We’ve spent the last 5 months on a break from custom order cakes to allow for some changes within our family. While we’re keeping the details of that within our family; we have found a little balance in our shift and are happy to announce that you can once again order 6” and 8” sized cakes.

While this won’t be our full menu from before, it’s a little more than just cupcakes. We’re keeping our design work a little simpler, but for those of you who just know that a party without a cake is just a meeting [Thanks Julia Child!], we hope even a limited menu is good news.

This change and all necessary information will be available on our website within the next few days and you can place small cake orders for pickup beginning on 1/23.

Head over to our CAKES page for additional information.

It’s not often enough that we say thank you, for the continued support and patronage of our little bakery.  We do not take lightly the honor of being a part of so many celebrations in our community!

Bettersweet has been creating custom order cakes, cupcake orders and special holiday menus for nearly 18 years.  And this year, we find ourselves in uncharted waters as two of our family members are walking though medical challenges and need continued support and care.  While we have been attempting to balance the bakery’s needs with increased care giving over the past several months, we are at a point where the first priority is our family. 

This means, we are shifting to offering only custom order cupcakes at this time.

This change will be effective on September 1^st, 2024.

Here’s a few key bits of information about this change:

~ At the end of August, our cake menu will be taken off of our website and we will be rolling out a new way to order; an order form on our website!  This will allow us to collect all the information needed for your cupcake order, while keeping communication streamlined and efficient, as time has become more precious than ever before.

~ We will continue to offer our full wedding services [including cakes, cupcakes and petite desserts]. 

~ For the time being, we will continue to offer our a la carte menus via Facebook.

~ We’re not sure what this holiday season will look like, but we’ll let you know as our plans are settled. 

~ We will be offering extra large cupcakes, a size that is perfect for you to add to your cupcake order and gift/serve to whomever you are celebrating.  

Thank you for supporting us.

Thank you for reaching out to other local bakeries if your celebration simply just calls for a cake. 

And thank you, for understanding. 

The Bettersweet Family: Curt, Jen, Margo & Abe.
