Welcome, and thank you for your interest in The Turtle Bread Company's wedding cakes.
At Turtle Bread you will find unusual and extraordinary wedding cakes, exquisitely decorated and with flavors such as Triple Chocolate, Blackberry Mousse, and Carrot, flavors that you cannot find elsewhere.
We are hoping to begin a new tradition with beautiful wedding cakes that are as pleasing to the palette as they are to eye.
The most exciting part of the many decision for a wedding cake for many brides is the flavors of their cakes. The Turtle Bread Company is proud to offer our customers a variety of cakes made with only the finest ingredients. All our cakes are made from scratch, using sweet butter (shortening is never used), fresh whole cream, European chocolates, and fresh fruits.
For
true chocolate lovers. Four layers of moist devil's food cake, filled with
three layers of classic milk chocolate butter cream, frosted with a black
velvet semi-sweet icing, and then topped with a reinda saba semi-sweet, bitter
chocolate glaze. Four flavors of chocolate all in one, and popular with a
wide range of palettes.
An
incredible combination of chocolate and fruit-the best of both worlds! Four
layers of moist devil's food cake, filled with three layers of blackberry
mousse, and frosted with a white velvet, white chocolate icing. Simply divine.
A
true lemon lover's favorite and a wonderful alternative to chocolate! Four
layers of our lemon poppy seed genoise, each layer soaked with a lemon syrup,
filled with a light lemon mousse, and frosted with a classic lemon butter
cream.
Three
layers of incredibly moist carrot cake, full of walnuts and carrots, filled
with two layers of cream cheese icing and frosted with the same. A wonderful
option for anyone looking for a different wedding cake.
The price of your wedding cake is determined by the number and size of the cakes, the type of cake decoration (basic, rolled fondant), the type of tiering, the amount of additional decorations (gold leaf, etc.), and delivery requirements.

When choosing the size of your wedding cake, you have many factors to consider. One common question is whether or not to save the top tier for your first anniversary.
From our experience, some people still carry on this tradition. Wrapped tightly, and without a lot of thawing and refreezing, the tradition can be carried on successfully.
At the time of delivery, we can supply your caterer with a special box for the top tier, along with a chart with slicing instructions for the entire cake. You can choose the size and quantity of cakes in your wedding cake depending on the number of servings and the type of presentation you are looking for.
Another factor you will consider when designing your wedding cake is how you would like the cake to be tiered-would you like it stacked, separated, or both. You can choose how your cake is stacked or separated depending on the type of presentation you are looking for.
Basic staking-placing the cakes directly on top of one another-is a popular option. If you are looking for a taller presentation, we can separate each layer with pillars. You can also have a combined presentation by stacking some layers and separating others.
If you want a particularly grand cake, but do not have large amounts of guests to serve, we can add one or two "fake cakes" (foam cakes decorated to look like the rest of your cake) on the bottom of you wedding cake to give it an even more impressive presentation.
| Basic Stacking | No Charge | |
| Pillars and Plates | $50.00 | |
| Extra Fake Cakes | 1/2 the cost of real cake |
We charge 50.00 for all deliveries within a 10 mile radius of The Turtle Bread Company, and 75.00 beyond that.
