Empire Cake

Empire Cake combines the best of traditional American baking with a gourmet twist. Freshly made cakes, cupcakes, cookies, morning pastries, brownies and bars, as well as sophisticated renditions of classic snack delicacies like our own "twinkies," "snowballs," and Swiss rolls, are all available. Our custom-designed cakes include everything from typical tiered wedding cakes to one-of-a-kind designs for birthdays and other special occasions, corporate events and promotions, advertising and fashion editorials, and more. Our popular window displays facing 8th Avenue feature our most recent fondant creations, and other samples of our custom-designed cakes for every occasion can be found within the bakery. Our cake advisors can assist you in creating your ideal cake for any occasion, big or small. Everything served at Empire Cake is produced fresh on the premises every day with the greatest ingredients, such as excellent local butter and cream, pure entire vanilla beans, Belgian chocolate, and seasonal fruit from the Union Square Greenmarket. We also proudly sell Stumptown gourmet coffee and Two Leaves and A Bud organic whole leaf teas. Empire Cake is located on the corner of 8th Avenue and 15th Street, where the West Village, Chelsea, and Meatpacking districts collide—and is just two blocks from the High Line, making it the ideal spot for a picnic in the park. Thank you from all of us at Empire Cake for supporting a small, locally owned business! We look forward to seeing you soon!
