TIERS AND TREATS CAKERY

The Moment You See It,
You Will Know

Custom wedding cakes for couples in Saratoga Springs and the Capital District - one of a kind, deeply personal, and made to be tasted as much as admired.

There Is a Moment
We Live For

It happens every time.

The doors open. The room settles. And then - there it is. Your cake. Your cake. More beautiful than you pictured it. Exactly right in ways you cannot quite explain. The one that somehow captures the color of your bouquet, the softness of your venue's lighting, the feeling of the two of you together.

You go quiet for just a second.
And then you turn to each other.

That moment - the one before the words come - is why we do this work. It is the reason every tier is crafted by hand, every flower petal is shaped with intention, and every flavor pairing is chosen to make your guests close their eyes on the first bite.

At Tiers and Treats Cakery, we do not make cakes from a catalog. We make yours. The one that could only exist for your wedding, in your colors, telling your story.

We are currently welcoming couples celebrating in Saratoga county and the Capital region in New York.

THE DESIGN PROCESS

It Starts With You
Telling Me Everything

Not just your color palette. Not just your venue. Everything.

How he proposed. What she was wearing. The season you fell in love. The song that plays in the background of your relationship without either of you ever choosing it. The flavor that takes you back to something good.

This is where your cake begins — in conversation, in the details most people do not think to share with their baker, because most bakers never think to ask.

We ask.

From that first conversation, we build a design that reflects something true about who you are as a couple. You will see it sketched out before a single tier is baked. You will taste before you commit. And when your wedding day arrives, you will recognize your cake the way you recognize a photograph of a place you love — immediately, completely, with something that feels a little like relief.

This is yours. We got it right.

The Details That
Make It Yours

Buttercream Palette Painting

There are no prints on our cakes. No transfers. No shortcuts.

Every stroke of color is applied by hand — the way a painter approaches a canvas, with full intention and no two moments exactly the same. Some designs lean into abstraction: sweeping color fields, painterly texture, atmosphere rather than image. Others take shape as something more recognizable — a bloom, a landscape, a moment rendered in buttercream. Most live somewhere beautifully in between.

What they all share is this: you cannot replicate them. You cannot order them twice. The brushstroke that catches the light in your reception photos exists once, on your cake, because it came from a conversation about you.

Wait, is that painted?
It is. Just for you.

Wafer Paper Florals

If you have ever held a pressed flower up to the light and watched it go translucent at the edges — you understand something of what wafer paper florals can do.

Delicate. Organic. Almost impossibly light.

Each petal is cut, shaped, and colored by hand. In their most realistic form, they mirror the flowers in your bouquet so closely that guests reach out to touch them. In their most abstract form, they become something closer to sculpture — loose, layered, expressive. Color bleeding into color. Petals that suggest rather than depict.

Both are beautiful. We love both. And we will help you find the version that belongs on your cake.

Flavor Pairings That Earn a Second Slice

Here is something we believe deeply: your guests should be talking about how good your cake tasted — not just how beautiful it looked.

That means we take flavor as seriously as design. The tasting consultation is its own kind of experience — unhurried, intentional, built around your palate and the feeling you want the dessert course to carry. We will introduce you to combinations you have not considered. We will find the one that makes you look at each other and say, that one.

Beauty and flavor are not a trade-off. At Tiers and Treats, they are always both.

Our Story

New Address. Five Years of Wedding Days Behind Us.

Tiers and Treats Cakery is newly planted in New York - and we are here because this region deserves the kind of wedding cake work we do.

Tiers and Treats Cakery is new to New York — but the baker behind it is not new to weddings.

For five years, under the name Cakes in Vermont, I created custom wedding cakes for couples across central Vermont — earning their trust one consultation at a time, one flavor pairing at a time, one delivery at a time. The reviews, the referrals, the couples who came back for anniversary cakes — that history came with me when I crossed the state line.

My love of baking started long before any of that. It started in my grandmother's farmhouse kitchen, where taking extra care with something made for someone else was simply understood. That is still how I work. Every cake is baked fresh, designed from scratch, and delivered by someone who genuinely cares how your day goes.

Tiers and Treats Cakery is the next chapter — brought to Saratoga Springs and the Capital District with five years of wedding experience, a portfolio full of one-of-a-kind designs, and the same belief I started with: that your wedding cake should be one of the most memorable parts of the day

New to New York. Not New to This.

Fully Committed to Your Day.

Five years. Dozens of wedding cakes. Couples who still send notes.

Before Tiers and Treats Cakery had a New York address, it had a Vermont one — and a track record built on the kind of work that earns referrals long after the wedding day is over.

We are bringing that experience here. To Saratoga Springs. To the Capital District. To couples who deserve a cake artist who has already worked through every challenge the wedding day can throw at a delivery, who knows how to read a venue, coordinate with a planner, and make sure the cake looks exactly right when the room fills up.

We are new to this region. We are not new to any of this.

And we cannot wait to be part of your day.

If you are planning a wedding in Saratoga Springs, Albany, Schenectady, Troy, or anywhere in the Capital District region, we would be honored to be part of your day.
