Shara has made several cakes for me. They have always looked fabulous and tasted wonderful!
Shara takes great care of the bride and grooms wants and her cakes are delicious!
Wow what a savior!!!!!!!!!! This weekend one of my brides wedding cake had a problem in delivery and arrived totally caving in and falling apart EEEEKKK so when we arrived to put the flowers on the cake... what could we do to help????? Instantly thought of Cakes by Shara, would she have a rental cake available so last minute? On behalf of the bride we gave Shara a quick call and I couldn't believe it but in between Shara's own busy weekend of cake deliveries she seemed to have the care and concern to get a beautiful white 5 tier rental cake for our bride and in less than an hour. She saved the day!!!! Thank you Shara for your incredible, prompt and kind kind service and heart. ~Fresh by CarryAnn (-:

Tips and Advice


Think about renting your cake this year to save money.

We use stable buttercream, If we are asked to use a egg white based icing we will use pasteurized egg whites for your protection, make sure anyone using this icing uses pasteurized egg whites.
