About

The name says it plainly: at Cakes n' Conversations, the cake starts with a conversation. Owner Rhonda builds custom, made-to-order cakes one order at a time, the kind you can't pull off a grocery shelf, designed around whatever you describe when you reach out. This is a by-request shop off the Woodruff Road corridor rather than a walk-up display case, and themed occasion cakes are the specialty. Past builds have run the range from a "13 Going on 30" movie theme to a bold cheetah print, so birthdays, weddings, and one-off ideas all land in the same wheelhouse. You can order online through the shop's Square site or arrange delivery, which makes it easy to sort out the details from home or the office. It's also one of the Upstate's Black-owned bakeries. What customers keep coming back to is Rhonda herself. The reviews hit the same notes again and again: she listens closely, communicates the whole way through, takes last-minute asks in stride, and hands over a cake that matches the picture in your head, often beating it. The happy surprise most of them mention is that it tastes as good as it looks. Where it goes from there is the conversation part. The flavors, the fillings, and the design that fits your occasion all get worked out once you start it.
