Our Happy Birthday Cake Collection
Choose from four delicious birthday cake options, each handcrafted with premium ingredients and decorated by talented cake artisans. Every cake features four decadent layers measuring 6 inches in diameter and 4 inches tall, perfectly serving 8-10 people.
- Golden Butter Vanilla Birthday Cake: Combines rich, buttery vanilla cake layers with smooth vanilla buttercream frosting. Hand-piped colorful details create a festive appearance that matches the delightful taste inside.
- Prize-Winning Chocolate Birthday Cake: This has been a customer favorite since 1997. This indulgent chocolate buttermilk cake pairs beautifully with our signature chocolate cream cheese frosting, creating the perfect centerpiece for chocolate lovers.
- Gluten-Free Golden Butter Vanilla Birthday Cake: Delivers all the classic vanilla cake flavor without gluten. Moist cake layers filled with vanilla buttercream and decorated with bright, festive designs prove that gluten-free can taste incredible.
- Gluten-Free Chocolate Birthday Cake: Satisfies chocolate cravings while accommodating dietary needs. Rich, moist gluten-free chocolate cake layered with our signature chocolate cream cheese frosting creates an indulgent birthday experience.
Each cake includes a “Happy Birthday” plaque, candles for the celebration, and arrives in a beautiful branded gift box. Our bakers mix all batters and frostings by hand using whole buttermilk, fresh eggs, and real butter—never cake mixes or pre-made frostings.

Pricing & Storage Instructions
All birthday cakes ship nationwide for $89.95 with free standard shipping included.
Store your birthday cake in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months. For the best flavor and texture, allow frozen cakes to reach room temperature for 2-3 hours before serving. Create clean, professional-looking slices by warming your knife blade under hot water, drying thoroughly, and wiping clean between cuts. Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator, then let it return to room temperature before enjoying again.
