About this vendor
7 Time Winner of the Couples' Choice Award!
When you choose Flour Child Bakery for your wedding cake, you'll be getting our expert attention to detail that comes along with our 14+ years' experience! Our bakery is special because we make all of our sweet treats from scratch on-site.
We're so proud of what we do, we built a window into our kitchen so you can watch the magic happen. Baking is our passion, and we believe in quality over quantity. Everything is made by hand in small batches by our experienced bakers. We do not use any cake mixes. We make our signature Swiss meringue buttercream frosting with all butter - never any shortening. We use real butter, pure extracts, Belgian chocolate, fresh fruit, and many other quality ingredients in our everyday baking.
We also offer gluten-free options, including cakes, cupcakes, & more.
We are thrilled to be preferred wedding cake bakers for Lesner Inn, Gala 417, The Maine of Williamsburg, Royal Courtyard at West Neck, and Grand Affairs Catering.
We are mother-daughter owned & operated since opening our storefront in 2010.

I have always been a fan of Flour Child Bakery, and couldn't have dreamed of another bakery for our wedding cake. We had a sinple 3 tier funfetti cake with raspberry preserves and ...
vanilla butter cream with a separate sheet cake as well for our guests. Everyone who had cake RAVED about how good it was. I will always recommend Flour Child

earching for a wedding cake, cupcakes, or simply to get your afternoon dessert fix, STOP!!! You needn't look any further!!! Flour Child Bakery is THE ANSWER!!!
Two weeks ago, I married my best friend. I was thrilled to finally make it down the aisle, but what I truly couldn't wait for was to see (and eat!) the incredible cake and cupcakes from Flour Child that awaited us inside the venue...
I started planning our wedding in February, so we didn't have much time to ruminate over the many options! I knew I wanted something coffee-flavored, and wanted to see lots of pretty cake/cupcake combo designs. Flour Child clearly listed an espresso Swiss meringue buttercream frosting option on their website and had a variety of beautiful, unique, and delicious-looking photos to browse! It was so easy to reach out and immediately connect with Cassie. From start to finish, her expertise, guidance, patience, creativity, warmth, and passion guided me through the process of choosing the perfect wedding cake and cupcakes!!!
The team was personable and incredible in every way. Our cake tasting was an absolute blast—we did 2 cake tasting boxes and had so much fun mixing and matching different frostings and cake flavors! Their specialty frosting, Swiss meringue buttercream, is the best thing I've ever eaten. It's thick, fluffy, holds shape, is stable at room temperature, and carefully crafted with so many freaking flavors!!!! It's an absolute HIT and unlike the typical syrupy, overly sweet, or sticky frosting many places use. It's PERFECTION. I ate it with a spoon out of my tasting box.
Now, let me tell you what we chose to do and how freaking delicious everything was, so you can say, "I'LL HAVE WHAT SHE'S HAVING!"
We opted for a 6" layered cutting cake for us, with a wide variety of cupcakes for guests, placed on a large wooden cupcake stand.
Our layered cutting cake had espresso-flavored frosting with devil's food chocolate cake, filled with dark chocolate ganache... The decorations were breathtaking—she created the most beautiful seashells and coral for our beach-themed wedding, and it complemented our cake topper so perfectly!!! The flavor was to die for. Absolutely perfect, fluffy, rich, and delectable....
We then did 10 dozen cupcakes consisting of 9 flavors!!!!! We had a small wedding, and the goal was making sure people got to try any flavor they wanted, and send some home with folks!
The final flavors:
1) our wedding cake flavor (espresso frosting, devil's food chocolate cake, dark chocolate ganache filling) x 2 dozen
2) strawberry cupcakes filled with white chocolate ganache, topped with strawberry frosting and white chocolate ganache drizzle
3) carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and cream cheese frosting as filling
4) German chocolate cupcakes with classic German chocolate coconut/pecan frosting with chocolate buttercream filling
5) lemon cupcakes with raspberry preserves filling and lemon buttercream frosting with a raspberry drizzle
6) pineapple cupcakes with passion fruit preserves filling and passion fruit buttercream frosting with a dollop of passion fruit filling on top
7) coconut cupcakes filled with lemon curd and topped with classic vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream frosting tinted blue with edible seashells
8) almond cupcakes with raspberry preserves filling and almond frosting with raspberry drizzle
9) Classic yellow cake cupcakes with chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream frosting
Every single one was phenomenal, and I had so much fun bossing people around, making sure they all tried everything! As evidenced by the photos 😂😂😂
Amid the stress of wedding planning, when I felt overwhelmed, I'd literally drive over to Flour Child and get some treats (jumbo cupcakes, cake pops, coconut custard, cookies, etc.)! Their store is such a lovely, yummy safe space and helped remind me what a wedding is truly all about—togetherness, community, love, connection, and cake!
I will be a lifelong customer and fan of this incredible family-owned, woman-owned bakery!!!! Thank you so much for helping our dreams come true!!! We'll be seeing you again soon!
Love,
Rebecca & Ronnie
We absolutely loved our cake and cupcakes! The bakery was so easy to work with, we even decided to change our cake from a two tier to a three tier about a month before our wedding ...
date and they did it no problem. When we went in to pick up our tasting kit we had to try the cupcake of the day, strawberry shortcake. We loved it so much we asked if we could have it as one of our cupcake flavors even though it wasn't on the wedding list and they did it! We ended up going with a three tier cake and 60 cupcakes, we had no cupcakes leftover at the end of the night the guests loved them so much.

one has been extremely easy to communicate with. We requested to pickup the cake 30 minutes earlier than originally requested and they did it no problem. They were easy to work with with our design idea and had a very soft and smooth cake. Unfortunately we couldn't do a taste testing because it was such a small order but we were able to go in and get a few of their regular or mini cupcakes to help us choose our flavors!

nd 9 dozen cupcakes. The taste was high quality and they set up everything so beautifully at our venue. Although we did not save our top tier of wedding cake, we had many cupcakes to take home. We froze them and they were just as amazing after thawing from the freezer. These bakers know what they are doing!

hey came out beautifully rustic and simple. She was so effortless to work with and easy to get a hold of (we are from Northern Va).
