When I was a young girl, I used to sit in my Grandma's kitchen and listen to her hum Gospel music as she baked. As I smelled the yeast in the rising breads, and the cinnamon and butter in the pies, I would be filled with a warm feeling of peace, contentment and love.

Today, I use these same recipes and methods taught to me as a child. I pour this same love into every dessert, along with only the finest natural ingredients, just like my grandmother did for over 70 years. Since every dessert is custom baked, no preservatives, additives or animal by-products are ever used.

At Grandma’s Secrets, we offer finger treats, fruit pies and cobblers, chocolate cakes to die for, creamy cheesecakes, special occasion cakes ranging from birthdays to baby showers and everything in between, and for those with special considerations, both diabetic desserts and vegetarian cakes. We provide our bridal customers with consultations and sample cakes, and offer a variety of themes, from traditional to afrocentric, with all prices including delivery and set-up. For your special occassions, let our professional and courteous staff of cake artists turn your cake concepts into realities.
