Gristmill Cakes
Cakes for all Ocassions
When it comes to cakes, one cannot say, "a cake is a cake is a cake". Gristmill cakes look great and taste divine! We have been baking and decorating delicious beautiful cakes since our doors opened in January 1992. Our cakes are tall, moist and decorated to perfection. We have a number of cream and fruit fillings to choose from. Our homemade butter cream frosting is light and creamy. It provides just enough body and stiffness to allow for perfection in decorating without that "too sweet taste". We also feature a thick rich and equally delicious home-made cream cheese icing, fresh whipped cream, a light non-dairy whipped topping and an exquisitely rich chocolate ganache. The choice of topping may restrict the kind of decorating that can be done. We make our own rolled fondant as well, but rolled fondant is mainly for wedding cakes.
Bring in a picture!
Planning a theme party? Need the company logo on a cake? Want the cake to match the invitation or any other picture? We encourage our customers to bring in a picture when they want to order a cake. We'll match the colors and images as best we can. Many of the cakes featured here have been inspired by a picture that a customer has brought in.
