POST FALLS - Katrina Mayer's business is the icing on the cake to her creativity.

Mayer, who recently opened Moments in Cake, a custom-order cake shop at 1420 E. Third Ave. in Post Falls, is holding grand opening events this weekend.

"It started out as a hobby," Mayer said of cake making and decorating. "Then I did occasional orders and, in December, I started to do it full time.

"I love putting a smile on people's faces."

The grand opening is 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.

There will be door prizes and a cake walk today from noon to 1 p.m. There will also be a raffle to win a $75 gift certificate and a 6-inch decorated cake.

Mayer offers cake products ranging from cake pops to extravagant, tiered wedding cakes. She also makes cakes for vegans and those that are gluten-, dairy- or sugar-free.

"As long as I have a two-hour notice, it's all baked fresh," she said.

Mayer works by herself, but may hire a baker if her business picks up so she can focus on decorating, which she enjoys the most.

Custom cake prices range from $1.75 to $2.75 per serving, depending on the flavor.

Cakettes, which are different from cupcakes in that they can be made in different shapes and are not baked with a liner, are $2 each and they are sold in boxed sets of various sizes.

Hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday by appointment only. She offers deliveries.
