Catering Your Way!

Are you a Modern Bride?

Offer your guests a variety of nontraditional desserts! Let them choose from our French Pastries, Anniversary Assortment or if you just love Chocolate Dipped Strawberries - look no further.

A Traditional Bride?

Give your guests their own piece of cake - a cupcake! From minis to our double sized, we have endless cupcake flavors to create your own personal touch. In need of a Grooms cake? Got it! From our Orange Almond Cake to our sinful Cuatro Leches, our layer cakes offer delicious options to fit any taste.

Or a Do It Yourself Bride?

Know exactly what you want? We offer our freshly baked cakes so you can personally create your own vision. Love the idea of cupcakes, but not the look of those craft store "cupcake trees"? We can assist you in getting the proper equipment to display your cupcakes. We also have connections to some of the best vendors in the Metro area for the rest of your equipment needs.

Bridal Showers - check! Bachelorette Parties - check! Mother / Daughter Teas - check! From the engagement to the honeymoon, we'll do your wedding the right way - your way!

Who Says Cupcakes are Just for Kids?

They're multigenerational! OK, enough with the big words. Our Cupcake Party Kit will bring out the kid in you. Nekkid cupcakes, buttercream, sprinkles, casting sugars, spatulas and even the tablecloth. Open the box and let the fun begin - just look at the smiles on these people's faces - the kids AND the adults.

On June 18th, Bittersweet Café was home to our wildest cupcake decorating party yet. Over 75 guests attended the iMAGINE Alexandria blender. Their mission is to "organize a community and create a cooperative space for commercial creative professionals to get inspired, grow their businesses, share resources, and highlight their work to partners, customers and the general public." With five teams of these creative professionals crafting their own outrageous versions of our 9" GIANT Cupcake we definitely saw some unique versions of our tasty cakes!
