Based in Brooklyn, NY, Firefly Cake Design is a studio that creates wedding cakes. It is owned by Sarah, who is passionate about crafting aesthetically pleasing and delicious desserts for a couple's big day.
Firefly Cake Design was named for Rufus T. Firefly, Sarah's first cat, and for the magic of fireflies on a summer evening. It is Sarah's goal to bake and design a cake that can bring just as much enchantment to the special pair's celebrations. Each cake is carefully and thoughtfully personalized to best fit the couple's preferences.
Sarah has created a customized cake tasting experience at Firefly Cake Design. During the process, the couple gets to try three different flavors and three fillings, along with vanilla buttercream, to experiment with various pairings. Sarah also collaborates with the couple to artistically translate their wedding theme into a fitting cake design. Throughout the process, from the first conversations to the delivery, Sarah dedicates herself to being there for her clients.

I grew up loving to bake. I recently found a picture of me presenting my first cake (age 8) and a flower birthday cake sculpture I made in pottery class.
College friends got me to offer to make their wedding cake. Some might balk at the notion of making a 4 tier cake for 120, but I dove right into research and learning how to make gum paste and then flowers. It went off without a hitch! I enjoyed it so much that I started offering it as a gift to all of my friends and family getting married.
My background as a designer certainly comes into play in how I create my decorations and cakes.

Finding a well decorated cake that tastes as good as it looks is so hard to do these days… until we tasted Sarah’s! She really has a way with buttercream. Our cake had a gorgeous ombre effect with such gorgeous flowers piled on top and trailing all the way down. It was perfect!
Her flavors are so creative, and she really works with her clients to figure out what they like. We had 2 flavors in alternating tiers. She really brought some creativity to the tasting to help us come up with them based off of our favorite desserts and candy bars.
We know Sarah bakes out of love, but she really has a talent for it. We’re so glad she could make our wedding extra sweet!

Sarah Bleu of “Firefly Cake Design” is a visionary and a gem of a baker!
We went with Sarah after trying a handful of other bakers because of the taste of her creations – AND her enthusiasm. A few of other bakers we did tastings with did not exude the same excitement Sarah did when we discussed our vision for our cake. Trust me. You want this trait in your wedding cake baker. I thought I had to use fresh flowers on my cake because my research showed me that hand-made flowers can be costly and not look as “real”. I shared this concern with Sarah, and she was up for the challenge of making the flowers for the cake! I wish I could post the picture here so you can take a good look at the cake she created. I showed Sarah what I wanted my bouquet to look like and the color scheme- and those Calli Lilies! They matched my bouquet right down to the shade of purple inside!! The detail in those Roses? Those flowers look real!
I wanted a semi naked cake and she hit it out of the park!!! I had three layers of different flavors and one other baker told me that it would show through the icing because I wanted a semi-naked cake. It did not. The taste. Let me tell you. I had people calling me the next day asking if I had any left-over cake. Seriously. Sarah also made cupcakes with lovely floral details with two different cake and filling flavors than the cake. Her buttercream is delicious. Not too sweet- just right. The cake is moist and flavorful. Her fruit compote is heavenly. I am a hardcore chocoholic. The top part of our cake was her chocolate flavor with mocha ganache filling. You know how you’re supposed to leave the top part for the one-year celebration? We couldn’t do it. Too good. If she’s not too busy because she’s going to be flooded with so many requests- we are going to have her make our one-year celebratory cake! Oh, and she’s making my son’s cupcakes for his party this month. THAT is how amazing she is.
Sarah is down to earth and she communicates well. Sarah will follow up when you reach out and she won’t have you waiting for a response. Sarah delivers the cake to you as well. My wedding was in the morning, and she brought the cake to the reception EARLY!
I can without a doubt say that Sarah of “Firefly Cake Design” was THE best wedding cake I have ever had! Stunning and delicious does not do it justice. You will be remiss if you do not go with Sarah for your next important event. She is everything. Period.

Sarah was absolutely amazing to work with!!! I was so concerned about wedding planning, and everything from the cake tasting (where we got to try several flavors) to the day-of cake was amazing. Firefly Cake Design cakes are both delicious and just so artistic. I also had really fun wedding cake topper, and Sarah did an amazing job ensuring that "spring" was the essence of the theme, while really making my cake topper shine. I highly recommend Firefly Cake Design.

Sarah’s work is incredible and always blows me away! She’s made numerous cakes for me … for birthdays, baby showers and weddings. No matter the occasion, big or small, she exceeds expectations by executing gorgeous and highly intricate custom designs. For example, I was so impressed when she found a way to top my wedding cake with origami cranes made out of sugar! Oh, and behind all of that beauty? You can’t find a better tasting cake. Her flavor combinations are spot on and sooo delicious. I love Firefly Cake Design! Seeing the work she’s done for others makes me wish for another occasion to order a cake! Yum!
