Birthday Cakes
LidiaCakes.com creates custom 1st birthday cakes in Southlake and across the DFW area, offering handcrafted, luxury designs starting at around $3–$12 per serving. Whether you envision a delicate floral smash cake or a bold themed centerpiece, Lidia Mungoi brings your vision to life with artistry and care.
Your baby's first birthday is one of the most treasured milestones in a young family's life. The laughter, the tiny frosting-covered hands, the sparkle in those brand-new eyes — every detail of that day deserves to be as beautiful as the moment itself. And at the heart of every first birthday celebration is the cake.
At LidiaCakes, a luxury custom cake studio proudly serving Southlake, Fort Worth, and the greater DFW metroplex, we believe that a first birthday cake should be far more than a store-bought sheet cake. It should be a work of art — a reflection of your child's personality, your family's style, and the love that has poured into every moment of their very first year.
Southlake is a community that appreciates the finer things — thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and experiences that feel genuinely personal. That's exactly what LidiaCakes delivers, one cake at a time.
Founder and master cake artist Lidia Mungoi brings a unique blend of technical precision and warm, creative storytelling to every custom order. Each cake begins with a consultation — a real conversation about your theme, your color palette, your little one's favorites, and the mood you want to set for the party. From there, Lidia and her team craft every element by hand, from sugar flowers and textured buttercream panels to custom fondant figurines and edible gold accents.
Families across Southlake, Colleyville, Keller, Westlake, and Fort Worth trust LidiaCakes because the results consistently exceed expectations — and because working with Lidia feels like collaborating with a friend who genuinely cares about your celebration.
When it comes to first birthday cakes, the design possibilities are as wide as your imagination. Here are some of the most beloved styles our Southlake clients request:
A tiered display cake paired with a personal smash cake just for baby. The smash cake is usually a small 4-inch or 6-inch round — soft enough for tiny hands and sweet enough for a first taste of buttercream bliss. The display cake wows the guests while baby has all the fun.
Soft, romantic arrangements of hand-piped sugar flowers in blush, ivory, lavender, or sage make for timeless first birthday centerpieces. Perfect for garden parties and elegant indoor celebrations.
Animals are a perennial favorite for one-year-olds. Custom fondant lions, foxes, elephants, and woodland creatures can transform a simple tiered cake into a storybook world.
For families who love clean lines and modern elegance, a minimalist cake with textured buttercream, a single statement bloom, and a custom name topper makes an incredibly chic statement.
Personalized number toppers, name banners, and milestone messaging add a heartfelt touch that makes every photo — and every memory — truly one of a kind.
One of the most common questions families ask is: How much does a custom 1st birthday cake cost in Southlake or Fort Worth?

For comparison, premium custom bakeries across the DFW metro — including areas like Southlake, Plano, and Fort Worth — typically quote within this same range for luxury work. LidiaCakes offers exceptional value because every dollar reflects real craftsmanship, not mass production.
