Atlanta’s Best Cakes

If you haven’t heard of it, don’t fret, its a pretty well guarded secret. However, I am ready to spill the beans… Matty Cakes has been our yearly birthday cake artist since our son was one. We’ve expanded to use him for just about any excuse we can have for a party and, frankly, one of his cakes is reason enough to celebrate.
His first cake, the “Elephant Cake“, secured Matty’s place in our family for the long haul. Last Halloween we got a “witch cake” that was about the size of a small pony but one of the most delicious things to ever pass the lips of each of our guests.

We frequently stop by for chocolate devil’s food cupcakes with buttercream icing. Sometimes my car just drives itself right into the parking lot at the corner of Rock Springs and Piedmont Rd in Atlanta.

While no one can touch Matty’s kids cakes, his other specialty cakes, including wedding cakes, are amazing. They taste even better then they look.

Today I brought a small chocolate cream torte from the counter at Matty cakes. They always have something available for last minute needs. It was a chocolate cream cake with chocolate cookie crust topped off with whipped cream. Sounds simple and almost common but everyone oo’d and ah’d when they tasted it. The office ladies made redneck teeth with the crust and the whole environment turned to cheer and child-like celebration. Its amazing what these cakes can do to a person!
We’re picking up our son’s 4 year old birthday cake on Sunday. I’ll let you know how that turns out. The bar is set high but I’ll bet there won’t be anything but wows.
