Haley Dow Cake Co.

Hi everyone, and welcome to Haley Dow Cake Co.! Being new to this platform, and the owner and creator of HDCC, I would love to take this opportunity to introduce myself and tell you about this little dream of mine. •••••••••• I’m Haley Dow, a 29 year-old wife, corporate professional, and self-taught baker with a passion for creating cakes and desserts worthy of celebration themselves! My love for baking began during the height of the pandemic. Navigating the switch from commuting to a corporate office to working from home, and adjusting to this “new normal”, I found baking to be the creative outlet I needed to de-stress in my downtime. This journey began by creating desserts and cakes for small gatherings with friends and family. It wasn’t long after that I was flooded with support and encouragement to share my talents with the masses. In February 2022, Haley Dow Cake Co. was born! While I maintain my career as a corporate project manager, I spend my evenings and weekends planning, baking, and decorating one-of-a-kind cakes and confectionery for my amazing clients. I specialize in bespoke buttercream cakes with a devoted attention to detail and passion for creating buttercream art. Haley Dow Cake Co. is a cottage business, a home-based operation, in Martinsville, Indiana, a quaint south-central town where small businesses are at the heart of the community. Maintaining an intimate business model allows me to work closely with clients, providing a personalized design service to create the perfect bakes for their special occasions. •••••••••• To say this has been an incredible journey so far would be an understatement. What started as a creative outlet, has taught me so much about time management, marketing, customer service, pricing, and so much more! Entrepreneurship isn't for the faint of heart, but I wouldn't trade this experience for anything. I love sharing my passion with you all! As an entrepreneur, I am extremely grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you for being here and thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve you. It is always my goal to provide you with excellent custom service, the highest-quality product, and a beautiful dessert to share with your family and friends! #business #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #womeninbusiness #womenownedbusiness #womenowned #bakery #baker #bespokecakes #cake #cakedesigner #cakedecorating #cupcakes #cookies #bakedgoods #desserts

For the Girls Inc Ruby Gala •••••••••• It was my absolute pleasure to donate this 6” Chocolate Biscoff cake to support all the amazing little girls in our community! Four layers of chocolate biscoff cake are filled with biscoff cookie butter and crumbled biscoff cookies, and frosted in biscoff cookie butter buttercream! This flavor has become a new favorite of mine! #cake #cakes #cakeinspo #caketrend #caketrends #cakeideas #cakedesign #cakedecorating #cakeoftheday #bespokecakes #buttercream #buttercreamcakes #buttercreamart #localbaker #entrepreneur #womanownedbusiness #cottagebakery #vintage #vintagecake #lambeth #lambethcake #purple #purplecake #butterflies #fairycake #biscoffcake #charitysupport #fundraising

For Lainey and Camryn •••••••••• A sweet and simple vanilla bean mini-tier for a beautiful fall wedding! The brief included the colors “pumpkin orange” and “emerald green,” and included descriptors like “pretty” and “simple.” So, I decided to paint a few floral accents in buttercream and add the tiniest amount of edible gold leaf detail. Join me in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Smith a lifetime of happiness! #cake #cakes #caketrends #cakeideas #cakedesign #cakeaesthetic #bespokecakes #buttercream #buttercreamcakes #wedding #weddingcakes #fallwedding #fallweddingcake

For Megan and Emile •••••••••• Autumn arrived just in time for Megan and Emile’s big day, and what a stunner it was! With the groom being from South Africa, this couple wanted to incorporate something special into their cake. So, I created a Chocolate Amarula cake filled with homemade caramel and frosted in Amarula swiss meringue buttercream. This delicious cream liqueur from South Africa compliments the rich chocolate cake so beautifully! I also provided a large vanilla bean sheet cake filled with strawberry jam for guests to enjoy! #cake #cakes #caketrends #cakeideas #cakedesign #cakeaesthetic #bespokecakes #buttercream #buttercreamcakes #wedding #weddingcakes #fallwedding #fallweddingcake #sheetcake #sheetcakes
