Take the Cake began in the fall of 1986, primarily as a wholesale bakery, selling to area restaurants, caterers and coffee shops. Nancy Purcell, owner, is a Graduate of Johnson & Wales University School of Culinary Arts with a Bachelor's Degree in Culinary Arts. We have grown consistently over the years, adding our retail shop in the fall of 1988. With our talented pastry chefs and well-trained support staff, we produce an amazing amount of cakes for a small bakery. We take pride in the fine reputation that we have achieved and look forward to doing business with you.
