Dear Friends,
After 20 wonderful years, I have made the heartfelt decision to retire from baking for my business, Emoticakes, at the end of October. It’s amazing to reflect on how this journey began when my son was just a year old, and now, he’s turning 21!
For those of you with confirmed orders through October, I’m looking forward to baking for you one last time. However, due to my current schedule, I won’t be able to accept any new orders.
It has been an absolute joy and privilege to create cakes, cookies, and cupcakes for so many of you throughout the years. Your support has meant the world to me, and I am truly grateful for each and every one of you.
As I embark on this next chapter, I’m excited to focus on writing a recipe book (stay tuned for updates!), continue to focus on my teaching job, and enjoy traveling with my husband and our two grown children.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being a part of this journey with me.
With gratitude,
Amy Dawson
About Emoticakes
A creative soul, I love to combine two of my passions; art and baking in Emoticakes. My mom was Italian and that meant we always had fresh baked goods in our house. During childhood, I used my Easy-bake oven to bake for my parents. In my teen years, of course I practiced baking in my parents’ kitchen.
When my kids were young, I created Emoticakes! The timing was perfect, as my husband and I were slowly becoming fitness enthusiasts. Emoticakes gives me an opportunity to bake for other people’s celebrations while removing tempting baked goods on my own counter.
I run the business part-time from my commercial kitchen over my garage. I use local flour from Farmer Ground, and purchase many ingredients from Regional Access in Ithaca. Emoticakes offers custom baked cakes, cupcakes, cookies and more in the Ithaca and Trumansburg, NY area. You can catch me during the day teaching 7th grade math in Trumansburg.
