About

Chocolate Pi is an artisan bakery founded by Pastry Chef Kim Yelvington, and continues to be a family run business with Kim and her daughter Jade being the creative forces behind the baked goods. Our mission as a company is to provide a product made with only the finest ingredients, a product made lovingly from scratch- with recipes ranging from old family favorites passed down through the generations and tweaked a bit, to recipes created out of a constant desire for perfecting our desserts, cakes, and confections. But most of all, we hold it as our standard to make everything- from our smallest confections, to our grandest wedding cakes- not only completely delicious, but beautiful as well.

We are located in the brand new Epicurean Hotel at 1205 S. Howard Ave. hours: Monday-Thursday 11am-8pm Friday-Saturday 12pm-12am.

Our wedding services include wedding cakes/groom's cakes/and wedding favors, dessert tables, french macarons, cupcakes, petit fours and chocolate truffles, european style desserts and pastries, dessert catering, and other related special orders.

We were recently married at the Oxford Exchange, and Kim Yelvington of Chocolate Pi created our most beautiful and delicious wedding cake. She listened to our ideas for the look of the cake and came up with a stunning design that captured our thoughts. We had 3 different layers, and each layer was as delicious as the next. We wish we still had some leftover! We give Chocolate Pi the highest ratings possible.

We selected Chocolate Pi for our wedding in early November. They did a dessert table for us and a small wedding cake. I didn't get to try everything the evening of the wedding, but what I did have was incredibly tasty! Their dessert tables not only look great, but are a crowd pleaser. Many guests raved about the desserts. I highly recommend Chocolate Pi.

We had our wedding at the MFA in St. Petersburg. They have a set vendor they use for the wedding cake, and they could not accommodate my gluten intolerance. I scoured the area for a vendor that could make a small cake that was gluten free. Kim was awesome and said she would love to make a gluten free cake for our special day! They had some delicious flavors on their website, and I requested to sample three of them. Let me tell you, those samples were huge! They were mini cakes, and she even threw in some chocolate macarons. I ordered my cake right away and sent her photos of my vision. The cake was gorgeous, and I legit cried when I saw it. Hands down the most delicious, spongy gluten free cake I've ever tasted! Her shop is so cute too! If I still lived in the area, I would visit every weekend! Thank you Kim for the beautiful and delicious cake!

We worked with Chocolate Pi for our wedding cake and dessert bar and what a treat they were! My husband didn't want the big, traditional wedding cake so we opted for a small two tier cake for the cake cutting and to freeze for our one year anniversary and then offered an assortment of desserts for our guests. Everything was delicious! We had macaroons, mini cupcakes, cheesecakes, chocolate pies, oatmeal creams pies, dessert shots, etc. Not only was everything delicious, but it was absolutely beautiful! The dessert bar became part of the decor and fit our vision perfectly! We can't wait for our anniversary to eat the rest of our cake!

Let them eat cake!! We hired Chocolate Pi for our daughter's wedding and the result was outstanding! Kim is very creative and easy to work with. Our daughter opted for a tower of four flavors of cupcakes with a small cake on top, and four flavors of macarons. The groom requested petit fours and everything was picture perfect! The colors were perfect and most important of all, everything was delicious!! Kim knows what she is doing and her professionalism really showed. She actually kept me calm when the venue had tables in the wrong places. She assured me that it would look beautiful and she was right! (Thank you for that!!) I would highly recommend Chocolate Pi for any of your dessert needs.

Chocolate Pi did our wedding cake as well as accommodated our last minute decision to do wedding favors. Kim and team did an amazing job. She had us hooked at the tasting and afterwards, no other vendor even came close. Highly recommend Chocolate Pi for your wedding cake/favors as well as any every day desserts.

Chocolate Pi is the best bakery in town! We used Chocolate Pi for the bridal shower, Rehearsal dinner, and wedding. We are huge fans! We had the most beautiful wedding cake and received many compliments about how spectacular it looked and how delicious it tasted! Kim is a pleasure to work with! She spent a lot of time with me and my husband coming up with a design based on my vision and theme of the wedding. She was able to perfectly create a cake that exceeded what I had pictured to be my wedding cake! She also made an effort to get to know the two of us as well. It did not feel like another vendor contract being checked off. The tasting meeting was amazing. We frequently stop by her shop (about once a week) and had tasted many of her cake flavors, and we were able to taste ones that are not regularly out at shop while we had our tasting. I have never had a better tasting cake than Kim's.

We also used her for my bridal shower macarons which taste just like the ones you find in the shops in Paris. I have never had macarons like this in the states. She also created cakes in the shapes of our two dogs for the rehearsal dinner. They were adorable as well as delicious!!! They were almost too cute to eat!

Since our wedding a few weeks ago, we have stopped in a couple times to taste more delicious treats, and I love that we can always stop by and have a slice of "our" wedding cake to make any day special!
