Planning a Vermont Wedding? Sweet.
At Blue House Bakeshop, we make all kinds of desserts for weddings large and small all over the state of Vermont and beyond. We love working with couples to achieve a unique vision for their wedding dessert table. From large tiered wedding cakes, to a variety of different mini desserts, your imagination is the limit. Visit the photo gallery to see shots of past wedding cakes and dessert spreads, and fill out an inquiry form below if you’re interested in booking with us.
Our process
We like to start by getting to know you, the couple, through email, hearing about your wedding, and what desserts you are interested in. The inquiry form below is how we collect all the necessary info to get started. Once we have a good idea of what you’re looking for, we will send over an electronic estimate that includes a rough draft of the menu, delivery fees, etc. From there if we are feeling like a good fit budget and aesthetic wise, we can move on to scheduling a tasting and getting your date booked in our calendar.
Because we can only take on a limited number of weddings per season, we require a non-refundable deposit of $100 and a signed electronic contract to hold the date for your wedding in our calendar. Vermont wedding dates in May through October fill up very quickly, so we recommend reaching out a year or more in advance. If you’d like to have Blue House Bakeshop desserts at your wedding, please fill out the inquiry form below to start the process of booking.
Tastings
We are currently only offering to-go tastings, which can be ordered by any prospective couple provided we are available on your wedding date. These can be picked up from us in Shelburne, or we can happily deliver to you at your desired location for an added delivery fee. We do not ship wedding tastings. Samples range from $8-$15, and each is at least 3 full sized servings so you can share with family and friends. You can try as many items as you’d like, choosing from cake/cupcake and other baked items from our menus, or custom items tailored to your unique tastes.
Wedding cakes
A lovely wedding tradition, and the perfect centerpiece for your dessert table. We offer 10 different cake sizes ranging from 8 servings up to 108 servings. Check out our CAKE SIZE GUIDE to determine what size cake is right for your wedding size, budget, and desired aesthetic.
We absolutely love creating unique designs for wedding cakes. If you have a specific design in mind, we would be happy to recreate it using our own artistic style and abilities. Prices for custom designs are dependent on the amount of labor associated with creating the design. Do keep in mind that we do not work with fondant or sugar paste - just delicious buttercream!
There is no extra charge for adding fresh flowers or cake toppers. These are things that you would need to provide and have delivered to the venue for us to place onto the cake at the time of delivery and set up. Any time we spend styling these items would be covered in the delivery fee.
Dessert Bars
Not really that into cake? No problem! On our “other bakes” menu you will find a list of individual sized desserts that work perfectly for wedding dessert bars. We recommend ordering 1.5 to 2 times your expected guest count so that folks can go back for seconds (which they inevitably will want to).
Personally, our favorite wedding dessert tables include both a cake for the couple to cut and a variety of desserts for guests to choose from. It’s the best of both worlds!
Delivery
We deliver goodies for weddings all over the state of Vermont and surrounding areas for a standard rate based on time and mileage. Deliveries over 2 hours one-way may incur an additional fee for overnight lodging if needed. We offer both drop-off deliveries or full service set up and styling deliveries. Please note, we do not provide display pieces such as cake stands or platters - we recommend asking your venue if they have any on site, and if not, sourcing them yourselves from friends/family or even thrifting them secondhand! Picking up desserts from us in Shelburne, VT is also an option, though we strongly recommend adding delivery for orders that include tiered wedding cakes.
