If you would like to order a Custom Cake please send us your inquiry and we can get right back to you via email. Custom cakes typically require 7-10 days advance notice. Sign up for our newsletter below so you can stay up to date on all the Oakleaf happenings! While we might be world famous for our amazingly artistic wedding cakes and sculpted cakes, what truly makes our bakery special receives much less publicity: effort.
It's our secret ingredient. We don't have to grind each cup of coffee individually, or hand squeeze our orange juice a cup at a time, or insist that everything we bake and sell is made on-site from raw ingredients. If we could bring ourselves to use mixes, or frozen doughs, or a buttercream recipe that doesn't take 5x longer to make, our lives would be much easier - but that's not who we are.
We are here because some things are more important than profit margins, convenience or cheap calories. If we don't make life-sized cakes of Star Wars characters, few others can, and if we don't serve the type of skill and labor intensive foods that we serve, no one else will.

Oakleaf Cakes Bake Shop was founded by Amanda Oakleaf in 2008 in the mini-kitchen of a Boston studio apartment.
Demand grew rapidly, and in the spring of 2010, Amanda, along with her husband Tyler opened their first storefront in Winthrop, MA.
In 2013 the store again expanded, moving to its current location in Boston, right next to Symphony Hall.
Coming from meager origins with not much capital or resources, our constant and unwavering focus from the very beginning has been on achieving the absolute highest possible quality in everything we do.

Not satisfied with making seven foot tall movie characters out of cake, we decided to try our hand at coffee.
When we opened our first storefront in Winthrop the space was not set up for serving coffee, but with our move to Boston in the fall of 2013 we thought we'd give it a try.
Naturally we way out-did ourselves.
Sure we could have opted for a middle of the road coffee set up, with fancy machines that did most of the work for us, but where's the fun in that?
No, instead we opted to grind every single cup of coffee and espresso by hand to order.

When it comes to tea, nothing is more critical than having fresh high-quality ingredients, paired with a really solid brew method.
To make sure that our tea is top notch, we brew only MEM loose leaf teas.
MEM Tea Imports is another exceptional local business that is almost as famous for the quality of their teas as we are for cake!
To make sure that your tea is brewed to perfection, we hot brew each of our teas using our aeropress brewing machines.
This allows us to custom tailor the perfect brew cycle for each strand of tea we serve.

Squeezed to order Specialty Drinks (and not squeezed, but still really awesome) Hot Chocolate.
If you buy orange juice from a store, it's often undergone various types of treatment - most of it to the point where it can barely be described as juice anymore.
Even if you get the most premium, 100% natural, guaranteed to be the real-deal juice, the extraction methods used by large commercial juicers often compromise the juice by inevitably mixing it with bitter outer rind of the orange.
Our squeezing process avoids this.
