A charming cupcake bakery on Union Street, That Takes the Cake offers a wide assortment of cupcakes, filled cupcakes, and cocktail cupcakes. Owned by Brian and Keisha Williams, a husband-and-wife team from the Bay Area, That Takes the Cake specializes in handmade cupcakes baked with fresh ingredients and infused with love.

Boasting more than 30 options titled whimsical names like Elvis Is In the Building, Hella Nutella, and Alfred Hitchocolate, That Takes the Cake features enticing flavors to suit every taste. The sweet Prom Queen, a strawberry cake with real berries topped with strawberry buttercream frosting, and the practically sinful Gentlemen Prefer Reds, a traditional southern red velvet cake topped with cream cheese frosting, are two local favorites.

Drop by the store for a recommendation from the passionate, helpful staff or pre-order your cupcakes and dazzle friends and family this holiday season with an array of decadent gourmet cupcakes.
