Let Them Eat Cake

"Love, love, and cherish life. Also, just eat the cake." —Aaron Paul 

With a mentality as sweet as his, it's easy to see why loving Idaho native and celebrated celebrity Aaron Paul is a piece of cake. Well, Mr. Paul, we second that emotion! Around here, we believe in having our cake and eating it, too.

Cake Masters Boise: Emmeli's Cake

BOISE, Idaho. Locally-owned and operated, Emmeli's Cake is the second of two successful businesses created by Idaho native Emmeli Mayo.

A wife and mother of three, the former owner of Sweet Things, Inc. is a lifelong, formally trained pastry chef and dessert enthusiast with a less-is-more approach to baking.

 "I am inspired by the world of beautiful desserts and am constantly amazed at how a few pure and simple ingredients can come together to make such an amazing variety of delicious things." -Emmeli Mayo

We imagine it's not always a cake walk, but Mayo is a woman of her word. Each delectable dessert is crafted from fresh, whole ingredients and shortcut-free recipes. No cake mix. No compromises. Mayo's treats are made 100% from scratch.
