Cake is usually what accompanies the happiest festivities of our lives.
At Honey Crumb Cake Studio, we bring art, couture, and a fresh design perspective
to the science of baking, in celebration of the sweetness of life.
We're in Issaquah, WA, and serve the greater Seattle area. We can deliver up to 100 miles from Bellevue, WA.
We're proud of our beautiful, exquisitely tasty things: custom wedding cakes, birthday cakes, specialty cakes of all sizes and shapes (including sculpted cakes), corporate cakes, specialty cupcakes, and handpainted cookies.
See our Pricing and Ordering pages for more details. If you're new to our services at Honey Crumb,
we hope that our FAQ page addresses your most pressing questions.
Our first-rate, personal service begins with a cake tasting and consultation, where clients sample delicious cake and discuss designs in a relaxed, creative atmosphere. Hand-drawn sketches of cake possibilities are produced especially for you, and we provide exact quotes that take each client's budget into account.
We liaise and coordinate with your event planner, caterer, and florist as needed
to guarantee a professional and stress-free experience.
We accept a limited number of event bookings per week to guarantee full dedication and the highest quality work. Appointments may be scheduled during business hours, Sundays through Wednesdays.
Equal parts elegant, whimsical, and contemporary, each Honey Crumb gourmet cake is scratch-baked
and hand-crafted to exacting standards, and will be an unforgettably delicious centerpiece.
Please, come in and have a taste!

Any of the cakes on our website can serve as a source of inspiration for your own confectionary centerpiece. These designs can be customized to suit your own unique tastes and the theme of your event, or we can come up with a completely new design, just for you!
Our wedding cakes can be delivered and set up throughout King County, WA, and even further afield (up to 200 miles beyond Seattle in every direction). Delivery fees depend on the distance traveled.
Contact Carla for a complimentary design consultation and tasting, and let Honey Crumb bring culinary artistry to your wedding day.
Note: We require at least one week's notice for all custom sculpted cake orders.

Our motto: No More Boring Cakes!
I'm Carla Reich, creative director of Honey Crumb. My intention is to bring art and couture into the kitchen, to create handmade, upscale desserts that are custom-tailored to your unique tastes. My policy is to use only premium, natural ingredients, and to bake from scratch so that quality is enhanced and tradition preserved. I devote great care to executing each confection with elegant precision.
Nonetheless, Honey Crumb is a small-scale studio that caters perfectly to the needs of design-conscious folks whose budget is not limitless. I consult with customers by appointment, as this permits me the time and freedom to pay attention to the tiniest details on each Honey Crumb custom cake. It's a delight for me to be involved in the most joyful celebrations and important milestones in my customers' lives.
My cake heroes are Maggie LaBaugh, Liz Shim, BethAnn Goldberg, Kaysie Lackey, and Ron Ben-Israel.
Honey Crumb Cake Studio of Issaquah, WA, specializes in one-of-a-kind celebration cakes for: Birthdays, Christenings, Baby Showers, Bridal Showers, Bar/Bat Mitzvoth, Corporate Parties, Christmas Parties, Wedding Anniversaries, Father's Day, Mother's Day, Retirement, Graduation, Film Premieres, Gallery Openings, Quinceañera, Sweet Sixteen Parties. Ask us about our: Custom Cupcakes, Candy Buffets, Dessert Tables, Cookie Bouquets, Cake Pops, Macarons, Cupcake Towers
We are dedicated to the use of first-class ingredients, and also to baking from scratch. A Honey Crumb custom cake stands nobly apart from the typical event cake with its dry, box-mix interior and greasy, shortening-based "buttercream." Instead, local dairies supply the delicious butter, cream and milk in our batters and frostings, we use organic ingredients wherever possible, and we have outlawed shortening and artificial flavors. In short, our cakes are mouth-watering symphonies of European chocolate, real extracts (vanilla, lemon, coconut, etc), free-range eggs, and fresh seasonal fruit. We're confident that you and your guests will taste the difference!
Custom Wedding and Celebration Cakes
$4 per serving and up. $100 minimum order.
