Symphony Pastries has acquired Classic Cake for an undisclosed amount, a transaction that brings the Philadelphia-based dessert manufacturer under new ownership. The deal, finalized this week, transfers Classic Cake’s operations, including its production facility and retail bakery, to Symphony Pastries.
Classic Cake, a member of the AHB Foods family, operates a factory in Philadelphia that supplies white label, private label, and wholesale desserts to food service operations, grocery chains, and distributors across North America. The company also runs a retail bakery in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, known for custom celebration cakes and a broad range of baked goods. Symphony Pastries, a separate dessert company, focuses on pastry production and distribution, though specific details of its own operations were not disclosed in the announcement.
The acquisition is intended to broaden Symphony Pastries’ manufacturing capacity and expand its reach into the wholesale and private label segments. Classic Cake’s existing relationships with restaurant and grocery partners across the US and Canada are expected to complement Symphony Pastries’ current distribution network. For Classic Cake, the deal provides access to additional resources and operational support from its new parent company, which may help accelerate its planned expansion, including a new retail location in Cherry Hill slated to open in 2023.
Both companies have emphasized continuity for existing customers and employees, though no specific personnel changes or contract terms were revealed. The transaction does not affect Classic Cake’s brand identity, which will remain in use under Symphony Pastries’ ownership.
The combined entity will now operate across both retail and wholesale channels, with a stronger foothold in the North American dessert market. Observers will watch how Symphony Pastries integrates Classic Cake’s production lines and whether the acquisition leads to new product offerings or expanded distribution territories in the coming quarters.
