Flavor List
This list includes our most common flavors, but it’s not exhaustive. If you’re looking for something you don’t see here, let us know! We’re all about trying new things! We are also happy to give suggestions for flavors based on your flavor preferences and dietary considerations, so please feel free to ask for guidance if you’re overwhelmed by the options!
Cake flavor, filling flavor, frosting flavor-how does this work?
First, choose your cake flavor. This can be chocolate, vanilla, almond, red velvet, carrot, etc.
Second, choose your filling flavor. This filling will go in between the two layers of cake that make up each tier of our cakes. You won’t see the filling from the outside, but it adds a delightful pop of flavor to the cake.
Third, choose your frosting flavor. Bear in mind that we can flavor our buttercream differently, and also offer chocolate fudge frosting, cream cheese frosting, caramel frosting, etc. This will be visible on the outside of the cake, so if you want a specific color, we suggest choosing our Russian or fluffy American buttercream varieties so that the color reads well.

Filling Flavors
Graham cracker cream~ This filling is unexpectedly wonderful. You can pair it with vanilla for a lightly spiced cookie flavor, or you can pair it with chocolate and marshmallow fluff for a cake that brings back memories of s’mores around the campfire. (Can’t be GF.)
Italian buttercream~ Silky in texture with a rich vanilla flavor and a subtle sweetness, our Italian buttercream tastes like no other buttercream and complements our cakes perfectly. Because it contains so much vanilla, our Italian buttercream has a natural ivory color, so if you need bright white, go for our Russian or American buttercream. We can make this V, DF, or EF!
Kahlua buttercream (specialty)~ Contains alcohol. (Can’t be V, DF.)
Lemon curd (specialty)~ Homemade lemon curd, which tastes particularly luscious with fresh red berries or blueberries. (We can make this vegan, although for some reason it tends to be green rather than yellow when it’s vegan.)
Mascarpone (specialty)~ A soft, mildly sweet Italian cheese, mascarpone is especially lovely with fresh raspberries or other fruit. (Can’t be V, DF.)
Mint buttercream~ Our Russian buttercream with mint blended in. We can also flavor cream cheese frosting with mint if you love meltaway mints and want to emulate that flavor.
Orange buttercream~ Another flavored Russian buttercream, this is a white buttercream flavored orange, not dyed.
