One of the best parts of owning a local bakery is meeting so many wonderful people who live in and visit our eastern North Carolina community. We enjoy hearing stories of celebrations and helping each person create a delicious centerpiece for their special event.  Here’s a showcase collection featuring some of our favorite custom cakes.

Rose Birthday Cake

This elaborate custom cake was an 18th birthday cake for a special young lady who loves roses. It featured strawberry cake, iced in delicious buttercream. Many beautiful, handmade fresh fondant petals transform this birthday cake into a birthday rose.

May the Force Be with You Graduation Cake

Inspired from the Star War’s storm trooper character. “May the Force Be with You” is fitting life advice for any graduating Star Wars enthusiast.

Clover and Tartan Wedding Cake

White buttercream provides bridal tone and beautiful contrast for the rich reds and greens atop this cake. A realistic red and black tartan scarf and green clovers celebrate the couple’s Scottish and Irish heritage.  It’s all deliciously edible.

 “We the People” Fundraiser Cake

“The We the People cake was for a fundraiser, but we’ve made it multiple times since. The document is edible and so are the flowers. The document is printed on our food printer and added to a thin sheet of fondant. The flowers are hand-made. This cake design is a great choice for any patriot, 4th of July or History buff occasion- birthday-celebration.”
