A Special Collection

Lydia Bloom & Butter Boutique:
Beyond Buttercream

Six flavors. No classics, no safe choices, nothing ordinary. Each one made to order for the person who wants a cake that tastes as interesting as it looks.

The Story Behind These Cakes

I wanted to make cakes that make you stop, think, and notice. Where you take a bite and something unexpected happens — something that makes you pleasantly curious, asking yourself "wait, what flavor is that?" Intentionally unexpected combinations for an elevated sweet treat. $110. Made to order. Nothing ordinary.

Each flavor is being tested in my kitchen before it ever reaches yours. When they're ready they'll be made to order, 6-inch, and I really hope you love them as much as I love making them.

Every cake in Lydia Bloom & Butter Boutique is made with the intention of being visibly different — unique and unexpected in all the best ways. These are not flavors chosen from a list. They are intentional combinations made for when you're feeling curious, adventurous, and ready for something entirely out of the ordinary.

Each 6-inch cake is made entirely by hand, one at a time, for the person who ordered it. Nothing is baked before it is needed. Nothing is made without care.

Limited Spots

Become a Founding Tester

These six cakes exist right now only in my imagination. They are flavor combinations I have built entirely in my head — layered, tested in theory, and obsessed over on paper. Before they become real cakes, I want to make them real with real people at the table.

As a Founding Tester you pay only the cost of ingredients — no markup, no labor charge. Some of these flavors use specialty ingredients that are genuinely expensive (saffron, pistachio paste, yuzu), so costs vary by cake. In return I ask for honest feedback and permission to photograph the cake.

You get to taste something that doesn't exist yet. I get to build it with you. Everyone wins.
