Wedding Cakes in Charlotte, NC

Sunflour Baking Company designs bespoke wedding cakes for couples across the Charlotte metro area from our Ballantyne and Harrisburg bakeries. We make tiered buttercream cakes, fondant designs, hand painted and vintage or pearl finishes, and full mini dessert tables for receptions and rehearsal dinners.

Cake Tastings

Tastings are held at Harrisburg and Ballantyne by appointment and run 30 to 45 minutes. You will sit down with our chef to talk through your wedding, decor options, pricing, and mini pastries, and choose up to five cake flavors, up to five fillings, and up to five frostings. A tasting is $40 and serves two guests. That $40 covers the cake for your tasting and the time with our dedicated chef. Additional guest plates are $10 each. Tastings are scheduled weekdays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with minimal weekend availability from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM. To book, email harrisburg@sunflourbakingcompany.com or ballantyne@sunflourbakingcompany.com.
