Awkward Pastry is a custom order and take-away dessert shop, where every cake is as creative and expressive as you are. From cakes to pies to catered dessert bars, our menu rotates with the changing seasons, so there’s always something new to try.
Have a favorite dessert that you can’t seem to find anywhere? Send us a note! We love creating Awkward versions of your favorites. Need something right friggin now? Shoot us a text or drop by! We usually have an extra cake or two in the case ready to go, as well as a fun treat-of-the-week to get you going!
“What Baker calls 'awkward' most of us would find whimsical, imaginative, perhaps even a little wild.”
