If the door opens at just the right moment, the smell of fresh baked goods wafts to the sidewalk and lures you in. As soon as you're inside, the smell of goodness will envelop you. Perhaps it will trigger a memory of when your mom made cupcakes for the class, and how you couldn’t wait to sneak one.

Welcome to Cake Daddies, Wilton Drive’s newest spot to sneak a sweet treat. While it’s been open for a few weeks, its grand opening was held May 24. The fanfare was great as City Commissioners Don D’Arminio and Chris Caputo joined bakers and investors to cut the ribbon.

It was too hot for long speeches, but there was quickly a line out the door to get a cupcake, cookie or more fresh fare.

“This is the grand opening of Cake Daddy’s, all inspired by Victor Calderon,” investor Chuck King said moments after the ribbon was cut. Calderon was focused on the task at hand: baking.

As the line grew, he rushed back to the open kitchen and was back at work, while associates filled orders and rang them up. Some customers bought one to eat there, while others selected a variety to box up and take home.

Flavors ranged from key lime pie to chocolate raspberry to a tropical white cupcake with coconut shavings on top.

That evening was filled with cupcakes and champagne at a VIP reception. Friends and cupcake fans sampled the treats, and many were spotted going back for seconds and thirds.

“My favorite is the carrot cake. I don’t know what it is. It’s just really different and unique. It’s entirely flavorful and just delicious. I highly recommend.”

Cake Daddy’s is tucked in between Ethos and Chef Nate’s. Hours are 7-11 a.m. and 2-9 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday. 7 a.m.-9 p.m. on Fridays, 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Saturdays, and 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Sundays. They’re closed Mondays.
