The focus of my current work is the creation of custom wedding cakes. A wedding cake is the centerpiece of your reception, and is one of the first things guests see as they arrive. So the first glimpse of the wedding cake is a very dramatic and beautiful moment. Wedding cake is also one of the last items served at a wedding reception, and guests take the memory of the cake with them. But most important is the beautiful tradition of the cake cutting ceremony, which symbolizes the couple's commitment to sharing a life with each other.

Queen of Tarts offers many designs from which to choose, and also welcomes the chance to create a completely new design with your desires in mind. Whether you select old fashioned chocolate, champagne white or Bavarian Cream to finish your cake, I am here to assist you and to ensure that you enjoy the planning process. I believe that everything about your wedding cake is important.

Please contact me at 503-589-4500 to set an appointment for a Wedding Cake Consultation.

The Queen of Tarts Bakery & Cafe opened its doors in mid-December of 2007 under new ownership and a new name. Located on the lower level of the Salem Public Library on the Peace Plaza across from City Hall. The Queen of Tarts Bakery & Cafe is operated by well-known local baker Jamie Schulte. Schulte has been in the restaurant business since 1972 and has owned and operated the Queen of Tarts Baking Co. as a catering business since 1998.

For a number of years, she baked cakes for "Gerry Frank’s Konditorei". The focus of her current work is the creation of custom wedding cakes and, until now, the operation of a regular bakery booth at Salem Saturday Market. While she no longer bakes cakes for The Konditorei she still wholesales baked goods to them. She also wholesales to "Tuckers at the Mill" Restaurant located at the Mission Mill.

She offers catering services on a limited basis as well as special events such as tea parties for the "Historic Deepwood Estate" and "The Gordon House". If you are interested in hosting a tea please contct us.

Jamie presently continues to sell fresh baked goods at her booth at the Salem Saturday Market for the past 4 years.

Queen of Tarts Bakery & Café offers a mouthwatering array of baked goods, coffee drinks from the barista featuring
Cape Foul Weather coffee, fresh baked breakfast pastries, cookies, muffins, bagels and bars. And don’t forget the homemade weenie wraps for the kids (or the kid in you).

Our goal is to keep things impeccably fresh, seasonal, and interesting. We take great pride in serving hearty homemade soups. The Cafe' features a different homemade soup daily by the cup or the bowl. In addition to our delectable menu of gourmet sandwiches and salads by the 1/2 or whole we offer a special sandwich of the day by the ½ or the whole. It's all made from scratch using only the best ingredients. Jamie marinates, roasts and slices all the meats for the sandwiches herself. All of her salad dressings are prepared from scratch. The rolls and bread of the day are handmade as well.

Jamie is also the master baker as she bakes all the pastries and bars herself including special orders for special occasion cakes. Scroll down on this page to see our lunch menu, cake brocure and catering menu.

It is up to you! Please let us know how you would like us to handle your leftovers.
