Artfully Designed Wedding Cakes
Based in Grand Rapids, I create one-of-a-kind wedding cakes that feel art-driven and cohesive within the celebration. Each design is shaped by your setting, with premium ingredients and a clear design focus guiding every detail. I accept a limited number of commissions each season to preserve the care and craftsmanship behind each piece.
Serving West Michigan
About My Approach
Every wedding cake I create begins with the atmosphere of your celebration. I consider the feeling and overall mood of the day, then translate it into venue, florals, palette, and styling so the cake feels integrated into the experience rather than standing apart from it.
Design & Ingredients
Flavor is developed with the same level of care as the exterior. I focus on balanced structure, premium ingredients, and a considered approach to texture and detail so the cake tastes as memorable as it looks.
Service Area
Based in Grand Rapids, MI, I serve weddings across West Michigan. Select travel across Michigan may be available depending on date, scope, and logistics.
Booking & availability
I recommend reaching out once your date and venue are confirmed. Peak-season weekends book in advance, and booking early allows time for consultation, tasting, and design refinement.

A $200 retainer is required to reserve your date and will be applied toward your final balance. After your design details are gathered, I’ll send a proposal with your total investment. A signed contract and a 50% payment are then required, with the remaining balance due no later than 4 weeks before delivery.
-
Yes. Private tastings are available once your wedding date is reserved with me. You’ll receive a selection of signature flavors. Tastings are offered as an optional add-on for $100, by appointment, and are often scheduled alongside your design consultation.
-
Once your date is reserved, you’ll complete a cake design questionnaire. We’ll then meet for a design consultation to discuss inspiration and overall direction. From there, I’ll develop your concept. Your final sketch and full design proposal are shared after your contract and initial payment are complete.
-
The design consultation takes place once your style details and floral themes are confirmed.
-
Absolutely. Inspiration is always welcome, whether it’s a mood board, stationery, florals, venue details, or personal heirlooms. While I don’t replicate cakes, I’ll use what you share to develop a design that feels original and fitting for your celebration.
-
Certainly. I love working with your floral palette, stationery design, bridal fashion, and venue atmosphere to create something cohesive and fitting for the day. Share anything that helps define the aesthetic. A swatch, a mood board, or even a poem. I’ll draw from it during design.

I specialize in commissioned wedding cakes designed to complement your venue, florals, and overall aesthetic. Each cake is crafted with elevated ingredients and a clear design focus, balancing visual artistry with memorable flavor.

Wedding cakes also require careful transport and on-site setup to ensure the final presentation is placed with care.
-
Yes. Cutting cakes, sheet cakes, or cupcakes can be provided as part of a wedding cake commission that meets my $1,000 minimum. I do not offer stand-alone cutting cake orders, as my focus is on complete wedding cake designs. Faux tiers may be incorporated on a case-by-case basis when they support the overall design and presentation. I do not provide dessert items beyond cake. You are welcome to hire a separate dessert vendor, with the understanding that I am the only cake provider. Additional desserts must be displayed separately from the cake.
-
Yes. I offer select keto, dairy-free, egg-free, and vegan options. My kitchen is not a dedicated allergen-free facility, so these are best suited for dietary preferences rather than strict medical requirements, as cross-contamination cannot be eliminated. Please note any dietary needs in your inquiry so we can explore what’s possible.
-
Yes. Wedding cakes require delivery so they arrive safely and are set up with care. Delivery is available throughout West Michigan and select locations beyond the region, with fees quoted based on distance, cake size, and logistics.
-
I take every precaution to ensure your cake is delivered and set up with care. In the rare case something unexpected occurs, I will communicate promptly with your planner or venue team and take appropriate steps to support a smooth resolution.
-
That’s perfectly okay. Many couples reserve their date before every detail is finalized. The retainer holds your place on my calendar, and we’ll refine design, flavors, and finishing details during the design phase. The process is designed to feel clear and guided, never rushed.
