Empire Cake brings you the best of American baking with a gourmet twist, including custom-decorated cakes range from traditional tiered wedding cakes to one-of-a-kind creations for birthdays and other celebrations, large and small! We feature fresh-baked cakes, cupcakes, cookies, breakfast pastries, brownies and bars, and sophisticated versions of classic snack treats, including our own “twinkies,

” snowballs, Swiss rolls and Twix bars. Our custom-designed cakes range from traditional tiered wedding cakes to one-of-a-kind creations for birthdays and other celebrations, corporate events and promotions, and advertising and fashion editorials. Our popular window displays looking out onto 8th Avenue feature our latest fondant creations, and inside the bakery you’ll find other examples of our custom-designed cakes for every occasion. Our cake consultants can help you build your dream cake for any of life’s celebrations, large or small. Everything served at Empire Cake is made fresh daily on the premises using the finest ingredients, including fresh butter and cream from quality local producers, pure whole vanilla beans, Belgian chocolate, and fresh seasonal produce from the Union Square Greenmarket. We are located at 8th Avenue and 15th Street, where the West Village, Chelsea and the Meatpacking districts collide—and just two blocks from the High Line, providing the perfect opportunity to grab some delicious treats and coffee for a picnic in the park. All of us at Empire Cake thank you for supporting an independent, locally owned business!

We were thrilled to learn Isaac Mizrahi chose Empire cake as one of his go-to Greenwich Village spots for Air Mail 's City Guide!

We were first introduced to Isaac Mizrahi in the 90's and found his documentary Unzipped so inspiring that we rented it from World of Video on Greenwich Ave so many times that they eventually just gave us a copy.

That copy has been sitting on our bookshelf ever since our last VCR died. But thankfully, Unzipped is being re-released this September—run and see it (hopefully at Film Forum!), then come by for a post-movie treat!
