The Italian Cake


Authentic Italian cakes and desserts for your events, made with passion and creativity.



About Me


Hi, I’m Monica. My passion for baking and cooking started in my early childhood in Romania, where I was born. I watched my mom cook every day and make all sort of cakes and desserts during the Holidays. Years later, when I moved to Italy, my desire and curiosity to learn to cook in the Italian tradition flourished. I always loved to cook and bake for family and friends. When I moved to Lincoln, Nebraska, a few years ago, with my husband Antonio and our first child, I continued to cook and bake Italian foods, perfecting and sharing my knowledge, especially enjoying the craftsmanship of the cake design. Many friends asked me to bake for their special events. And some of them started asking why I didn’t turn my passion into my vocation. I then realized that this may be possible. A dream started to slowly become reality, and I hope you will be part of it.

Sweet Dreams

These are my favorites. I really love watching children’s faces when they look at their birthday cakes. It may be their preferred character or activity. Bring your ideas and I will help make it become pure sweetness. I always try to make my best to design something original.
