Is it cake? You might ask that question when looking at any number of cakes made by Leslie Coleman of Leslie's Custom Cakes in Severna Park. They are so unique and life-like you could be forgiven for not knowing the answer to that question.

I've known Leslie for years, and she was one of my first mom friends when I moved to Pasadena a decade ago. I've had the privilege of seeing her work over the years, and each time she seems to outdo herself.
I can say from a lot of experience, her cakes are as delicious as they are beautiful!
If you need a cake or cupcakes for any occasion, Leslie is your girl.

"If you can dream it, I can design it"
This is Leslie's mantra. In fact, Leslie has shared with me that she prefers customers tell her what general theme they would like, rather than try to replicate or copy a picture of a cake. Leslie loves using her creativity to come up with her own design.
I guaranteed you will be wowed by what she comes up with!
For my husband's birthday cake a couple of years ago, I told Leslie I wanted a camping and hiking theme because it's two of his two favorite activities. That was all I told her, and this is what she created!

What Makes Leslie Different
Edible Toppings
Leslie's cakes are not covered with quick and easy plastic toppings!
One of the most fascinating parts of Leslie's work is how much she uses edible toppings on her cakes. For my son's recent birthday cake, the ONLY two parts of the cake that were not edible were the light and the popcorn box. Yes, we all got to enjoy the real popcorn for my son's party at the movie theater, and even the little black projector for the light was made from fondant.

It's all in the details
She did not tell me she was going to do this, but for Quinten's birthday, Leslie brought a separate small cupcake (in the same flavor as the cake) with a candle so he could blow out a candle. Post-Covid we're all a little more aware of how we spread germs, and no kids would be eating a cake that had just been blown on.

Leslie will deliver AND set up your cake
There's an extra fee for delivery, but when planning a party this is one less stressor to be on your mind. You don't have to worry about picking the cake up, transporting it, dropping it, kids getting into it, etc, etc! She is a mom too and gets it.
For Quinten's cake, Leslie delivered right to the movie theater where the party was! She was professionally attired and set up the cake for us. I literally did nothing to it until we cut into it later. It truly doesn't get any easier than that!

If you need a custom-made cake or cupcakes for a birthday, graduation, Mother's Day, shower, engagement, first communion, christening, retirement or any other special occasion, Leslie can make it happen!
