Overlook Bakery
About Overlook Bakery
Overlook Bakery is located in Woodstock, New York, in the heart of the Catskill Mountains. They specialize in bespoke wedding cakes with a vintage-inspired, floral aesthetic. Each cake is custom-designed and crafted with an emphasis on quality ingredients and artistry.
Their wedding cake portfolio shows tiered cakes with textured buttercream, fresh flowers, and detailed decorative work. The style leans traditional but not stuffy — vintage-inspired means there’s personality and craft without being overly modern or trendy.
Beyond wedding cakes, Overlook Bakery makes cupcakes, tarts, pies, and cookies. The menu includes specialties like carrot cake, chocolate cosmic cake, coconut cake, strawberry shortcake, lemon cake, peanut butter cake, and almond raspberry cake. They also offer a build-your-own layer cake option.
Dietary accommodations are available — they make gluten-free and vegan options, which is increasingly important as guest lists include people with dietary restrictions. Having these options available from the same bakery means the dessert table or cake can accommodate everyone without compromising on quality or appearance.
Their Woodstock location makes them a natural fit for Catskills wedding venues and properties in the northern Hudson Valley. For a mountain wedding where you want the cake to match the environment — artisanal, textured, made with care — Overlook Bakery fits that aesthetic. They’ve been featured in local press and bakery roundups as one of the top Catskills bakers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Overlook Bakery offer gluten-free and vegan wedding cakes?
Yes. They offer both gluten-free and vegan options alongside their standard menu. Contact them to discuss specific dietary needs for your event.
How far in advance should I order a wedding cake?
Book your baker 6-9 months before the wedding, especially for peak season. Schedule a tasting 4-6 months out so you have time to finalize flavors and design details.
How much does a wedding cake cost in the Hudson Valley?
Wedding cakes in the Hudson Valley typically range from $4-$12 per slice depending on design complexity, with most couples spending $600-$1,500 total. Elaborate fondant work, sugar flowers, and multiple tiers increase the cost. Buttercream designs tend to be more affordable.
Should I do a dessert table instead of a traditional wedding cake?
Many couples do both — a smaller cutting cake plus a dessert table with cookies, pies, or pastries. It gives guests variety and can be more cost-effective than a large tiered cake. Dessert tables also photograph well and work as a visual element in the reception space.
