Valentine's Day

There's no better gift on Valentine's Day than something sweet. If you're looking for something traditional, pick up a pre-decorated box of chocolate truffles for your Valentine. Want something more unique? We offer heart-shaped cakes, pastries, and cookies, both large and small! For an elegant addition to any of these options, pick up a small box of chocolate-dipped strawberries -- made using our finest Swiss chocolate. Give your Valentine the best there is, with a taste of luxury from Wildewood Pastry Shop!

Mardi Gras

French for "Fat Tuesday", Mardi Gras is popularly celebrated not just with racuous festivities, but with feasting! One such tradition is the King Cake! A delicious sweet bread with an icing glaze and topped with colorful sugar, it makes the perfect last indulgence before Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. Decorated on top with plastic beads, coins, and the traditional baby trinket, this iconic Mardi Gras cake is an essential for your Fat Tuesday celebrations. Available in two sizes, with both plain cake and with cinnamon filling options!

We also offer decorated cakes, cupcakes, and cookies with a festive Mardi Gras theme -- a great option for the kids!

St. Patrick's Day

There's no need to search for the end of a rainbow -- your pot of gold is right here! Pick up a festive leprechaun hat cake, or buy some shamrock cookies to take to that weekend potluck! Keep an eye out for our festive chocolate truffle cups, and shamrock cupcakes as well!

We also offer traditional Irish soda bread, a type of quick bread utilizing baking soda as a leavening agent instead of yeast. Filled with raisins, this sweet and delicious bread is great on its own, or paired with butter or jam!

Easter

There's nothing more essential in your Easter basket than a traditional chocolate bunny. All of our chocolate bunnies are hand-made on-premises with our signature Swiss chocolate! Available in dark, milk, and white chocolate varieties, we have the perfect bunny for every member of your family!

Of course, we have more than just bunnies to fill your basket with! Pick up any size of chocolate egg filled with goodies, bring home a decorated egg or bunny cake for dessert, or pick out some of our holiday-themed pastries and cookies!

Mother's Day

Want to show your mother how much she means to you? Let mom know you care with something heartfelt and sweet. We offer a variety of chocolates, including chocolate hearts, truffle boxes, and edible chocolate cups, as well as Mother's Day themed cakes, pastries, and cookies! Make sure to get something for all the mothers in your life -- whether they are a mother to you, your children, or your grandchildren -- because their special day will mean that much more to them with a gift from you.

Graduation

Graduation is the culmination of years of learning and hard work. Whether it's high school, college, or any other milestone, make sure you celebrate it properly with Wildewood Pastry Shop! In addition to our edible chocolate cups featuring popular local school colors, you can also special order custom cakes, cupcakes, and cookies for this momentous occasion!

Flag Day (Army Birthday!)

Flag Day is a celebration of the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14th, 1777, by the Second Continental Congress. It shares this date with the birthday of the United States Army, originally established as the Continental Army on that same day two years prior, in 1775! As such, it is a perfect day to celebrate your American pride and show your colors -- red, white, and blue, that is!

Swing by the shop and pick up flag themed cookies and cupcakes, or place a special order for a custom cake design. Browse our selection of US and Military themed cakes on our Flickr, or show us a design that you already have in mind!

Father's Day

Want to get something special for the father figure in your life? Looking for something more interesting than some generic card? Award him with one of our chocolate medallions, complete with a wearable necklace loop, so that he can really feel like the Number One Dad! We also offer Father's Day themed cookies, and our edible chocolate truffle cups are sure to make him smile!

Independence Day

July 4th commemorates the Declaration of Independence of the United States in 1776. It stands as a celebration of the American values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and gives us a day to stand together as one nation and community. As a day traditionally fit for grilling burgers in the backyard, we took our own spin on the idea -- our hamburger cake is a fun and delicious version of this iconic holiday tradition! Also available are our flag shaped cookies and patriotic themed cupcakes!

Please note that Wildewood Pastry Shop closes annually for one week around Independence Day. Call the shop to ask about specific dates, as this may limit the availability of special order pickups!

Halloween

You're in for a scary-good time during Halloween at the Wildewood Pastry Shop! We have halloween themed cakes, pastries, cupcakes, and cookies -- featuring fun and spooky monsters, ghosts, jack-o-lanterns, cats, bats, owls! If you're hosting a party, ask about our halloween designs for sheet cakes, or show us a design of your own!

The Wildewood Shopping Center also hosts an annual community trick-or-treat event on Halloween, which we participate in! This event gives families in our community a safe, well-lit space to trick-or-treat. Make sure to wear your costume, and bring something to carry all that free candy in!

Thanksgiving is the beginning of the busiest time of year. Wildewood Pastry Shop offers a wide variety of pies to make the holiday a little less stressful for you, including seasonal favorites such as pumpkin, pecan, and apple walnut.
