Baked per request

If you can dream it, she'll bake it.

The menu is only where Anika starts. A croissant tower for a brunch, the cake from your childhood, a dessert she's never made before — tell her what you're imagining and when you need it, and she'll take it from there.

1

Choose, or just ask

Pick your favorites from the menu — or request something that isn't on it. Anika bakes per request.

2

Tell us your date

At checkout you'll enter when you need it and any notes — allergies, a message, delivery or pickup.

3

Baked fresh for you

Anika bakes for your day, not before. You'll hear from her to confirm timing, then it's yours.

In the kitchen

Watch her bake.

No secrets here. Anika films the real thing, start to finish — braiding challah, pouring peanut brittle, piping macarons — so you know exactly whose hands your order comes from.
