We're a home-based bakery located in Brighton, Colorado. All cakes are made fresh in our licensed home kitchen. We offer pickup from our Brighton location or statewide delivery throughout Colorado.
Currently, we do not offer gluten-free, vegan, or other specialized dietary options, but we are exploring these possibilities for the future. All our cakes contain common allergens including wheat, eggs, dairy, and may contain nuts. Please see our allergen disclaimer below for more details.
We recommend ordering at least 2-3 weeks in advance for custom cakes, especially during busy seasons (spring and summer). For simple designs, we may be able to accommodate orders with 1 week notice. Rush orders with 48+ hours notice are available for an additional fee. Wedding cakes should be booked 2-3 months ahead.
Our top sellers are Red Velvet with cream cheese filling, Dark Chocolate with raspberry filling, Funfetti with vanilla buttercream (a kids' favorite!), and Strawberry with strawberry compote. But with 24 cake flavors and 18 filling options, the combinations are endless! Check out our Flavors page to explore all options.
Orders can be cancelled up to 7 days before the pickup/delivery date for a full refund. Cancellations made 3-6 days before are eligible for a 50% refund. Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds for cancellations made less than 72 hours before your event, as ingredients have already been purchased and prep work has begun.
We offer tasting boxes for wedding cake orders only. Our tasting box includes 6 cupcakes featuring different flavor and filling combinations. This tasting fee is credited toward your wedding cake order. For other events, we encourage you to view our detailed flavor descriptions on our Flavors page.
Cakes with buttercream frosting can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Cakes with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or cream cheese fillings must be refrigerated. All cakes can be refrigerated for up to 5 days—just bring to room temperature 1-2 hours before serving for the best flavor and texture.
