Congratulations are
in order!
From fully custom cakes to dreamy dessert tables to our darling cupcake cart, The Cakery on First offers beautiful and delicious ways to help you throw the most memorable party ever.
This calls for cake!
The Cakery on First offers fully custom wedding cakes in three beautifully distinct design styles.
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.
Custom 6” single tier cutting cakes from $275
Vintage
Lambeth
Regal and elegant. The Lambeth Method is a 19th century piping technique made popular by 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. The Lambeth technique requires a fondant-covered cake. Less intricate designs can be made on a buttercream cake.
Custom 6” single tier cutting cakes from $275
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.

More about our complimentary offerings:
-
Everyone’s favorite. Any of the flavors on our cupcake menu can be ordered by the dozen for weddings and special events. Up the wow factor by springing for custom-color, house-made sprinkles over playful buttercream ruffles or a garden of buttercream flower-topped cupcakes to match your cake.
-
Our dessert offerings are inspired by our much-loved farmers market table. Choose from bite-size whimsies like mini s’mores cakes, berry trifle cups with lemon creme, and itty bitty salted caramel ganache tarts. Or go with a market-favorite like our heirloom sugar cookies adorned with buttercream flowers, brown butter financiers (naturally gluten-free), or the cutest mini oatmeal cream pies. Send us a request through the form below and we’ll send you our current menu.

Answers to frequently asked custom cake & dessert table questions
WHEN SHOULD I PLACE MY ORDER?
We book custom wedding orders up to six months in advance. Events may be booked more than six months in advance with a $2000 minimum order. Because we are a small operation, we take on no more than two (three at most) custom wedding orders each month during our summer market season. Once you have chosen your date and booked your venue, please reach out.
ARE THERE ORDER MINIMUMS?
For tiered cakes, a minimum order of $500 is required for Sunday-Friday weddings. For Saturday weddings, the order minimum is $750. 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 CUTTING CAKE?
We often recommend our semi-custom buttercream floral cakes (ordered easily on the Layer Cakes page) to couples that are flexible on design, on a budget, and simply looking for a small celebratory cake to cut. These cakes can be easily ordered online through our website and picked up at our shop downtown. Custom variations on our three design styles are also available as single-tier cakes starting at the pricing listed above.
WILL YOU DELIVER MY ORDER?
Delivery and setup of your cake is available for all custom and/or tiered cakes within Sandpoint city limits. Delivery outside of this range or for other items may be available for an additional fee. Once your cake is picked up or delivered it becomes (your or) the responsibility of the venue. It is important that your cake be kept away from heat and direct sunlight. When it’s time for service your caterer will slice and serve your cake.
DO YOU OFFER CAKE TASTINGS?
Yes! Our tasting boxes are available in May 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. Orders must be placed by April 15.
WHAT CAKE FLAVORS ARE AVAILABLE?
Unless otherwise noted, custom cakes are available in any of the buttercream layer cake flavor combinations listed on our layer cakes page.
WHAT DOES YOUR 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.
CAN YOU MAKE A CAKE THAT LOOKS LIKE THE ONE I FOUND ON PINTEREST?
We think it’s best to stick with what we’re good at (i.e. the styles pictured above.) To make sure you get the cake of your dreams, if your desired cake design falls outside of our general wheelhouse, we’ll likely suggest finding a local baker that specializes in that particular style.
WHAT IF I WANT TO DO CUPCAKES?
We love cupcakes for any event. Choose from any of the options on our standard menu or go for a custom design. Buttercream florals are particularly well-suited to wedding cupcakes.
MY WEDDING/EVENT IS IN WASHINGTON/MONTANA/OUTSIDE OF IDAHO. CAN I STILL ORDER FROM YOU?
Absolutely. We’re happy to provide estimates for out-of-state events.
