In 2014, Tim and Amy Lewis of Gonzales, La., merged the farm-to-table movement’s focus on fresh ingredients with the culinary arts’ emphasis on creativity to form Show Cakes, a line of fresh baked goods, including custom cakes and cupcakes.

Today, their detailed decorating, whether on full-sized wedding cakes or miniature cupcakes, is what sets Show Cakes apart. One-of-a-kind desserts for parties, showers, teacher appreciation day, and other celebrations has become their local signature.

Show Cakes also specialize in “cupcake in a jar” treats, which combine two cupcakes with cream and flavored icing between. For example, the spoon-worthy Praline Cupcakes in a Jar contain two yellow cupcakes separated by praline cream cheese and praline sauce in a mason jar. And they appeal to various dietary restrictions. Apple Crisp Cupcakes in a Jar, for example, are gluten-free.

Stop in today to see the creativity in the vast array of sweet treats from these local bakers – or to custom order your own.
