Not your average cakes

Debbie's cakes are anything but ordinary. (Debbie Goard, Debbie Does Cakes)

"I truly enjoy making food and animal cakes but I also love that I am often challenged to make things that I had no previous knowledge of," said Goard. "It forces me to learn new things, create new techniques." (Debbie Goard, Debbie Does Cakes)

"Believe it or not, cakes don't really 'want' to be manipulated into sometimes gravity defying shapes," said Goard. "My customers tell me that they are surprised that the cakes were both wonderful to look at but also moist and delicious." (Debbie Goard, Debbie Does Cakes)

Goard assures on her website that every cake she makes is 100% edible. (Debbie Goard, Debbie Does Cakes)

While architectural cakes are not out of her wheelhouse, Goard tends to gravitate towards the ones that are a bit closer to the ground. (Debbie Goard, Debbie Does Cakes)

Goard uses traditional cake recipes for each cake, ensuring that not only do they taste good, but they are able to withstand the structure. (Debbie Goard, Debbie Does Cakes)

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Goard has been making cakes professionally for over 20 years. (Debbie Goard, Debbie Does Cakes)
