dessert Menu

All of Sweet Surrender’s desserts are made from scratch using only the finest ingredients available. And the kitchen is constantly adding new favorites to the menu of classical desserts that have made Sweet Surrender a popular dessert destination.  

Each dessert is made to order. As a small business, we do not have the space to keep a great number of whole cakes on hand to sell to walk in customers. So we kindly request that custom cake orders be placed a minimum of five days in advance. This helps the kitchen at Sweet Surrender stay organized, and also allows for you, the customer, to get exactly what you want. If you need a cake with a complex design or a tiered cake, we recommend ordering AT LEAST two weeks in advance.

Should you need to place your order with less than five day’s notice, we will do our best to meet your needs. However, we can not guarantee that we will have the exact flavor or size cake available that you are looking to purchase.
