Add a Cake Bar
Nearly 15 years ago I was a professional baker making wedding cakes in New York. One of my offerings back then was an interactive Cake Bar rather than a standard cake, giving guests another unforgettable element of an already memorable party.
With a Cake Bar, each guest gets to make their perfect ‘slice’ of cake with their desired toppings, fillings, and flavors.
Let Your Guests Eat Their Artistry
Design Your Cake Bar: Tailor every detail—colors, toppings, and flavors—to match your party’s theme.
Interactive Fun: Guests create their perfect slice with their choice of cake, frosting, and filling.
Memorable Keepsake: To-go containers ensure every guest leaves with a sweet reminder of the celebration.
