About


CAKEWORK was created in 1985 when a background in sculpting met a passion for baking. Our cakes have been widely published in major wedding books and magazines, and we have been featured on The Food Network, The Today Show and all of our local television networks. Cakework is known across the country for producing masterful and innovative works of art and we are always stretching to create a contemporary slant on cake design.

Lifelike delicate flowers are sculpted petal by petal in white chocolate, sugar bubbles are hand blown to order, color swatches are matched to perfection, and new ideas are always welcome.

ALL OF OUR CAKES ARE WRAPPED AND DECORATED IN CHOCOLATE. White Chocolate is typically what we use to wrap our cakes and it can be tinted to match any shade. We also work with dark chocolate or poured ganache glaze. We can customize a design tailored to your theme whether it is simple and sophisticated, wild and whimsical, or spectacular and glamorous.

Endorsements
Cecile is an amazing artist. When I first walked into her studio, I was impressed at her gorgeous cake displays. They were all so beautiful and unique. On one of my visits with a client, I watched how Cecile sketched out the cake as my client described in detail her vision: she got it right on the first rendition! Her cakes are not only beautiful, but they taste great. She is very detailed and service oriented and she will always put her customer first – she’s definitely tops on my list.

Frequently Asked Questions for Wedding Cake
Do you offer private tastings or open house tastings?
We do tastings in our shop.
 
What are your tasting hours?
The hours for our tastings are posted on the ABOUT page on our website.
 
Describe how you price, such as by slice or by tier, for your cakes?
Our wedding cakes start at $10.00 per slice and the pricing is based on the design elements of each cake.
 
Does the price include the top tier of the cake?
The top tier is included in the number of guests the couple is serving.
 
Do you offer custom cakes, or do you work with pre-designed styles?
We are a custom design bakery and all of our innovative designs are newly created for each event. We do not duplicate the work of other designers, but can put our twist on a design to tailor it in our style.
 
What (if any) special ingredients, such as fresh fruits or farm-fresh butter, do you use in your cakes?
We use the freshest ingredients on the market. We make everything from scratch so you can taste the individual components of each flavor. All of our cakes are entirely wrapped and decorated with chocolate.
 
On average, how far in advance of the event do you prepare the cake?
We work on parts of the cake all week, so it is a 3-4 day process.
 
How many cakes do you schedule for a typical weekend?
We never do more than we can handle. The number depends on how elaborate the details are, the size of each cake and the travel time to each of the venues. Generally we do 4-6 wedding cakes a weekend, along with many smaller occasion cakes.
 
Will you work with the client's florist to garnish the cake?
Since we sculpt our decorations in chocolate, we rarely use fresh flowers on our cakes, to keep the entire cake edible. We will work with the florist if the couple prefers fresh flowers.
 
What (if any) cake accessories, such as a cake stand or cake cutter, do you rent out?
We have beautiful cake pedestals and plateaus that we rent.
 
Do you offer delivery? If yes, how much is your average delivery fee?
We deliver all of our larger cakes. The delivery charge depends on the traveling time to each venue. In San Francisco we charge $50.00. Smaller cakes can either be picked up or we can use our courier to safely deliver them. Please call us for details.
