Devil's Food Cake

Buttercream

The difference between chocolate cake and devil’s food cake is in the baking soda, but the distinction is easily seen. Devil’s food has a rich dark chocolate color and, unlike most chocolate cake, it is far moister. (We have found none more moist than ours!) Your guests will be glad you shared. Deerfields’ traditional buttercream is rich in taste and smooth in texture – truly like no other. The secret is how the ingredients are blended together.

Yellow(Vanilla) Cake

Chocolate Buttercream

Don’t let tradition rule your taste buds. Our yellow cake is moist and still light enough in color to pass for white cake. The secret is in our family recipe. A delicious blend of Deerfields’ signature buttercream and chocolate make this subtle combination a perfect choice.

White Cake

Whipped Cream

Available for “traditional” white cake lovers. White cake is an acquired taste and not recommended for those who expect an exceptionally moist cake, as the egg yolk is left out of the recipe. Can also be dyed pink or green. Our non-dairy whipped cream is a tasty alternative to traditional wedding frostings. Cakes with whipped cream icing must be refrigerated (cannot be left out for more than an hour). Decorations are limited. The effect on your taste buds, however, makes it worth the trouble.

Strawberry Cake

Rolled Fondant

A fruity twist on a traditional white cake. Strawberry preserves are blended into the mix, and the result is both flavorful and colorful. A natural flavor that melts in your mouth, rolled fondant is a confectionery mixture made from sugar. It is crystallized to a smooth white mass which is rolled out and molded onto the cake layers. It is similar in texture to marzipan. The overall effect is tailored and opulent. It can be made in custom colors as well.

Fantasia (Marble)

Fudge

Our house specialty is marbling the white cake and devil’s food cake together This dark, rich, creamy frosting or filling gives chocolate aficionados a punch of flavor, and adds some drama to any nuptial celebration.

Pound Cake

Cream Cheese

Unlike the name suggests, our pound cake is light in taste and very moist (it’s that dash of cream cheese we’ve added). Commonly used in combination with carrot cake. The weight of cream cheese usually requires the sides of the cake to be left smooth, combed, or decorated in a basket weave pattern.

Banana Cake

 
So infused with bananas, you can smell the fruit. No secret here, real bananas are whipped into the mix.  

Carrot Cake

 
Fresh carrot shavings, raisins and pecans are loaded into the cake batter. No flavor substitutes, whatsoever.  

Red Velvet Cake

 
The recipe for our most sumptuous, velvety red cake will remain a secret, but we can tell you the color of love is a perfect surprise in any wedding cake.  

Lemon Cake

 
Yellow cake made zesty with natural lemon flavor.
