Every summer we get people from all over the world who somehow find their way to our cake shop. Just today we had a mother from Louisiana celebrating her son’s birthday stop in to get a birthday cupcake. She told me how she always orders from us online for her kids birthdays but when she’s in town, she loves to stop in and see us in person. What a treat! It never fails to amaze me how our little cake shop in Silver Lake has reached so many people in so many places across the globe. Please come in and see us when you can. Everyone is welcome and we’d love to see you!
