3D Sculpted Cakes in San Francisco & the Bay Area
Every sculpted cake starts as a sketch and becomes a fully edible work of art. We hand-sculpt cakes into characters, objects, animals, sneakers, designer bags, video game items, anime figures, and anything else you can imagine. Our sculpting process uses layered cake structure with fondant, modeling chocolate, and rice cereal treats to achieve shapes that look impossible but taste amazing.
Since 2012, we've created sculpted cakes for birthdays, graduations, retirements, baby showers, and corporate events across the Bay Area. Popular requests include Minecraft cakes, Star Wars characters, sports themes, luxury brand replicas, and custom mascots for company events.

Sculpted Cake Pricing
3D sculpted cakes start at $300 for simpler designs (shaped cakes with fondant detailing). Complex sculptures with multiple structural elements, hand-painted details, or moving parts range from $400-$650+. Size, serving count, and intricacy all factor into pricing. We provide a detailed quote after reviewing your design concept.
Sculpted Cake FAQ
Can you really make a cake look like anything?
Yes — we've sculpted cakes shaped like sneakers, Faberge eggs, sewing machines, military tanks, chess sets, designer handbags, and dozens of cartoon characters. If you can picture it, we can build it. Send us a reference image and we'll let you know what's possible.
How far in advance should I order a sculpted cake?
We recommend 2-4 weeks for sculpted cakes, though we can sometimes accommodate shorter timelines for simpler designs. Complex multi-element sculptures may need 4-6 weeks. Contact us as early as possible to secure your date.
Are sculpted cakes fully edible?
The vast majority of every sculpted cake is edible — real cake layers, buttercream filling, fondant, and modeling chocolate. For very tall or structurally challenging designs, we may use food-safe internal supports (dowels and boards) that are removed before serving.
Do you deliver sculpted cakes?
Yes — we personally deliver and set up sculpted cakes throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Given the structural complexity, we strongly recommend delivery over pickup for sculpted designs. Delivery is included within 20 miles of our Daly City studio.
