Ship Cake
Set sail on flavor with a centerpiece that captures the romance of the open water. We sculpt smooth tiers, carve a sleek hull profile, and finish with porthole details, gentle wave textures, and a polished deck that photographs beautifully. Choose classic vanilla and chocolate or add a citrus layer for a sunny surprise when you cut.
Personal touches make the display uniquely yours. Add a name plaque shaped like a ticket, a tiny anchor emblem, or a ribbon band that matches your linens. Structure is engineered for transport and tidy slicing, so service moves quickly while guests admire the silhouette.
For styling, keep the base simple. A glass pedestal, neutral linens, and a few seashell accents let the design shine without clutter. Keep the cake cool until the reveal, then slice with a warm knife for clean portions and crisp edges in every photo.
Planning a nautical birthday or bon voyage gathering. This ship themed cake carries the moment with effortless charm. Hosts who want a splash of color often add mini cupcakes topped with waves and flags so guests can nibble while plates are prepared.
If your celebration has a travel motif, a cruise ship theme cake ties the whole scene together in a single glance. Families who love a destination feel often place postcards or tiny suitcases near the base for a playful nod to adventure. And for milestone parties at sea or on land, a cruise ship birthday cake turns candle time into a keepsake snapshot.
Share your date, palette, and servings, and we will chart a course for a cake that looks balanced from every angle and tastes like vacation on a plate.
CAKE CARE
Keep your cake looking as good as it tastes!
HANDLING YOUR CAKE
Keep your cake box level with one hand on the bottom. This will prevent the layers from shifting and the sides of the box from denting your cake.
DRIVING WITH YOUR CAKE
Transport your cake in the flattest part of your vehicle. Do not place your cake on a seat as this may cause the layers to shift, or in an enclosed trunk without airflow. Please drive carefully with no sudden stops that may cause your cake to move. Our cakes are fragile, drive cautiously!
STORING YOUR CAKE
Your cake is delicate and sensitive to heat. The real butter we use in our frostings make our cakes more likely to melt in warm temperatures. Keep your cake cool by refrigerating it until 1 hour prior to serving. Do not freeze.
Do not let your cake sit out for more than two hours, or overnight. It may melt.
LEFTOVER CAKE
Extra cake?! Lucky, you have a sweet snack for the next day :). Simply store your leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to seven days. To freeze your cake, cover any open slices in parchment paper to preserve moisture and then wrap the entire cake as tightly as possible in plastic wrap. Next, put the plastic-wrapped cake in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
