About me...
Dana Garrett, Cake Decorator - Pastry Chef - Mom
I have always been enamored with cake decorating. As a child, I loved watching my grandmother bake and decorate wedding cakes. I remember her taking the cakes out of the oven, turning them out of the pans, and frosting them. I can still remember the way they smelled. It was when I was around the age of 8 that she began teaching me how to ice cakes. Her patience was incredible as she watched me fumble through my first attempts. She would give me a prepared pastry bag and show me how to pipe. We would make stars and shells and sometimes just be silly. She eventually taught me how to make roses; which came in handy for my high school home economics class. It was her hobby that fueled my passion for baking and led me to the field of baking and pasty arts. Thanks, Grandma!
I received a baking and pastry degree from Sullivan University in 2006. I started out by baking and decorating cakes for family and friends in my spare time. After I got married and had a daughter, I desperately wanted to be a stay at home mom, but still wanted to pursue my passion. So, with my husband's assistance, I started my own home business in 2013.
The Classy Cakery, LLC is a cottage bakery (everything is done out of my own home) and I am fully licensed and insured. My cakes are super delicious; and, because I work out of my home, I can offer my designs at typically lower prices than a store front bakery. I love that I can offer customers the chance to have a special cake made exclusively for them, without it costing an extraordinary amount.
Please feel free to take a look through the site and check out some of my previous designs.. Everything I make is custom made and tailored to your request. I have created a link below to show a synopsis of the customization process.
Thank you for looking!
