Decoration
All cakes are finished with buttercream or cream cheese icing and include a border and simple side designs. Additional details are priced according to the complexity of the design. Additional flavors and combinations, as well as sculpted cakes and cheesecakes are available. Birthday cakes, cupcakes, and other specialty cakes are available in traditional flavors (vanilla, chocolate, etc.) as well as in some of the bride and groom's cake flavors.

Wedding Cake Information
At Bittersweet Cakes and Catering, we work closely with every client, creating a wedding cake to help celebrate one of the most important days of your life. In the initial consultation, we discuss general tone or theme of your event, number of guests expected and flavors for the cake. Next we will set up a tasting of 3-4 flavors selected by you. At this time you also receive a written proposal.
Bittersweet’s cakes are all made from scratch, with the freshest, highest quality of ingredients. Our cakes taste wonderful and are beautifully decorated, unique to your event. Our tiers are 4 ½- 5 " tall, instead of the industry norm of 4". The increased height delivers a more beautiful visual appearance. Each tier of wedding cake consists of 3 layers of cake and 2 layers of filling. This is a pleasant visual effect on the plate, as well as being a delight to the palate. Instead of a large amount of filling in the center of the cake, the flavor is throughout the slice.
A pastry chef from Bittersweet Cakes and Catering will deliver your cake personally to the wedding venue and assemble it on-site and answer any questions you may have. Bittersweet Cakes and Catering will help make this your most cherished and memorable event.
