Pastry Xpo offers many years of experience founded on tradition and quality service. Because of the support of our many satisfied customers, we present the 2009 Wedding Cake Gallery.
In your search for the perfect wedding cake, please take a moment to look through the various styles available, and let us make your dream wedding cake a reality.
Wedding Cake Flavors
Classic and delicious French-style butter cream icing is standard for all our wedding cakes. No artificial colors or flavors, simply whole eggs, cane sugar and sweet cream butter. Our butter cream is a natural ivory color, smooth and luscious.
We use a classic genoise cake as our standard cake that can be flavored as desired. All flavorings are natural, liqueur-based syrups - no artificial flavorings.
The table below lists our variety of choices that can be combined however you desire.
