Welcome to Bklyn Bakes!

Welcome to Bklyn Bakes! I'm Randi, your hostess and baker! I've been baking since I could stand, and I was trained by the master chef herself, my mamaw (that's grandmother for those of you who grew up above the Mason Dixon Line). I figured it was time to spread the love around this big city!

Here's our current menu. I'm open to meeting your various baking needs, though, so feel free to email me at randiskaggs@gmail.com and tell me what you're thinking!

I'd be happy to speak to you if you have a different baked good in mind. I'm polishing my skills as a decorator and love trying to mimic the work of the Ace of Cakes guys, to the best of my ability.

I promise I'll post some pictures of my work soon!

The Carefree Carrot Cake

Carrot Cake: My mom would say it's good for you, because it's packed with carrots and ginger.

Cutting the cake.

A little slice of heaven.


It seems that life has been a bit challenging for most everyone I know lately. Job problems. Relationship issues. Apartment/house catastrophes. NCAA brackets getting screwed up.

When my dear friend, Julie, asked me to bake her a deluxe, no-holds-barred, brimming with golden raisins and walnuts carrot cake, I almost said no. I'd been stressed out lately, and I didn't want to add to that.

Thankfully, I came to my senses, because not only was the cake so delicious that it melted my worries away for a while, but Julie's party was also lively and filled with warm, interesting people. It was a delicious evening all around.

And it was held at a 100% organic and green restaurant, Gustorganics. The food was scrumptious and thoughtful, and reminded me that I want to continue moving further in that direction for me and my family. And yes, that includes cakes.

  1. That cake was fantastic, and I don't even LIKE carrot cake. Or at least I thought I didn't like carrot cake!
