About

Lilac Patisserie is a dedicated gluten-free bakery located in Santa Barbara, California. We believe that designing a wedding cake should be a unique and memorable experience for each couple. Lilac Pâtisserie offers a selection of luxurious and decadent cakes — 12 signature flavors — that are as beautiful as they are delicious. We use only the finest ingredients in our cakes, including intoxicating Madagascar vanilla, rich Belgian chocolate, and the freshest produce.

Gluten Free Wedding Cakes

Chef Gillian Muralles is focused on luxurious gluten-free baking. Along with co-owner — and husband — Chef Alam Muralles, every recipe the duo creates meets their high standards, and passes the three criteria for the Lilac Pâtisserie work-of-art test: taste, texture and appearance. Everything made at Lilac Pâtisserie is gluten free, but if we didn’t mention it, you might never know.

Better Than Imagined

We had the most incredible experience with Gillian, the owner and Madison, the cake designer. My husband, not gluten free, had high standards when it came to our wedding cake. After our first tasting, which we were able to take to go due to covid, he said hands down this was the best cake he had ever had. The hardest part for us was picking a flavor so we ended up with two, Chocolate Berry Moose and Lemon Raspberry. Our cake truly a showstopper. The guests loved ever bite and were shocked to learn that it was gluten free! Lilac Patisserie really does live up to its claim that you would never know it was gluten free!

Best cake and kindest service!

Thank you so much to Madison and the team at Lilac! Our wedding cake was delicious and absolutely beautiful. My husband and I didn’t have a clear vision of what we wanted out cake to look like at first, but we told Madison a little bit about ourselves and how we met and she drew the most unique and awesome design…then brought it to life in cake form! Wonderful experience, can’t thank you guys enough :)

Best cake I've ever had

Our wedding cake exceeded our expectations! The presentation was beautiful and the taste was even more superb. Every time I go to a wedding, I'm left feeling "meh" about the cake (regardless of whether it's gluten-free or not), but both my husband and I were so impressed with our wedding cake. We got the salted caramel flavor and we made every excuse to eat it for breakfast and dessert until it was gone in the days after our wedding.

My husband and I even ended up seeking out Lilac Patisserie for breakfast the morning after our wedding and we were not disappointed! We purchased loaves of bread to take back home with us. 5/5 would recommend. We're looking for another reason to come back to Santa Barbara just to visit.

Amazing experience!

From start to finish, Madison was so incredibly helpful and made our special day incredible. She helped us with our cake tasting, took the time to listen to what we wanted and not only shared options for us but made recommendations. Our cake was delicious, everyone loved it and Madison made sure to put the perfect flowers on that would match our theme. I highly recommend this location and we could not have been happier with our wedding cake! Thank you so much!

Amazing cake and service

Our cake turned out just as we had pictured it and was the best tasting cake I’ve ever had. Gillian was so helpful throughout the process and I would recommend Lilac to anyone for an amazing wedding cake and process!

Wedding Cake!

5/5 Stars. Would Recommend.

Lilac Patisserie baked our wedding cake (plus some lemon bars, cookies, brownies, and scones), and everything tasted fresh and delicious. We ordered the Berry Patch wedding cake and added some small flowers and berries to the outside of the cake, and it looked as good as it tasted! Working with Lilac Patisserie was a wonderful experience. We definitely recommend Lilac Patisserie to anyone for any gluten free baking needs.

P.S. Do the wedding cake tasting! For only $25, you can try slices of five different, delicious cakes!

Great Wedding Cake!

I’m so glad we went with Lilac for our wedding cake! They made everything so easy, from choosing a cake, coordinating with the florist for decorations, and delivery at our venue. The cake was also DELICIOUS. We got complements from so many guests about how good it tasted.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
