About Cakelani

From Publix to Passion

Cakelani first began when a position in the Publix bakery opened up. Keila couldn't wait to join the team with cake decorating in mind. It was something she thought "would be fun to learn." The rest is history.

She worked there for two years, honing her skills and learning the ins and outs of running a bakery. She made cakes at home, even took her talents to Oregon for a year before moving back home to Rochester, NY.

When COVID hit, Keila, like many of us, was furloughed. To make money, she began making cake cups and taking orders. Sales took off. Despite the pandemic, people were still ordering smaller cakes. After much success and exposure in Rochester, Keila faced the question: "Do I pursue this full time?"

She was fortunate to work part-time for Heritage Christian Services and give full-time cake making a shot. Today, Keila continues to innovate and create stunning cakes that delight her customers. Her passion for baking shines through in every cake she makes.

xo, Keila ♡
good to know!

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! Almost all cakes that are made with fondant can be made with buttercream instead and still look just as good. There may be some fondant or gum paste depending on decoration, since not all decoration can be made with buttercream and still have the same look and feel. If buttercream wouldn't be recommended for a specific design, I'll definitely let you know so you can make that choice.
Each tier is made with four or more layers, depending on the amount of servings needed.
I prefer to make cakes the same day of the event, however if scheduling is a problem I always suggest making the cake the day before and keeping it refrigerated until the time of your event. I've had customers pick up two days early and report that the cake looked and tasted just as fresh as same-day pickups.
If your cake is iced with whipped cream, it needs to stay refrigerated and cold. With buttercream you have a little more flexibility. I always recommend refrigeration until event time. Avoid direct sunlight, and if it feels stuffy or hot at your event, check on the cake periodically. If you keep it refrigerated, take the cake out at least 40 minutes before serving so the buttercream can soften up.
I recommend YouTubing "best ways to cut a cake." There are several videos that show easy techniques to maximize servings. Remember to give small slices. A lot of people don't eat much cake and will throw a lot of it away if you serve too much.
Most or all of the items on your cake will be edible. If anything is not, we'll let you know to avoid any confusion.
Cakelani offers cake decorating classes both one-on-one and in group settings for kids and adults (including cake decorating birthday parties). She also offers pop up cake buffets, will travel throughout the states for your event, does wholesale in local establishments, and has an upcoming online cake supply shop.
