Attack on titan

This bakery will be my bakery for LIFE! The way they helped me decide the flavors and how flexible they were with my requests!! The way the cake turned out to be! I am in awe! Cake was supposed to be enough for 10 people but it was so big to feed more people than that! I love it so much and i will always recommend!

Yummy cake and nice design

We worked with CCD through our venue, Milton Ridge. During our tasting we were met with so many delicious flavors and cake styles! Everything was so nice and so yummy it was difficult to choose. We ended with butter rum and a lemon raspberry cake. Our guests were in LOVE! So moist and tasted just as good as it did during the tasting. Our cake design was talked through and the finished product was very on theme for our wedding.

Graduation cake

The graduation cake for my grandson was beautiful! Delicious red velvet with buttercream icing. The attendees were amazed at how delicious the cake was and how talented the cake designer did. I will definitely use custom cakes again.
