About Me
Hello, and thank you for visiting my website! Creating custom designed wedding and party cakes is what I do! I am a self-taught
cake artist that has always enjoyed making cakes. I'm often asked when or how I got into doing cakes, and quite honestly, I really don't know. It was always just a hobby of mine even back through high school and college. Over those years, I gained a foundation of "cake knowledge" and lots of experience through trial and error! I started Confections in Cake after doing my cousins wedding cake (it's the orange mosaic cake that has become my signature design and logo) and getting encouragement from my husband and family to pursue my hobby as a business. From then on, the business just continued to grow, and I eventually left my career in the Marketing Research industry so that I could devote all of my attention to cake design! I really do enjoy what I do, and I hope it shows in my work!
Quality Workmanship - Compare photos to other bakers. I am experienced and very capable in doing both buttercream and fondant cakes. Not all bakers are. Although I specialize in great fondant cakes, at a great price, you will see many examples of crisp buttercream designs as well.
Consistent Quality - I am the one who will talk with you in the design process, and the person that will create the finished product. All cakes on this website were done by me. You don't have to wonder who in the back will actually do your cake and if it will measure up in quality.
Freshness - All cakes and icing are made fresh for your cake. Nothing is ever refrigerated or frozen. And only the best quality of ingredients are used.
Best Tasting Fondant - All fondant is made by me, fresh for your cake. It is not bought and shipped to me after sitting on a shelf for who knows how long - giving it that stale, cardboard taste, as I've heard it described. It is made from a marshmallow base, giving it the best flavor around. I can't tell you how many countless people have commented on not liking or wanting fondant on their cake, only to change their mind after trying mine.
Great Prices - If you have been looking around, you will know that my prices compare nicely to others in the area for the level of quality that you get - especially if you compare the cost vs. quality for fondant designs! I attribute that to the fact that I make my own. I once heard a saying that always rings a bell with me "good cakes aren't cheap, and cheap cakes aren't good". So true! But seriously, good quality cakes take time to do, that is why they cost what they do.
Experience - You will see from the many photos on my website, I have done many, many cakes - wedding and party cakes, too. I have lots of regular clients that come back to me time and time again for their party cakes, because they know that they can count on me to create a cake that they will love and it will taste just as awesome!
