From fully custom cakes to dessert tables
to our new cupcake cart, The Cakery on First offers a handful of ways
to help you throw the most memorable party ever.
The Cakery’s newest darling, The Cupcake Cart, is available to rent for weddings, parties, and corporate events. We love it adorned with cupcakes of course, but it makes the perfect back drop for a custom dessert table too.
A fun and impressive way to welcome your guests, dessert tables can stand alone or compliment a centerpiece cake. Choose from items on our dedicated dessert table menu or our seasonal farmers market menu.
Custom cakes are available in traditional multi-tiered style or as single-tier cutting cakes for weddings, showers, birthdays or any other special occasion you may be celebrating. We offer three styles: vintage Lambeth, hand-crafted sugar flowers, or piped buttercream florals. See details below.
Vintage Lambeth
Regal and elegant. The Lambeth Method is a 19th century piping technique made popular by influential English pastry chef Joseph Lambeth and historically beloved by British royalty. Royal icing is used to create layer upon layer of delicate pattern resulting in intricate depth and a captivating overall presentation. It makes for a particularly stunning white-on-white cake. The Lambeth technique requires a fondant-covered cake. Less intricate design may be available as a buttercream cake.
Tiered cakes from $14/slice
Single tier cutting cakes from $355
Sugar Flowers
Lush and romantic. With each petal rolled, cut, and shaped by hand from homemade sugar paste, sugar flowers are a labor of love that last virtually forever. We recommend displaying them after the wedding either in a vase or under a cloche as a beautiful keepsake from your day. Each finished piece is gently accentuated with petal dust to bring life and depth. As with Lambeth, sugar flowers require a fondant-covered cake.
Tiered cakes from $21/slice
Single tier cutting cakes from $510
Buttercream Florals
Whimsical and sweet. Buttercream florals are a visual feast with each petal piped individually using the same ethereal Swiss meringue buttercream we use to fill and frost our cakes. Bouquets are accented with painterly palette-knife brushstrokes. Full of life and texture, this technique accommodates virtually any color scheme beautifully. Buttercream floralscapes are applied to a buttercream-covered cake.

Answers to frequently asked custom cake & dessert table questions
When should I place my order?
When it comes to weddings and events, earlier is always better. Because we are a small operation, we take on no more than two (three at most) wedding cakes each month. Once you have chosen your date and booked your venue, please reach out.
Are their order minimums?
For tiered cakes, a minimum order of $500 is required for Sunday-Friday weddings. For Saturday weddings, the order minimum is $700. Starting prices for custom single-tier cutting cakes are listed above. Minimums do not include tax or delivery.
What if I just want a small cake for cutting?
We often recommend our semi-custom buttercream floral cakes (ordered easily on the Layer Cakes page) to couples that are flexible on design and simply looking for a small cake to cut.
Will you deliver my order?
Delivery and setup of your cake is available for all tiered cakes within a 10 mile radius of 83864. Delivery outside of this range is available for an additional fee. Single tier cutting cakes may be picked up at our S 1st Ave kitchen location or at our retail pick up partner, The Pickled Kitchen. Once your cake is delivered it becomes the responsibility of the venue. It is important that your cake be kept away from heat and direct sunlight and we will work with your venue to identify a suitable location for the cake table if necessary. When it’s time for service your caterer will slice and serve your cake.
For dessert tables, you’ve got options. Pick up is always free. For an additional fee you can opt for a “bake and drop” where we deliver the goods and you set them up at your leisure. Your third option is to hire us to deliver your items and provide complete set-up of the table.
Do you offer tastings?
Yes! Our tasting boxes are available twice a year and are priced at $75. You may choose up to three flavors to include in your tasting box. Additional flavors may be added for $25 each.
What cake flavors are available?
Unless otherwise noted, custom cakes are available in any of the cake flavor combinations listed on our layer cakes page.
What does your cake design process look like?
For custom cakes, our design process begins when you fill out the form below and indicate which of our three design styles you’re most drawn to. From there we will discuss the other design elements included in your day from color schemes to the design of your dress to the flowers you’ve chosen. You’ll receive 2 first-round sketches to choose from and from there we will finalize the details.
How about for dessert tables?
We love dreaming up the perfect combination of sweets for an event and we take every aspect into account from variety of flavor to the cohesive visual presentation. We’ll start by sending you our dessert table menu which includes a curated selection of desserts but any item listed on our market, holiday, or layer cake menu can be a part of a custom dessert table so you’re also free to dream up your own combination of sweets.
Your cakes are lovely but I’m looking for something a little different than what you have pictured. Can you make a cake like the one I found on Pinterest?
We think it’s best to stick with what we’re good at. To make sure you get the cake of your dreams, if your desired cake design falls outside of our wheelhouse, we’ll likely suggest finding a baker that specializes in that particular style.
What if I want to do cupcakes?
We love cupcakes for any event. Buttercream florals are particularly well-suited to cupcakes.
My wedding/event is in Washington/Montana/Wyoming/somewhere else far away. Can I still order from you?
Absolutely. We’re happy to provide estimates for out-of-state events.
Can you make my cake gluten and dairy free?
Unless otherwise noted, any of our buttercream layer cake offerings can be made gluten-free . All of our frostings and most of our fillings contain dairy and unfortunately cannot be substituted.
