Savannah’s Cakes & Cookies

Welcome to 𝓢𝓪𝓿𝓪𝓷𝓷𝓪𝓱’𝓼 𝓒𝓪𝓴𝓮𝓼 & 𝓒𝓸𝓸𝓴𝓲𝓮𝓼— a registered cottage home bakery.

I’m Savannah Carter— the owner, baker, and artist! I specialize in decorated buttercream cakes, cupcakes, royal icing decorated sugar cookies, cake pops, cookie cakes, & more!

My philosophy is that a little (or a lot 😋) of sugar won’t hurt but it’s my goal to keep ingredients and recipes as clean and high quality as I can.

I am happy to offer GF, vegan, & dairy free recipes that accommodate certain food allergies because I firmly believe everyone should be able to celebrate with a custom dessert.

Until my bakery becomes completely dye free, I also happily offer dye free options. This has been a very important goal to me because my family and I have mainly been dye free since my kids were born and I know how hard it is to find dye free bakers.

**DISCLAIMER: Baked goods are prepared in a home kitchen that handles all common food allergens and is not inspected by the Alabama Department of Public Health.**

I’ve always been an artistic person but thanks to my mom for having a tradition to always let my siblings and I help bake our own birthday cakes, I found that I had a love and talent for baking. In my teenage years, I eventually started baking for other family members which further grew my skills and interest in the art behind it all. In 2013 I married my husband and moved to Birmingham with him. Since then, we have welcomed two beautiful children. I started adventuring into decorated sugar cookies in 2020 and I quickly came to realize the skill and time that goes into creating them! It challenged me to want to learn more and keep practicing. Baking had only been a hobby of mine for family and friends until the last few years. I started getting busier baking for more people and have stayed busy ever since. To realize that people love my work and choose me to create custom edible artwork for their special moments in life, is an indescribable feeling. I truly appreciate it and I feel very honored. I’m completely self taught and am proud of the progress I’ve made as a cake and cookie artist. Taking care of my home and family is my full time job but being able to bake for people along the journey keeps me feeling like there’s more to me than motherhood and caretaking.. Of course, those are the most important roles in life that a person can have and I am very blessed, honored, and wouldn’t trade any of it for ANYTHING.. but if you’re a stay at home mom like myself, you probably understand my heart and where my heart is coming from. You can loose those little parts of you that make you YOU outside of children and relationships.

As time has progressed, l've really just come to realize the importance of displaying to our children to do the things they love and to not be afraid to try even when the dream seems unachievable. For me, it was easy to get caught up in the chaos of life and push aside the gifts and talents God has blessed me with. It’s been a challenge to balance it all but at the same time, it’s been rewarding. Who knows, one day my in-home bakery may evolve into something even bigger. But for now, I appreciate each and everyone who has supported me and allowed me to keep my small business/ dream going!

Thank you for taking the time to learn about my journey. If I haven’t baked for you yet, I’d absolutely love to! 💕
