About Us

My passion for cake design started over 30 years ago when my family's favorite baker retired during the planning of my parent's 4oth wedding anniversary.  I decided to take matters into my own hands (literally) by teaching myself the art of personalized cake creating.

What started as a creative outlet turned my passion into a household name in my local community's wedding industry.

My company, Susie's Confections, debut was at a popular bridal show in Allen, TX.  Being my first show, I was intimidated seeing all the experienced suppliers decked out with their fancy "dummy cakes" and supreme marketing tactics.  But with my family's famous "Cinderella Pumpkin Cake" recipe in my back pocket, it didn't last long.  By the end of the day, different exhibitors were coming to me, saying they just had to see and try for themselves what all the customers were raving about.  It was here that I got my first wedding, and from that, two referrals, and so on.

Susie's Confections has now blossomed into Susie's Wedding Confections and still located in Dauphin Island, AL, and serving not only Dauphin Island but all of Mobile County and Baldwin County as well as Pascagoula County MS., but the heart of the company is still the same.  It's the industry culture that keeps me coming back for more.  Everyone is always so happy, and you get to play a part in creating that happiness on their special day.  It just feels good. It really doesn't get much better than that...well, until you try my famous "Cinderella Pumpkin Cake."
