A Brief History on Couture Cakes:
Susan McMakin opened the doors to Couture Cakes of Greenville in August 2005. After a couple of years, they outgrew their space and moved to their current location at 1325 Miller Rd. They have been fortunate to watch their "cake family" grow with them over the years. Customers like you have allowed them to be a part of your birthdays, then wedding, and even first born children.
At Couture Cakes of Greenville, not only do their cakes look amazing, they taste just as great. With over 20 flavors of cakes, fillings, and icings to choose from, decisions become rather difficult. Buttercream icing is their specialty and they ice over 85% of all their cakes with it. Not to mention, they have an awesome and eclectic staff with various talents and skills that help create your ideas into edible, custom works of art. Susan has been decorating cakes for over 20 years and has a great staff with invaluable experience.
The number of cakes that they can make in a day limits the amount of orders they accept. Many hours are spent on each cake, from baking, setting the cakes up, icing them and finally, decorating them. Cupcakes are offered in their case everyday. Flavors vary based on our left over cake batter from cake orders. Cake decorating parties are popular at Couture Cakes of Greenville. Ask for details.

What to Bring to a Wedding Consultation:
Please bring with you any cake images that you like. You may choose them from Couture Cakes of Greenville's photo galleries, other websites, magazines, or their own sketches. If you think you may want to use any color on your cake, they ask that you bring a fabric swatch or paint chip with you. Bring pictures of your wedding gown or monogram for inspiration. Be sure to have the address of the reception location and approximate number of guests. You may bring as many people to the tasting as you like, however, more than 2 or 3 opinions can be overwhelming and can make decisions difficult.
Non-wedding cake consultations do not require an appointment. Please bring with you any cake images that you like. You may choose them from their photo galleries, other websites, magazines, invitations, tabletop decorations, or their own sketches.
