Welcome to Sara Lime!

I design specialty cakes for San Francisco Bay Area weddings, showers, birthdays and other special events on a commission basis. You will find a lot of fresh flowers, twigs and herbs on my cakes, as well as insects, leaves, fruit and other objects that I have sculpted by hand. I believe cake should look as good as it tastes, so I spend as much time on the decorations as I do recipe testing. 

My recipes are drawn from classic French cooking and use traditional flavors done with a modern twist. I always choose high-quality ingredients, such as freshly ground spices, premium cocoas, fine extracts, organic butter and free-range eggs. Finding a perfect balance of flavors gives me inspiration for the design of the cake. For multi-tiered cakes, I like to do sketches and present them to my clients at the tasting. I then make adjustments based upon comments, timing, transportation logistics and weather conditions. A flawless technique combined with high-quality ingredients and proven recipes is what makes Sara Lime cakes special.
