WEDDINGS

From classic tiers to painterly buttercream florals, I create wedding cakes that are just as delicious as they are beautiful, with dessert bar packages available to round out your celebration.

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.
