Custom Cakes vs. Store-Bought Cakes: What’s the Real Difference?

When planning a celebration, you might wonder whether to order a custom cake or grab one from a grocery store.

Here’s what sets custom cakes apart:

🎂 Made-to-Order Freshness

Custom cakes are baked specifically for your event, not mass-produced days in advance.

🎨 Personalized Design

Every detail reflects your event:

  • Name and age
  • Theme colors
  • Unique decorations

🍰 Higher-Quality Ingredients

From scratch baking and real buttercream make a noticeable difference in taste and texture. Not to mention the use of homemade vanilla extract that really sets flavors apart.
