From hand-decorated heart cakes and round cakes to topped brownies, cookie sandwiches, cupcakes, and dessert shooters, every Butter Bar by Sam creation is made from scratch to feel as special as the moment.
"I want every cake to taste like it was made for the person eating it — because it was. That is the whole point of baking."
Butter Bar by Sam is a custom cake and dessert studio based in Tampa, Florida. Sam spent more than five years managing a retail bakery before stepping away into healthcare — and then found her way right back to the work she loves most: creating and decorating.
Every cake, cookie, and shooter is made from scratch, decorated by hand, and designed around the moment you are celebrating. Weddings, birthdays, bridal showers, or a random Tuesday craving — Butter Bar by Sam is here to make it feel a little more special.
Real butter, fresh dairy, and premium chocolate — because a cake is only as good as what goes into it
Every cake is piped, painted, and finished by hand — no two are ever quite the same
Proudly serving Tampa Bay birthdays, weddings, showers, and random-Tuesday cravings

"Sam made a heart cake for my sister's engagement and it was the most beautiful thing on the table. Strawberry custard filling — we all fought over the last slice."
"Sam designed our entire wedding dessert table — heart cake, shooters, brownies, the works. Every single guest came up asking who made it. Absolutely unreal."
"The Biscoff cookie butter shooters are dangerous. I ordered a box for my mom's birthday and ended up eating three on the drive home. Worth every penny."
