THE STUDIO
A Modern Approach to Wedding Cakes
Marin Cake Studio is a commission-based dessert studio. We design and create a limited number of wedding cakes each season, allowing each piece to be carefully considered from first sketch to final detail.
This is not a traditional bakery. Every creation is designed for a specific moment and made as a one-of-one work. Because of that, availability is determined by studio capacity and your event date.
HOW WE WORK
The Commission Process
01
Conversation
Share your date and vision. We will discuss your celebration, aesthetic preferences, and how the cake fits into your day
02
Consultation
Meet at the studio to explore flavors and fillings. We will refine the design together, considering composition, palette, and texture.
03
Creation
Your piece is designed and handcrafted in the studio, then delivered to your venue on the day of your celebration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When should I order my wedding cake?
A: We recommend ordering your wedding cake two to four months before your wedding date. If your date falls during peak season or you want something highly custom, reach out even earlier. We occasionally accommodate last-minute orders if our schedule allows.
Q: Where can I get a wedding cake near me?
A: If you’re planning a wedding in Marin County, you can pick up your custom wedding cake from our storefront in San Rafael. We serve couples across San Rafael, Mill Valley, Novato, and nearby areas.
Q: Who traditionally pays for the wedding cake?
A: Most couples cover the cost of their wedding cake themselves. In some cases, family members contribute or offer it as a gift. We work directly with couples, planners, or whoever is handling the order.
Q: How much wedding cake do I need for 100 guests?
A: A three- to four-tier cake usually serves around 100 people. We’ll recommend the right size based on your guest count, whether you’re serving other desserts, and how large you want the slices to be.
Q: Do you offer cake tastings?
A: Yes, we offer tastings by request. You can try our most popular flavors and discuss your ideas during a consultation. Let us know your wedding date and we’ll help schedule a time that works for you.
Q: Can I customize the look of my wedding cake?
A: Absolutely. You can choose the size, number of tiers, flavor, color palette, florals, textures, and overall design. Bring inspiration photos or describe your vision, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Q: Where do most couples get their wedding cakes?
A: Most couples work with a local bakery that fits their style. Marin Cake Studio is trusted by couples and planners throughout Marin County for elegant, photo-ready wedding cakes that taste as good as they look.
