Our Story

About

A family-owned, woman-owned boutique bakery in the heart of Indianapolis on South Meridian Street, baking from scratch since 2017.

Amy McCorkle, owner and founder of Sweet Escape Cake Company

Family Owned Since 2017

Meet Amy McCorkle

Sweet Escape Cake Company started the way the best things do, at home. Owner Amy McCorkle began baking cakes for her own kids, and what came out of that home kitchen grew into a boutique bakery on South Meridian Street and one of Indianapolis's most celebrated cake shops.

From multi-tiered wedding cakes to whimsical one-of-a-kind birthday cakes, magical iced sugar cookies, cake pops, cupcakes, macarons, and more, no matter how big or small the celebration, we have your dessert needs covered. Our bakers and cake artists pride themselves on creations that not only look amazing, but taste incredible with our signature flavors and house-made buttercream.

We are still family-owned and woman-owned, and we still pour that same care into every order. Because every special occasion deserves a Sweet Escape.
