Since 1997, We Take The Cake has been creating moments of celebration through our handcrafted desserts in Fort Lauderdale. Our bakery began with a simple mission: to help people celebrate, commemorate, appreciate, and send messages of love through the joy of cake.

Our skilled bakers craft every batter and frosting from scratch using traditional hand-mixing techniques. We exclusively use premium ingredients like whole buttermilk, farm-fresh eggs, and real butter, avoiding pre-made mixes and commercial frostings entirely. We understand that elegant presentation matters as much as taste, which is why our team of talented cake artisans takes the time to decorate every cake by hand.
