Kaieteur News – Having a birthday cake is an important part of a birthday celebration. What better way to celebrate than with a perfectly designed and delicious cake.

Emerging to the top are trendy cakes and below are some of my recommendations for finding the most stylish and tasty cakes.

(These businesses were previously featured in Kaieteur News’ weekly magazine ‘The Waterfalls’.)

Tiffy’s Cakes and Catering: ‘Always delicious; always affordable’ 

Her love for food and passion for cooking is what inspired 31-year-old, Tiffany Payne DeCosta, to open her own catering business.

During an interview with ‘The Waterfalls’, DeCosta shared that it was in 2018 that she launched her business officially: ‘Tiffy’s Cakes and Catering.’

According to the young business owner, cake-making started off as a hobby, before she quickly realized that she could do more. DeCosta stated that she started a cake decorating course to perfect that skill and the idea to start her own business germinated.

DeCosta’s business now offers finger foods, entrees, desserts and cakes for all occasions. She shared that her best sellers are her cakes.

To contact Tiffany, you can visit her Facebook page @Tiffy’s Cakes and Catering or WhatsApp/Call (592) 684-8650, to place your order.

Sweet Confections: Official cheesecake stop

Satisfy your sweet tooth with a delicious cheesecake from ‘Sweet Confections.’ Choose from a variety of toppings such as strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, kiwi, passion fruit, Oreo or indulge in their renowned death-by-chocolate cheesecake.

While speaking with the owner of the business, 27-year-old Ronetta Alexis Austin, she shared that she began baking for her family and close friends in July 2019, and later launched her business officially.

Moffett’s Sweet Treats: Dessert Heaven

After much encouragement and great reviews from first her family members, and then co-workers, 31-year-old Jilesa Lewis was able to launch her business “Moffett’s Sweet Treats” back in April of 2018.

Try any of their scrumptious cheesecakes, cookies or cupcakes. From starting off with just baking cakes and cupcakes, Lewis now has over 20 sugary-treats and pastries on her menu.  There are such delights as cheesecake, brownies, cookies, chocolate covered strawberries, and éclairs, just to name a few.

The business is located in Nismes, on the West Bank Demerara, which is about a 5-10-minute drive from the Demerara Harbour Bridge. They also offer free delivery to customers in Central Georgetown on weekdays.

Whipped: Savour the Moments, not the Calories

Living out her childhood dreams, 28-year-old Christina Rodrigues is whipping it up in the kitchen with her cake and pastry business, ‘Whipped.’

While speaking with ‘The Waterfalls’, Rodrigues shared that ever since she was a child, she wanted to be the owner of a bakery.

The business officially started in 2020, but went public in March 2021, and is co-owned by 30-year-old Alridge Thomas.

Whipped offers: cheesecakes (baked and no baked), banana bread gluten and gluten free, cupcakes, a variety of cakes, brownies; sugar cookies, and pastries.
