I need a small birthday cake for a charter on Wed. Vi Desserts was $45 for a 6" cake and seemed a bit overpriced for me. Any ideas?

I've seen some very attractive cakes at the STX supermarkets. Not at all expensive.

Too Late for you.

However, this is a new business just dropped into my in box. You might want to take note for future reference. New business starting up so I have no clue as to the taste of the cakes. The pictures of the cakes look quite creative.

Too late but I have bought cakes at Plaza Extra and they taste great and are not expensive. But I will say the VI Desserts has the absolutely BEST tasting cakes ever.
