Custom Cakes by Adele

A Life Update from Mike and Adele...

Hi Everyone,

We hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the fall! We wanted to touch base here for a couple of reasons:

1) To reiterate that Custom Cakes by Adele is permanently CLOSED - as of June 28, 2025, we are no longer in business. (We still receive daily calls and emails for cake orders so we wanted to post it again for those who missed the announcement.)

2) To share a quick update on our family since we had announced that health issues were the reason we closed.

Adele and I had been struggling with health issues due to extreme stress, and after I had a serious health scare, we decided to make some life changes that included closing the bakery. What we did not share at the time was that Adele's mom, Carol, had just been given a terminal cancer diagnosis. This was the straw (more like the branch) that broke the camel's back. Fortunately, we learned a few weeks later that the doctors who told us, "We are 99.9% sure it is pancreatic cancer", were in fact, wrong. After more testing, we were told it was a type of lymphoma and that it was treatable. We are happy to announce that after 6 months of chemo, side effects, infections, multiple ER trips, and hospital stays, her scans show that she is now cancer free. We are so very grateful!

Since Adele and I were not quite ready for retirement, we started another business - one that involves less stress and more flexibility. We started an eBay store called "Rangers Relics". Our furry, golden boy Ranger is the store keeper. If you regularly shop on eBay; or, if you're just interested in seeing what we have, you can find our store here: https://www.ebay.com/str/rangerzrelics. Give us a follow!

Thank you to all who have stayed in touch and checked in on us. We wish you all good health and a happy holiday season, which is coming up fast!

God Bless!
Mike, Adele, & Ranger

Hi Everyone,

We just wanted to follow up and let you all know that we were able to make a donation of $170 to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! This amount comes from our very last cupcake and grab & go sale that we held on our last day in business. Thank you so much to all who purchased! We hope you all have a great summer!

Sincerely,
Adele & Mike

A note from Mike and Adele....

Yesterday was emotional day... we were so shocked to have a line outside of our door at 7 a.m., and even more shocked to sell out in 15 minutes! Several customers and friends drove a long way just to say to goodbye to us. Seeing all the familiar faces and reminiscing about all the fun cakes we've made for so many of you.... it was THE BEST "last day" possible. THANK YOU for that! And thank you to everyone who supported our small business over the years. We have 11 years of some wonderful memories, and we are so honored to have been a part of so many of your special celebrations.

Now for some good news..... our very talented decorator, Katie, has purchased our recipes and much of our equipment, as she is in the planning stages of opening her own bakery! So for those who were asking for certain recipes, we cannot sell or share them; HOWEVER, they WILL be making a return! All of our recipes were either created by Adele or passed down in her family, and all of our cakes were made from scratch. We are so happy that this part of our business will continue on through Katie!

Our website will be taken down shortly, but our page will STAY. Please keep following us, and we'll keep you posted on Katie's progress!

We also would like to thank our loyal employees: Jenn has cleaned and washed way too many dishes for us in the past 8 years! Kyla has also washed her share of dishes and helped us with our social media pages. Katie and Libby have decorated hundreds of beautiful cakes and kept us organized and on track. They also worked very hard these past few months to keep the business going while both of us had to step away. We are so grateful for their dedication and loyalty and for staying on until the very end!

We are so excited to start the next phase of our lives. We wish everyone the best! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Sincerely,
Mike and Adele
