DRIPPING SPRINGS BABBLE: DRIPPING BUSINESS: MADE BY MOMMY

DRIPPING BUSINESS: MADE BY MOMMY

There are some people who just exude kindness, and Lori Hendricks and her husband Dan, owners of Classic Cakes by Lori here in Dripping, are just those sorts of people. We have lots more to say about their magical cakes — if you've never seen Lori's award-winning cakes, think "Ace of Cakes" (without the tattoos) — but when we recently dropped by their shop for a visit, Lori made a point to draw our attention to a display of "Baby Cakes" — which she and Dan don't make. Rather, these "cakes" are made by a local mom and are actually new baby gifts made from diapers, clothing and other baby items swirled, twirled and fashioned to look like colorful, decorated cakes. Even the happily childless among us had to admit they are pretty darn cute, and would steal the show at any baby shower (which is what it's really all about in our book).

The "Made By Mommy" creations require just 2 days advance notice and they can be made to coordinate with baby themes and color schemes. Pricing varies with budgets and depends on the items "baked" into the cake, as well as the cake's flourishes.
