I am located in Avon Lake, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. Note the Calendar for open dates for cakes. Be sure to move down the right side to see all the gallery descriptions! The cake
options page lists flavors of cakes, flavors of frostings, types of frostings, types of fillings, shapes of pans, ideas for cakes not pictured in the galleries. My most requested
cakes are white yellow and chocolate raspberry. Go to the contact page to request a quote or order a cake. If you want something special or not shown in the galleries, choose other or
consult with Shari. Cakes are freshly made with ingredients like eggs, butter, canola oil and no trans fat shortening. Buttercream frosting is prepared with confectioner's sugar,
butter, cream, shortening (no transfat) and optional flavorings such as pure vanilla, dutch processed cocoa powder, almond extract as listed in the cake options. Butter cream can be
tinted any color. Fondant can be flavored or tinted and is made with confectioner's sugar, corn syrup white chocolate and marshmallow. (Fondant covered cakes always have buttercream
frosting under the fondant.) Fondant can be eaten. It has a texture like Tootsie Rolls. It is like sweet candy. Chocolate Fondant is prepared with semi sweet chocolate and corn syrup.
Fondant is best to form animals, people, tools, or other special request theme objects to be included on a cake. Fondant looks smooth and crisp and makes it easier to push the
envelope with creativity. Royal Icing consists of confectioner's sugar, powdered egg whites, flavoring and water and is usually only used for flowers or decorations. It will be very
hard and crunchy. Most flowers and leaves can be created with buttercream, fondant, or royal icing. Fondant or royal icing flowers will hold up better in the warm weather for outside
events. Frosting as well as the cake batter could be tinted to any color to match the event's theme. Cakes can be customized to a single layer, multiple stacked layers or can be
stacked on pillars. Flowers to decorate the cakes can be fashioned of butter cream royal icing or Fondant. Live flowers can also be placed on cakes or in a bouquet with the cake on
pillars above them. Wedding cakes can be placed on cake stands if desired. Several designs are available at stores like JoAnne's , Michaels or Pat Catan's.
