Cakes
Our baking philosophy is "From scratch, by hand, with love." We believe firmly that, however beautiful, a cake is only
as good as it tastes; we maintain that only fresh, real, natural ingredients can produce that delicious "like Grandma
used to make" taste for which our cakes are known. We bake every cake and make every cream, conserve and
frosting from scratch, in small batches, using no mixes or artificial flavorings--we will never sacrifice flavor and
texture for convenience.
Design and Artistry
Sally Ann, formerly a high school teacher of languages in her native England, moved with her husband Nick and their
young children, Sam and Hannah, to the United States in 1989, and settled in the Bay Area in 1994.
Sally Ann has a life-long passion for all things culinary, and began her baking career as a tiny child, "helping" her
mother Kay, herself a renowned home baker. Throughout her life, Sally Ann has delighted in creating hand baked,
mouthwatering and beautiful sweet treats for family and friends, and over many years has honed her baking and
decorating skills to a top professional level. She revels in the process of interpreting her clients' visions in edible
form, and loves to help them create a memorable celebration.
One of Sally Ann's special skills is the handcrafting of exquisite sugar flowers, so realistic they are often mistaken for
the real thing--except that a sugar flower never wilts, and can be kept as a permanent memento, long after the cake
has been devoured. She also loves working with fondant and chocolate, molding or sculpting unique motifs to
represent her clients' particular pastimes and passions. Whatever the message, Sally Ann will find a way to say it in
cake!
