No such thing as a dumb cake question

There's so many ways I can answer this question! With me, you’re getting the personality hire AND the skill hire.

-Personality: I’m a goofball with an unfiltered personality. I’m anxious, so you KNOW those cakes are getting done on time. I’m a kooky queer leftie with a heart of gold.
-Skills: My work is different than your average baker. Everything I make is perfectly imperfect. No two cakes are alike and I don’t copy your exact reference photos; I make you something custom. AP cakes look like they are handmade with love and it’s important to me that they come across as they are: lovingly-crafted, one-of-a-kind works of art.

I just moved into the Native Pizza space! My storefront is at 1751 E Main St. Ventura, CA 93001.
Right now, I'm mostly custom-only, made-to-order treats but every week I put together some very fun specials based entirely on my whims! If you have a last-minute request, it's worth texting me to ask!

Totally! Every Wednesday, we prep an extra cake or two, plus have weekly specials like pie slices, cookies, and other fun treats. To see what’s available, follow us on IG or shoot us a text!

I have a full and comprehensive price sheet right here!

If you have a specific idea, send me an email, and I'll give you a more detailed quote. I need to know your venue, your date, how many servings you need, and what your overall wedding vibe is. Do you want a massive tiered cake to feed everyone or do you want a small cutting cake with a supplemental sheet cake? Something in between? Do you have colors in mind? Do any of my cakes inspire you? Send me all your thoughts so I can make the cake of your dreams.

Absolutely yes. For some prix fixe options, check out our dessert bar packages here. If you want to build your own, that’s cool too… check out all the various options here. Just keep in mind you want about 2-3 pieces of dessert per guest, as bites are small and folks love treats!

First, if you're local, you can order a to-go tasting whenever you want.

Generally, I'll want to know all the details before giving you an accurate quote. Once you're ready to book, I'll send along a detailed invoice and contract. It's a 50% non-refundable deposit to hold the date, with the following 50% due 2 weeks before your event. For orders under $300, you'll pay the whole shebang up front.

I'll deliver anywhere if you're willing to pay the big bucks! Book me for your destination wedding, it'll be rad.

My most common range is as far north as Goleta/Santa Barbara and as far south as Malibu/Topanga. Ventura deliveries are $25, and prices go up from there. I frequently service Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, Ojai, Ventura, Oxnard, Camarillo, Thousand Oaks and the Conejo Valley.

All my cakes are 4 layers of cake with 3 layers of filling (buttercream, curd, etc). They're about 5-6" tall, depending on what they're filled with, and the size listed of the cake (ex 6" cake) is the diameter.

Nah, I don't. I'm not passionate about it so it's not a part of my workflow. No shade, I'm just not down. The good news is that if you want a few vegan servings to supplement your order I know some FANTASTIC vegan bakers who can hop in and make it happen. Ixchel from Bloom Bakery in Ojai, Deb from Desserts 2 Die For, and Baked by Tallulah are all insanely awesome.

I do make gluten-free items! Most anything on my menu can be made gluten-free for a small upcharge, so just ask. Please note that I am not a gluten-free facility. I take great precautions and sanitize between steps to prevent cross-contamination, but if you have a hypersensitive case of Celiac's and are concerned about particles of flour in the air, you may want to opt for cake from a specifically GF facility, like Lilac in Santa Barbara.

Hard no. I have nothing for you here, friend. Sorry, I love you, but no. You should hit up Whole Foods or Bristol Farms, they usually have a sugar free or keto option!

In general, the feedback about my treats are that they are balanced and NOT overly sweet. But it's still cake and buttercream, and sugar is in everything.

Hard no on the fondant. I'll send you to someone that is super talented and groovy with that. I like Vivian from Chubby Girl Cupcakes!

And Ali from Sugar Lab!

If you'd like a simpler themed cake, just talk to me. Sometimes I'll work with my clients to find cute toppers on Amazon or Etsy, and we'll incorporate them together into the cake design.

While all the flowers and greenery I used are non-toxic and technically edible, I don't necessarily recommend eating them as they don't lend anything to the flavor profile. They're a garnish! It would kind of be like eating salad on your cake.

By default, all cakes are coated with white vanilla bean buttercream. If I have a chocolate-chocolate cake on order, I'll coat that one in chocolate buttercream. If you'd like it coated in something else, like a flavored or colored buttercream, make sure you send me an email and ask (there may be a slight upcharge!)
