Art-Driven Cakes For Refined Celebrations
I design commissioned wedding cakes for couples who value artistry, composition, and a design-led approach to celebration. Each cake is developed as a custom piece, shaped by the atmosphere of the event and approached as a visual centerpiece rather than a standard dessert. Based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, my work balances craft and creativity, allowing each design to feel expressive, cohesive, and well suited to the setting it’s created for.

a design-led approach
Each wedding cake is designed in response to its setting. Color palette, florals, venue, and overall atmosphere guide the composition so the cake feels integrated into the celebration rather than standing apart from it. This approach allows each design to feel cohesive and considered within the visual experience of the day, whether the result is minimal or richly detailed.
“We are beyond thrilled with the stunning work that Rhiannon of Artfully Meraki did for our wedding.… our guests were blown away by the hand-painted cupcakes and our beautiful wedding cake; each piece was an absolute work of art!…. it was immediately eaten up by all of our guests, who raved about it for the rest of the night…. Working with Rhiannon was a dream! She made everything feel easy, joyful, and personalized…. We highly, highly recommend Artfully Meraki to anyone looking for something truly special….”

Flavor is an essential part of the overall experience. Each cake begins with thoughtfully chosen elements, combining premium imports with locally sourced ingredients to create depth and balance in every bite. Couverture chocolate is a staple in my ganaches, contributing to a smooth, refined finish, and the flavor menu offers both timeless pairings and more unexpected options.
For couples who would like to explore flavors more closely, cake tastings offer an opportunity to experience how taste and design come together. A selection of dietary-friendly options is also available, so everyone at the table can enjoy the celebration.
A love letter in layers
Encapsulating delightful flavors in ephemeral art, while leaving a lasting impression on you and your guests, is my passion.
