Tastes from the Tinman offers custom cakes, treats and edible goodies at affordable prices.
What’s a party without a cake..? Well I’ll tell you… not a real party! Virtually every event in life worth celebrating is worth celebrating with a cake. And when that cake is a perfect custom centerpiece that accents your occasion like no other, it must be a Tinman cake.
I, like many decorators, first got started by taking a couple local introductory cake decorating classes with the intention of doing wedding cakes as a side business. Also at that time, cake Tv shows like “cake boss” and “ace of cakes” were just becoming popular. So after learning the basics, and seeing what was possible on Tv, there was nothing I couldn’t learn to do.
I do cakes and treats for all occasions, but I specialize in custom 3Dimensional cakes. Cakes that stand up, ride on tires, with extreme attention to detail. However, I feel my true place in the baking world is to make my art available to everyone. If you don’t have an endless budget to spend on cake, and if you don’t have an aunt willing to work for free, that’s where I come in. Every bride deserves a gorgeous wedding cake, and every kid deserves a cool smash cake on their 1st birthday. And I price my work so that anybody can enjoy it.
I also believe that if your not givin your not livin. So I try as hard as I can to make my work available to benefits and fundraisers, be it cupcakes, cake pops, or an auctionable cake. Whatever can be done.
I’ve divided my cake pictures as best I could into categories for easy viewing, but I’m sure you’ll see that some of the themes fit into multiple categories or were a category all their own. Enjoy and keep life sweet.
