Designing Your Custom Cake

Choose Your Size

Whether you are feeding 8 people or 80, we have cake sizes to fit your needs! When deciding on a size, keep in mind that our cake servings are liberally estimated so you’ll get more slices if your guests want “just a sliver.”

For information about Tiered Cakes, visit our Wedding Cake Sizes, Cakes, & Fillings page.

Choose Your Cake Flavor

Each of our delicate doughs is light, fluffy, and fork tender, containing no additives or preservatives. We follow Grandpa’s original cake recipes, using the highest quality ingredients including eggs, milk, sugar, cake flour, and vegetable shortening.

Yellow: One of our most popular doughs, this is a buttery and moist cake with a touch of lemon to brighten the flavor

Devil's Food: Not too dark, enjoy a medium cocoa flavored cake that's light and tender

Half & Half: Can't decide between yellow and chocolate? Get a layer of each!

White: A firm yet tender dough with a pure vanilla flavor

Marble: White & devil’s food cake batters swirled together for a random blend of vanilla and chocolate

Funfetti: Our delicious vanilla white cake freckled with colorful sprinkles

Graham Cracker: Graham crumbs & honey swirled into our cake mix create a warm, slightly sweet flavor

Banana: Real mashed bananas are mixed into the batter for an authentic, moist banana cake

Red Velvet: Moist, reddish colored cake with notes of chocolate

Carrot: Ground carrots, chopped pecans, crushed pineapple, and a dash of spice combine for this classic cake

Angel Food: Made with whipped egg whites and no yolks, this delicate dough is fluffy & sweet

Choose Your Filling

When deciding on a filling, please note that cakes with Classic Fillings, Preserves, and Flavored Creams are the easiest to cut and serve. Fruit fillings have a tendency to fall apart when you cut them. Use a long, sharp, clean serrated knife and avoid cutting thin slices. Even if the pieces get a bit messy — don’t worry— the taste is still great!

Coconut Cake Crunch

Our homemade Coconut Cake Crunch is used on whipped cream iced cakes, as well as large buttercream iced sheet cakes. It has a slightly sweet coconut flavor and adds a bit of texture to the cake. For those concerned about allergens, cake crunch may contain trace amounts of nuts. Substitutions are available so please inquire about alternatives if you have allergy or taste concerns.

A European Touch

Liqueurs add an extra burst of flavor when drizzled over your cake layers, and they're especially delicious when blended with whipped cream!
