Your Wedding Cake, Made Simple
Designing your wedding cake should feel exciting—not overwhelming. Start with the four choices below. We’ll help you refine the details, determine the right size for your guest count, and bring everything together into a cake that feels beautifully suited to your celebration.
1. Choose Your Size and Shape
Your cake can be designed to serve everyone on your guest list or simply act as a beautiful centerpiece alongside additional desserts.
Single Tier / Cutting Cake 12–15 servings
A petite statement cake designed for the ceremonial cake cutting or intimate celebrations.
Two Tiers — approximately 32–55 servings
Perfect for smaller weddings or couples who want a traditional tiered cake without a large footprint.
Three Tiers — approximately 44–85 servings
A classic wedding cake silhouette with several size combinations available depending on your guest count and desired proportions.
Four Tiers — approximately 95–175 servings
Designed for larger celebrations or couples looking for a more substantial statement piece.
Rectangle / Table Runner Cake 32-144 servings
An of-the-moment alternative to traditional tiers, with a sleek low-profile silhouette perfect for statement styling.
You don't need to choose exact tier sizes yourself. Simply tell us your estimated guest count and the overall look you love, and we'll recommend the tier combination that gives you the right balance of servings and proportion.
2. Choose Your Finish
Start with the overall look and texture of your cake. Your finish creates the foundation for the design, from understated and modern to detailed and romantic.
Smooth + Clean
Crisp, smooth buttercream with a polished finish. A timeless choice that works beautifully with florals, minimal details, or statement toppers.
Semi-Naked
A light layer of buttercream allows a hint of cake to show through for a softer, more organic look. Beautiful for garden, rustic, and relaxed celebrations.
Combed + Textured
Fine horizontal lines or subtle combed texture add dimension while keeping the overall design clean and refined.
Concrete
A softly layered, stone-inspired buttercream finish with natural variation and movement. Perfect for a modern, organic aesthetic.
Piped + Vintage
Decorative buttercream piping adds romance, detail, and personality. Choose anything from restrained vintage accents to an abundantly piped statement cake.
3. Choose Your Flavors
Now for the delicious part! Each tier can be created in one of our signature cake flavors, allowing you to keep things beautifully simple or offer guests a little variety.
For single-tier and two-tier cakes:
We recommend choosing one signature flavor for the entire cake.
For three-tier and four-tier cakes:
We recommend choosing two complementary flavors—typically one lighter, brighter option and one richer, more indulgent option. For example:
Something light + fresh: Vanilla-based, fruit-forward, citrus, or other delicate flavors
Something rich + decadent: Chocolate, caramel, Oreo, spice, or other deeper flavors
Choosing two contrasting flavors gives your guests variety without making the cake feel overly complicated.
Can't decide? Tell us the flavors you're drawn to and we'll help you create a pairing that works beautifully together.
4. Choose Your Details
This is where your cake becomes distinctly yours. Choose one detail or layer several together depending on the look you love.
Florals
Fresh or artificial florals can add softness, color, movement, and a connection to the rest of your wedding design. We can source florals or coordinate with your florist when specific varieties or colors are important to the design.
Cake Topper
A personalized topper, monogram, decorative element, ribbon bow, or simple statement detail can create a beautiful focal point.
Piping
Buttercream piping can be added as a subtle accent or used throughout the design for a more ornate, vintage/Lambeth-inspired look.
You don't need to design the finished cake yourself. Choose the elements you love, share your wedding colors and inspiration with us, and we'll take care of bringing them together cohesively.
That's It.
Finish. Size. Flavor. Details. Those four decisions give us everything we need to begin creating your wedding cake.
And if you're unsure about one—or all—of them, that's completely fine. Your inquiry is simply the starting point. We'll guide you through sizing, flavor pairings, proportions, florals, and design so the finished cake feels intentional, beautiful, and completely at home at your wedding.
For base prices and flavor options, please visit our Pricing and Flavors pages. If you'd like to get started, please fill out the Contact Form and we'll be in touch!!!

If your vision calls for something extraordinary, we would love to create it with you.
