ABOUT
KEISHA GAINES
FOUNDER / CEO | PROFESSIONAL CAKE ARTIST
OPERATING FOR OVER A DECADE | INSURED | CERTIFIED FOOD SAFETY MANAGER
We are a home-based business located in Boynton Beach, FL. Our mission is to put smiles on faces by creating quality cakes that taste yummy and are to the clients specifications or custom design. We strive for professional, friendly, and helpful service with each client. My clients say the cakes look too good to eat and though it does bring joy to my heart to hear that, please dig in...they taste even better than they look!
The start of this business actually happened unintentionally. I took a cake decorating class at Michael's and began posting my cake projects on Facebook. As my work improved, I began receiving messages that my friends wanted to buy some, and it was then I realized that I could have a business selling custom cakes. At that time, I was working full-time as a video editor by day and working on cakes at night. I felt a tug that I should try to do this full-time, so with lots of prayer and my husband on board, I left my editing job to focus on my business. It was the hardest thing I think I've ever done, but I had to take a leap of faith and just do it. One of the best decisions yet.
I absolutely love what I do! I will continue to grow my business and hopefully inspire more people to follow their dreams. I am A CHRIST follower and God has blessed me with this talent and I plan on using it to glorify him.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
ERICA M.
We reached out to Keisha for a custom cake we wanted to create for a video shoot. Not only was she very responsive and friendly, but the cake was everything we hoped for and more! We showed her a photo and told her what we were looking for, and she created the perfect cake. We even asked her to fill it with rainbow sprinkles for drama, and the cutting looked so good on video. Just beautiful! Highly recommend!
EMMA S.
The cake I received was better than I could have ever imagined! Keisha is very creative and the detail she puts into her designs is spectacular.
It was so beautiful we didn’t want to cut it, but it was just as delicious as it was beautiful! Highly recommend using her for all occasions!
TAMESHA H.
I wanted a garbage truck themed party for my 5 year old and found a picture on Pinterest. Now you know, things made from Pinterest hardly turns out like the picture but this cake exceeded my expectations! It was exactly what I wanted plus more- Keisha added her own special detail and the actual cake was delicious & moist! I am so pleased! The entire process from start to end was pleasant and Keisha was extremely helpful & accommodating. My family is usually tough critics when it comes to cakes but this one was a hit! She will be making all of our cakes from now on.
