Sweet Ash Cakes

5/29/2013

As a baker who prides herself on the old fashioned taste, I found Sweet Ash Cakes to taste similar to mine if not better.  The cakes are moist like they just came out the oven and are baked with natural ingredients- no short cuts.  I've had two cakes made by Ashley and Chanel to celebrate a birthday and a graduation.  I will share the pictures with you so you can also see the great work!

Meet the founder of Sweet Ash Cakes

I have been in the kitchen baking since the tender age of seven. My grandmother showed me how to whip up a five flavor pound cake from scratch, and I have taken what she has shown me and expanded upon it. I enjoy baking! My most favorite part of the process is the creative design that goes into the cakes and cupakes when they come out of the oven. I love transforming the baked goods into mini works of art.


More about the business

Sweet Ash Cakes is an online bakery based in Washington, DC and named after its founder, Ashley Johnson.  Ashley and her sister Chanel Sutton work close to create magnificent pieces of edible art.  If you can name it, dream it, or describe it, then Ashley and Chanel can design it and make it delicious.   Skilled at working with fondant and modeling chocolate are some of their specialties. If you are not in the market for a themed cake and instead are searching for something simple, they also specialize in baking pound cakes and simple layer cakes.

What do you think makes a cake good?

They look great but how is the taste? I love the pretty cakes that others do but they do not look like they would have the correct taste since they are more show pieces or am I wrong? I like the traditional icing. Thanks for sharing.

I think frosting makes cake good. Just the right amount, though. Too much makes me feel icky. These are beautiful creations and look like they have just the right amount of frosting!

I love to bake, too. A good cake not only has a great frosting (which is essential) but the cake is not too moist that it falls apart when decorated (which happens to box cakes). These are beautiful. I don't have the patience to decorate like these!

The first thing we notice about anything is how it looks. Cakes are no exception. I am more likely to taste a cake that looks good, however, the bottom line for me would be taste!

Those cakes are absolutely beautiful and look like they taste great! I love it when cakes are moist and just melt in your mouth. My mom used to make potato pudding back home in Jamaica (It's not like what we call pudding here in the US). I sure miss that!

A good moist light cake. Working with gluten free flours these days so light seems to be not an option but am finding some lovely moist ones.

Mmmm, those look so yummy. I love baking too :) Lots of people can make good LOOKING cakes, but it really is hard to fine ones that are so moist and the frosting is perfect :) (I think my mom makes the best, but I'm partial, haha)
