In Our Own Backyard

I wonder if DeClare Cakes is the best kept secret on Daniel Island. We discovered them happily on my hubby’s birthday with the ring of the doorbell. What a delicious surprise was found beautifully enclosed in the perfect little box wrapped with a bow! Nothing generic there!

DeClare Cakes is operated by two local women out of an amazing professional kitchen found in a FROG at 9014 Merchant Street. Yes, I mean LOCAL!

Aside from the deliciousness they produce, they have a wonderful back story. Owner and master baker Deb, learned to bake from scratch from her mother-in-law over 35 years ago when mom-in-law (basically) said a Duncan Hines mix birthday cake would not do for her son! I love that! After following her passion of creating a high-end cake designing business (while raising her kids) Deb finally went on to earn her Baking & Pastry Certificate. Then she taught her daughter-in-law how to bake cakes from scratch (do we sense a theme here), and DeClare Cakes was born on Daniel Island in 2009. They specialize in wedding cakes but in addition, I think they do it all.

To learn more about Deb and her daughter-in-law, Alison you can visit them at  DeClare Cakes for lots of yummy goodness. Their site is beautiful and will make you want to schedule a tasting and/or order a cake!
