The Lane Cake - a uniquely Southern dessert, with its roots in Alabama. Layers of soft white cake sponge, with a custard filling loaded with pecans, coconut, raisins, a heavy splash of bourbon, and then covered all over with fluffy 7-minute frosting. The Lane Cake was made famous in the classic novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird", when Scout declared "Miss Maudie baked a Lane cake so loaded with shinny it made me tight!"

In 2016 the Lane Cake was voted the official state cake of Alabama - who knew??

You don't typically see Lane Cakes on bakery menus, but it's on mine! If you've ever wanted to try a Lane Cake, please reach out to me on Facebook Messenger, or email: [email protected]

Happy Saturday everyone, and there is a COLD week coming up!

This past week Brittney asked me to make a Hummingbird Cake for her boss - thanks Brittney! Hummingbird Cake is a southern original - a very moist cake made with bananas, pineapple, pecans, and cream cheese frosting. It is very rich and weighs about 8 pounds!

Remember that Valentine's Day is coming up - perfect for a heart shaped Red Velvet or Chocolate Cake, or maybe some Red Velvet heart shaped cookies, or some Oreo Truffles.

For any sweet treats, please reach out to me on Facebook Messenger or email me: [email protected]

Happy Monday everyone,

Wow, Christmas is almost here! Lots of baking going on this week for many awesome customers.

During the past few days, there was a Caramel Cake for our long-time dear friend Ann that she wanted for a friend's birthday.

Christmas Cookie variety boxes for our friends Candace and Fred. There were Red Velvet Christmas trees, Gingerbread snowmen and Sugar cookie Christmas stockings.

"Crack" Candy and Oreo Truffles for our sweet friend Denise to share at their office/restaurant party. Denise and her husband Drew own Ole Hickory BBQ on Maysville Road in New Market and they have delicious food. Matt LOVES their wings and I go between BBQ chicken, one of their great burgers or the "Hog-Wild" sandwich.

Red Velvet Cupcakes for a ladies Christmas party at church, and a Double Chocolate sheet cake for my new friend Cheryl to celebrate her mom's 90th Birthday.

I'm totally booked through the end of the year --- if you need something in 2025, message me here on Facebook or email me at [email protected]

I'll have another post after Christmas to show you some of the things I made for Christmas orders.

May God Bless you all and Merry Christmas ~ Mona (& Matt)

Happy Thanksgiving Week everyone!

I'd like to congratulate a sweet young lady (Celia) and a nice young man (Tory) on their wedding over the weekend.

My baking partner (Judi) and I were blessed to be asked to make their wedding cake. It was a 3-tiered Vanilla-Almond cake with Vanilla-Almond buttercream frosting. The surprise --- in between EACH layer was a strawberry buttercream frosting! And a special thanks to my husband Matt for helping me deliver and set up the cake - that thing weighed about 40 lbs!

Here's to years of happiness together Celia & Tory! Thanks for allowing Judi & I to be a small part of your big day!

Know someone getting married? Have them reach out and we can arrange a no-obligation tasting of different flavors for a nominal fee. Due to time constraints and work involved, we can only do a few weddings a year, so the sooner you get on our calendar - the better. Contact me on Facebook Messenger or [email protected]

Happy Sunday,

This past week, two long-time dear friends asked me to make some special cakes and desserts for celebrations. Penny and Tom asked for a Double Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Buttercream frosting for an "O Happy Day" family gathering. And Connie asked for a Chocolate Ganache Cake and a big batch of Royal Caribbean Coconut Ranger Cookies to celebrate a few friend's birthdays (I know a couple --- Happy Birthday Vickie & Rachel!). Thank you Penny, Tom, and Connie for asking me to be a part of your special celebrations!

I'm totally booked for Thanksgiving, but still have some availability in December for the Christmas & New Year's. I will post on that in the next few days. For any sweet treats, please contact me on Facebook Messenger or to: [email protected]

Happy Sunday,

This past week, I had the privilege to make two birthday cakes for some sweet folks. The first cake was a Devil's Food Cake with Vanilla American Buttercream frosting for Kathy and her son Craig's birthday. The second cake was a Vanilla Cake with Almond-Vanilla Buttercream frosting for my friend Lana and her mom's birthday celebration. Happy Birthday Craig and Mrs. Brown!

I'm totally booked up for Thanksgiving, but do have some availability before then, and some available dates in December for the Christmas holiday. For any sweet treats, you can contact me on Facebook Messenger, or at [email protected]

Good Monday evening everyone,

Recently, Ersilia asked me to make a Yellow Butter Cake with Chocolate American Buttercream for her uncle's birthday. As it turns out, Ersilia and I attend the same church, so that was a happy surprise!

My Christmas baking calendar is starting to get full, so contact me soon for any holiday baked goodies. You can contact me on Facebook Messenger, or at [email protected]

Happy mid-week everyone,

This past weekend, my sweet long-time friend Kim asked me to make wedding cakes and grooms cake for her granddaughter's wedding. These were the traditional Vanilla-Almond cake with Vanilla-Almond American Buttercream frosting ("naked" frosting technique), and the grooms cake was a yellow cake with rich chocolate frosting. It was a little hard making that Auburn sugar cookie on top (RTR!), but it turned out cute! Kim - many Blessings to your granddaughter and her husband, and Thank You for asking me to be a small part of the celebration (thanks Kim for the pictures).

I'm all booked up for Thanksgiving, but for sweet treats for the Christmas holiday season, you can reach me on Facebook Messenger, or at [email protected]

Happy Birthday Ms. Lynda!

Our long-time dear friend Lynda recently celebrated her birthday and wanted Limoncello cake, of which I was happy to oblige!

Limoncello is an Italian liqueur made of vodka & lemons. (Special thanks to my sweet friend Judi for bringing me a bottle from her recent trip to Italy!) The cake has limoncello, lemon juice, lemon zest in the batter. The frosting is made from heavy cream, mascarpone and lemon curd (notice a lemon theme?), then topped with white chocolate shavings.

I'm totally booked for Thanksgiving, but if you need something before-hand or want to get on my Christmas calendar, please reach out here on Messenger or email me at [email protected]

Blessings ~~~~ Mona

Just a note - it's only the end of September, but I'm TOTALLY booked up for Thanksgiving baking, but still have plenty of dates available for Christmas and New Year's celebrations.

Happy Start to the Week,

Today I delivered a Caramel Cake to my friend Pat for her sister's birthday celebration. There are many variations of caramel cake, and this one has a cream cheese caramel frosting with a homemade caramel sauce between each layer, and then the caramel sauce drizzled all over the top. You definitely know it's a Caramel Cake!

For any cakes and sweet treats for special occasions (or just anytime 😂), you can contact me here on Facebook Messenger, or [email protected] Blessings~~~ Mona
