High quality custom cakes made from scratch with love and experience — designed for the moments worth remembering.
Every cake leaves my kitchen with a story — flour on the apron, a little sugar in the air, and the certainty that someone, somewhere, is about to celebrate.
— MichelleMichelle Wetsch is a custom cake artist based in Wake Forest, North Carolina — known for stunning, story-led designs and flavors people remember weeks later. You'll find her studio tucked inside Flavor District on Capital Blvd.
She's especially loved for her chocolate chip cake with chocolate ganache, her mocha, and a red velvet with cream cheese frosting that has ruined other red velvets for more than a few regulars.
Signature flavorsWhether it's a backyard birthday or a black-tie ballroom, every cake is designed from a conversation — never a catalog.
Birthdays, baby showers, graduations, retirements — and the random Tuesdays that deserve a cake anyway. Every order custom-made, every design built around your moment.
Tiered, floral, sculpted, or quietly simple — wedding cakes designed in partnership with you and your venue. Delivery and setup included for tiered orders.
Place the cake on your car's floorboard — not the seat. Make sure it isn't sliding during the drive.
Cakes do not like heat. Keep the A/C on for the whole drive. Never leave a cake in a parked car while running errands.
No sharp turns, sudden acceleration, or hard braking. Drive as if you have a full glass of water on your dashboard.
Keep the cake refrigerated — preferably in the box — until one hour before cutting. Don't leave it out for long stretches.
Once the cake leaves my hands, what happens to it is no longer my responsibility. I will not, under any circumstances, refund for something outside of my control. — Michelle

Place a board near your cake.
Slice right down one side and lay on the board.
Cut into slices.
Cut again through the middle for smaller portions.
Repeat with the rest of the cake.
Following these steps ensures every guest gets a clean, even slice — and that your cake goes as far as possible.
