Custom cakes are a central part of how people mark meaningful moments. Anniversary Cakes, birthdays, anniversaries, corporate gatherings, and private celebrations all carry different expectations around design, flavor, timing, and service. At Cake Ann, custom cakes are designed with those differences in mind—built to fit the event, the space, and the people involved.
Serving Cape Ann and the North Shore, Cake Ann creates custom cakes for weddings and events throughout the region.
Custom Anniversary Cakes
Anniversary cakes mark significant milestones in relationships. Whether celebrating one year or fifty, these cakes honor the journey and commitment shared by couples.
Cake Ann custom anniversary cakes are designed through a consultation process that covers:
- anniversary milestone
- couple's preferences
- guest count
- flavor preferences
- design aesthetic
Popular custom anniversary cakes styles include:
- elegant tiered designs
- romantic floral arrangements
- personalized toppers
- classic and timeless styles
Pastry Chef–Driven Design and Flavor
Every custom cake is developed by a pastry chef with a focus on balance, structure, and flavor—not just appearance.
Flavor options are built around:
- classic cake bases (vanilla, chocolate, almond, lemon)
- seasonal fruit fillings
- curated buttercreams and frostings
- optional specialty or limited-run flavors
Cake Ann emphasizes cakes that taste as good as they look, with an approach rooted in professional pastry technique rather than mass production.
