Sweet Moments Dessert Company - Riverside Wedding Cake

After my first daughter was born, I entered my baking in local contests, just for fun. I won three first place prizes for my pies in Napa, 2 from a 4th of July Pie contest and one from a competion they had at the Friday Chef's Market.. At the 2005, L.A. County Fair I won first place for my apple cake and biscuits and second place for my apple pie and Mexican wedding cookies. In 2006, I entered a competition for tamales which I had just learned how to make. I won second place for my goat cheese and portabella mushroom tamales. I will have to work on getting that big blue ribbon.

I remember how excited and honored I was when a friend came to me to make her wedding cake. I had never made a large cake like that before but she trusted me because she had eaten my cakes for years and knew they ranked up there with the fancy bakeries in Napa. She found a picture of a cake with sugar paste roses all over it. I didn't even know what sugar paste was let alone how to hand craft roses out of the stuff!! I built over 38 sugar paste roses petal by petal. That cake, pictured below, turned out exactly like the picture and tons of people came up to me and told me it was the best wedding cake they had ever tasted!!

The catalyst for this website and then my business is actually pretty funny. A friend called and asked me to make her some cookies and send them to her. I thought it was a little strange given she lives in Milwaukee. Well, she's a urologist so, for now, use your imagination. I set about this project a little embarrassed about what I was creating. But they turned out awesome. They were a HUGE hit. Everyone thought they would make the perfect Bachelorette Party Favor. So I thought I could make a business of selling them online, hence the website.

So after all these years I am turning my passion and my talent into something that will help out my family. To me...it does not get any better than working at something you truly love and enjoy. I am pleased and excited to offer my services to you through my very own business, Sweet Moments Dessert Company offering delicious custom cakes from my heart to your table. I'm located in Corona, California and if live here or are planning a special event in any of the surrounding areas of the Riverside, Inland Empire or Southern California, I would love to make something special for Your Sweet Moment...
