About

Patty Ames was in her high school home economics class when she found her passion. "I was hooked," she says. Since then, the self-taught cake baker has studied under the cake decorators behind Princess Diana's wedding cake, won multiple awards, and built a business that has been going strong for 30 years. When asked what makes her cakes unique, Ames credits Terry Ames, her late husband and the man behind some of her favorite recipes. Together they created one of their most popular wedding cakes: Amaretto Cake with Pineapple filling and Raspberry Irish Cream Cake with Raspberry filling. So, it was definitely made with love.

For the bedazzled decorations Ames is known for, she credits a bride who suggested she use a rhinestone trim. "It changed the trajectory of my decorating style," Ames recalls. "From that cake, my tagline became If bling is your thing, give Cake Designers a ring!"
