Celebrating 12 Years of Excellence: Our Journey to 12 Consecutive Best of State Awards

It’s official! After twelve incredible years, we’re beyond thrilled to announce that we’ve earned the coveted Best of State award for the 12th consecutive year. But it’s not just a win for us—it’s a win for our community, our loyal customers, and everyone who has supported us on this amazing journey.

The Best of State Awards are a prestigious recognition of excellence in business across the state. Each year, businesses from all industries compete for this honor, and it’s not just about the products or services—they evaluate everything from customer service and sustainability to community involvement. To be named the best of the best, year after year, is truly a testament to our unwavering commitment to our craft.

Twelve years ago, we started with a simple goal: to provide exceptional products/services to our community. What we didn’t know at the time was how much that commitment would shape our business, our relationships, and our success. From the very first Best of State win to today, we’ve grown in ways we never imagined. Along the way, we’ve faced challenges that tested our resolve, but with every obstacle, we’ve only become stronger.

This win is a powerful reminder that excellence is never accidental. It’s the result of passion, perseverance, and a shared vision. Our team has always gone above and beyond to create something special, and being recognized for that effort is incredibly rewarding. But this recognition isn’t just for us—it’s for every person who has supported us along the way. From our loyal customers to the families who make up our incredible team, this award belongs to all of us. We’re committed to continuing our journey of growth and innovation, always striving to provide even better experiences for our customers. If you haven’t already, come try our cakes and experience what makes us unique, or stay tuned for exciting new updates.

This 12th consecutive win isn’t just a number—it’s a symbol of everything we’ve achieved together. We couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you. Thank you for being part of this journey, for believing in us, and for making this incredible achievement possible. Here’s to many more years of excellence!

My Favorite Moment, That I Never Get to See!

Of course, I love love LOVE spending time in the kitchen creating beautiful cakes. But oftentimes on the wedding day, I am there for about 15 minutes, just to drop off the cake and go! What you might not know, is that I have a favorite moment of the wedding day, that I almost never get to witness- and it's when the couple takes their first bite of cake after cutting it! 

I LOVE when I get amazing photos of my couples enjoying their cake, so without further ado enjoy some of my favorite photos of this exact moment, and tell me you love it too!
