About

In 1977, Yolanda Amaya began a burgeoning hobby of cake baking and decorating. As her talent for baking began to spread via word of mouth, Yolanda began to receive a multitude of orders that spurned her to turn her hobby into a business.

In 1995, after years of baking from home, Mrs. Amaya decided to move her business into a legitimate establishment. Yolanda’s Specialty Cakes quickly became and has stood forerunner as a favorite in the cakery and baked goods industry of Corpus Christi, Texas.

As owner of Yolanda’s Specialty Cakes, Yolanda has accrued over 25 years experience in the food industry. She has acquired and honed her skills by dedicated her time in working closely with her staff and by meeting her customers needs. Yolanda’s Specialty Cakes has established a high reputation within the Corpus Christi community and continues to meet and exceed the expectations of their customers. With a hands on owner and dedicated staff, Yolanda’s Specialty Cakes has proven they are more than worthy of the high praise they have received and continue to receive for the last nineteen years.

Yolanda's Specialty Cakes is a cakery, a bakery, and vendor of party and baking supplies.

Yolanda's Specialty Cakes has been baking sweet treats in South Texas for over 19 years. From satisfying your little sweet tooth to creating showstopping cakes for your huge bash, we do it all! We even carry baking goods and decorations!

We create cakes, cupcakes, and cookies for any occasion from birthdays to weddings, and everything in between. Various bakery goods are available in our cases everyday and are also available for special order--ask about availability.

Our cakes are primarily made-to-order, so please do place your orders with as much lead-time as possible! We do, however, have a small selection of smaller, ready-made cakes available everyday for those emergencies. Not sure you have enough time? Call us!
Cake sampling is in store every Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM, no appointment necessary.
We keep plenty of example photos of our work on-site, and we're always happy to work with our customers to create whatever unique ideas they may have.

Last minute request for a very specific elegant wedding cake and I must say Yolanda's bakers did an AMAZING JOB!!! The flowers made of icing looked like fresh cut flowers!!! I only wish I could post a picture of it her so you can see for yourself.

I went into Yolanda's with my own idea's. One of the employee's sat there with me and drew out what i described to her. The cake was absolutely everything I had pictured! The staff there was always so friendly and helpful. Not to mention how delicious the cake was. Even after the wedding people kept asking who did my cake! That was my first time getting a cake from Yolanda's and I will continue to do so for any event coming up. Thank you Yolanda's for making my day that much more special!

Beautiful cakes! Delicious and looked wonderful! The groom's cake was a little bit different than what we discussed, but not a huge discrepancy. Overall, I was extremely pleased with their designs, taste, and professionalism. Our cakes really looked and tasted perfect!

The service was excellent. Every visit I made, I was treated with importance. Even when I was late submitting my cake design choice, they didn't give me a difficult time. I'd recommend them to any future bride, and if you're military, ask for military discount. I highly recommend Yolanda's Specialty Cakes.
