Cake Is Special, Anyway You Cut It

Gourmet Cakes have always been somewhat elegant, in a class all their own, with enough swag to properly mark life's special occasions.

Just a few years ago, something cool happened. Reality TV brought the art of cake decorating to living rooms across America, and the bar was forever raised. At LaSalle, we couldn't be happier. We've always believed that cake is art. To see what we mean, browse our online photos – or challenge us to create an awesome, one-of-a-kind crowd-pleaser.

But all the decorating in the world doesn't mean a thing unless a cake is delicious, right?

One taste will tell the story. LaSalle's gourmet cakes are created with a near-reverence, to be delicate, light, and perfectly right.

Not too sweet, with a beautiful texture and taste. Gourmet Cakes that really do take the cake.

Cake FAQs

Sometimes, You Just Have Questions. Well, Here Are The Answers.

Our incredible team of cake decorators has years of experience – all masters of confection!

Get things started by checking us out online, our online gallery offers a multitude of styles to give you an idea of what is available. Don't see exactly what you are looking for? Give us a call, our cake specialists are on staff Monday-Saturday and would be more than happy to assist you!

Absolutely! Take a look at our online cake gallery, featuring some of the coolest gourmet cakes you'll ever see. We absolutely love the challenge of working with our customers. We're never happier than when we get a call from a customer who says, "When I brought out the cake, people went crazy!"

We require 14 days for specialty gourmet cakes, please call for more information. 48 hours' notice for most gourmet cakes, and 3-6 months for wedding gourmet cakes. But keep in mind that we are known for making magic happen, despite the most challenging deadlines! If you are unsure, give us a call, and we can review options that fit with your time frame.

If you're crazy busy – or maybe you just like living on the edge – we always have extra gourmet cakes on hand for you. We'll put your words on a ribbon and lay it across your cake. "Happy Birthday, Joe!" on a fruit flan or "Congratulations, Sue!" on a tiramisu.

Of course, you should let your taste decide, but factor this in. Buttercream is made from an Italian meringue buttercream and must be refrigerated. White frosting is sugar-based and doesn't need to be kept cold. Oh, and did we mention that both are delicious?

A layered cake is different from a tiered cake. Take a look at the examples below to see the difference.

We, unfortunately, do not sell gluten-free or nut-free bakery items. While we do take precautions against nut contamination, we cannot guarantee. We do not recommend ordering if a nut allergy is a concern, as we are not a nut-free environment.
