Little Cake House GR
Little Cake House is a humble cake shop, where every cake is designed and made-from-scratch in my little home. I specialize in various buttercream techniques, including but not limited to buttercream flowers, wafer flowers, and modern designs. I desire to make detailed, one-of-a-kind, personalized cakes that are flawlessly executed and taste amazing.
What would you say to a couple just getting started in the wedding planning process?
Although wedding planning can be a crazy whirlwind of appointments and decisions, take time to reflect on your relationship (where it was and where it will go), and the roar of planning will subside. That, and eat as much cake as possible!
What is your favorite part of events?
I love arriving at a venue to set up a cake display. There's something about seeing how a humble dessert can radiate a bride/groom's personality on their special day.
What do you love most about your work?
I love giving a cake away to an unexpected client. Sometimes people just need a free cake.
Love’s Ice Cream & Chocolates
We make worthy treats for every. body. Meticulously from scratch with intentionally sourced ingredients. Ice cream, dairy-free gelato, low net carb gelato, and fine chocolate confectionery.
What do you love most about your work?
The blending of two passions: well-sourced food and creative art. My work is validated by the joy and delight that our customers experience when having or giving our treats.
How did you get started in this industry?
Having a music, art, and tech background I turned my curiosity toward food and decided it was intriguing and important enough to devote much of my life to it. I sold my web development company, went to culinary school, and launched Love's.
Where do you find inspiration?
I am inspired by the vast array of flavors, colors, textures, and nutrition available from the ingredients the earth offers us. I'm inspired by the flaws in our food system to offer minimally processed, exquisite but approachable treats.

Wildwood Cake Studio
I began working in bakeries many years ago while attending The Secchia Institute for Culinary Education in Grand Rapids. Cake decorating immediately felt natural to me, and I have been at it ever since! I love using cake design as a creative outlet, and I particularly enjoy working with designs that revolve around natural elements as the highlight .At Wildwood Cake Studio, I understand that your wedding day is a special milestone and I believe your cake should be just as unique as your love story. Your cake will be meticulously designed and crafted to reflect your personal style, whether you prefer a classic and elegant design or a modern and whimsical creation. I find such joy in working closely with each couple to bring their vision to life, ensuring that every sweet detail is perfect for their big day, and creating one-of-a-kind cakes that taste as delicious as they look.
Favorite Wedding trend at the moment?
In one word, personalization! It's so much fun to see all of the creative ways couples are leaning in the direction of intentional details that make their wedding day unique. The incorporation of lots of color, bold wardrobes, funky florals, and meaningful decor can add so much to an event. I love walking into a venue and immediately getting a sense of the couple's personality. Also, cake meadows of course!
Coffee or Cocktails? and what is your go to order?
I'm a coffee girl through and through. These days, my go to is a classic cappuccino!
