Meet Micki + The Petite Cakery
My interest in baking was sparked as a child when my mom would let me and my sister each pick out our dream birthday cake from that year's Wilton cake catalog. She would then re-create each of our dream cakes, a tradition I took on when my own children were born. I would spend as much time as it took to design the PERFECT birthday cake for each of them. A ladybug cake to match my daughter's bug themed bedroom decorations, a cake that matched my son's favorite blue doggie stuffed animal, a 3-D cake that looked like Nemo from Finding Nemo; you name it, I tried it. And I LOVED it!
Fast forward several years of their birthdays to 2016, and my sister asked me if I could make a Rose Cake for her first daughter's blessing;a Rose Cake is one covered (and I mean covered!) in buttercream roses. I had never made a Rose Cake before, but after one look at an image of what she wanted, I thought "sure, I can give that a go". I made that Rose Cake (along with my first from-scratch-cake), and it not only turned out beautifully, but it tasted delicious. Someone at that blessing party was soon getting married and asked if I could make their wedding cake, and the spark that started as a child was ignited! The Petite Cakery was born.
The intent of The Petite Cakery is to create lasting memories through delicious cakes & cupcakes. My baked goods are each made to order and are perfect in every way - phenomenal flavor combinations, beautiful and moist. And most importantly - every item made at The Petite Cakery tells a story, because everything is designed with each individual customer's needs in mind.When customers have something particular in mind, I can create custom flavors or custom designs to specifically meet their requests. One special custom flavor order was designed to match a customer's sister-in-law's favorite cake - Cassata cake, which is an Italian traditional sponge cake. And one of my favorite custom designs was a first birthday smash cake in the shape of a baby owl, with a matching owl-themed tiered cake for the guests. It's important to me to be attuned to the needs of the community, so in addition to baked items made with Classic Flour, I also have Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Keto and Refined Sugar free offerings.
I'm also energized by partnering with local businesses for fun events such as Cupcake & Beer Pairings, which have offered a great opportunity to see how others do things, to learn from them and to, most importantly, connect. The Petite Cakery is a small woman-owned bakery in Lakewood CO, specializing in delicious cakes & cupcakes which are designed to create lasting memories for any gathering. Keep an eye out for The Petite Cakery at some upcoming Colorado events, including a booth at this summer's Downtown Lakewood Street Food Social, a June feature on "Local Biz Buzz" and some pop-ups that are in the works.
