Ashland Baking Company
Located in a neighboring Chequamegon Bay city, Ashland Baking Company is an artisanal bakery that offers an array of high quality, handmade products. Wedding cake designer, Kealy White, says traditional stacked wedding cakes are her passion. She really enjoys collaborating with couples to create the perfect cake for their special day. She also loves making French macarons!

Chocolate cake is Kealy’s favorite, which she thinks pairs well with so many great flavors: raspberry, vanilla, coffee and fresh local berries! Wedding guests tend to get very excited once a cake is cut and they discover that the inside is decadent chocolate. She also loves their coconut cake with passion-fruit filling!

What is Kealy’s recommendation for couples planning a Bayfield wedding? She says planning a wedding can be stressful but she always tells her couples that choosing your wedding desserts should be part of the planning that is lighthearted and fun. Wedding trends are really allowing for a lot of creativity and expressions when it comes to desserts. The sky is the limit!
