At We Take The Cake, summer brings vibrant celebrations and the refreshing flavors we all crave during warm weather. Our cakes for summer are made with only the finest ingredients—real butter, fresh eggs, and whole buttermilk—never commercial mixes or pre-made frostings. Through our nationwide delivery service, we bring these seasonal favorites directly to your door, helping you create special summer memories with bright citrus, tropical flavors, and refreshing treats that capture everything we love about the season.
Our Signature Summer Collection
When the weather heats up, we crave desserts that match the season’s energy. Our collection features everything from tangy citrus and sweet berries to tropical coconut and cooling treats. Each cake is carefully decorated by our artisans to create memorable centerpieces for your gatherings. Here are our summer favorites:
- Fresh Strawberry 4-Layer Cake: Four layers of strawberry-flavored cake filled with our signature cream cheese frosting and fresh strawberry slices. Finished with strawberry preserves, white chocolate drips, and shavings, this cake captures summer’s favorite fruit in every bite.

Our Commitment to Quality
Since 1997, We Take The Cake has been creating celebration desserts from our Fort Lauderdale bakery. We’re committed to using premium ingredients—farm-fresh eggs, real butter, and whole buttermilk—to create that authentic homemade taste you remember.
Our recipes have been developed and refined over the years, much like the treasured family recipes that filled your grandmother’s kitchen with wonderful aromas. Our bakers mix all batters and frostings by hand, following traditional methods that give our cakes their distinctive homemade quality that you simply can’t get from mass-produced desserts.
What matters most to us is being part of your important moments—whether that’s a holiday celebration, family gathering, or sending something special to loved ones far away. We take pride in creating desserts that help make those occasions memorable.
