Our most popular flavor is vanilla praline. We make caramelized pecans in-house and puree FOOD & DRINK
them into a paste to add to the buttercream and spread between the layers. We also chop up crunchy praline pieces, so you get praline three ways. The finishing touch is the caramel syrup that we add to our brown sugar vanilla cake. It’s perfect for someone who wants a lighter flavor with some rich elements. My personal favorite is our blood orange olive oil cake. This cake was inspired by my time spent studying abroad in Italy at the height of the blood orange season. The cake itself is a citrus almond cake made with olive oil instead of butter. The texture is light and spongy, and the flavor could stand on its own as a coffee cake. We layer it with blood orange curd and citrus praline buttercream and the result is divine. W H AT A R E YO U R M O S T REQUESTED WEDDING CAKE D E S I G N S ?
