Custom cakes are a central part of how people mark meaningful moments. Baby Shower 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.
Cake Ann serves the North Shore region of Massachusetts, providing custom cakes for weddings and events across the area.
Custom Baby Shower Cakes
Baby shower cakes celebrate the upcoming arrival of a new family member. These cakes often feature gender reveal elements, nursery themes, or playful designs that reflect the joy of the occasion.
Cake Ann custom baby shower cakes are designed through a consultation process that covers:
- shower theme and colors
- guest count
- gender reveal preferences
- flavor preferences
- design style
Popular custom baby shower cakes styles include:
- nursery-themed designs
- gender reveal cakes
- whimsical decorations
- elegant pastel themes
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.
