A New Home for Truly Custom Cakery,LLC

It's been a very busy time here at Truly Custom Cakery, LLC. So much so that we neglected to keep you up to date on the many exciting changes that are taking place.

In April, we announced that Truly Custom Cakery, LLC and Cakes by Suzy had decided to merge! This was a huge and very exciting step. A little scary for both Suzy and I, but we also both know, that once we transition and overcome the adjustments, we'll make a GREAT team! I'm so very excited to work with such a talented and capable decorator.

For our first collaboration, Suzy and I entered the 7th Annual "Let Them Eat Cake" competition at the Lowes, Philadelphia Hotel. We walked away with 3 of the 5 possible awards and were so happy to share with everyone what amazing possibilities are in store with this merger! We make a GREAT team! Just imagine what we'll be able to accomplish when we work together on a daily basis!

We won Most Artistic, Best Use of Theme, and People's Choice! 

The next change is much more involved and a lot more stressful. With the merger, we needed a common place to work and grow our business. That was NOT in our home kitchens. This is the BIG step. Going from two separate home based cake shops into one, retail, cake boutique. It was a little more challenging than we imagined it would be, but thankfully, we overcame many obstacles and we are in the home stretch!

We hope you enjoy these pictures of our progress so far and that you will make plans to come visit us in our new cake boutique soon. We are so thankful for our wonderful friends, customers, and fans for all of your encouragement, business, and support! Without you, we'd have never made it this far!

Before... We took this photo the day we signed the lease

During... It really does get WORSE before it gets better! It was a MESS!

These photos were taken on the day we passed our final inspections with the Township. We aren't "done" yet, but we are almost there! It's the home stretch and we'll be moving in, decorating, and working out of our new kitchen in the next couple of weeks! 

Stay tuned for some exciting Grand Opening Promotions from Truly Custom Cakery, LLC! We'll be announcing these in the very near future!

A Cake Backlog. From Baby Showers to 50th Birthday's and everything in between.

Suzy and I have been very busy lately between preparations for the new shop, filling orders, and the school year winding down for our kids. This spring has most definitely been a wild ride. We've had a variety of different cakes over the past several weeks and wanted to share them with you. Hope you enjoy! And stay tuned. Construction has finally started on our new shop and we hope to open for business in June!

Let Them Eat Cake 2012 - Under The Big Top

Every Spring for the past 7 years, City of Hope has hosted a wonderful event called "Let Them Eat Cake". It's held in downtown Philadelphia at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel. This year, the event theme was "Under The Big Top". And it was AMAZING! Talk about the perfect theme to get artists and decorators to use their imaginations and bring their A-game!

Suzy and I worked hard to come up with a design that would defy gravity, show off a number of different techniques, draw people from a distance, and then keep them there with details. And I have to say, we pulled it off!

We were thrilled to walk away with THREE of the five available prizes. We won Most Artistic, Best Use of Theme, and Audience Choice. This was a VERY big deal for us, as it was our first project together! And with the merger of Cakes by Suzy & Truly Custom Cakery, LLC, we REALLY wanted to win as a team!

Enjoy the photos! And stay tuned. We hope to be in our new Cake Boutique before the Summer of 2012!!!

 Hidden Object Fun...

You can find LOTS more photos on our facebook page! We've got a whole album dedicated to the event complete with photos of our competition as well as pictures of the building of the cake!

A Plethora of Pretty Cakes

It's been crazy busy lately! So many wonderful and exciting things happening and so many late nights trying to keep up with it all. One day soon I plan to get some sleep! ha ha

In the meantime, I'll enjoy this phase of my life and thank God for the excitement and the adrenaline rush to keep me moving when I should be a zombie from lack of sleep.

Here are several of my recent cakes. It's kinda cool that I really like most of them. As decorators, even if the cake turns out the way the customer wanted, we sometimes just aren't "feelin' it" and when that happens, we just feel kinda "blah". But I've gotten some great orders lately. Bright, fun, and pretty. And well...it's no secret that I like pretty cakes!

Thanks for stopping by!

A Match Made in Cake

I am so excited to share this wonderful news! For a couple of months I've been working with a very talented fellow baker/decorator on plans to merge our custom cake shops and move into a retail location. All of our planning is coming together and we are very excited to announce that we will have plans to open our retail location before the Summer of 2012!

Suzy is an incredibly talented cake artist located in Penndel, PA. She's been featured in several magazines and has won some local awards for her work. Our skills and talents compliment each other nicely and we are very excited to be working together. Please feel free to check out Suzy's work at http://www.CakesbySuzy.com. One of the things I love is that our quality and look is similar. We are truly a Match Made in Cake! 

What does this mean for our customers? 

• We'll  have a showroom complete with displays and a place to do consults and tastings!

• Better Availability! With the move to a shop with commercial equipment, we'll be more efficient. We can focus on our strengths and delegate tasks accordingly. And that means that YOU will get better service AND a better product.

• TWO AWARD WINNING Cake Artists in one location! What could be better than that?

• A merger of our menu's which will give you more options. Over time, this will expand to include some specialty flavors. Stay tuned!

• More price points so that you can come to us for the big events and the small ones.

When is all of this happening?

We still have some details to work out and of course there are several different parties involved. We anticipate that we'll be open before June 1st of 2012, but we'll let you know an actual date as soon as we get it.

Where will the shop be located? 

• We are still negotiating the terms of our lease, but the proposed location is at 315 E Street Road, Warminster, PA. (Bucks County)

• It has easy access to the turnpike, I95, 611, and several other major arteries in the area.

Will I still have to order my cakes well in advance?


Our availability will be better once we merge, but we'll still be a custom cake shop. And custom cakes require advance planning and time. You won't need to order SO far in advance, but you will still need to order at least 2 weeks out for custom cakes. More detailed and larger cakes will need more time. So it's always best to contact us as soon as you know you are planning an event where you will be serving a "special" cake.

Will you have a greater variety of products available?


Over time we will start introducing some new and exciting options. However, our goal in the beginning is to focus on the orders we already have in the books and make sure those customers are well cared for during the transition. After we are settled, we'll start rolling out some new options!
