Be watching for BAKE DAYS on Wednesdays at 7:00 am. Gayla and her daughters will be baking up your favorite items and open at 7:00 am, Wednesdays, until they sell out! Starting in 2023 we’ll be announcing dates for Baking & Decorating Classes, as well as Decorating Parties. We’ll no longer be serving cakes as a retail store-front, but we welcome your custom cake orders for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and anything else. Follow us on Facebook or contact us to order your custom cakes.

I don’t love change. I’m generally pretty happy with the status quo. Recently, it seems Godwants me to learn how to embrace change…Earlier this year, my first hire, my friend, my sister-in-Christ, Jenni, gave me her notice. She andher husband had moved back to where Jenni grew up. She had been making the long drive,but the time came to stop.

It’s 2 days before Christmas, late at night. My daughter, Alli, and I are working late to finish up Christmas Eve orders for pick-up in the morning. It’s quiet in the bakery except for my Pandora station playing some of my favorite carols from “back in the day”. I’m putting together cake rolls for some orders. A memory immediate springs to mind of being a young girl in Grandma Finley’s kitchen. She’s making a jelly roll, much like I’m doing right now. I remember watching her turn it out onto the tea towel and rolling it up. After a little while, she unrolls it and spreads jam all over it.…

We appreciate it so much when customers take the time to send us positive reviews!  We love being a part of celebrations all over the city, but sometimes we never hear anything after the cake leaves the bakery.  So, it’s always the cherry on top to hear that it was a hit at the party!  Here are a few recent customer reviews we received on Facebook.  #humblebrag Oh my gosh!!!
