For anyone who is currently living in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Please email me with your custom cake (or cupcake) order for birthdays, luncheons and every occasion in between. Ideally, I would like to have 7 days notice to make sure I have the needed ingredients for your order and my calendar fills up quickly!. Don't fret, if it's a last minute situation, I can do usually make it work! At a minimum, I need two days notice for regular cakes and 4 days for ice cream cakes.

I can accommodate almost any kind of cake you are interested in ordering. If you aren't sure what type of cake would work best for your occasion, I would be more than happy to make suggestions or choose for you.
