La Belle Vie: Artisan Cakes and Baked Goods

Cakes that are works of art, and taste as good as they look. Personal, special artisan cakes and bak Food really is the pathway to my heart.

If music be the food of love, play on...

Your baker, Bethany Jones: I am a marketing professional and graphic designer by day, and was trained as a fine artist (BA and most of my MA in Fine Arts/painting) studying, living, and showing my work in Detroit, New York, and the South of France. I like to think I truly cemented my love of the art of exquisite food in my travels: From my good midwestern

roots watching my mother bake bread every Sunday, to the incredible Greek, middle eastern and soul food to be found in Detroit; to the amazing pastry shops and restaurants of Paris and southern France (even the smallest villages boast at least one Chef!) to the incredibly refined dining experiences to be had in New York, Chicago, Madison, Paris, Venice, countless small villages in France, Italy, Austria, Germany, and so many other places where I've eaten myself into pure bliss. I've been baking (and cooking) from scratch for as long as my nose reached above the counter top. I am dedicated to enjoying amazing food as a part of "a good life." In my baking, I am dedicated to creating beautiful, delicious, individual and personal baked creations for any occasion. I have cooked in a french restaurant in Cambridge Wisconsin, and have been baking cakes for friends' special occasions for a number of years. While specializing in artisan cakes, I also have won awards for my pies, and also bake cookies, scones, biscotti and other baked goods on request. Certified under the Michigan Cottage Food law, I bake at home in Ripley, where I live with my family: Two kids and dog (who are all Banish-ed while baking is underway.) Anything that comes from this kitchen is baked with love and complete attention to detail. Prices are determined by each individual project, however a minimum deposit for a celebration cake is $50, plus additional fees. A sheet-type non-filled one layer cake will start at $50 - $60, a 6" layer cake torted with one filling will usually start from $70 - $80, 8" layer cakes $80 - $90, 10" layer cakes $90 and up. Multiple layer cakes will be priced based on complexity of decoration and construction, and number of servings, usually priced at $50 plus $2 - $3/serving. I try to customize each project to the needs and interests of the customer, so please always call, message or email to discuss ideas, and we can tailor pricing based on final concept, which may or may not fall within these general pricing brackets. Thank you so much for your interest!

Another cake commission, Pokémon! (A little nailed it as it all started to melt after it was done…after 2.5 days work, it was almost beautiful until the heat dome descended about 10 am and it all started to melt). still looks like Picachu I think? Maybe overdid it with glitter sugar…but mainly to hide the condensation bubbling up… 😭😭😭😂😂😂

Chocolate, vanilla, and rum (flavored!) buttercreams over a white/yellow cake, 5 layers, filled with chocolate buttercream, coated with a violet rum buttercream, and the puzzle piece is solid white cake covered in light golden cocoa buttercream, also used in the “chain” piping details. Lots and lots of metallic gold sprinkles.

Supreme Court rules for Colorado baker in same-s*x wedding cake case

I respectfully disagree. Discrimination cannot be tolerated under any circumstances. I will bake regardless of my client's race, gender, religion, national origin, s*xual orientation, or any of the protected statuses that are otherwise marginalized due to bigotry and hate.

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Colorado baker who refused to bake a cake to celebrate the marriage of a same s*x couple because of a religious objection.
