Weddings – Novel Baker

We are so honored to be named in PhillyMag’s Article: Philadelphia’s 22 Most Incredible Cake Bakers for three years in a row!

From unique cakes to the trendiest of confections, let us create your heart's desire!

I see your wedding as the most important “cake” chapter in your life. That’s why each confection created for you is with an “epic novel” passion.

From cracking the first egg to swirling the final frosting, I am inspired by the romantic ambiance of creating the most perfect and stunning cake just for you.

This is why I bake from scratch with premium, mostly organic ingredients, so the taste of your wedding cake naturally becomes an incredible experience for your guests.

The Novel Baker is named for the years spent at Arcadia University pursuing Master’s Degrees in Writing and Literature. Initially, the bakery was founded to help this writer pay off her college loans, but it later developed into a life’s passion. The name is also a double entendre because the cakes are always novel (and delicious).

The Novel Baker, Inc. is inspected, insured, and bakes from an open commercial kitchen with an enchanting cafe area where cookie and cake decorating parties are hosted. So, let’s get to it and start designing your once-in-a-lifetime cake. Contact us to begin your cake adventure!

Cake Tastings

We would love to have you join us for a cake tasting. Most of our clients enjoy selecting a different flavor for each tier. Since the exterior buttercream is white, the visual effect is one cohesive presentation, with the cake offering your guests fabulous flavor choices.

Our buttercream cake pricing begins at $8 per serving, but we use calculations to determine how many servings are required to serve your guests. Rest assured that it is not one slice per guest—the actual number of cake servings needed is much lower than your guest count. We can also help you with favors or welcome gifts with our sweet assortment of Confections.
