Cakes Made Slowly, for the Days That Matter
Celebration cakes and small-batch baking from a home kitchen in Southeast Portland. Booked a week ahead, always.
Next delivery: Tue, Aug 25
My story
I take a handful of cakes a week and no more, because the alternative is doing them badly. Every one is decorated the day before it goes out, and I would rather turn a Saturday down than hand over something I am not proud of.

A few things that have gone out lately.
What people say after their first cake.
"My daughter asked for a lemon cake with wildflowers on it and Marisol somehow made exactly the thing that was in her head. It tasted even better than it looked."
Ellen K.
"Ordered nine days out for an engagement dinner. She talked me out of the design I asked for and into a better one, which I appreciated more than I expected to."
Dev P.
"Straightforward about what she can and can't do around a gluten allergy. That honesty is why I have ordered three times since."
Ana R.
Questions
The things people ask before a first order. If yours is not here, just message me.
How do I order?
Pick what you'd like and a date on this page and send it over. I'll reply to confirm, and take payment when you collect or when I drop it off.
When do I pay?
Not through the website. I confirm your order first, then take payment on the day: cash, card or transfer, whatever suits you.
How much notice do you need?
Check the date picker on this page. It only shows dates I can still take, so if a date is there, I can make it.
Is your kitchen inspected?
I bake from home under my state's cottage food rules, which is why you'll see the notice on this page. Ask me anything about how I handle and store what I make.
Can you work around allergies?
Tell me what to avoid in the notes when you order and I'll be straight with you about whether I can do it safely. My kitchen isn't allergen-free, so for a serious allergy I'd rather say no than guess.
What if I need to change or cancel?
Message me as early as you can. Before I've started baking it's no trouble at all.
Message me about custom orders, allergies, or anything that doesn't fit the form.
