Deborah's Specialty Cakes

This cake was very simple, but the custom cake topper was more complicated! Made from a real picture frame, it features handmade polymer clay tomatoes on a clay and wire vine that broke the plane of the frame to drape down the side of the cake. It was a challenge, but we loved how personalized it was for the couple.
If you were designing a cake that had elements from your life and your partner's life, what would you want to incorporate? Would you order one for a wedding anniversary, or would you be more inclined to recreate your original wedding cake?

Hi friends!
We have a beautiful winter cake that needs a home! She's apple spice (with real apples in the batter) and filled with homemade caramel, frosted in our signature Italian meringue buttercream. We can add festive sprinkles or a soft spill of edible glitter to personalize it for you. (We also have some lovely gold cake picks with happy birthday messages, if it's for a birthday!) This cake would usually be $80 plus tax, but we're offering it for $68 total. If you're interested in picking it up for a holiday gathering, please message us here and we'll take payment and set up an appointment time for you to pick it up.
