Our Story

Baking with intention, serving with heart

Celebration Cakes by Janice Strout has been a Bar Harbor fixture for over two decades — not because we chase trends, but because we take the time to get it right. Every cake begins with a conversation, not a catalog.

We bake from scratch, source locally whenever possible, and treat every order as if it's for our own table. Whether it's a wedding cake that anchors your reception or a birthday layer that makes a child's eyes light up, the result is always the same: something made with genuine care.

Based at 7 E Hillside Drive, our kitchen has fed celebrations across Mount Desert Island and beyond — from intimate gatherings to milestone events that bring the whole community together.
