Whether it’s a Disney-themed birthday party or a Super Bowl Sunday gathering, Layers can make a cake for any occasion. Some recent work includes a chocolate cake shaped like a suitcase, complete with passports made of frosting and an intricate wedding cake that appears to be a bouquet of white flowers suspended in air. It’s like edible art. If one-of-a-kind edible artworks aren’t what you’re after, Layers also has an array of standardized cakes ready to order, from tiramisu to tres leches.
