OUR CAKE STUDIO

Hey y'all! Thanks for visiting Platinum Cake Designs (PCD). We're a custom cake business operating in a private cake studio in Decatur, Georgia and serves the Atlanta metro area. We specialize in uniquely designed, custom, decorated cakes, and we also offer custom cookies, cakesicles, cupcakes, and cake pops. At PCD, there are 4 characteristics that set our cake business apart: delicious taste, imaginative designs, experienced professionals, and an eco-conscious cake studio. We'd love to be a part of your special event and make your memories sweeter.

TASTE

Life is too short to eat food that doesn't taste good.

-Alana Chernila

We have done extensive recipe testing to ensure we create not only a beautiful dessert but also a delicious dessert.  We bake all our desserts from scratch and made-to-order.  Additionally, we use high quality, locally-sourced and/or organic ingredients whenever possible.

In business 'professionalism' is not a tactic but a moral value.

-Amit Kalantri

We are skilled professionals with over 30 years of experience baking and decorating.  We appreciate our client's input so we respect their suggestions, ideas, and time. We communicate with our clients to ensure clear understanding.  We strive to deliver a dessert that is beyond our clients' expectations.

DESIGN

Every great design begins with an even better story.

-Lorinda Mamo

During the consultation, we listen to our clients to collaborate and design a customized dessert that captures their unique style. We love it when our clients want us to transform an object into cake through sculpting or they want to add a dynamic or interactive element to their cake.

ECO-CONSCIOUS

You can start changing the world for the better daily - no matter how small the action.

-Nelson Mandela​

At PCD, we care about the environment.  We are part of a composting collaboration to address any food waste.  In addition, we use compostable bags for all our cookies, and we recycle.  We are considerate of our carbon footprint, so we incorporate eco-conscious materials whenever possible.

MEET CHEF NEVIA

Chef Nevia

Pastry Chef Nevia Giles is the owner and cake artist of PCD. She has always had a passion for baking and cake decorating (and a sweet tooth). This passion led her to start PCD in 2015. At a young age, her mother involved Nevia and her siblings in the kitchen. Her mother also encouraged her kids to be imaginative outside the kitchen through sewing, drawing, woodworking, and gardening. Nevia found baking to be an ideal way to show her love to her friends and family and express her creativity. Nevia continued to bake for her friends while pursuing her Business degree at Boston University. ​ The catalyst for starting PCD came when Nevia was given the opportunity to make her sister's wedding cake. The cake was a hit and most importantly her sister loved it. Nevia wanted to share her love and creativity on a larger scale. Fast forward a few years, Nevia decided to leave the utility and consulting industries after 13 years, and turn her long-term hobby into a career. She enrolled in the Pastry and Baking program at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York. After graduating, she came back to Atlanta and started PCD.