Free delivery within 10-mile radius of Issaquah, WA, for cakes to serve 50 people or more.
Note: The price of a large event cake is typically calculated by the slice. Our per-portion base price includes an initial design consultation, a follow-up design consultation if needed, up to two cake design sketches, a ribbon-trimmed cake board, delivery (see above; small fee applies beyond Issaquah/Bellevue, and for smaller cakes), and setup/assembly of your cake on site by an experienced cake artist.
Complimentary cake tastings are offered to clients ordering a custom cake to serve 50 people or more.
For clients ordering smaller cakes, a cake tasting box to serve 4 (three cake flavors of your choice) is available for $20.
Our serving sizes are generous -- larger than conventional "event" portions -- at 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 5". This is a hearty dessert-sized serving, but it can be downsized if you are offering other desserts or a candy bar at your celebration.
Some possibilities for the decoration of your cake (pricing varies):
Handmade sugar flowers (these range from small blossoms, like stephanotis or hydrangea, to huge peonies, roses, magnolias, succulents, etc)
Ribbon trim (grosgrain, satin, etc)
Gumpaste or chocolate figurines
Carving or sculpting (e.g. tapered tiers, topsy-turvy tiers, "balance" cakes)
Hand-painting or piping (e.g. brush embroidery, swags, Swiss dots, etc)
Novelty Cakes (Edible Sculpture/Carved Cakes)
We know you hate to hear this, but pricing really does depend on your cake design, since each one is unique.
Our minimum order for any sculpted cake is $150.
As a guide, sculpted/carved cakes are charged according to the hours invested in their creation. This is why a three-tiered wedding cake that serves 120 might actually cost less than a 3-D sculpted birthday cake that feeds 40. Turning a photo of your beloved bulldog into an intricate edible sculpture can take many days of work.
Keep in mind, however, that we try our best to work with your budget. If necessary, please let us know what your limits are at the outset and we can then make appropriate design suggestions or modifications.
Gourmet Frosted Cupcakes
Minimum order quantity of one dozen. Endless flavor possibilities. Your choice of wrapper color/design.
Single-flavor dozen (regular size; filled, frosted and boxed) $30
Multi-flavor dozen (regular size; filled, frosted and boxed) $35
If you have a cupcake tower in mind, ask us about display options -- we have a number of contemporary cupcake stands available for rent.
Cupcake sprinkles (rainbow, colored sugar, chocolate sprinkles) are always free.
More elaborate decorations (sugar flowers, monograms, numbers, bows, figurines, etc) range from 25c to $5.00 each.
Specialty Sugar Cookies
Hand-decorated cookies from $3.00 each
Our sugar cookies are available in vanilla, chocolate, lemon zest, orange zest, and gingerbread. We can wrap them individually in cellophane bags with matching ribbons, to be presented as a lovely party favor (add $1). Minimum cookie order quantity is one dozen.
Stand/Pedestal Rental
(for Cakes, Mini Cakes or Cupcakes)
We have a range of cake stands and display pedestals to suit your event, ranging from sleek white porcelain, to Jadeite, milk glass, chrome, wood, wrought iron and antique ceramic. We also have transparent acrylic towers that can be customized to accommodate the number of cupcakes or mini-cakes that you wish you display. We can also build you a completely custom, elegant cupcake tower to match your color scheme.
Rental fee (depends on stand) $15.00 - $30.00
[Custom-built cupcake towers are $50 and up, to purchase.]
$50 deposit for all rental items, which is refunded to you (minus the rental fee) when the cake stand/pedestal is returned -- clean and unharmed -- within 5 days of the event.
Delivery and Setup
Some cakes require additional setup on site by the cake designer, and Carla will liaise with your venue to ensure that your cake is delivered on time and assembled without a hitch.
Cakes can be delivered almost anywhere within the greater Puget Sound region.
Please call us to inquire about delivery rates and options.
Honey Crumb Cake is a small, independent cake studio. Each of our designs is individually tailored. We dedicate the same meticulous attention to the decorative detail of your cake as we devote to its substance.
