We create a delicious memory on one of life's BIGGEST days.

see our process

Styled for

An intimate garden party.  A reception in a grand hotel ballroom.  A tented celebration under the night sky.  We believe your wedding cake should be a centerpiece of the reception, and something that leaves you and all of your guests with a joyous memory of your big day! 

YOU.

Each of our wedding cakes are designed to reflect your individual style for your wedding day.  Whether you already have some ideas in mind or are starting with a blank canvas, we will make the process of designing your cake so fun and stress-free! 

Every cake begins with a sketch! During your design meeting, we will discuss your vision for the wedding and any ideas you have for the cake. Ashley will sketch out a full color rendering of your design, and by the end of the meeting, you will have a keepsake print to frame!  

Your dream cake awaits ...

What do they cost?

Since each of our wedding cakes are individually designed, we do not have a set price list. Pricing is based on several factors including size, complexity of design, and travel distance.  For planning purposes, our cakes are priced from $975.

With it just being the two of us, we take on a very limited number of cakes each weekend. This allows us to devote enough time and attention to detail to make every cake perfect!

What is included?

We deliver and setup each of our wedding cakes personally!  A complimentary cake stand rental is included with each of our cakes, as well as a 6" round anniversary cake to celebrate your first anniversary (so you do not have to save and freeze your top tier like the old tradition!)

We also handle the arrangement of the floral designs on our cakes using the fresh flowers provided by your florist.

Destination Weddings

Ashley Cakes also travels!  We have destination wedding packages available, so please feel free to inquire for pricing.  We have delivered our cakes throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, and beyond!
