Q:
Can I pick the flavor of cake to correspond with any filling?
A:
Unfortunately, No. Cathy adheres to her time tested 30 Arizona Culinary Hall Of Fame recipes of flavors for her cakes.
She has tried all kinds of combinations, like chocolate cake with vanilla rum custard, but found this type of arrangement
becomes very acidic, or chocolate cake will turn the fruit an unappealing color. Cathy stays with the recipes that she knows
will bring you enjoyment.
Cathy uses only a light, Italian Whipped
Cream. Any other icing would be too heavy and tear apart the cake.
Q: Does Cathy
use Peanut Oil or Peanut Product in her Cakes?
A:
Yes. From the Cream, Custard and Cake there is some form of Peanut Product.
Q:
Does Cathy make a sugar-free or gluten-free cake?
A:
No. We are sensitive to our client’s allergies and medical concern, and that is why we are upfront about this issue.
We want our customers to have a great experience with our cakes.

just come in and pick up a cake?
A: Absolutely,
all day long and it only takes 5 minutes to decorate.

Q:
Why did you close the Store in Scottsdale?
A: Let Cathy answer in her own words:
"I want
to thank all my clients who supported my Scottsdale location for the past 27 years. I merged the Scottsdale store with my
Chandler Villa to take a more interactive role with my catering. The merge is the only change I have made - I'm still the
"Head Rummy", and I haven't left Old Town Scottsdale for good, as I will be cutting cake from time to time in the
surrounding galleries. So, please come see me at me my Chandler Villa for a visit and a hug!"
