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!

First Order: German Chocolate Cake

The finished product!

A yummy slice!

Here's a confession: I don't like German chocolate cake. So when my first order from my dear friend Julie happened to be a German chocolate cake, I almost panicked. Not only would I be attempting a new cake, I'd be baking that cake for one of the best chefs I know. The pressure was high.

But I took some deep breaths and gave it try. And I soon found that a German chocolate cake is much like any other cake I bake, so I had a blast.

Oh, and I added it to the menu! It's a bit pricier due to the coconut and pecans, but let me just say, I think it's worth it.
