About Cakewalk Heirloom Baking Co

Jennifer Ladd-Zimmerman

Owner. A Luxury Organic Cake and Dessert Boutique.

Cakewalk Heirloom Baking Company is a cake, pastry, and culinary maison devoted to the art of intentionally crafted experience. We bring together sculptural cakes, curated culinary expressions of season, and a café inspired by interwoven global experiences and culinary exploration across rich and varied cultures—each shaped through ingredient integrity, precision, and a quiet attention to flavor, balance, and sensory detail. Our work is guided by organically grown ingredients, seasonality, and intentional flavor composition, where culinary craftsmanship becomes a language of experience, form, and expression—beautifully composed and thoughtfully presented.

At Cakewalk, we believe your wedding cake should feel as personal as the celebration surrounding it. Every cake and dessert collection begins with a personal consultation, allowing us to learn about your wedding, your style, the flavors you love, and the details that make your story uniquely yours. Each experience begins with a consultation and is thoughtfully guided from tasting and design through delivery and on-site setup. We specialize in refined finishes, vintage piping, romantic florals, modern textures, sugar artistry, and elevated dessert displays—all handcrafted with exceptional flavor and intentional detail.

    Cakewalk is everything and more.

    We began our wedding planning journey in February and reached out to Cakewalk. Little did we know, they are the whole package. We initially wanted to discuss breakfast catering options, but once we received highly detailed emails from Jennifer about her services we then decided to move forward with planning/catering/floral/furniture/signage/wedding cake/tastings/wine pairings and so much more. Cakewalk provided the perfect nature design/coordination, organic farm to table catering and custom cake design with dessert services for our special day. Jennifer is an absolute gem. She connected with us via phone and email multiple times leading up to the big day to plan a truly amazing wedding day. She asked us for our pinterest board, and she really listened to our ideas and concerns. Her emails were very detailed and consisted of multiple design boards. She was very organized and provided us with a comprehensive planning timeline. Jennifer incorporated two new entrees for our dinner service that were not in their original menu selection. During the tasting, she offered the highest degree of service. She also provided the wine pairings for each dish! Jennifer coordinated with all our vendors. She planned a day of coronation timeline that was perfectly executed and was flexible with any changes. She really has a caring eye for detail and made our dream wedding a reality! Our wedding party was intimate with 20 guests and Jennifer and her team really made everyone feel like royalty. We really don't know how we could have done any of this without her. 100/100 the best day of our lives.

    I searched everywhere trying to find my girlfriend's favorite dessert, a Napolean pastry, for her birthday celebration away from home. To say that I lucked out finding Cakewalk Heirloom Baking is an understatement! Jennifer not just saved the day but, she MADE the day. Not only making a custom cake just for us, she even delivered it to our hotel and left a sweet birthday card. Who does that?! Cakewalk has set the standard for customer service...they have a fan and customer for life. Thank you!

    Dear Ryan, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! We are beyond thrilled that we could help make your girlfriend’s birthday extra special. Moments like these are exactly why we love what we do—crafting something meaningful and delicious that brings joy and a little extra sweetness . It was truly a pleasure creating your custom Napoleon and delivering it with a little extra birthday love. We hope you enjoyed your time hiking in Yosemite fueled by a little bit of Organic French Pastry. We look forward to treating you both to something special again in the future! —Jennifer & the Cakewalk Team

    Jennifer and the Cakewalk Team provided an exceptional cake and stunning bouquet for our small, family wedding at quite short notice. Being based in the UK we worked with Cakewalk remotely. They were able to meet specific dietary requirements with a delicious vegan cake that was also visually stunning. The bouquet incorporated our designs and was exactly what we wanted. Thank you!

    Dear Dan & Jo, Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a joy to create your vegan wedding cake and your bespoke bouquet created entirely form flowers gown and harvested on our 1 acre organic flower farm . We are so happy to hear they were everything you envisioned. We know planning from afar can be challenging, so it was truly our pleasure to make the process feel seamless and to bring your ideas to life. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness. We are honored to have been part of your beautiful intimate celebration here in Yosemite. Warmly, Jennifer & The Cakewalk Team
