Wedding cakes, dessert bars, and celebration bakes — proudly serving the Roanoke Valley + beyond

WEDDINGS

From classic tiers to painterly buttercream florals, I specialize in wedding cakes that are as beautiful as they are delicious. Dessert bar packages are also available to complete your celebration.

CELEBRATION CAKES

Not every occasion calls for a five-tier showpiece, but every celebration deserves cake worth remembering. From birthdays to showers to retirements, I create custom buttercream cakes that feel festive, personal, and — most importantly — delicious.

Looking for more than cake? Add cookies, brownies, cheesecakes, or cupcakes for a dessert spread that guests won’t leave behind.

Freshly baked, pre-designed and semi-customizable cakes, cookies, and desserts — ready when you need them. Perfect for last-minute celebrations (order by Monday at 7 PM) or planning ahead with ease.

If you’re splurging on a fancy cake, it should taste as good as it looks.

I bake with only the best: rich European butters, Nielsen-Massey vanilla, and Callebaut chocolate. You can expect organic fruit when possible, farm-fresh eggs from happy hens, and absolutely zero seed oils.

Because quality matters — not just looks. And trust me, every bite is worth it.

xoxo, Chassidy

Hi, I’m Chassidy — the one mixing, baking, and buttercream-slinging behind every cake. Takes the Cake is a licensed home bakery in Salem, VA, and everything that leaves my kitchen is made start to finish by me.

I’m not the big-box bakery down the road — I’m the baker who cares if your cake survives a gravel driveway, who’ll sweat the details so you don’t have to, and who believes desserts should taste just as incredible as they look.

What People Are Saying
