Back in the swing of things...

Well, after taking some time off from cakes to attend classes at Saint Rose, I am getting back in the game and taking cake orders.

I started working at Yanni's Too Casual Dining Restaurant in Coeymans, New York, right on the Hudson River in May of this year and have recently started making desserts for them. It is such a rush to have people order things that I have made! And they like them!

Just a couple weeks ago I made a cake for a birthday reservation of 11, a Grand Marnier Chocolate Cake with a chocolate mousse filling and chocolate frosting. It was fantastic! And the customer thought so as well! It is so nice to be able to sell something that I made and have the instant knowledge and feedback of how they liked it. I'm trying to get more creative with my desserts for the restaurant on the regular menu though, so if anyone has any ideas they think I should try, I am totally open to them!

So stop down to Yanni's Too and check out the awesome food and scrumptious desserts!!

Done for now...

Well, it has been quite the summer. Very busy every weekend with both cakes and events and other such stuff and it has finally all come to an end. School starts in one week =( but it somehow feels like a relief because I'll finally have some time to relax.

I'll be taking a break from cakes for a few weeks - just to figure out how classes are going to go. This past weekend was a rough one with all of the rain and a bit of a slip, trip and fall during delivery. Not exactly a fairy tale ending to a summer of cakes.

But you will be seeing more pictures of stuff that I'll be working on in the coming weeks. I plan to try to make a sort of decorating brownie cookie, maybe something with mini cakes and cupcakes, and cookies too. Anyone with anything else they'd like me to try - I'm up for recommendations.

Finally...a web site!

So here it is...I've finally gotten around to putting pictures of all my cakes in one place that everyone can get to. 


For those of you who don't know me, my name is Samantha Sofologis, and I am a graduate of Schenectady County Community College with an Associates in Occupational Sciences degree in Culinary Arts with a concentration in Baking and Pastry Arts. 


Please use this page to contact me about ordering any cakes, cupcakes, pies, or other desserts. In the coming days, (well, probably weeks) I will be posting starting prices for a variety of items as well as a calendar with dates that I am able and unable to make any cakes. 


Please note: all items are made in my home and are made from scratch.
