At Butter Baked Cookies and Cakes LLC in Seminole, FL, we believe every wedding cake should act as a centerpiece as unique as the couple it celebrates. Founded by Ericka McAvaddy, our Tampa Bay-based bakery specializes in the art of the celebration, focusing on handcrafted treats that offer a perfect blend of modern style and homemade heart.
Your Vision, Our Craft
Ericka is deeply passionate about the creative process, from the first message with a new couple to the final delicate brushstroke of buttercream. We specialize in minimalist and modern designs tailored to your specific aesthetic. Whether you are dreaming of the organic beauty of fresh florals, an edgy abstract element, or a high-impact "full glam" showstopper, we bring that vision to life with meticulous attention to detail. No detail is overlooked because we want your wedding day to be truly unforgettable.

• Curated Dessert Bars: A variety of sweet treats to keep your guests dancing all night.
• Gourmet Cookies & Favors: Perfect for bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, or as a "thank you" for your guests.

Pastry Chef & Owner
Hi! I’m Ericka McAvaddy, and I’m obsessed with the art of the celebration. Based right here in Tampa Bay, what started as a passion project has grown into a full-scale love affair with baking and design. From the moment I preheat the oven to the final touch of a decorating tool, I am all in.
At Butter Baked Cookies + Cakes, I believe that your dream wedding cake should be as accessible as it is beautiful. My mission is to provide thoughtful, high-quality, and affordable homemade cakes that fit your budget without ever compromising on style or taste.
My Aesthetic: I specialize in minimalist and modern designs. Whether you’re looking for the organic beauty of fresh florals, an edgy abstract element, or a "full glam" showstopper, I’m here to bring that vision to life.
When I’m not in the kitchen, you’ll likely find me out on a run. I love the balance of staying active while nurturing my creative side through sugar and flour! My goal is simple, and it’s baked into our motto: Crave • Indulge • Smile. I can’t wait to make your big day a little sweeter.

and delicious cake and cupcakes for us. We wanted a square, tiered cake on the simpler side, and Ericka exceeded our expectations.
