Special Buttercream Cakes

Weber’s Bakery offers beautiful and creative buttercream cake designs featuring ruffles, rosettes, ombré textures, and more. These cakes must use buttercream icing on the outside because it holds shape better than whipped cream and allows for vibrant coloring. However, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or custard fillings are still an option inside the cake.

I’ve been getting cakes for my kids and grandkids from Weber’s for years. When I want a fresh and tasty dessert, I always go to Weber’s. The service is fast, the prices are fair, and everything—from bread to pastries to cakes—is amazing. The cakes are super moist and soft. You really need to try it for yourself!

My husband and I ordered a carrot cake ring and a cannoli cake online. We got a text when it was ready and picked it up without any problems. Both cakes were fresh and tasted amazing. It was the best cake we’ve had in years—and it didn’t cost much! Weber’s is now our favorite bakery.
