2026 Wedding: Baker
The Cake Vault
A gluten-free cake with black sesame ganache and salted caramel. A honey lavender and lemon confection with lavender buttercream and lemon curd. And an old-fashioned spiced apple cake with brown butter cream cheese buttercream. Those are among the flavors Esy Arthur layers into her gorgeous (and delicious) nontraditional wedding cakes, which can range from a pretty oval design with a mix of dainty and vintage piping to a structural sweet complete with a disco ball that holds up two of the three tiers. A recent addition to her pastry prowess: a 17-pound tiramisu, because big desserts are now a thing.
