After our wedding in 2002 we set our sights on starting a business that most importantly, reflected our values about quality and personal rapport with our customers. Our friends and family were already our fans and we wanted our customers to feel that same trust in us. We're proud to say that most of our customers have become friends.

The heart of Baking By Design is our famous wedding birthday and specialty cakes. Along with custom centerpieces, gingerbread houses and chocolate challah bread for the holidays, we also have fun items such as our "Fur Aprons".

We are constantly keeping up with new trends and ideas by participating in competitions around the country and attending Master classes around the world.

We look forward to hearing from you and being a part of your special event.
