Our Wedding Services
Wedding Cake
Wedding cakes often top the list of considerations for couples planning their big day, a tradition dating back to medieval times. Across different cultures, wedding cakes vary in flavor and style, accompanied by varying customs.
Wedding cakes themselves have evolved, featuring designs from rustic naked-iced to elaborate motifs and flavors ranging from classic vanilla or almond to inventive, like spiced apple cider cake with browned butter frosting or colorful confetti.

Allergy Accomodations
We understand the importance of catering to all guests, including those with dietary restrictions. Upon request, we offer options that are gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free, or cater to other specific allergies. All cakes are produced in a kitchen where they may come in contact with or contain eggs, nuts, milk, soy, wheat products, and other allergens.

If there is a known allergy, please advise Artful Cakery by Julie at the time the contract is signed so precautions can be taken. It is the customer’s responsibility to inform guests of the possibilities of allergens in cake.

Begin your journey with a private consultation where you can discuss your vision, themes, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where ideas are welcomed, and guidance is provided to help you select the perfect design, flavors, and details for your cake.
We meet clients at a coffee shop or cafe near them or close to the venue in order to make the consultation as convenient as possible. There is a $40 fee for consultations.
Cupcake Towers
A cupcake tower is a stylish and modern alternative to the traditional wedding cake, offering both visual appeal and a variety of flavors to delight your guests. Imagine a tiered stand, elegantly arranged, where each level is adorned with beautifully decorated cupcakes. These towers can range from a few tiers for intimate gatherings to grand, elaborate structures for larger celebrations.
Each cupcake serves as an individual portion, making it easy for guests to select their preferred flavor without the need for cutting and serving. This not only adds a playful and personalized touch to your wedding dessert but also allows for a greater variety of flavors and decorations, catering to different tastes and dietary preferences.
The centerpiece of the tower can be topped with a small traditional cake, providing the perfect opportunity for the classic cake-cutting ceremony, while the cupcakes below offer a modern twist on sharing your sweetness with friends and family. A cupcake tower not only serves as a dessert but also as a stunning piece of decor, adding to the overall aesthetic and theme of your wedding.
First Anniversary Cake
While some couples prefer to stick with tradition and save the top tier of their wedding cake to eat on their first anniversary, others choose to have a fresh cake the same style and flavor of their wedding’s top tier. We are happy to make this cake a year after your wedding instead of you having to save cake in your packed freezer for an entire year!
