Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, a marriage or another milestone, the details make the difference. Our moist, homemade wedding cakes and other creative specialty cakes are the perfect desserts for your special day.
From simple to elaborate, traditional to contemporary, our accomplished cake decorators will help you pick a design that reflects your tastes. Choose from a variety of scratch-made cakes – including white, carrot, chocolate, marble, yellow or our famous red velvet – and a wide selection of icing and fillings. We can make cakes in a combination of styles and shapes with fondant flowers, cake lace, cake toppers and other enhancements.
We will personally deliver and set up your cake within a 20-mile radius of our bakery. Delivery is $75. We can also accommodate large and small groups for receptions, rehearsal parties and bridal showers in Bird-in-Hand. We offer a 10% discount on your wedding cake if you hold your reception at the Bird-in-Hand Family Restaurant’s banquet and conference center or the Bird-in-Hand Village Inn & Suites.
Please order your cake eight weeks before your event by calling our Cake Coordinator at (800) 524-3429 or (717) 768-1501 or email us.

Whether you’re looking for a light meal, a loaf of fresh-baked bread, a specialty coffee drink or something to satisfy your sweet tooth, you’ll find it at the Bird-in-Hand Bakery & Cafe.
Our cafe menu includes delicious handcrafted sandwiches, crisp salads, soups, smoothies and delectable desserts – all made with care from high-quality ingredients. We use all-natural, antibiotic-free chicken, local meats and produce grown on nearby farms whenever possible – including our home-grown fruits and vegetables in season.
A good example of homegrown is our pumpkin products, like pumpkin pies, bread, rolls, whoopie pies and ice cream. They are made with pumpkins picked directly from our on-site pumpkin patch.
If you’re craving homemade ice cream in Lancaster County, be sure to savor a scoop of our premium artisan ice cream made on our premises with local fruits, all-natural flavorings and even some stir-ins from our own bakery.
Our bakery has been in business for generations. We still make many of our baked goods from scratch, including some from Grandma Smucker’s original recipes. We’re famous for wet-bottom shoofly pies, whoopie pies, giant apple fritters, pumpkin pies, birthday cakes, donuts, and other Pennsylvania Dutch favorites. We’re also known throughout Lancaster for wedding cakes, cookies, pastries, specialty seasonal breads (pumpkin bread, etc), and creatively hand-decorated cakes for every occasion.
