It is one hundred degrees outside and we have made a spice cake anyway. ❤️

Look, the calendar says September, and the case does what the calendar says. So this month's Cake of the Month is Harvest Spice — warmly spiced layers, house-made cream cheese icing, and the kind of thing you'd swear needs a sweater and a porch. Have it in the air conditioning with an iced coffee. We won't say a word.

The September cupcakes aren't pretending it's fall at all: Payday, Reese's, Italian Cream, German Chocolate, Chocolate-Covered Strawberry, and Pistachio Almond. Six flavors, one month, then the case turns over again.

Come pick your six. Or order ahead and skip the deciding-at-the-counter part — though we've never once minded watching someone decide.

Sweetly, ♥️ The Ludger's Team

This cake has a little bit of a split personality… and we are HERE for it. 🕷️🖤❤️

Spider-Man on one side. Venom on the other. And that tongue?! Our decorators absolutely understood the assignment. 🙌

One of our favorite things about custom cakes is watching an idea turn into something completely unique for the person we’re celebrating.

Tell us what your kid is obsessed with right now, and we’ll figure out how to put it on a cake. 😉🎂

Plot twist: you don’t even have to get out of your car to enjoy Ludger’s! 🚗🍰☕️

Swing through our drive-thru for coffee, breakfast, lunch, a sweet treat, or even a whole cake. Because some days, getting out of the car is simply asking too much. 😉

Full disclosure: this photo was taken during COVID, when our window to the world was quite literally this window. During such an uncertain time, our community continued to show up for us through the drive-thru, and we still look back on that support with immense pride and gratitude. You helped keep our doors open, our team working, and Ludger’s Bavarian Cakery moving forward.

Our drive-thru is still here to make your mornings, lunches, coffee runs, sweet-treat stops, and cake pickups a little easier. To us, though, this window will always represent so much more.

Thank you, Tulsa, for showing up then and for continuing to show up today. ❤️

Two new menu items just entered the chat. 👀 And we think you’re going to want to meet them.

🥑 Southwest Avocado Toast
Jalapeño bread piled with smashed avocado, pico de gallo, an over-medium egg, and a chipotle aioli drizzle. Fresh, a little spicy, a little messy, and absolutely worth it.

🥐 Ham & Swiss Croissant Melt
Ham, melty Swiss, and Dijon mustard tucked into a warm, flaky croissant. Simple? Yes. Boring? Absolutely not.

Getting to be a small part of your celebrations, traditions, and everyday life is something we’ll never take for granted.

Recess called. It wants its cookie back. 🍪

Soft, scratch-made oatmeal cookies filled with creamy marshmallow goodness. Basically a permission slip to be a kid again.

Our Oatmeal Cream Pies are in the case daily, or pre-order if you want to guarantee your stash. Because somehow, one is never enough.

📍 Come see us at our place at 91st & Sheridan.

What does a Tulsa Oktoberfest dessert have to do with the cake that built our bakery?

Quite a lot, actually.

In 1980, Ludger needed a dessert to serve at Oktoberfest in Tulsa. For inspiration, he reached back to his childhood in Germany and Käsekuchen, a traditional German cheesecake.

Together with Westin pastry chef and lifelong friend Hans Strzyso, Ludger developed what would become the Bavarian Cream Cheesecake.

They took it to Tulsa Oktoberfest not knowing what to expect and sold somewhere around 7,000 to 8,000 slices that first year.

The cheesecake stayed with Ludger as he went on to open his own restaurant in Tulsa. Before long, it wasn't just being served for dessert. Customers were choosing it for weddings and other special occasions, too.

Those requests kept coming. And eventually, one very special cheesecake helped grow into the bakery you know as Ludger's Bavarian Cakery today.

More than 45 years later, the Bavarian Cream Cheesecake is still at the heart of Ludger's, connecting a childhood memory from Germany to generations of celebrations right here in Tulsa. ❤️
