A. Cakes Bakery
Hi, I’m Armana, a wedding cake artist passionate about creating luxurious, edible works of art. Growing up in Nebraska, I dreamed of playing professional golf and spent years touring while also working at my family’s wedding venue. After college and eight years on the golf circuit, I found myself at a crossroads. During lockdown, I decorated my first cake, and everything changed. Within three months, I launched my dessert business, and through constant growth and exploration, I discovered that cakes were my true passion. Designing my first wedding cake brought me full circle, back into the wedding industry where I feel right at home. Now, I have the joy of creating bespoke cakes for some of Arizona’s most beautiful celebrations.
