How long have you been designing cakes? We have been designing cakes for about 5 years, up until the last two it was just for fun.  After that point, things really started to take off.What got you interested in starting your business? I love what I do, why not have it be my career.  Also, there wasn’t any cakeries in the valley that produced the same novelty type cakes that we make so many of.  We saw an opportunity in the Phoenix area to offer something that wasn’t offered at very many other cakeries.

What do you feel sets you apart from other cake designers in the wedding industry? We try to be really unique in our designs, offering more non traditional style wedding cakes and novelty cakes.

What are you most favorite kinds of cakes to make? What types of designs do you love? I love making wedding cakes or anything humorous.   Wedding cakes are fun because of the gorgeous end result and funny cakes are the best because they always produce a laugh from the client in the end.  There is no better satisfaction than being able to make the client visibly happy.

What do you enjoy most about working in the wedding industry? I enjoy the creativity of the brides.  They all have a very unique idea of what they want and what fits their style.  I enjoy creating their unique vision.

When meeting with brides who don’t know much about cakes, what is the biggest tip you find yourself giving them? I find myself always explaining what fondant is.  People are sort of confused at first, but then I explain that it’s like a tasty marshmallow pillow covering their cake.

What are things brides should be thinking about before meeting with you? They should nail down a budget, and be thinking about what type of design they would like.  Pictures are a big help!

What current trend in wedding cakes do you most like personally? I love the trend toward brighter colors rather than traditional white.  Wedding cakes are only traditionally white because of the ingredients used to make them.  When the tradition began, food dye was not used in the same ways that it is now.

Any fun-facts that we should really know that would contribute even more to your coolness? We are family owned and operated, and we will make ABSOLUTELY anything.
