Live Cake Painting for Weddings & Events

A one-of-a-kind experience where your cake is hand-painted in real time during your celebration.

Based in Saratoga Springs, serving the Capital Region and beyond.

Part art. Part experience.

You choose the baker. We bring the artistry.

We work directly on your finished cake, applying a custom design during your event. We’ll coordinate with your baker to ensure the surface is ready, then paint on-site, typically during cocktail hour.

The result is both a beautiful cake and a live experience your guests won’t forget.

Our approach

At The Painted Cake Company, Suzanne paints directly onto your cake during the event, creating a live artistic moment your guests will actually remember.

This is more than dessert. It is part entertainment, part artistry, and part celebration detail, all brought together in one thoughtful experience.

Whether you want a soft floral design, a romantic wedding-inspired piece, or something playful and unexpected, each cake is painted live with care, creativity, and a strong sense of occasion.

Providing you and your guests with an artistic experience.

A live experience
Guests get to watch the design come to life in real time.

A beautiful focal point
Your cake becomes part of the atmosphere, not just the dessert table.

Personal and flexible
Designs can be tailored to your event style, florals, colors, and overall vibe.

Made to fit the moment
Elegant, artistic, whimsical, romantic, or a little unexpected. Suzanne brings versatility while keeping the presentation polished and elevated.

Meet Suzanne

Suzanne is the artist behind The Painted Cake Company, where she brings together her love of painting, detail, and celebration. Her work is rooted in a lifelong appreciation for art, with a style that leans soft, romantic, and expressive.

She is drawn to moments that feel meaningful and personal, and her approach to cake painting reflects that. Each piece is created with intention, blending technique with intuition to complement the event it’s part of.

What began as a creative outlet has evolved into a way to share art in a more interactive, memorable setting.

“Having The Painted Cake Company at your event is a must. You get a beautiful, delicious cake, and the live painting adds a fun experience guests love.”

Wedding Cakes

Your cake should feel like a natural extension of your wedding. Thoughtful, beautiful, and designed with intention.

We work closely with each couple to create a custom wedding cake that reflects the tone of the day. From soft watercolor florals to more minimal, modern finishes, every element is considered from structure and scale to color and placement.

Guests don’t just see the cake, they watch it come to life.

Designer’s Choice

starting at $350

A custom design created in the moment, inspired by your wedding’s florals, colors, and overall aesthetic.

For couples who have a specific vision or concept in mind, this option allows for a more tailored and intentional design approach. This may include a cake inspired by a specific painting, a scene from your ceremony or venue, a full wrap design around the cake, or a more detailed and structured composition. Final pricing is determined based on the complexity and scope of the design.
