Custom Cakes

I’m so honored that you’ve chosen to celebrate your wedding, anniversary, christening, or milestone birthday with a show-stopping cake. At The Novel Baker, each custom cake is a one-of-a-kind creation, inspired by your favorite images, colors, themes, and dreams.

We begin with your ideas and vision—then craft something uniquely yours.

The best way to start your cake journey is with a cake tasting. You’ll sample a generous assortment of our cakes and buttercreams—rows and mounds of delicious possibilities! Most clients can’t choose just one (and we don’t expect you to). Many opt for different flavor combinations for each tier, giving your guests a delightful variety.

While our exterior buttercream is typically a clean, elegant white—perfect for a cohesive visual presentation—the inside is a flavorful surprise. When our cakes are beautifully sliced and served at a cake station, guests love choosing from an assortment of their favorite flavors.

Let’s begin your cake adventure today!

Take a peek at our FAQs and Menu, then reach out to start designing your dream cake.

How Much Cake Do I Need?

We use thoughtful planning (and a bit of math!) to help determine how much cake you’ll truly need for your celebration.

Good news: You don’t need one slice per guest. In fact, most clients only require a portion of that! Based on experience, around 20% of guests may skip cake for dietary reasons, and another 20% may opt for other desserts—especially if you’re offering a sweet table or other options.

We’re happy to help you estimate the right number of servings for your event, whether it’s a wedding, birthday, or shower. We also offer custom favors and welcome bag treats—our delicious confections make charming, memorable gifts.

Cake Flavors – Vanilla, Chocolate, Chocolate Chip, Lemon, Almond, Confetti

Buttercream Flavors – Vanilla, Chocolate, Lemon, Almond, Salted Caramel, Mocha, Raspberry, Strawberry, and Cream Cheese

Seasonal Flavors – Caramel Apple, Carrot, Pumpkin, Gingerbread, and Red Velvet
