About Us
Welcome to Cake Connection!
Owner Diane Simmons discovered her love for cake decorating as a child with her grandmother and began professionally decorating in 1993. In 2007, with her kids growing up and her dream still alive, Diane opened Cake Connection—a full-service baking supply store. For nearly 18 years, it was a popular destination for decorators, offering thousands of cake, cookie, and candy items.
As the store grew, Diane retired from baking to focus fully on the shop. Recently, she found a new passion in fitness and decided to close the storefront, shifting Cake Connection online. Today, we offer a curated selection of quality supplies—specializing in sprinkles and mixes, foil cupcake liners, and toppers for birthdays, holidays, and special occasions. We're here to help make your sweet creations shine!
Diane Simmons
Diane is the owner of Cake Connection, and actively decorated cakes from 1992 until 2011. She focused heavily on custom wedding cakes and won multiple awards at various competitions throughout the US, and had several cakes published in a variety of magazines around the world. Diane developed an entire product line for a new technique she developed creating gelatin flowers, and has traveled around the nation teaching a variety of classes. She has also written two books on her gelatin techniques.
Diane now manages the retail and wholesale divisions, while furthering her education in the fitness field in preparation to become a personal trainer.
Eric Simmons
Eric is now the other half of the Cake Connection dynamic duo managing the wholesale business. Eric has worked for us since the retail store opened as child labor (wink-wink) and now is stepping into his dad's shoe's (although Darin still likes to keep a close eye on both of his babies - the business and Eric.)
And it goes without saying... if ever you're not happy, just reach out to Mom - it'll get taken care of! 😉
