About

Takes the Cakes was born in my mind and heart many, many years ago and in early 2005 I had the opportunity to realize my dream by opening a fully legal commercial cake shop dedicated to creating customized and tasty decorated cakes.

No pastries, cookies, pies and hardly a cupcake...just made-to-order cake designs! Decorating cakes for close to 20 years, my experience, passion and attention to detail are what set apart my cakes and keep my clients happy.

My work standard is Quality over Quantity which in my vision translates into beautiful cakes for weddings, birthdays, baby showers and other special occasions. To uphold my standard, a limited number of cakes are accepted per week, so appointments or phone consultations are necessary.

The best way to reach me these days is by email at milliecakes12@aol.com. My shop hours are by appointment only and I am closed on Sunday and Monday.

I’ve used Millie several times for my cake needs, and recently hired her to bake our wedding cake in September, 2017. As always, she did a downright fabulous job. The cake was incredibly beautiful, and exactly what I had described to her that I had wanted. And Y’ALL – it was DELICIOUS!! We went with yellow cake, with milk chocolate filling and butter cream icing. It was so moist and perfect!! We provided cake flowers (including succulents) for Millie to add to our cake and she did a beautiful job arranging those on our cake. I will continue to use Millie for my future cake needs!! Thanks again Millie!!

Millie did such an amazing job with our wedding cakes! We had a pretty traditional bride's cake which was amazingly delicious and so beautiful! Exactly like her sample photos. She even placed the flowers/cake topper perfectly and provided a cake stand. The groom's cake had a "traditional tattoo" theme which needs a certain level of artistry and technique to pull off - Millie pulled it off perfectly! It was probably the most talked about thing at our wedding. Definitely a special touch and the groom loved it and couldn't get over how accurate the artwork was. Any time I need a cake in DFW I am definitely reaching out to Millie again! Amazing value for the quality, and you deal directly with the owner who is incredibly professional and friendly.

I cannot say enough good things about Takes the Cakes by Millie. She designed the most beautiful and thoughtful cake for my son's first birthday party. Millie was a dream to work with and the cake was the hit of the party! The details of the cake were amazing, and all eatable! And not only did his cake fit the theme to a T (camping theme), but it was moist and delicious! I will continue to use Takes the Cakes by Millie for all future events and highly recommend her to family and friends. Thank you Millie for making such a special cake for my son's first birthday!

I absolutely loved the cake! It was delicious and looked stunning. Millie did a great job. She was so easy to work with and very quick to respond if I had any questions. The cake was delivered and set up on time. I was so impressed with Millie throughout the whole wedding planning process. I would definitely recommend Millie to others for a wedding cake. Her work is fantastic and the cake tasted delicious. Thank you Millie!

We requested a Marine theme groom cake. Even though I am familiar with Millie's great work, I and everyone at the venue were amazed by the intricate attention to detail. Simply beautiful and stunning! Thank you Millie for another masterful work of art!

My wife and I were extremely pleased with our shower cake, wedding cake, and couple's cake. Millie created a beautiful tiered cake that tasted just as wonderful as it looked. Her cakes are always lovely, no matter the event, and we would recommend her to anyone who enjoys cake.
