Our Story

Hand-crafted in small batches,
always.

Stephanie started baking at her grandmother's kitchen table — measuring flour into a porcelain bowl, learning that patience is the only true shortcut.

Today, every cake leaves her studio in the same way: hand-piped, slowly, by one pair of hands. No commercial molds. No shortcuts.

“I take on a small handful of cakes each week — that way every single one feels like the only one.”— Stephanie, Founder & Pastry Chef
The Process

From your message
to your celebration.

01

Tell us what you need.

Send a message with the date, the occasion, and any photos you love. Most messages get a same-day reply.

02

Pick your design.

Share photos, color schemes, or even an edible image you want printed on top — or just describe what you're picturing. Stephanie confirms flavor, size, and price.

03

The build.

Stephanie bakes, fills, and decorates by hand the day before your event — so the cake is fresh when you pick it up.

04

Pickup, made simple.

Most cakes are picked up. When yours is ready, you'll get a text with the exact address and a Google Maps pin — no guessing between houses. Local delivery available on request.

From Real Customers

The notes that came with the Venmos.

Stephanie doesn't ask for reviews. These are the messages real customers wrote when they paid for their cakes — because they couldn't help themselves.

Good to Know

Questions, answered.

Stephanie needs at least 7 days' notice to bake your cake — longer for tiered cakes, weddings, or quinceañera cakes (those usually need 2–3 weeks).

She doesn't take last-minute orders, but if you have a tight timeline that's still over a week out, mention it in the notes and she'll do her best.

Yes, please do. Photos are the easiest way to show what you're picturing — colors, style, decoration, all of it. You can also send color schemes, Pinterest boards, or even edible images you'd like printed on top of the cake.

If you have no idea what you want? Tell Stephanie the occasion and the vibe. She'll come back with ideas.

Pricing depends on the size, the design, and the amount of detail involved. A simple buttercream 8-inch cake costs less than a fondant-covered tiered cake with hand-piped sugar flowers, even if they're the same size.

Once you send a request, Stephanie reviews the design and confirms the final price before any work starts. No surprises.

Pickup is in San Antonio, TX. Stephanie sometimes hands cakes off at her home and sometimes at her mom's place across the street — it depends on the day.

When your cake is ready, you'll get a text with the exact address and a Google Maps pin. You'll never have to guess where to go.

Yes — local delivery is available on request, especially for tiered cakes that shouldn't travel in a regular car. Delivery starts at $30 and the exact fee depends on distance. Mention it on your order form and Stephanie will confirm the delivery cost with your quote.

Mention any allergies or restrictions in the notes field of your order. Stephanie's kitchen is not certified allergen-free, but she takes serious precautions and is happy to discuss what's possible (gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free swaps, etc.) on a per-cake basis.

Stephanie accepts Venmo, Cash App, or cash at pickup. For most cakes there's no deposit — just pay the full amount when you pick it up.

Wedding and quinceañera cakes are the exception: those require a deposit when the order is confirmed, with the balance due before pickup.

Yes — Stephanie offers cupcakes by the dozen ($15/dozen starting). She'll often make them as matching favors for a cake order, or on their own. Just pick “Cupcakes (per dozen)” on the size step.
