Autumn, cake bloom style. 🍰 🌼 🍂
Here’s a little smattering of some big days from this past week.
From birthdays to weddings to cake club and more, we’re right in the midst of our fall silly season with Woodland Apple and PSL on repeat, and it smells and tastes so good. 🥰
FYI, our fall Seasonals will be on the menu through November, if you want to get a jump on Scorpio season bdays and turkey-day cakes! 🦃
More good stuff for the holidays coming soon!

Love letter to our longboards. 💘
In case you’re new here and looking for a last-minute, whole cake, we often have a couple of these linear cakes in the case. We love them because they offer a fresh, modern take on traditional birthday cakes, and they are more manageable in our peak season periods from a production standpoint because they come from the same sheet as our slices. ☺️

Also, they make such a lovely centerpiece adorned in fresh or pressed flowers, am I right?

We offer them regularly in the case (and to our shipping customers) in our smallest size (serving ~8-12), but we also do bigger sizes like our “Extra Long Longboards” up to 5’ feet long for weddings and such for a really epic display. Just FYI. 😉

Today, for any forgotten bdays and last-minutes needs, we have our smallest party size (8-12 svgs) in our Golden Vanilla (Susan’s favorite) and Simply Lemon (Elizabeth’s favorite) in the case that we can pipe/adorn to your heart’s content.

Give us a ring to snag before they’re gone (434-328-8130) or just stop in! We’re open today, 12-6 pm.

Stay cozy, Cville and we hope to see you soon!

Somehow tomorrow is October 1st 😱, so here’s a little sneak preview of some good and ghoulish things in store for next month… 🎃

Tomorrow, our 4th annual Halloween “Witches Tea” and Día de los Mu***os cake decorating workshop go on sale, so be sure and keep an eye out as space will be very limited in both! 👻

We’ll also be bringing back some offerings near and dear to our heart to help support the fight against breast cancer. 🎀

We look forward to celebrating all the things with you, all month long.

For now, we’re off to the Pen Park farmers market today, 3-7 pm, so come see us and make this gorgeous day even sweeter. We’ll have a special *new* Chai Spice cake with walnut praline and our famous Halva torte in rotation, along with our fall seasonals, french macarons, cake parfaits, popovers, Olive Oil Granola and more!

Happy fall, y’all. 🍁

It’s impossible to choose a favorite from September, but it’s safe to say that we’re really proud of what we’re putting out in the world and having so much fun making each order extra special in whatever way that means for you.

Whether we were baking to celebrate 103 years (!!!), customizing wedding cakes down to the petal or taking part in a couples’ gender reveal, we know every cake holds meaning–and often a lot of emotion–and we’re always touched when you share the stories and events they’ll be a part of–so please keep sharing! It brightens our days more than you’ll ever know. 🥰

Behind the scenes, we’ve been playing with our food quite a lot and feeling all kinds of creative momentum, so stay tuned for some exciting new things coming from our kitchen team. 😊
Speaking of, swipe to the end for a workshop teaser that may/may not be live by October 1st. 💀 🌼 🌺
Endless thanks again for letting us do what we love and for cheering us on with every order and kind word. For small business, it really matters. 💘

Much love, your favorite cake ladies 👯‍♀️

🍎Fall Flavor Highlight:

Woodland Apple!🍎

This is a love letter to one of our favorite fall seasonals: Woodland Apple.

With the leaves slowly changing and spooky season approaching, we can find comfort in a little treat for chilly fall days. Our Woodland Apple party cake features a brown sugar spice cake filled with tart, shredded apple, layers of maple-scented Candy Cap cream cheese frosting, and a final layer of brown sugar buttercream. Topped off with house made granola and mushroom shaped meringues to add that last touch of woodland whimsy.

Woodland Apple is available in whole cakes (https://cakebloom.com/products/woodlandapple) , longboards (https://cakebloom.com/products/longboard-local?variant=48512809107661) , special occasion cakes (https://cakebloom.com/collections/special-occasion-cakes) , and by the slice (https://cakebloom.com/collections/slices-bites/products/8-slice-samplers) all season long.

Fall-ing in love with it like we are?
Order now through the end of November!

Missing our Halva Torte?

IT'S BACK THROUGH DECEMBER!

This decadent layer cake features crunchy meringue, dark chocolate ganache, salted pistachios, tahini buttercream and fudgy crumbles of halva, a sweet, nutty and flaky Middle Eastern confection made with ground sesame seeds.

Did we mention, it's gluten-free?

Available now for pre-order in whole cakes online.
Slices available in store on Saturdays.
