shared memory for your guests. Whether you’re planning a minimalist wedding in Manhattan or a glam affair in Brooklyn, our team will craft the cake that fits your vision. From design to delivery, we’re committed to delivering an elevated wedding cake catering experience that’s as seamless as it is delicious.
