Cake Size Servings

Our pieces are very generous; you will be able to get more pieces if your guests want "just a small taste." That then allows them to come back for seconds.

Typically, the sheet cakes have only one layer of filling and are easier to cut than the round cakes that have two or three layers of filling. But, if you want those extra layers of filling, then round is the way to go.

However, you can add a third layer to a sheet cake for additional servings (about one third more servings) and an additional cost.

Choose from a Variety of Flavors

Since our cake mixes are made from scratch daily, we don't use any preservatives or additives that are included in a store box mix. We feel this is a good thing. Expect our cakes to have a clean flavor, without an artificial aftertaste. They are light, fluffy, and fork tender. Our recipes strive to preserve the traditional cake recipes that Grandpa made using the highest quality ingredients including eggs, milk, sugar, cake flour and vegetable shortening. Our traditional nature won't allow us to do anything different.

Select One of Our Scrumptuous Fillings

When choosing fillings, cakes filled with the "Basic", "Preserve", and "Creamed" fillings are the easiest to cut and serve.

While Fresh and Frozen fruits are very tasty, these types of filled cakes are more challenging to cut and serve to your guests. Combining several fruits and custard is so delicious, but can often end up being served with a spoon since cutting and serving this combo challenges the most experienced hostess.

We recommend a long, sharp, clean serrated knife and avoid cutting thin slices. If this doesn’t work, don’t worry, the taste is great and you’ve now created a triffle - type dessert. Enjoy!

Sheet cakes (rectangular): 2 layers of cake and 1 spot for filling
Round cakes: 3 or 4 layers of cake and 2 or 3 fillings.
