The Novel Baker was created from a love of classic technique, editorial design, and the belief that every celebration begins with cake.
Our cakes are rooted in a classic pound style — the kind that has long been part of how we celebrate — refined for today. Paired with an unmistakably airy and addictive buttercream, the result is a cake people return to, talk about, and remember.
The Novel Baker is the work of Alexis DeLuca — a personal approach to cake design, shaped over time and guided by a simple idea: a cake should be as beautiful to taste as it is to behold.
