Each of the galleries takes about 10 hours to make. I have 600 additional photos to process so I am adding a little every week. When this is done it will be a 2000 page website. Leave me some comments Yo !!

Mango Cake with Fruit Topping

Super Yum. This creation is almost too good looking to eat. Cakes like this are available every day from the cake window or they can be made in advance to your specifications. We prefer 24 hour advance calls for custom cakes. Of course large cakes may take a couple days prep.
