Arts Bakery’s Christmas and New Year Magic in Buttercream
December in Glendale feels a little brighter inside Arts Bakery. The glass cases glow with Armenian pastries, custom cakes, and seasonal specials that lean into memory as much as technique. The team here works from a deep tradition of Armenian baking, then folds in modern ideas, so every dessert feels both familiar and slightly surprising. Christmas and New Year bring out their most playful side. This collection of holiday cakes reads like a small winter storybook, each design with its own mood, each one built for sharing around a crowded table.
Arts Bakery’s Christmas and New Year Magic in Buttercream
These cakes come in sizes that serve about ten, fifteen, or twenty guests, with a matrix of fillings and flavors that lets you fine-tune the experience to your crowd. The frostings range from chocolate mousse to raspberry mousse, three berry blends, mango with vanilla, and classic vanilla bean buttercream, all paired with chocolate, vanilla, or marbled Day & Night sponge. Bakers work through the day in the Chevy Chase kitchen, turning those combinations into edible centerpieces for last minute office parties and careful home gatherings alike.
Frosty the Snowman: A Classic in Buttercream
Frosty feels like the cake everyone secretly expects on a Christmas table. Art’s Bakery builds him from moist, tender layers, finished in a landscape of vanilla frosting that reads as fresh snow. Frosty’s face sits at the center, with that bright nose and wide, friendly eyes that the bakery copy promises. Inside, you can choose anything from chocolate mousse to mango and vanilla, so the slice reflects your idea of comfort. This cake suits big family-style lunches where people linger and pull second pieces without thinking twice.
Ornament Cake: The Showstopper
The Ornament Cake behaves like a piece of décor that happens to be dessert. Bakers shape it into a rounded form that mimics a Christmas bauble, then finish it with detailed fondant work in saturated holiday colors. The design sits high on the table and instantly reads as celebration, even before anyone reaches for a knife. Inside, you get the same generous choice of fillings and sponges, so the flavor can skew rich, fruity, or light. This is the cake that feels right for hosts who want one focal point that does all the talking.
Christmas Cake 2 Santa Heart Cake
Santa Heart Cake feels like a valentine to the season. The top carries Santa in a heart shaped frame, bright and bold against a clean background. Under the artwork, the matrix of fillings and flavors appears again, so you can pair a light Vanilla Biscuit with Mango and Vanilla or choose Day and Night sponge with 3 Berries for a sharper fruit note. Servings stay consistent across small, medium, and large, which makes it easy to match this cake to a holiday dinner where the guest list has already grown longer than you planned.
Candy Cane Bliss: A Winter Scene in Red and White
Candy Cane Bliss leans fully into the idea of seasonal fantasy. The bakery depicts a winter wonderland scene, with candy canes, sugar snowflakes, and other details that turn the surface into a small holiday landscape. Inside, you can keep things classic with vanilla or go deeper with chocolate. The contrast between the clean red and white décor and the rich interior makes each cut feel satisfyingly dramatic. This cake sits nicely at New Year get-togethers, where people want something festive that still feels grown up.
Arts Bakery treats these cakes as more than themed desserts. They become seasonal rituals that mix Armenian baking heritage with Glendale’s love for generous, shareable food. Choose the design that matches your gathering, pick your flavor pairings, and let the bakery handle the rest. The only decision left at the table will be who gets the slice with Frosty’s smile or the happiest reindeer.
