You'll notice the difference the first time you taste one of our homemade cakes over the kind you find at the grocery store. They haven't been sitting in a freezer for weeks on end.<br /><br />Our most popular cake is a combination of a layer of creamy vanilla, a layer of chocolate crunchies, and a layer of delicious chocolate, all covered in delicious baker's cream with piping and M&amp;M confetti on top.<br /><br />We also offer the opportunity to choose from an assortment of 30+ soft flavors if you're feeling in the mood to mix things up a bit. (Creme de menthe ice cream with the chocolate crunchies -- aka the Grasshopper -- is a retro winner that people love.)<br /><br />Master cake decorate Eileen is always up for the challenge of taking a customer's direction and bringing it to life.<br /><br />Here are two carnival-inspired cakes of a merlady and a muscleman both with birthday wishes attached!
