Tiered/Wedding Cakes — Because we are a small, family-owned bakery, we can only do one tiered cake per weekend, so be sure to call early. We make tiered cakes for 75 servings or fewer, starting at $3.00 per serving. Call 688-5484 to arrange a consultation which we do by appointment on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.

Cheesecakes — We make a variety of flavors in two sizes. Our small cheesecakes ($20) serve about 8-10 and large ones ($32) provide about 16 servings.

Other Desserts

Petit Fours — Nothing perks up a baby shower like petit fours and they're a lot easier to serve than cake! We make our petit fours from our cream cheese pound cake split with lemon, raspberry or vanilla filling. We just need a 3-day notice and direction about how you want them decorated (rosebuds, baby booties, etc.) They're $2.50 each and we have a one dozen minimum for orders during the week.

Iced Sugar Cookies — Our sugar cookies iced with our yummy buttercream are a big hit, especially around the holidays. We can create some especially for you or you're welcome to come check out the ones we have on hand in our case.

Pies — How about a pie? We just need a day's notice to make one especially for you. Our pie flavors include: Double-crust apple, Chocolate chess, Chocolate ice box, Chocolate mousse, French coconut, Fudge turtle torte, German chocolate, Key lime mousse, Lemon ice box, Peanut butter, Pecan and Pumpkin.

Cupcakes — We make white, yellow, and devil’s food cupcakes and can ice them in our icings. If they are just iced, they are $1.50 each. If we tint our white buttercream icing for you, they're $1.75 each. We can also custom decorate your cupcakes beginning at $2 each.

Cookies — Our cookies are $.40 each or a dozen for $4.25. Our choices include thumbprint, chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, snickdoodle, or peanut butter. The thumbprint cookies are by far our most popular and, with advance notice, can br ordered in the colors of your choice.

Brownies — We have 4 types: chocolate iced, rocky road, cream cheese, and congo bars (blonde brownies with chocolate chips, caramel, & pecans). They are $1.75 each or a dozen for $18. They are large enough that we can quarter them to make brownie bites at $0.50 per bite (or $2 per brownie).

Pastries — We have a wide selection including cinnamon rolls, scones, strawberry-cream cheese croissants, muffins, fruit-filled puff pastries, & sticky buns. Give us a day's notice and we can prepare a platter for your breakfast meeting.

There's no charge for an inscription and swirls of color in bright colors or pastels if we choose the colors – if icing colors are specified a $2 charge will be applied per color.

Cake Tinting — Prices for tinting an entire cake are $5 > 8" layer, $5 > 9"x13", $9 > 12"x20"
