Go Ahead, Cake My Day!

An unforgettable wedding cake must be both beautiful and delicious. 
Bread Basket Cake Shop accepts that challenge.

A well-designed wedding cake is the pinnacle of the day’s indulgences. Now, Bread Basket Cake Shop is giving this delicious dessert the attention it deserves at their new spot in The Springs community, conveniently located at 3 Hempstead Place (just off exit 15 near the Wilton shopping centers).

Bread Basket Cake Shop’s unique combination of expertise and innovation sprung forth from its beginnings in downtown Saratoga Springs 41 years ago. 

Since then, their cakes have become a “go-to” for celebrating significant moments – weddings included. Over the years, many brides have been moved to tears when their finished cake is finally revealed. 

Where Imagination is the Limit

Bread Basket Cake Shop’s newly-equipped design studio and consultation area provides a sophisticated setting for couples to discuss their wedding dreams. In the kitchen, there is plenty of space for designers to produce one-of-a-kind cakes for a uniquely special day.

Here, Bread Basket Cake Shop’s design team can use their 20+ years of cake decorating and baking experience to create imaginatively-decadent tiered masterpieces decked out with butter cream, sugar flowers, and other delights. 

Every cake is custom designed and tailored to each couple’s style; whether refined, whimsical, or contemporary. These one-of-a-kind designs are first hand-sketched – drawings that are themselves a work of art – letting clients know they are receiving a centerpiece that will wow their guests.

A Sweet Addition to a Fall Celebration

Fall celebrations are a time to appreciate nature’s abundance before the earth enters its winter slumber. Live flowers and other natural elements on the wedding cake add an extra pop to the occasion. Because of Bread Basket Cake Shop’s established relationships with local florists, they have access to those special, fresh, high-quality blooms that are always appealing. 

Bread Basket Cake Shop serves up autumn by the slice with a cake menu that includes fall flavors like maple – a deliciously unexpected favorite – beautifully embellished with seasonal decorations.

The wizards at Bread Basket Cake Shop also love getting creative with cake shapes, with cupcakes that have the same look and flavor as the wedding cake, unforgettable groom’s cakes, and customized cake pop favors. 

Wedding orders can combine Bread Basket Cake Shop goodies and Bread Basket Bakery offerings, and profits from both businesses are donated to fight food insecurity in the Greater Capital Region.

The duo was voted the NUMBER ONE bakery in Saratoga TODAY’s
2023 Best Of Saratoga list and by joining forces, they can deliver a full, freshly-baked, dessert table for your guests that – in addition to cake products – could include pies, fruit tarts, cookies, brownie bites, and more.

Planning That’s a Cakewalk

To seamlessly integrate the cake into your wedding planning, typically Bread Basket Cake Shop would start the conversation with couples several months before their big day. However, because they have excellent relationships with all the wedding venues in the region, they can happily work with almost all planning schedules - so contact them today to get the process started! 

Items needed for the display of the cake and its serving are available to rent from Bread Basket. They also provide top tier preservation instructions, giving couples the gift of enjoying a piece of their wedding cake as an anniversary treat - and experiencing those feelings of being loved and celebrated with each and every bite.
