"Hello... just wanted to write and tell you that the cake you made was AWESOME!!  Everyone at the party could not believe how beautifully it was decorated and how delicious it tasted.  The guests that live in the South Hills area had never had your cake before and thought the cake was delicious and the icing super delicious. Thank you for making such a lovely cake.  You will see me in the fall when I have to come and pick up my yule log!!" email 5/09

Choose a tradtional French buttercream cake, or surprise your guests with a gourmet cake. Any cake can include a message of your choice, roses, Jean-Marc’s fancy scrollwork, or even his coveted white chocolate flowers. When you call — 412.821.8533 — to place your order, you may discuss the details. Advance order is required for all the cakes.  Sometimes an order may be taken one day before, but it’s best to call as soon as you know you want a cake, especially the gourmet cakes.

        

French Buttercream Cakes                                                       
Cake choices are all vanilla, all chocolate or half & half.                               

Iced with vanilla or chocolate french buttercream

Nine-inch round, serves 12–14.

Quarter sheet, serves 15–18. Not available in half & half batter.

Half sheet, serves 35-45.

Full sheet, serves 70-90.

If you are serving the cake the same day, no need to refrigerate.  If you bought the cake a few days in advance, just keep it in the fridge, but pull it out a few hours before and serve it at room temperature.  Since the icing is made of real butter, it tastes best at room temperature.

Gourmet cake tip: If you are ordering a gourmet cake for the first time and you are not sure which flavor to choose, buy a slice of the flavor you are considering. Most gourmet cake varieties are available daily as slices in our storefront.

Refrigeration: If space in the refrigerator is limited, it may help to know that French buttercream cakes do not require refrigeration, and most gourmet cakes do need to be refrigerated.
