If you're pressed for time, ordering over the phone or online are both available, even though their website is a little hard to navigate. If, however, you are not comfortable making such a culinary commitment without sampling the goods, drop by the store or schedule a tasting. While visiting, the staff was friendly and helpful in answering questions. Plenty of idea books are available as well.

Joyce's Tasty Cakes is also stocked with cake decorations and cake baking supplies. Their shelves are filled with wedding cake toppers, birthday candles and theme trimmings, and helium balloons. Find baking pans, icing tubes, flavors, kits, and all manner of supplies for your inner cake artist. Or, if you're just looking for something sweet to eat on a cold Saturday morning, buy a ready made mini cake for only $7.00. The proof is in the pudding layer.

Perfect for?

Party planners, Wedding planners, anyone who likes cake.
