As a mom of two, I understand messy houses, crazy schedules, and how small moments can slip by faster than you expect. One minute you’re thinking about something — a birthday, a class treat, a game — and the next minute it’s today.
And now you need a cake.
Or cookies. Or something to bring that says, I didn’t forget you.
We get it. We really, really get it. And that’s exactly why Buttermilk Bakeshop is set up the way it is.
Not everything in life is planned a week in advance. Some things are, but a lot of times it’s more like, wait… the game is tomorrow? Or I said I’d bring something, didn’t I? Or we should do a little something… today. These are the moments that matter just as much as the big ones, and they deserve to feel like something.
If you’ve ever found yourself searching for a same day cake in Brooklyn or a last minute birthday cake near you, just know you’re not the only one. It happens all the time. And yes, we’ve got you.
We always have cakes ready to go for same-day pickup. Vanilla, chocolate, and one of our favorites, the cookies and milk cake. It serves about 12 to 15 guests and is layered with vanilla and chocolate cake, vanilla and chocolate buttercream, and filled with tons of chocolate cookies in the middle. It’s the kind of cake that makes people stop for a second and smile. It feels like something more than just checking a box.
You can order online and pick up as soon as the next hour, or you can walk into either location and we’ll write an inscription on it for you right there. Happy Birthday, congratulations, thinking of you — whatever you need it to say, we’ll make it happen.
And sometimes it’s not even about a full cake. Sometimes it’s mini cookies for a Friday Little League game, or cupcakes for a classroom, or nut-free or gluten-free cake pops for daycare the next day. Most of our baked goods can be ordered within 24 to 48 hours, and we always have options available in-store for those truly last-minute moments.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not really about whether it was planned perfectly. It’s about remembering. It’s about showing up. A coworker, a friend, Aunt Sally — just the thought that someone remembered something important to you means the world. Even if it was pulled together quickly. Honestly, sometimes especially then.
We always have something warm or cold depending on the season for those little pick-me-ups too. So while you’re grabbing something for someone else, you can grab something for yourself. A lemon bar, a classic chocolate chunk cookie, a big raspberry donut on a Saturday morning. Something small that makes your day feel a little better.
Life is busy. We know it. And whether it’s a full cake, a box of cookies, or something simple that turns into a moment, we’re here to help make it happen. No stress, no judgment, just really good cake when you need it.
With love and flour on my apron,
