"Owner Hayley Callaway-Evans has opened four bakeries and racked up over 300,000 Instagram followers for her intricately decorated cookies and cakes. Her attention to detail is intense — one multi-tier wedding cake required four employees to pipe all the frosting — and she’s produced showpiece replicas such as a Willie Nelson guitar birthday cake that featured intricate details including autographs from other artists like Johnny Cash, delicate guitar strings made of icing, and spots where the guitar had worn. Callaway-Evans says, "I love hearing stories about the people getting the cakes," and adds, "It is so fun to hear the unique personalities and interests. You know you are getting to make something that they will laugh and talk about for years to come." She also describes mashup requests (a recent example: a Taylor Swift rock-climbing cake). How to order: Submit a request online; custom orders require at least seven days’ notice." - Erin Russell
