Everyday Cakes

We’re passionate about making cakes that taste as good as they look: real cake, real buttercream, and our own fondant.

For the best flavor and texture, let chilled buttercream cakes come to room temperature for at least two hours.

Store at room temp for 3 days. Need to store it longer? Refrigerate it.

Dios Torta

We're bringing you our version of another great Hungarian Coffeehouse torte. Pronounced (dee-ohsh), dios means walnut in Hungarian. You'll find many versions of walnut cakes in Hungary, the most famous being the Esterházy cake. Named after Prince Pál Antal Esterházy, it's a walnut almond cake decorated in marbled vanilla and chocolate poured fondant. Our dios torta is a chopped walnut and fresh orange zest cake layered with toasted walnut butter cream. Each torte is covered in a thin layer of fresh vanilla fondant, hand embossed and dusted in gold. For a great Hungarian taste and a special 19th century look, try it out!

24 carrot cake

We peel and grate forty pounds of carrots to make one batch of this cake. All those carrots add an incredible moistness and a fresh sweetness to the cake. Combine them with toasted walnuts and aromatic spices and you get a great cake that's totally delicious on its own. Cover it with a generous amount of cream cheese frosting and it becomes irresistible. Available in 6" and 9" rounds and sheet cakes.

buttermilk cake

The quintessential birthday cake. A dense buttery yellow cake filled with raspberry butter cream and covered in smooth vanilla swiss butter cream. The cake itself has an enticing aroma from the sweet Wisconsin butter and the Guernsey family dairy buttermilk. Lots of our customers like to customize it by ordering it with chocolate butter cream instead. That makes it a classic American dessert. Available in 6" and 9" rounds or sheet cakes.

A modern twist on a Passover Tradition — Sponge Cake! We’ve dressed up this normally tasty but plain dessert and it's so good we're making it beyond Passover. Try our light and lemony sponge cake with lemon curd between the layers and a caramelized meringue exterior. A pretty, flavorful and light ending to a Passover feast. Plus it's wheat free!

While the ingredients of the cake itself are wheat free, it is made at the Bakehouse where we use wheat flour in other products. If your wheat or gluten intolerance is severe, it is suggested you consult with your personal physician before consuming this product.
