Wedding Cakes & Desserts
Your wedding cake is more than just dessert—it’s a centerpiece that tells your love story. We are passionate about designing wedding cakes that are not only stunning but also personal to you, ensuring every detail reflects the beauty and uniqueness of your special day.
01.
Schedule an Optional
In-Person or To-Go Tasting
You are not required to have a consultation before inquiring about or placing an order. Our in-person tastings and design consultations are led by Sweet Elevations’ owner and lead cake artist, Alicia Permenter. During the consultation, Alicia will guide you through a tasting of our most popular cake flavors, offering her expertise on the textures and flavor profiles to help you make the best choices for your special day. With her deep knowledge, she’ll also assist in designing your perfect wedding cake and desserts, making sure each element enhances your overall experience.
In addition, Alicia will outline the next steps and discuss any additional options for planning your wedding cake and specialty desserts. Up to four people, including the couple, are welcome to attend the tasting and consultation.
Unable to attend an in-person tasting? Place an order for a to-go tasting box. Fulfillment of to-go tasting boxes are based on availability.

Custom Dessert Tables
Have you ever considered delighting your guests with a wider array of dessert options? One of the latest trends in celebrations and events is the inclusion of a dessert table. These tables offer guests the chance to indulge in a variety of sweet treats in a buffet-style setting.
Our custom-designed dessert tables start at $1200. This package includes your choice of a minimum of four dessert selections from our menu, styling of the dessert table (including rental of décor, platters, trays, and stands), delivery, setup, breakdown, and retrieval of our décor within a 50-mile radius of our baking studio in Fort Washington, Maryland. Please note, we are not responsible for discarding any uneaten desserts after the event.
The design of your dessert table is inspired by the décor of your celebration or event, ensuring a cohesive and visually stunning presentation.
For desserts requiring placement on a pre-set table, we offer a dessert placement service for an additional fee. Alternatively, desserts can be ordered à la carte to suit your specific needs.
