Custom Cakes

We want your cake to reflect your unique style and personality. We can design your cake based upon invitations or theme of your event.

The Sugar Fairy

California-born April Simpson has cooked and baked around the country in notable places such as Rover’s in Seattle, The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, The Fairmont Hotel in Chicago and the Duquesne Club in Pittsburgh. She’s taught Pastry Arts at the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute, and now she runs her own business: Vanilla Pastry Studio.

The shop is stocked with creative cakes, cookies, brownies and scones. Her signature confections are soft-centered “Lollys” – desserts on a stick – offering such enticing flavors as salted caramel custard, white chocolate raspberry and key lime pie. She also works with caterers to custom design wedding and special event cakes.
