Have another favorite? We can probably make it for you.
- Swiss Meringue Buttercream: Our signature buttercream is light and creamy, and exceptionally delicious because it is not too sweet. It is made with only sugar, eggs and butter. It can be flavored many different ways, including vanilla, chocolate, fruit, coconut, caramel, coffee, mint, Nutella, nuts, liqueurs, etc.
- Cream Cheese Frosting: Made with real cream cheese, it has a slight tang.
- Oreo: Our own recipe, and a best seller for kids and adults. Chunky oreos cookies in a base that tastes like the filling of an oreo cookie.
- Preserves: Fruit preserves make an excellent filling on their own or can be layered on top of buttercream
- Chocolate Ganache (White, Milk or Dark Chocolate): a dense, creamy version of your favorite chocolate with a truffle-like consistency. They can be subtly flavored, for example, with mint, caramel or coffee for the dark chocolate, or with a fruit such as passion fruit or raspberries for the white chocolate.
- Chocolate Mousse (White, Milk or Dark Chocolate) – a fluffy mouse made with your favorite chocolate.
- Fruit curds: ** Similar in consistency to a pudding, these curds capture the full flavor of the fruit. Lemon, Passion Fruit, Lime, Orange, and some berries
- Pastry cream: ** A custard-like filling
- Cannoli: ** Made with ricotta, mascarpone and chocolate chips, just like your favorite cannoli
- Dulce de Leche / Caramel: ** Two different types of caramel.
- German Chocolate: ** a delicious blend of caramel, coconut and pecans
- Fresh fruit (seasonal): ** Berries can be used inside some cakes, layered on buttercream
Add Ins: A favorite candy, nut or even cookie can be added to a filling. One of our favorites is adding crunchy chocolate “perles” to give extra flavor and texture.
We can also add chopped up pralines (candied pecans) or candied hazelnuts depending upon the cake flavor.
** Not suitable for carved (3-D) cakes
All cakes get a coat of frosting, and we offer only two basic choices:
- Swiss Meringue Buttercream (may be flavored or vanilla)
- White, Milk or Dark Chocolate Ganache (may be plain or flavored)
We can leave the outer layer of your cake as buttercream or ganache, but most of the time, we add a fondant covering. Fondant is a sugar dough that is applied in a thin layer on top of the frosting, and it gives a cake a smooth, polished finish.
