While, for many, the idea of a wedding cake is a must-have for any marriage celebration, wedding dessert options have evolved over the years. Despite the fact that some may opt for cupcakes, cookies, or even donuts, the wedding cake remains a strong choice. For some, no wedding is complete without a beautifully unique cake that gets everyone talking–about the appearance AND the taste, meaning you need to look at cake bakeries to find the best one to bring your vision to life.

There are many great cake bakeries in the Austin area that offer incredible cake-making services! Here are just a handful of the amazing locations where you can find a unique cake for any occasion.

Casa Costa Bake Shop

“Located in the heart of Old Town, Leander, Casa Costa is in a beautiful, remodeled 1930 house, or “casa”. We offer original, homemade recipes from our multi-cultural family from the United States, Portugal, and Brazil.”

Looks can be deceiving, and this bake shop packs big flavors and unique cakes into its relatively small remodeled-house location. Casa Costa Bake Shop is truly one-of-a-kind that exemplifies all things family: family-owned, family recipes, and family pride. In addition to a host of delicious looking treats, their website has an extensive gallery of the many shockingly-beautiful cakes they have made. As you’ll see by the detailed cake form, Casa Costa is prepared to make any cake you can dream of.

Sweet Treets Bakery

“Rooted in Austin and inspired by the creative spirit of our community, we believe in collaboration, celebration, and cake that brings people together.”

Like many on this list, Sweet Treets Bakery offers multiple options for those seeking a bite of something delicious, but they’re more widely known for their cakes. With award-winning decorators on their team, this woman-owned bakery is proud to deliver bold, creative designs crafted with rich and delicious flavors. Their website has what seems like an exhaustive list of the flavors they offer for fillings and cakes, but their team is happy to experiment and create the perfect flavor for you! You’ll also find testimonials, an FAQ section, and a custom cake form. They also have options for vegan and gluten free cakes.

Cakes by Vivi

With Cakes by Vivi, cakes are in the name, and this bakery offers a truly unique range of cake options. Owner and baker Vivi once worked as head cake designer at one of Austin’s oldest bakeries, Sweetish Hill, but when they closed in 2018, she had the opportunity to start her own cake-baking legacy. From traditional to the exotic, their website showcases all of the many wonderful cakes they can create (check out that cake that looks like it’s made with copper metal!). Cakes by Vivi is dedicated to making every occasion extraordinary with an edible masterpiece. With an extensive menu of cake flavors, American buttercream and Swiss buttercream icings, and vegan options, you won’t know which combination to choose.
