Cakes by Candy is open for business!

On Tuesday, December 30, 2008, Cakes by Candy had an official ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Dumas Chamber of Commerce. Representatives from several Dumas businesses were present, and wished Candy great success with her new store.

In addition to area businessmen and women, several of Candy’s long-time friends and customers were in attendance.

One of the few times you'll see these two without Red Hats on!

After a brief introduction by the Chamber of Commerce, Candy thanked the Chamber, and all her friends and customers who have helped her make the transition to the new location.

Candy and the "After 5" Crew

Candy’s “after 5″ crew, Cherie Coaly, and Jennifer Winegarner, were there to help open the store. They have been instrumental in getting the store ready for the official opening today.

Now that the store is open, it’s time to get to work! Come on by and see what Cakes by Candy can make for you for your own special occasion! Candy specializes in decorated cakes and cookies, but offers much, much more!

I am proud to announce that Cakes by Candy is open for business! After 22 years serving Dumas and the Texas panhandle (and beyond!), I have a new location on 7th Street in Dumas. As always, you can count on the highest quality cakes, cookies, and tasty treats for any and all occasions. Feel free to browse around the website. You’ll find pictures of my creations, and here on this main page, I will occasionally post a new creation, and perhaps tell a story or two while I’m at it!

My first dollar, from my good friend Lesi

On Tuesday, December 30, I will be having a ribbon-cutting ceremony to give the business an official start, even though the kitchen has been churning out cakes and cookies for a week already. You just can’t keep a good baker down! As a matter-of-fact, my good friends and regular customers have been calling and ordering so many cakes and cookies, I had to push my vacation back a day just to fit everyone in!
