At The Fifth Tier, we believe desserts should be as breathtaking as the moments they celebrate. Every creation is thoughtfully designed to balance elegance, whimsy, and flavor—crafted to captivate both the eye and the palate.

Founded and led by cake artist Ashleigh Vaughn, The Fifth Tier (formerly Simpleigh Sweets) represents a new chapter of edible artistry. What began as a simple home bakery rooted in passion and precision has evolved into a boutique dessert business known for its refined designs and attention to detail.

From sculpted statement cakes and luxury wedding tiers to artful cookie collections and hands-on decorating classes, we create pieces that turn life’s sweetest occasions into unforgettable experiences.

We believe beauty lies in the details—every dessert we craft is a reflection of that belief.

The Fifth Tier isn’t just a name—it’s a philosophy: a celebration of creativity elevated one tier higher.
