who makes the cakes?
Second Slice is a Bozeman based cake studio founded by Ella Lucille (hi, that’s me). I love creating whimsical, dreamy, and sculptural cakes.
Some of my earliest memories are of making pine needle soup and mud pies in my “kitchen” (a tree house my dad built). I would forage in the aspen grove behind my house and mix up all sorts of stews and desserts.
After pursuing a degree in architecture, I started decorating cakes as a creative outlet that allowed me to step away from computers, zoning and codes, and into a much more whimsical world. It brought me back to that love of combining different things to make something new. This time around, I swapped the mud and pine needles for copious amounts of butter and egg whites.
I quickly fell in love with the process — combining structure and artistry. I love playing with texture, composition, and color to create something that feels personal and memorable for every client.
My work blends a love for natural forms with a refined, design forward approach, pulling from avant-garde fashion, vintage ornamentation, surrealism, and architecture.
Each cake allows me to turn texture, mood, moments and stories into something you can experience physically.
I care about creating cakes that feel personal to you and your celebration. Something that adds to the atmosphere and feeling of a moment.
if that is what you’re looking for, i would love to make something uniquely for you.
