History
Established in 2008.
Cute Cakes has southern roots. Owner Jill Reilly, a Virginia native, learned the love of baking from the women in her family, and after many years and hundreds of cakes for friends and family, she made the move to market her talent to others.
Gaining popularity, Jill set up shop in a small commercial kitchen in Poway, CA. She quickly outgrew that facility and began searching for a larger, more visible storefront. When Gloria’s Bakery of Escondido decided to sell their shop, Jill and her husband decided to marry the two businesses into one designer cake shop, opening Cute Cakes in Escondido in January 2010.
Gloria’s reputation for superior quality was a great foundation for new items that Cute Cakes added. Her delicious southern recipes add to an already successful line-up of celebration cakes.
In July 2015, Cute Cakes grew further, expanding into the current location. They are now able to offer espresso and café items, as well as decorating classes and birthday parties.
