A Letter from Gwen Homitz

Gwen HomitzSince I was a little girl my love and talent for the arts has taken me through many art classes, a degree in Graphic Design from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, and a few years working in the field. While raising my family, I started making cakes as a hobby. I enjoyed making cakes for friends and family partly because I like making cakes, but mostly because I love the look on their faces when they see a unique cake made just for them. Through this process I learned I could be just as creative with cake decorating as any other graphic art, and the baking part just came naturally!

I wanted to further my skills, so I took a cake decorating course and gained more experience while working in a local bakery. I was then determined to open my own shop and do what people desire - custom designed cakes to suit any occasion.

My inspiration is also my partner in both marriage and business. My husband Ron and I met when we were both in art school. He has been an Industrial Designer and Creative Consultant for over 30 years. In the last few years he has become a big part of the success of our business. Ron is our Fondant king. By that, I mean that Ron not only constructs the specialty fondant cakes we do, but he has also become a big part in helping design them, as well.

Ron and I specialize in bringing your individual requests to life by creating intricate details, designs and sculpting the perfect cake. We look forward to working together to create your one of a kind cake!
