Alita's Southern Cakes

If you're a Saturday morning Curb Market shopper, you may have seen Alita with her mini pound cakes and big squares of carrot cake with the nice, thick layer of cream cheese icing. I'm lucky enough to count Alita as a friend - we met several years ago when we were both beginning our culinary educations at GTCC. I dropped out during the first semester; Alita graduated with flying colors and converted the garage of her newly built home into a really nice commercial bakery.

As a friend, I've had the opportunity to taste many of Alita's cakes so I can say definitively that everything she makes is amazing, though Rob and I have a serious soft-spot for her carrot cake which is unbelievably moist with icing that's fluffy and not too rich.

Yes! Weekly did justice to Alita's cakes in their article this week but they left out one essential detail: if you want to order Alita's carrot (mmmm.... carrot cake....), red velvet or chocolate cakes, or any of her gourmet, all butter pound cakes, email her at ASC@triad.rr.com or call her at 336.510.0313. Your co-workers/friends/family/special someone will love you for it!
