Hi!  I'm Renae Heineck, the owner of Custom Cakes NW in Newberg, Oregon, thanks for checking out my website.

I'm often asked, "How long have you been decorating cakes?"  ....and the answer is, "since I was 7 with my Easy Bake Oven".  My brother and I had a sweet tooth and our Mom fostered the love of baking.  On rainy days we baked. On days off from school, we baked.  Any holiday was another reason to bake, I would watch in amazement at my Mom and her cousins creating sweets.  At 15 Mom signed me up for my first cake decorating class.  While in high school, I baked and decorated in retail bakeries and ice cream cake shops in Southern Oregon.  I moved to Portland because I intended to go to nursing school, but ended up in information technology, all along creating cakes on the side.  Once we decided that being a stay-at-home-Mom was important to our family, we built a kitchen that could be licensed and I returned to the sugar arts as a creative outlet and help replace my income with out leaving our kids.  Custom Cakes NW has grown into a business I'm proud of and I strive to make every client's day a little sweeter.

Custom Cakes NW is exactly that.  Customizing desserts for all-occasions using scratch recipes, fresh quality ingredients, with over 30 years experience in baking and sugar arts.  Custom Cakes offers wedding, party, dessert, and all-occasion cakes along with cupcakes, cake truffles, cheesecakes, and a variety of small sweet treats.  All of these baked and decorated to order in a state-licensed, insured, domestic kitchen set in Yamhill County wine country.

I have studied under CMSA (Certified Master Sugar Artists) teachers and am a member of International Cake Exploration Societe’ (ICES) an international organization that serves over 4,000 members from around the world in an effort to preserve, advance and encourage exploration of the sugar arts.  Custom Cakes NW is a preferred "cakery" for local venues, contracted by wedding service providers, and a member of Wine Country Wedding Professionals.  I reliably deliver cakes for many events in the northwest.  A reputation for quality local ingredients, creativity, and hospitality has made Custom Cakes a reputable local business.  I buy quality ingredients from local business, grow it myself, or purchase from farmers markets when possible.  You can taste the difference at Custom Cakes NW because taste and design matter.

Collectively, I will assist you in designing a cake tailored to your personal tastes.  From elegantly simple to bold and beautiful, I am dedicated to creating and delivering a delicious center piece that everyone will rave about while creating lasting memories and leaving only crumbs left behind.
