Macy Cakes

Virginia's Birthday Cake with a "cat" theme.

I first met Macy when she bought a bookcase we had listed on Craig's list.  I didn't know until we became FB friends that she was a cake maker extraordinaire. It was then I saw posts of her beautiful cakes, and recently I had her make a birthday cake for our friend Virginia.  The cake was beautiful and delicious.

Moist and absolutely delicious.

Here are some of her creations:

A 50th wedding anniversary cake.

A beautiful wedding cake.

A Blessing of the Animals Cake at White Memorial Presbyterian Church.

A House Divided Groom's Cake.

A Baby Shower Cake.

A Chemistry Themed Birthday Cake.

I was so impressed with this chemistry themed cake for a youngster's 7th birthday.  Glad to see a young boy interested in chemistry at that age.  And I love the H2O in Thomas' name.


You can check out more of her creations at her blog:  Macy Cakes

You can bet the next time I need a special cake, I will call Macy.

Gelato in Chapel Hill, NC

Sugarland store front on Franklin Street.

Helen and I were in Chapel Hill the other day having lunch at the Crossroads Restaurant in the Carolina Inn.  After lunch we walked down to Franklin Street and the Sugerland Bakery.  In addition to cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts,  Sugarland makes real authentic Italian gelato.  I became addicted to gelato in Italy, and I was hankering for some for dessert. 

Gelato at Sugarland.

Sugarland makes a variety of flavors of gelato.  I think this was peach.

Sugarland's cupcakes are said to be the best in the Triangle.

Wedding cake.

They make cakes for all occasions, especially wedding cakes.

Black and white cake.

One of my favorite designs they have on display is the intricately decorated black and white cake which would cost around $700. for this size and decorated in so much detail.

Mosaic at entrance to the bakery.

It's worth a trip to Sugarland just to see the beautiful mosaic at the entrance to the bakery.  And of course, you couldn't pass up a cup or cone of their wonderful gelato.
