    The Baked Lab was wonderful to work with for our wedding desserts. Their communication was quick and organized throughout the entire process, making planning a breeze. The quality of their work was top-notch - they provided a delicious variety of treats for our dessert table, with a great selection of flavors that all our guests raved about. The wedding cake was exactly what we wanted, perfectly complementing our overall theme and vision for the day. We were thrilled with the Baked Lab's contributions to making our special day so sweet and memorable.

    Still Getting Asked Who Made Our Wedding Cake

    Hiring The Baked Lab was by far one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Shawn is incredible⁠—his passion for bringing your vision to life and the aesthetic and deliciousness of his creations are unmatched. All of our guests raved about our beautiful cake and cupcakes, which speedily disappeared from the dessert table. We are so grateful Shawn was part of our special day. If you are in need of sweet treats for your special occasion, we wholeheartedly recommend The Baked Lab!

    Best wedding cake in Wisconsin, period.

    We worked with Shawn in October for our wedding and wanted to do a super fun cutting cake for my husband and I. We shot Shawn over some inspiration images and he worked with our wedding planner to deliver us the most stunning wedding cake we had ever seen. It fit our personalities and aesthetic perfectly and the best part is, it was absolutely delicious! We loved it so much that we've gotten Shawn's cakes since for other special occasions. Shawn is so easy to work with and makes the entire process simple and fun. We couldn't have picked a better vendor for our wedding cake and would recommend Shawn's work to anyone!

    Simply the best.

    I've had Shawn make many cakes and treats for me and the whole experience is always beyond! The luxe and gorgeous custom cake designs are what really sets him apart and is something I always look forward to when working with him. Everything is always delicious, his skill set and design talent is top notch and he simply knocks it out of the park on all levels.

Yes! We offer Cake Tasting Boxes for pick up on specific dates throughout the year. The take-home boxes include 6 of our favorite flavor combinations. They can be purchased on our website! While we don't currently offer tastings for additional dessert items at this time, we promise they're just as delicious as your cake. You can order some of our signature treats on our website.
If you haven't already, you can submit your wedding inquiry on our website. As a baker and designer, I’m very interested in working closely with my clients to create the desserts of their dreams. A non-refundable deposit of $100 is due in order for us to secure your event date.
Generally speaking... * 1 Tiered Cakes start at: $95 (feeds approx. 14-42) * 2 Tiered Cakes start at : $210 (feeds approx. 32-42) * 3-4 Tiered Cakes Start at: $355 (feeds over 46) Pricing for custom cakes is set at a baseline. The price of your cake is determined based on size and design intricacy. Pricing generally starts at $6 per serving and increase based on design and complexity. All cakes are made 100% from scratch. It’s important to me that your cake tastes as great as it looks!
In general, our standard dessert servings are comprised of 4 layers of cake and 3 layers of filling. Cake slices are approximately 1”x2”x5”, though they can slightly vary. If you're looking for just a little bite to offer your guests, each dessert serving can be cut in half to offer a coffee serving bite. Your cake will certainly go further in numbers! Please note, we do not offer cake cutting service.
We would love to see your design inspiration! Whether a dress, an invitation, color scheme, or some other design element from your wedding plan, we are inspired by it all! However, we do have a particular clean and modern aesthetic we approach our work with. Since we do not copy other work, we don't often find other artists cake photos helpful in the process. Is there something in our portfolio on our website you're drawn to? Please let us know!
Absolutely! We LOVE working with fresh flowers. We're happy to work directly with your florist to decorate your cake using flowers that match the rest of your event. Your florist is not permitted to decorate any of our work themselves. If you're not already working with a florist, we can source flowers for your cake at an additional cost. We will try to follow your particular color scheme but specific requests are based on availability with the local florist we work with.
No, we do not work with fondant at this time. Our cakes are made using Swiss Meringue Buttercream and sometimes chocolate ganache.
You bet! We LOVE working with clients to create the dessert table of their dreams. From bars, cookies, macarons and much more, we offer a variety of treats to please your aesthetic and hungry guests! Dessert offerings also begin at approx. $6 per serving.
