Shallotte

Crumb de la Crumb
available by appointment, (910) 616-0447

Lorie Burcham, owner of Crumb de la Crumb, grew up in the restaurant business so her foray into cake baking and decorating came naturally to her. But make no mistake, she trained under Colette Peters, a renowned Chicago cake decorator. She considers herself a cake artist, as there are things like painting with food colors, using an airbrush and adding sparkle dust involved in the process of creation. Lorie says she can do anything you want. She recently did cake that looks like a sports car (requested by the groom). She also offers organic cakes and gluten-free cakes for people with food allergies. She enjoys making beautifully decorated, traditional-style cakes as well as the whimsical cakes that are so popular now. RP 05-30-08

Calabash

Sugar Confections
Calabash
(910) 575-2663

Monique Holenko, owner of Sugar Confections, makes custom cakes, cookies and confectionery treats for residential, retail and wholesale customers. Using only the finest ingredients and no preservatives, Monique makes your cake a day or two prior to your wedding, ensuring freshness and quality. Because she bakes a limited number of cakes per week, she suggests that you reserve your date three to six months before the wedding. You can schedule a private consultation at which you can sample cake flavors and browse design selections or share photos of cakes you like to help in your design decisions. You may want to consider edible favors as well. Using fondant, frosting or a photo printing system, Monique can match your cake to your invitations, your wedding gown, your bridesmaids dresses and/or your flowers. Monique believes that your cake should be affordable and taste as scrumptious as it looks.RP 05-30-08
