Our story
About Copper Hearth
We are a small Nashville bakery that does two things with care: custom cakes for your celebrations and sourdough for every other day.
Nashville, Tennessee
Bread and cake
One kitchen, two kinds of baking.
Copper Hearth Bakery makes custom cakes and sourdough in Nashville, Tennessee. Everything we sell comes out of our own oven and is picked up here in the city.
The sourdough is the slow part of our week. Each loaf rises on natural leaven and is given the time it needs, which is where the crust gets its color and the crumb gets its texture.
The cakes are the personal part. No two orders start the same way: one is a birthday for a handful of friends, another is a wedding. We plan each cake around the gathering it is made for, from the flavors inside to the colors and piping outside.
Because every custom cake is made for one date, we check our calendar before we agree to an order, so the cake you plan is a cake we can bake well.

What sets us apart
Small choices that show up in every bite.
There is nothing secret about how we bake. These are the things we hold to, order after order.
Made from scratch
Our cakes and loaves start from basic ingredients in our own kitchen, not from a mix.
Slow-fermented sourdough
Our bread rises on natural leaven and time. We do not rush a loaf to fill a shelf.
Each cake, one celebration
A custom cake is planned around a single event: its date, its guests and the look you have in mind.
Baked in Nashville
Every cake and loaf is baked in Nashville, Tennessee, and picked up locally.
