Don’t be surprised if, while attending a social event in Corpus Christi, you find Yolanda Specialty Cake on the dessert menu. The cakery regularly donates to charity events, such as the March of Dimes and the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. Last year, Yolanda’s donated around $8,000 in cake to Corpus Christi’s March of Dimes Signature Chef Auction, which is held to raise funds toward improving the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.
For the 3rd Annual Diamond Dash, Yolanda’s contributed 150 cupcakes and 150 petit fours. But that’s just a bite-sized sample of what they have to offer.
Yolanda’s Specialty Cakes was founded in 1993 by Yolanda Amaya, and has now grown to include four full-time decorators who specialize in anything from a five-foot long birthday sheet cake to 3-D wedding sculptures with hand-painted frosting moldings and sugar ornaments. From large cupcakes to exquisite petit fours (mini-cakes perfect for popping in your mouth), Yolanda’s has cake for every occasion, for every expertise. With a quick trip to the bakery, home-decorators can choose from several aisles stocked with frosting, molds, utensils, and hundreds of toppers for any event that requires cake, whether it is an Over the Hill birthday party or a newborn celebration. Strawberry, chocolate chip, red velvet, crème filling; they do it all, big and small.
