Services

Two for Two Cakes believes that two things are indispensable to a successful wedding cake: one, it must truly taste as fabulous as it looks, and two, it shouldn’t cost a small fortune! Baker Alison Okabayashi has a clean and classic aesthetic, yet is always on the cutting edge when coming up with new flavor combinations and innovative design techniques.

All of her cakes and cupcakes are baked fresh from scratch using all natural ingredients and never frozen. Tiered wedding cakes start at $6 per serving. Groom’s Cakes start at $300.00.

Questions and Answers

What 3 words describe your work? Chic, creative, tasty.

Tell us about your company name. Back in 2004, I founded Two for Two Cakes along with a business partner, who is no longer with the company. We were in love with making wedding cakes and it was all we wanted to create. We chose the name to represent that there were TWO bakers making cakes for TWO people celebrating their wedding.

Why should someone hire you? Not only are Two for Two Cakes stunning and tasty custom wedding cakes that capture the clients' vision of their celebration, but I believe good customer service is just as important. Whether it means baking custom samples, meeting for additional tastings, providing sketch after sketch, ordering flowers, or texting back and forth days before the wedding, I'll do whatever it takes to ensure that the clients are confident and excited about their cake!

What are some sources of inspiration or influences on your work? Wayne Thiebaud, textiles, Martha Stewart, floral design, American baking.

What makes a wedding memorable for you? The most memorable weddings for me are those in which the vision really comes together. I often only get a glimpse of the reception design from meeting with clients, but when I arrive to deliver the cake, and the vision is actualized and every detail, including the cake, is just so perfect… that's when I step back and have a little moment where I'm so incredibly excited to be doing what I do.

What are 3 words that describe your personality? Motivation, perfectionism, laughter.

Extracurricular activities: Running, eating, traveling (which all happen to go really well with one another).

If you weren't in your current profession, what would you do instead? I spent 6 years working in and running an after-school program at an elementary school. If I wasn't running Two for Two Cakes, I would most certainly be working in education and/or social work.

Tell us about your pets, if you have any. In my dreams, I have a dog... A Samoyed, to be more specific.

What are some of your favorite places to eat—either everyday spots or special occasion splurges? Maverick (San Francisco), Ippudo (NYC), Ad Hoc (Yountville).
