Owner

Pastries A-La Carte is a family owned business that began with the owner baking fresh, unique cakes right from her home. Due to the popularity of her products, she opened her own store front on April 9, 2004 and now boasts an extensive product line of pastries, pies, cakes, cupcakes, danishes, cheesecakes, specialty cookies, and more. Pastries A-La Carte is featured through many local establishments such as: Aramark (in association with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Pirates), The Georgetown Centre, LeMont, George Washington Hotel, and more.

We take pride in what we do. From the moment you set up an appointment, you'll be walked through the process of designing your dream cake - from sampling cake flavors and icings, to viewing all of the possibilities of wedding cakes previously created at our store. Most of our consultations are done with our owner, who has personally made hundreds of wedding cakes throughout her career. When selecting a bakery to create your wedding cake, you'll find no other local Pittsburgh bakery that can boast baking the finest and freshest cakes like we do.

    We were thrilled to have Pastries A-La-Carte bake the wedding cake and desserts for our special day. From start to finish, they were organized and accommodating in their communication, which we really appreciated during the busy wedding planning process. The quality and value of their baked goods was outstanding - the cakes and pastries were simply decadent and scrumptious. Their hardworking and smooth execution ensured everything came together perfectly the day of our wedding. It was an honor to work with such a caring crew at Pastries A-La-Carte. Their efforts truly enhanced our celebration and we cannot recommend them highly enough to other couples planning their weddings.

    Pastries A-La-Carte created a beautiful cake for our wedding day! Communication with them was easy and smooth throughout the planning process. We ordered both a gluten-free sheet cake and a sweetheart cake. The sheet cake was a hit - even our gluten-free guests raved about how moist and delicious it was! Our sweetheart cake was so tasty too. We did have a small hiccup when I picked up the cake - it was in a different system. But they brought the cake out and everything was fine. Despite that little scare, our cake looked and tasted perfect on the big day. The whole cake was beautifully decorated and added a lovely, sweet touch to our wedding. We were so pleased with their work and prices. I would happily order from Pastries A-La-Carte again!
