***FULLY BOOKED FOR 2022***
We believe that the dessert course of your event should be one of the culinary highlights of your evening! We'd love to take this opportunity to really wow your guests and have them rethink how delicious (and beautiful) wedding cake can truly be. After taking the time to get to know your flavor preferences and general vibe of your wedding, we work together to design the perfect menu and unique cake for you. Located in the Manayunk neighborhood of Philadelphia, we love working locally with many venues and vendors, as well traveling to NJ and DE. We also offer cookies, cupcakes and French macarons to supplement your dessert buffet or add as favors.

Beautiful Cake!

Meg’s beautiful cake was the highlight of our daughter’s wedding. From first contact to the day of the wedding she made the whole process easy. She was incredibly responsive and helpful in creating the amazing chocolate cake my daughter wanted. It not only looked wonderful, it tasted wonderfully delicious. Thank you Meg for your talent and dedication to making our daughter’s wedding cake so special!

So delicious!

We had a few different cakes that Nutmeg made for our engagement and wedding, and every single one tasted delicious and looked beautiful!! Meg was super quick to respond to emails, and always very clear, well-organized, and easy to arrange with. I loved the taste-at-home option—we spread tasting out over two days, which we really enjoyed! Everything was phenomenal!

Dream Boho Modern Cake

Wow, what can we say about Nutmeg except that our cake absolutely knocked it out of the park. If you want an incredible tasting cake with a unique and modern design, look no further. We loved Nutmeg’s style from the beginning, and knew it completely matched with our vision of our wedding cake. They worked with us to create a proposal that was exactly what we asked for and more. The design they came up with was so stunning, unique, and just completely us. And not to mention, their tasting process is so fun! We had such a hard time narrowing down the flavors because they were all so good. What we landed on was truly amazing and we got so many compliments on our cake at our wedding. From the design of it, to the taste, we heard it was the best wedding cake people have ever had—and we completely agree. We absolutely LOVED our cake and it was everything we dreamed of. We can’t recommend Nutmeg enough!

Loved our wedding cake, great working with Nutmeg

We loved our wedding cake from Nutmeg and Meg & team were great to work with! We got married in Philadelphia but live in Miami, and it was nice that we were able to pick up a tasting box when we were in town, fly home with it, and do our tasting in Miami. Communication, delivery, etc. was all great!

Our dream wedding cake

We were very happy with our experience working with Nutmeg Cake Design. The process started with a take-home tasting kit, which allowed us to try multiple combinations of cakes, fillings, and frostings - each more delicious than the last - and to get input from a couple of our closest family and friends. (We loved Nutmeg’s cakes so much that we ended up getting a separate cake for another special event!) For our wedding cake, we really appreciated our individualized consultation with Meg to explore our options for flavors and design, including coordinating with our florist to add fresh flowers for decor. We were so grateful to receive a cake that was beautiful, delicious, and meaningful, and for seamless delivery and setup by the Nutmeg team. We would highly recommend Nutmeg for any special occasion!

Amazing! Delicious! Beautiful!

Meg is PHENOMENAL! Her sugar flowers are so realistic that everyone thought they were real. We had a grooms cake, a wedding cake, and a sheet cake in the back with three different flavors. The flavors were spice cake with apple compote and vanilla buttercream, pistachio cake with vanilla buttercream, and orange olive oil cake with Nutella buttercream. All were amazing! Some of our guest were fighting over sharing different flavors or eating the last bite. I cannot recommend Nutmeg enough. She also did my bridal shower cake (lemon cake, lemon curd filling, vanilla buttercream). We ordered twice as many slices as guests and there was not a single piece left at the end of the event because so many people ate seconds or took a piece home with them! The restaurant staff also said it was the best looking, most consistent crumb they’ve ever seen. *I will add professional pictures when I receive them

