Custom Cakes for any Occasion -- Serving the NY Tri-State Area Hello! I'm Maria, aka Glyka Bake Shop! I've been decorating cakes for about 10 years.

Since I work alone, I never take on more orders than I can handle so that I can devote all the time and attention necessary to making your custom cake as special as can be.

Π Day! Made three pies yesterday to celebrate Pi Day with the kiddos 📏📐✏️ The lemon cream and brownie pies went to school with my two junior high schoolers and the apple pie was enjoyed here at home since my kindergartener wanted in on the pie action.

Used King Arthur’s pie crust recipe for all three and I think it’s the best recipe for pie crust I’ve ever made. Try it! https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/classic-double-pie-crust-recipe

40th birthday cake for a fan of football and stocks. Green and gray colors worked for elements of both themes from the football field, to the Manhattan skyline and Wall Street street sign. Stock charts and coordinating stripes on the top tier, finish the cake off. Inside, the cake was a vanilla sponge layered with a whiskey caramel and alternating layers of vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream and whiskey caramel Swiss meringue buttercream.

I just came across some photos of this simple but sweet cake in my photo library and realized I never posted them! It's actually been about a year since I made the cake for a really sweet bride and her bridal shower. About time I posted it, right? Two tiers (6" and 8") topped with a pair of apples I made by modeling Rice Krispies Treats and covering in fondant.

My girl wanted to make sugar cookies all on her own. So, the other night she made the dough, rolled it out, cut her shapes and baked her cookies. The next day she used the same cutters to cut thinly rolled fondant and decorate her cookie shapes. Candy canes, Christmas Trees, Ornaments and Snowflakes all on her own.

Hope everyone has a blessed and merry Christmas! Peace, love, health and happiness to all
