Tucked away in Seattle, Deep Sea Sugar and Salt offers an irresistible selection of dense, moist cakes made from quality ingredients, perfect for any sweet tooth.
"The layer cakes and cupcakes at this Georgetown bakery are on the pricier side ($65 for a six-inch cake), but they’re beautifully done, with delicious flavor combinations like black sesame Oreo, ricotta olive oil slathered with lemon curd, or carrot pineapple with piped globs of brown butter frosting. The best one, however, is the London Fog. It’s an earl grey cake with earl grey honey syrup, bergamot mascarpone cream, and cream cheese frosting. A forkful of each component tastes like you’re drinking a cup of tea with sweetened cream, only with a lot more carbs. If you don’t feel like lining up before they open to buy slices a la carte (or preordering your slice online), you can order a whole cake—just make sure to consult their website to see how many months ahead they’re sold out." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Georgetown’s cake specialist frequently draws long lines for its pastry case of enticing selections like the London fog, an earl grey flavored cake with a bergamot mascarpone frosting. Seasonal offerings — like the strawberry shortcake, a ricotta olive oil cake stacked with fresh strawberries, strawberry jam, and cream cheese frosting — are also highly anticipated." - Kurt Suchman, Alana Al-Hatlani
"The layer cakes and cupcakes at Deep Sea Sugar And Salt are on the pricier side ($110 for a nine-inch), but there's a reason that this is one of the best bakeries in Seattle. The cakes are beautifully made, and have phenomenal flavor combinations like dark chocolate with a savory kick of rich porter from Georgetown Brewing, or earl grey with honey syrup and bergamot mascarpone cream. The best one, however, is the Funfetti, layered with vanilla bean warmth, an onslaught of rainbow sprinkles, cream cheese frosting, and the tiniest hit of almond. If you don’t feel like lining up before they open to buy slices a la carte, you can order same-day slices on their website from 8am-11am. And if you're planning a birthday party or wedding, you can order whole cakes well in advance." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
"We love this cake shop for its stacked funfetti slices with cream cheese frosting and rich chocolate cake spiked with porter from Georgetown Brewing. They are still in Georgetown, and have reopened in a larger sit-down space just a few blocks away from their old location." - Kayla Sager Riley
"Deep Sea Sugar and Salt, famous for its exquisitely layered cakes, is taking over the former Lowercase Brewing’s taproom space in Georgetown. This move allows them to offer indoor seating where customers can enjoy cake on a real plate with a fork, along with coffee or beer." - Harry Cheadle
