WHY The usual faddish cupcakes (red velvet, dark chocolate, vanilla bean) and beautiful whole cakes to order in advance—for true comfort, get the Mom’s Birthday Cake, a yellow cake with milk-chocolate frosting that will leapfrog you back to the ’50s.

WHAT A small and stylish bake shop specializing in cupcakes to go (large or mini), tiny one-serving icebox desserts (key lime pie, Dirt Cake) and impeccably frosted whole cakes.

WHO Chic Montana moms ordering party cakes.
