Specially-Made Cakes

All of our cakes are made from the original recipes using the best ingredients and no preservatives. We can draw a design or custom decoration from any source, including photos and hand drawings of company logos, personalized caricatures, scene depictions, party themes, children's characters, and more. We can create designs in both two and three dimensions, as well as create relief drawings. All of our designs are hand-made. If you would like, we can create a design or theme especially for you. You can choose from our extensive selection of designs or bring your own ideas.

Give us a call at (650) 326-6282 or stop by our bakery in Menlo Park to speak with a professional baker and designer about your particular cake needs.

All custom decoration charges will be determined at time of pickup.
