Cake Finish Techniques
Our cakes are one of a kind, just like the look and feel of your celebration. We have a variety of finishing ideas with the use of our classically-made, real-butter buttercream, cream cheese, or vegan frostings.
If florals are decorative toppings are involved, we can do clean-and-simple, or an abundant design.
You can offer photo references for what you like on how we can expertly-create with frosting, or see our work for idea-examples and reference.
