Celebrity Cake Studio is a family-owned and operated artisan cake boutique in Tacoma. The family has been baking joy into all of their artistically designed cakes and desserts for 25 years. Odette D’Aniello, sister Mary Ann Quitugua and cousin Wallace Bolo (the “Baker Supreme”), are third-generation bakers who grew up in their family’s bakery on Guam.
The CEO and visionary behind the organization, Odette D’Aniello, says that they enjoy running a lean, fun, creative business. “I like the styling of wedding cakes and custom cakes — it’s our medium of art. My sister is now my partner and has been for the past 21 years. She and I are cake designers; that’s what we love to do. I’m the CEO and my sister is the COO.”
From the beginning, they decided that family was a priority. “We love to learn and we are a very warm and welcoming family-owned company. Our culture has been easygoing and we love that our kids can now also be a part of the company,” says Odette.
“We offer wedding cakes and special occasion cakes in our retail store. We have a store and showroom in Tacoma. We do beautiful work and we’re one of the top cake designers in the Seattle area. Celebrity Cake specializes in wedding and celebration cakes. We are artists and we really love creating edible art,” Odette explains further.
Celebrity Cakes acquired another bakery called Dragonfly Cakes out of Sausalito, California in 2016. Their chocolate-covered petits fours are so delicious and baked with cage-free eggs, quality ingredients and plant-based colors. Says Odette, “We sell the petits fours to hundreds of stores nationwide; Dragonfly Cakes is our national brand.”
Celebrity Cake Studio has received numerous small business accolades including winning Best of Western Washington for many years in a row. And you can find their products sold in specialty markets in the Pacific Northwest.
