Wedding cakes in Birmingham, AL
Baked in our Alabaster kitchen, delivered across the metro, and assembled on site. Tiered cakes travel in pieces and get built at the venue, which is the only way they arrive straight.

Cake and catering
One kitchen, one timeline
A reception normally involves three vendors who have never worked together: the caterer, the baker, and the bar. Cake cutting is the moment that shows. The kitchen is clearing dinner, a separate baker's delivery window has already closed, and nobody is sure who moves the table.
We do all three. The cake arrives with the food, the same lead knows both timelines, and the person you call at 6:40pm when the ceremony runs long is the person who can actually change something.
- One contract for the cake and the reception food.
- One kitchen planning both, so the cake and the menu are built together.
- One number for questions: (659) 222-9200
Finishes
What actually changes the price
Not the flavor. Tiers, finish, and how many hours the design takes by hand.
Buttercream
The Southern default for a reason. It tastes like cake rather than a covering, and it photographs soft. Best value per tier.
Fondant and sugar work
For clean architectural edges and sculpted flowers. More hours by hand, which is what moves the price, not the ingredient.
Naked and semi-naked
Exposed layers with minimal finish. Suits mills, wineries, and barn venues. Less forgiving in August heat, so we plan the delivery window around it.
Groom's cakes and dessert tables
Second cakes, cannoli stations, and dessert spreads when one tiered cake isn't the whole plan.

Questions
Wedding cake questions
How much does a wedding cake cost in Birmingham?
Cost moves on three things: the number of tiers, the finish (buttercream is the most affordable; fondant and hand-sculpted sugar flowers sit at the top), and how much of the design is built by hand rather than piped. We quote each cake instead of publishing a price list. Send your date, guest count, and a couple of inspiration photos and we'll come back with an exact number.
Do you deliver wedding cakes to Birmingham venues?
Yes. We deliver and set up across the Birmingham metro and Shelby County from our Alabaster bakery. Tiered cakes are assembled on site, not carried in finished. Delivery is quoted with the cake.
Can I get the cake and the catering from the same place?
Yes. Cake and wedding catering can sit on one contract, which means one delivery window, one timeline, and one person to call when the ceremony runs long, rather than a baker and a caterer who have never spoken.
How far ahead should I book a wedding cake?
Two to three months ahead for a Saturday in spring or fall. We take shorter runways when the calendar allows, so call (205) 663-4111 and ask rather than assuming the date is gone.
Can we taste the cake before we book?
Yes. We're a working restaurant, so you can eat our food and our bakery's dessert in the dining room in Alabaster before you commit to anything. Cake tastings for booked wedding dates are arranged with your consultation.
Do you do groom's cakes and dessert tables?
Yes: groom's cakes, dessert tables, cannoli stations, and cupcake alternatives. If you want dessert to be more than one cake, say so in the inquiry and we'll price the spread.
