Gristmill Cakes

Cakes for all Occasions

3-D Treasure Chest birthday cake

When it comes to cakes, one cannot say, "a cake is a cake is a cake". We have been baking and decorating delicious beautiful cakes since our doors opened in January 1992. Our cakes are tall, moist and decorated to perfection. We have a number of cream and fruit fillings to choose from. Our homemade butter cream frosting is light and creamy. It provides just enough body and stiffness to allow for perfection in decorating without that "too sweet taste". We also feature a thick rich and equally delicious home-made cream cheese icing, fresh whipped cream, a light non-dairy whipped topping and an exquisitely rich chocolate ganache. The choice of topping may restrict the kind of decorating that can be done. We make our own rolled fondant and marzipan which have become increasing popular. Rolled fondant is no longer just for wedding cakes.

Bring in a picture!

Planning a theme party? Need the company logo on a cake? Want the cake to match the invitation or any other picture? We encourage our customers to bring in a picture when they order a cake. We'll match the colors and images as best we can. Many of the cakes featured here have been inspired by a picture that a customer has brought in.

Order a Cake just the way you like it

Cake lovers can combine different cakes, fillings and icings to create a scrumptious cake for even the pickiest cake connoisseur. To order a special cake, give us at least 7 days advance notice, as our kitchen schedule is set a week ahead. It's never too early to order, but it can be too late!

Last Minute Cake

We always recommend that you order your special cake, but do not despair if you forgot to order and need a last minute cake. We have a "standard" selection of cakes, cheese cakes and specialty cakes that serve between 8 and 16 people available everyday in our cake showcase or in our freezer (Yes, it's safe to freeze a cake). We can write on these cakes to personalize it for any occasion.

Cake Flavors

The Gristmill makes all its cakes. For our regular cake flavors see the list below. To drool over the other variety of cakes and cheesecakes we make, please visit our specialty cakes page.

We can customize if given enough notice. Custom flavors and non-standard sizes need more time. Our cakes are delicious on their own, but you can also order a variety of fruit and cream fillings. Prices on fillings and toppings vary.
