A Personal Touch from First Consultation to Final Slice

Lindsay Fiore is the friendly expert leading wedding consultations at the bakeshoppe. With over a decade of experience coordinating wedding desserts — and personal ties to the shoppe’s history (her own wedding cake came from here) — Lindsay guides couples toward designs they adore, while ensuring taste and style align perfectly.

It’s not just about selling a cake — it’s about building relationships. Many couples return for anniversary cakes, baby‑shower desserts, and birthday treats — proof that this isn’t just a vendor, but a trusted milestone partner.

Custom Cakes Tailored to Every Vision at The Village Bake Shoppe

Whether a bride already knows her dream design or prefers to explore, The Village Bake Shoppe works with clients every step of the way — from sketching ideas to custom flavor profiles. Tastings are complimentary, and options span rich classics to whimsical favorites like funfetti or lemon swirl.

Flavors include almond, carrot, red velvet, pineapple, chocolate, and more. Fillings range from fruit jams to mousse and custard, even cannoli-style. Frostings vary — cream cheese, buttercream, cinnamon cream cheese, whipped cream — ensuring each bite perfectly complements the couple’s vision.

Planning Tips for Brides-to-Be

To ensure everything is perfect:

• Schedule a complimentary cake tasting early — flavors and designs can take time to finalize.

• Communicate dietary or wedding‑day logistics in advance.

• Consider combining a tiered cake with dessert stations or cupcake displays to accommodate guest preferences and showcase variety.

Lindsay and her team remain available from that first meeting through delivery and setup, creating a seamless dessert experience.
