1 - Flavors
Flavor First
Flavor is the primary focus of our bakery, and our nearly dozen cake flavors are tastefully complemented by our light, airy icing. Instead of hard fondant or overly sugary buttercream, our light icing provides the perfect balance of flavor and texture as a topper and filling to our cakes. We can suggest combinations that range from traditional to trendy, but you can also get your creative juices flowing with our fancy Large Birthday cake flavor chart. There is something for everyone.

Customer Love
Wow!! I am so impressed with our beautiful and delicious 3 tier white cake with vanilla Bavarian cream and raspberry jam filing! It was light with just the right amount of sweetness and tartness. The cake was so scrumptiously moist too. All our guests loved the cake. This meant so much to us because 80% of our guests were Asian and don't like anything too heavy. Trust me, it's a huge compliment. I was so glad to hear our guests marveling at the beauty and taste of our cake. Thank you so much Patty and your team for making the process so easy and making the perfect cake for our perfect wedding day.

2 - Design
Bringing Your Cake to Life
Your Large Birthday cake will come together with the marriage of our cake flavors, airy, light icing, and your ideas for design. While flavor is the primary focus of our bakery, we are happy to work with you to bring the vision of your Large Birthday cake to life. We have photo galleries for inspiration and welcome you to provide pictures as well. We’re quite sure the collaborative creation of your cake will ultimately leave your guests wanting seconds!
Fondant Free
Many images of Large Birthday cakes found on the internet are made with fondant. They may look fantastic, but they fall short on flavor. This is how Patty’s Cakes is different--you’ll cut our cake with ease and enjoy every bite!

3 - Pricing
Simple Pricing
We keep our pricing as simple as possible. Pricing is math, and we're cake geeks, not math geeks.
Large Birthday Cake Options
Large Birthday cakes are typically three-tiered cakes. Small Large Birthdays usually have two-tiered cakes. Larger Large Birthdays generally require a three, four, or even five-tiered cake, and are often accompanied by a sheet cake for additional servings. Sheet cakes are not displayed with the Large Birthday cake; they are kept in the kitchen and served unbeknownst to the guests. The combined servings from your tiered cake and sheet cake will equal your total headcount. Use the estimator below to figure out what sizes work for your Large Birthday.

Large Birthday Cake Packages
Booked your Large Birthday at a venue where a cake from us is included in your package? You're in the right place. A cake from us is included at no cost, however, you have the option to upgrade your design if you'd like. Designs found in the basic category are included. Upgrades can be found premium and prestige categories. The next step is to schedule a tasting.
Large Birthday Cake Pricing
Guest count, tiered cakes, sheet cakes, delivery, add-ons, and rentals are all factors that determine Large Birthday cake pricing. This estimator is designed to give you an estimate of what those costs are.
Large Birthday Cake Estimator
Instructions:
- Select your cake shape.
- Drag the "tiered cake headcount" slider to match your headcount (example 200).
- Click the box below "To show the estimated total".
- Your estimated total will appear. This would be an estimate for all servings in the tiered cake.
- Want a lower price? Move the “Tiered cake headcount” down (example 50) and move the sheet cake headcount up the same amount. This gives you a new lower total price, and it will serve the same amount of guests. As shown in "Total headcount". Play with these numbers to see your options.

4 - Booking
Booking is Easy
Schedule a cake tasting and we'll walk you through our flavors, designs, and pricing options. Cake tastings within our local delivery range are complimentary. When everything meets your liking, then it’s time to book your event before our schedule is full. An order form and a deposit* and your Large Birthday cake is booked! Seriously, that’s it! (*no deposit is needed if your cake is included in your venue's package. Even easier!)
When Should I Book My Large Birthday Cake?
We sell out every weekend of the year, and some weekends sooner than others. We suggest booking your Large Birthday cake three to six months in advance. Since the reopening from COVID-19, we are booking cakes 3-6 weeks before an event. We have a huge demand for cake tastings so we recommend scheduling a tasting ASAP.
Once booked, we're flexible. Flavors, designs, and headcount can all change up until 14 days prior to your event. Your deposit ensures you have a spot before we sell out. Book a cake tasting ASAP.

Methods of Payment
Payments can be made in the store, over the phone, or online. We accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
Liability Insurance, permits, etc.
If your venue is asking for liability insurance we have you covered. As brick and mortar business we have all the insurance coverage, permits, etc. that they may ask for. Venues typically want specific verbiage on the COI (Certificate of Insurance) so send over what they have and we’ll provide the proper documents. We frequent many local venues so our COI might be on file, which is one less thing for you to deal with. Yay!

Customer Love
Patty’s Cake did an amazing job with my wedding cake. The tasting process made you feel comfortable with your choice, the people are amazing and no other cake shop really compared to them. I have gone back several times to get cupcakes for other occasions and they have always been a big hit. We ended up getting a banana flavored cake and it was AMAZING!
