If you like the TV show “Ace of Cakes,” you will love Cakes by Design. When it comes to designer cakes, Lina Hunter of North Andover creates bright and bold designs in endless shapes, sizes and possibilities.

Lina’s passion for pastries and cake-making began when she was young. But it wasn’t until after she practiced dentistry for 11 years, got married and had children that Lina revisited her love for confectionery creations and launched Cakes by Design.

Designing the perfect wedding cake for a bride and groom is serious business for Lina, and that can be seen in her spectacular creations. Her custom wedding cakes are made to order, most often as a unique reflection of the bride’s style and individuality. Lina will also design cakes for grooms, a Southern tradition that captures his personality.

Traditional cake flavors with a surprise layer of crunch between each tier have become one of Lina’s specialties. Textures like crushed Heath bar or toasted coconut add a tasty level of interest and burst of flavor. Lina’s amazing cake surfaces are achieved with a thin layer of fondant over delicious buttercream.

Cake trends of note include square and hexagonal shapes, chic black and white as well as blue and turquoise color schemes, and intricate lacy design details.

Whether your cake follows the latest trends or you carve a new look all your own, Cakes by Design can help you realize your ultimate vision.