Superiorly Scrumptious

Contracting Nutmeg Cake Design, was hands down one of the easiest and best decisions I made for my wedding this past July. Initially meeting Meg and having our first consultation with her was such a special experience. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, to understand our likes / dislikes, vision, define what cake flavor combinations best represented us and ensure alignment with the overall design aesthetic of the wedding + venue throughout the entire process. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that the cake tasting process was equally as magical. Nutmeg has mastered their cake tasting presentation and Meg sends her couples home with a package of individually curated vignettes of their most delicious cake / buttercream creations along with the latest issue of Philadelphia Wedding Magazine. Let me tell you that this was some of the most fun my husband and I had throughout our entire wedding planning process! It was packaged so well that we were able to taste test at home and then rewrap our tastings, cross state lines and include our parents in the cake tasting fun as well! We worked with Meg through multiple wedding postponements due to the covid pandemic and she handled each amendment with poise and utmost professionalism. We also worked with Meg to create a custom stencil for our wedding cake design and through each step of the process Meg ensured that all of our questions, concerns and minds were at ease. On the day of our wedding, some of the best compliments we received were in regards to how scrumptious our wedding cake flavors were! Both my husband and I cannot wait to rip through our 1-year anniversary cake which is patiently waiting to be devoured in our freezer! Final point: throughout it all, Meg delivered - simply put. (As you can see through the wedding day photos)! If you are contemplating wedding cake designers - stop it. Make the decision to contract Nutmeg Cake Designs. Your family, friends and even wedding photographer will thank you. But most importantly YOU and your partner will walk away so happy you’ve made the right decision!

The Most Delicious and Stunning Cakes you will ever eat!

I wish I could give Meg 10/10 stars. I really do! I knew from the moment I got engaged that I wanted to use Nutmeg for our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions that we in our vendor hiring process. We walked away from the tasting basically rolling out of the door because each of the flavors was so good, everyone overate. It was quite a tough decision narrowing down our final flavors, you really cannot go wrong with any!

I worked with Nutmeg to create my bridal shower cake and also my wedding cake and I could not have been happier not only with how everything tasted but the designs of both of the cakes. Meg is truly an artist, a cake visionary. I remember saying to her that I wanted our wedding cake to look like art, not a traditional cake. Meg worked with me to create something unique, bold, and impactful. She absolutely nailed it. I seriously did not want to cut into the cake it was that beautiful. Not to mention, every.single.slice was eaten that night!! Our guests could not stop raving about how incredibly beautiful and delicious the cake was.

I cannot speak highly enough of Meg's talent, professionalism, artistic ability, and out-of-this-world baking skills. If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind cake that is almost too pretty to eat, but the second you take a bite you can't stop eating it, yea, Nutmeg is where you want to be!

Incredible!!!

Meg and her team are truly amazing. We booked Meg back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding that got postponed to 2021. Meg was extremely flexible and accommodating with us moving our date and made the entire process a breeze. A few months out from our wedding, we decided to change the look of our cake and opt for a more fun palette and even though Meg had already drawn up the original design, she was more than happy to change to our new look. She is so helpful in explaining all of the different options and combinations and is great with offering her professional opinion when you're not sure which to chose! Our cake came out absolutely beautiful - better than anything I ever could have imagined. Our guests loved it and we cannot wait to eat our anniversary tier. Very high chance it doesn't make it a full year ;). I cannot recommend Meg and her team enough. We were so lucky to work with her!!!!

Delicious works of art!

We found Meg and Nutmeg Cake Designs at a wedding event held at the Horticulture Center in February 2020. Despite all of the craziness an uncertainty that followed, Meg remained responsive and optimistic. She coordinated a remote tasting event- with over 10 delicious flavor combos. She was able to accommodate our wedding date change, and made the entire process as pain free as possible. We weren't exactly sure what we wanted, so we gave her creative license with some basic parameters for our two (smaller) cakes. She never tried to pressure us into doing anything more/different and we could not be more pleased with how they both turned out. At least three people told us that it was the "best carrot cake that they had ever had".
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Meg is not just an artist - and we mean an actual artist - but also a wonderful person with a bubbly personality and a warmth that will make you fall in love with her immediately. And that's before we even talk about her incredible cake skills, not to mention her specialty desserts. (Her macarons could melt in your mouth.) She is so open, personable, and talented that we cannot recommend her highly enough!
