The archived menu of Belle Cakery described a selection of full-size cakes, and this page summarizes them without prices or ordering information.

The cakes

Sizes

Cakes came in three round sizes: 7.5 inches for roughly eight to ten people, 9.5 inches for fifteen to twenty and 12 inches for twenty-five to thirty.

Planning ahead

The shop recommended about a week’s notice for cakes, since shorter timelines limited the choices.

See individual desserts for single-serving versions.
