Oma's Cakery is owned and operated by Shayla Avants, a resident of Largo, Florida. A mother of two, Shayla first heard of diaper cake centerpieces in 2006 when she was pregnant with her second child. Shayla's mother, JoAnna, created the cake and gave it to her as a present. "I always thought Mom's cakes were neat and always suggested we should start a business, but we never got around to it. Mom and I recently talked about how she was making another cake for a friend's sister, and that's when I decided I was going to pursue the cake centerpiece business." (May 2012)
Almost a year later, with the Oma's Cakery 1-year anniversary around the bend, the company has expanded tremendously. Not only do they produce custom-made cake centerpieces, they make gift baskets and various products to accommodate their customer's demand. Affordable and unique, Oma's Cakery has a product line unlike their competition. The idea is to offer products that everyone can afford & love. Oma's Cakery not only sells their products online, but has a storefront in Saint Petersburg and booths at local flea markets. We try to make sure people can find our brand anywhere. Our internet presence is profound (and continuously growing) & we work diligently to make sure our customers can find us online very easily. (March 2013)
