My Favorite Custom Cake Add-Ons (That People Don’t Think to Ask For!)

When ordering a custom cake, most people choose flavor and color...and stop there. But the magic is often in the details.

If you're ordering a custom cake in Hutto or the surrounding areas, here are some add-ons that can completely elevate your cake.

✍️ Custom Writing That Pops

Handwritten messages can be:

  • Elegant script
  • Bold and playful
  • Minimal and modern

Metallic accents (gold or silver lettering) photograph beautifully and instantly upgrade the design.

🎨 Coordinated Color Themes

Instead of a single color, consider:

  • Ombre frosting
  • Two-tone palettes
  • Matching party décor shades
  • Coordinating cake and cupcake colors

A cohesive color theme makes your cake look professionally styled in photos.

🍓 Flavor Fillings

This is the most overlooked upgrade.

Some favorites:

  • Fresh strawberry filling
  • Lemon Curd filling
  • Chocolate ganache
  • Salted Caramel Sauce

A filling adds surprise and richness to every slice.

🍪 Mini Add-Ons

Want to really impress guests?

Consider:

  • Chocolate dipped pretzels and/or rice crispy treats
  • Cake pops
  • Custom cake toppers
  • Smash cakes for first birthdays

These small additions create a dessert experience, not just a cake.
