Towering cake slices in decadent flavors like London Fog
"A Georgetown bakery/pastry shop known for decadent slices of cake and attention to detail in its dessert offerings." - Eater Staff
"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
"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
"Deep Sea Sugar & Salt’s almond-scented Funfetti is not exclusively reserved for formalities such as existing another year. Using the stuff to salute employment-at-will’s handy two-way street is fair game, too. And if you choose a slab of porter-soaked chocolate, it also counts as a victory beer. For an extra $15 the bakery can add gold leaf, but just remember that you don’t have a job anymore." - aimee rizzo
"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
