Creating Your

THE EXPERIENCE

begins now.

The best part of your event planning process

The kind you have to taste to believe.

to believe.

Here, there’s no such thing as scanning a catalog and landing on a variant of Cake #121B. More than two decades of cake artistry has confirmed that our best creative work stems from our most genuine connections. So that’s our aim, right from the start. To get to know you, to understand your story, to wrap ourselves around your hopes and dreams—and spin it all into edible art.

At Fancy Cakes, we start with listening. Always. That’s because we delight in designing original cakes completely inspired by you. (Just see our crazy-diverse portfolio for proof!)

Welcome to “the fun part!” Tasting appointments with Lauren are available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 10 am-2 pm on the hour—please note that weekends are reserved for cake deliveries, which are personally executed by our team to ensure a flawless presentation. During your one-hour appointment at our Dallas showroom, you’ll sample six of our most popular cake flavors, discuss the details of your event, review examples from our portfolio, and begin the design process for your own custom creation.

Our tasting plates serve up to three people. Extra servings can be arranged for an additional fee.

Up next? Bringing the vision to life! We make it easy for you to secure your spot on our calendar by providing you with a client portal immediately following your design appointment. Details such as the cake flavor you’ve chosen, number of servings, and a custom sketch of your cake will all be housed within our system to ensure effortless organization and easy communication. After submitting a deposit within the portal, your date will officially be reserved.

A 20% down payment is required to book all orders, with the remaining balance and any change requests due two weeks before the event.

This is the moment! After reviewing hundreds of options and inspirations, we’ve created a one-of-a-kind cake design that meshes seamlessly with the rest of your event details, yet exudes a star power all its own. Your cake is the gown of your reception—and we treat it as such. Our team personally attends to each display to ensure your cake looks as perfect at your reception as it did when leaving our bakery. If you’ve opted to pair your display cake with a back-of-house cake, we’ll ensure all servings are pre-marked for uniformity and ready for immediate guest enjoyment.

Let's Celebrate

We’ll let you in on a little secret. That “tradition” of freezing the top layer of your wedding cake for future enjoyment? It originated with our British friends across the pond—and the method is only suitable for fruit cakes. Instead of suffering through a mouthful of freezer burn, we’d love to offer you a fresh anniversary cake at a *sweet* price point to celebrate your first year of marriage! And, of course, we’d welcome the opportunity to work with you again for any other special celebrations on the horizon.

“We brought our design ideas to our taste testing with Lauren, and she refined them into a final product that left us completely blown away. The cake was delicious and aesthetically stunning, and everyone at Fancy Cakes was phenomenal to work with from start to finish—

There’s something really important we want you to know. If your cake isn’t a top priority, that’s okay! And we can certainly find an option that suits your needs. But if it is? Well…

Show us your save the dates, your monogrammed dance floor, your linens, your floral selections. Bring us your Pinterest board, your college stadium pictures, your big ideas, your wedding planner. (Your fiance should probably come too.)

“Lauren’s down to earth, witty personality and her creative spirit to even top herself at times set her apart and are why my clients love her. There isn’t a comparison with other companies from a design perspective.”

“No, I didn’t get to meet Gwen Stefani or Blake Shelton. Their wedding planner, Todd Fiscus, had their cake samples flown from Dallas to their ranch in Oklahoma on a helicopter. Melinda and I delivered the cake to their gorgeous home. We were all very quiet as we set up the reception in their backyard. But inside I was going B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Gwen wanted us to recreate her parents’ wedding cake. Todd wanted it as grand as possible. Ta-da! We absolutely loved the layers of meaning in this cake—and with almost 2 million views on social media, I think the rest of the world agreed.”

Most “liked” cake:

“This cake was so tall that the event designer, Nelson at StageWorks, had to build a plexiglass barrier around the cake so the guests wouldn’t walk into it.”

Tallest cake: Hattie & Travis

“Yes. It’s cake. Yes, the oysters are edible—even the shells, which were made from white chocolate. I have a clever staff of artists, and Jesse figured this one out. She created silicone molds from real oyster shells, melted white chocolate into the shell molds, then colored them with edible pigments. Crazy!”

Best mind-bending cake: Oysters
