About

Fancy Pants Cakes is a home-based business in Bennington, Vermont, crafting wedding and special event cakes for events in southern Vermont, NY capital region, or MA Berkshires. Whether it's a large showpiece or small cutting cake with mini cupcakes, I love working with couples to design a treat that is not only Pinterest-worthy but custom to the couple's personalities, interests, special memories, or venue.

As for flavor, clients often use the words "delicious" and "amazing," a reflection of quality ingredients and my amazing, melt-in-your-mouth buttercream. Contact me today to set up a consultation and tasting!

Stunning wedding cake!

We hit the jackpot when we found Fancy Pants for our wedding cake. Jenica was wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. I shared pictures and my vision with her on a zoom - we live too far away for a tasting but it wasn’t necessary. The cake was absolutely stunning. And on top of that multiple guests, including our wedding coordinator, said it was the best cake they ever had, wedding or otherwise! We agree wholeheartedly. Buttermilk vanilla with cookie butter filling is not to be missed! And chocolate cake with strawberry buttercream layer - chef’s kiss. If you are looking for a wedding or special event cake, run here and book it! You will not be disappointed!

Go no further in your search than Fancy Pants Cakes

Being from Vermont, it was important to use as many local vendors as possible for our wedding. Jenica at Fancy Pants was one of the first vendors we chose to work with and it was a seamless experience from start to finish. The process of tasting and choosing the flavor and design was extremely collaborative, and she made it as accessible as possible for us. When we got closer to the wedding, communication was prompt and everyone was always on the same page. Delivery and set up was right on time, and the cakes themselves were beyond good, and beautiful in color. We can’t recommend Fancy Pants enough for all of your wedding cake needs! No need to look any further.

I liked that she mailed us a ton of options and we got try them at home ourselves. we opted for a brown sugar vanilla cake and a choclate gf cake with dulce de leche frosting. we got rave reviews from our guests and we loved it too! she also is so talented look at this gorgeous cake!

Cannot recommend Fancy Pants Cakes enough.

My wife and I couldn't have been happier with how Jenica executed our vision for our wedding cake. She was incredibly patient, very easy to work with, and offered excellent advice and suggestions when we were stuck on design choices. On the day of the wedding, my wife and I first saw the completed cake during one of our pre-wedding photo shoots and were blown away by just how fantastic the cake looked - it came out better than either of us could've imagined. Not only did the cake look amazing, after the wedding we heard reports of guests returning to the desert table for 2nd and 3rd servings during the reception, so you know the cake tasted delicious as well. I speak for both my wife and I when I say that if you are considering Fancy Pants Cakes for you wedding cake, you will not be disappointed.

Delicious and Beautiful!!

All I can say is WOW! Not only was the cake the EXACT look that we wanted from the inspiration pictures we sent, but our wedding guests are still raving about just how delicious the cake was! Jenica was fantastic to work with and she is an extremely talented baker. The number of flavor and buttercream choices she gives you is incredible. I can seriously still taste our brown sugar vanilla cake with chai buttercream like it was yesterday! Jenica was open to our vision and worked to make it exactly what we hoped for. Also, flavor tasting the mini cupcakes and buttercreams she sent to us in the mail was a delicious bonus. We can't recommend her enough!!

Wedding Cake, Equinox Wedding 6/6/2025

Jenica was a DREAM to work with. She saw our vision start to finish and executed on the most beautiful cake we could have ever imagined. She also found the silver stand that we loved and it was the perfect touch. The cake was both stunning and delicious. It was the most delicious cake we have ever tasted in our life and many of our guests thought the same. If you hire Jenica you will not have to worry or stress about a thing!

Excellent Cake Experience!

Jenica did an incredible job with our cake! From the tasting, the consultation, and the end result, her communication was excellent! Our tasting was mailed to us and everything tasted incredible! We ended up going with a chocolate cake with raspberry buttercream and chocolate ganache, and a brown butter vanilla with maple buttercream and white chocolate ganache. They were to die for! But there were so many amazing flavor combinations it was so hard to pick. The decorations came out absolutely perfect - it was amazing to see exactly what we had talked about come to life! She even suggested we hide a small detail in our frosting, and we chose to include a cat to represent ours. It came out so cute! The guests loved the cake and we were able to take a tier home for ourselves. Thank you so much Jenica!

Highly recommend!!!

Jenica was fantastic!! She was so responsive and worked with us to facilitate two different tastings (since we were having trouble deciding), and gave us fantastic suggestions around display and flavors. We got a GF cutting cake and normal mini cupcakes, and both of them were fantastic. The number of cupcakes she recommended was spot on, we only had about a dozen minis leftover the next day (which got quickly eaten during breakfast!). Cannot recommend highly enough!!

Beautiful cake and mini cupcakes

I was so impressed with Jenica / Fancy Pants Cakes. Jenica was amazing to work with, she calmed my nerves, and made delicious recommendations.

Everyone at the wedding reception raved about the cake. My favourite moment is when the bride and groom were doing their cake cutting pictures, and the bride got lovely shocked look.. OMG this is delicious she said while she had cake covering her face.
