the owner

Hey there!

I’m Savannah - also known as “Nonnie”

Where does the name come from? It’s simply the name my nieces and nephews started calling me years ago!

Where are you from?

I was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina but have lived Greensboro, Kannapolis, and Salisbury. I moved to Southport back in January 2020 and have loved it here!

Did you go to culinary school?

I actually never went to culinary school! I did get my bachelor’s degree in Entrepreneurship from UNC Greensboro. Who knew that was a thing?!

Not me!

So when did the baking come into play? I worked in 2 bakeries in college - one in Greensboro and one in Salisbury. I learned almost all my baking and decorating in these places.

What did you do before this?

Before this, I worked at State Employees Credit Union as a Senior Financial Services Representative.

What’s your favorite dessert?

Ironically, I’m not a sweets person. Leave the cake, I’ll take chips and salsa or fries! I can smash a bag of chips in one sitting.

If I HAD to pick a dessert, I would choose ice cream or a cookie.

The Floral Wall

The floral wall - or the “La Vie en Rose” wall - has a special significance. The phrase means “life in pink” or “life in rose colored glasses”. As fitting as it is for the shop, this was also a song my dad and I always loved - it was our song! We were incredibly close. He passed away suddenly from COVID in 2021.

This floral wall is dedicated to him and all his endless love and encouragement.

Cakes

All of our cakes are round with 4 layers of cake and 3 layers of icing. They are ​NEVER coated in fondant - instead we coat them in Italian Meringue Buttercream!

Cupcakes & More!

Cupcakes are a great way to feed a crowd! You can create more variety, have ​a great dessert spread, and give your guests the chance to grab what they ​want without taking the time to cut and serve a cake.

We offer regular and mini size cupcakes!

We generally ask that our regular size be ordered in 1 dozen minimum per ​flavor, and our minis be in 2 dozen minimum per flavor.

In our storefront, we usually have a variety of cupcakes, cookies, Rice Crispy ​Treats, mini cakes, cake jars, and other goodies! If you need a last minute ​dessert or just want a variety of a few things, stop by the storefront and pick ​out whatever you like!

We bake our cookies as needed (who doesn’t want a fresh cookie!?) so ​whether you're craving 1 or need a dozen, it’s always best to call ahead so we ​can set them aside for you. Nothing worse than walking in right after “that ​guy” who bought them all!

Overall, we focus on quality over quantity. To ensure freshness, we make ​smaller batches - sometimes, this means if you come later in the day, we ​might be more limited on our goodies. We like to suggest coming earlier in ​the day or calling to reserve and pay for items so you don’t miss out!

How to Place an Order?

The absolute best and preferred way to order anything (not time sensitive) is ​through email. With this, you’re able to talk directly with the owner (AKA the ​only decorator!), both parties have everything in writing, and you’re able to ​send inspiration photos!

Signature Cakes can be ordered in person, over the phone, or through ​email. These cakes have set decoration, so there is less room for ​miscommunication.

If you’re ordering a Custom Cake, we ask that you order via email or ​schedule a consultation (in person or via phone) with Savannah. We always ​want to give you our undivided attention, but being a small business, ​sometimes Savannah is out running errands, doing other consults, or ​finishing up time-sensitive orders. We never want to rush you, so scheduled ​consults are best if you don’t want to email!

If you are placing an order for something time sensitive (ex. cookies for ​same day pickup), you are welcome to call to order! Emails are not always ​monitored throughout the day, so we don’t want to miss something like that!

Details Coming Soon!

We absolutely do weddings!

Don’t have social media?

That’s okay - you can still view photos!

You have questions? We have answers!

What's the best way

to place an order?

Email is the best way to place an order! With so many important details, we try to keep everything in one place so we don't miss anything. If you are unable to email, we recommend calling to set up an in-person consultation.

Can I just DM or

Facebook message you?

Because these platforms aren’t monitored throughout the day, messages can easily be missed. Email is the best way to place an order; calling is best for any quick questions!

I need a cake! Is it too late to order?

Generally, 2+ weeks notice will secure your date, but we always encourage you to inquire regardless of the timeframe because if we can do it, we absolutely will! Unfortunately, we just cannot promise anything without a 2+ week notice.

Do you make sheet cakes?

No, we do not make sheet cakes. All of our cakes are round. BUT that doesn’t mean we can’t feed your crew! We have lots of ideas on how to make the most of your desserts. Send us an email with any details you have, and we can help you figure out the best course of action!

Do you have a storefront open to the public? Do you have things for purchase?

Yes! We do have a storefront. We have cupcakes, cookies, and other delicious goodies that you are welcome to walk-in and purchase. Most of the time, we do not have cakes regularly in stock. Cakes are generally custom ordered (unless it’s a holiday and we have some pre-decorated ones).

Do you make wedding cakes?

We do make wedding cakes! Check out our wedding section of the website for more information, or feel free to email us!

Are your cakes coated

in fondant?

Big NOPE! All of our cakes are 4 layers of cake, ​3 layers of icing, and are coated in a silky, ​smooth Italian Meringue Buttercream. We may ​occasionally use fondant for decoration, but we ​never coat the entire cake in fondant.

Do you make allergen-free ​desserts?

Yes, we can! We can make gluten free, vegan, ​egg free, dairy free, nut free, etc. cakes and ​cupcakes in most flavors. While we do our best ​to avoid cross contamination, we are NOT an ​allergen-free bakery; therefore, we cannot ​guarantee zero cross contamination. For severe ​allergies, we suggest finding an allerge-free ​bakery.

Why do I have to email to order a custom cake? Why ​can’t you just talk to me in person?

Email is our preferred method of ordering custom cakes because it gives you the opportunity ​to talk directly with the baker/decorator, keeps everything in writing, and gives you the ​opportunity to send photos of your vision!

If you prefer to come in person, that is completely fine; however, we do ask that you schedule ​an appointment to ensure we can give you our undivided attention. Because the owner is also ​the baker and only decorator, sometimes she is unable to chat due to other scheduled ​consultations, errands, or time sensitive orders. We never want you to feel rushed, so ​scheduling a consult ensures as much time as you need!

**consults are NOT required in general - we just ask for a consult if you prefer not to email**
