Luis Arias started out doing makeup for scary movies, while his wife Adriana has always been a baker, so this couple decided to combine their talents into one epic business- Cake Makers. They have been making sweet success since 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every cake starts out pretty simple, a little flour, a little sugar, a little icing, but how they turn out in the end is what you could call award-winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is one of the sculpted cakes we made seven years ago for a cake competition in Orlando,\u201d said Luis as he walked around his shop showing off all his creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luis and Adriana\u2019s cake making dreams all began in Lakeland back in 2014 during the city\u2019s Zombiefest celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n

 \u201cI used to be a makeup artist working for some movies in Salt Lake City, and my wife she was doing some cakes, so we had the idea of joining our forces,\u201d said Luis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little did they know, their zombie creation would change their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEverything explodes for us, the cake catches a lot of attention and we get a lot of interest in our work due to that cake,\u201d said Luis.<\/p>\n\n\n

A few years later they opened Cake Makers in downtown Lakeland. They are now up to 1,500 cakes and counting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe can make any sculpted character you see in movies, TV shows, anything like that, or we can replicate vehicles, spaceships,\u201d said Luis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They say their greatest achievement is the relationships they\u2019ve created. They even have a wall of loyal customers and the cakes they\u2019ve made for them over the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou are creating memories with the people, so we deliver the cakes and they are so excited and very emotional, we take pictures with the people delivering the cakes and they are very excited,\u201d said Luis.<\/p>\n\n\n

Luis and Adriana may be natives of Mexico, but they say their home is definitely Lakeland, and they wouldn\u2019t be here without the overwhelming support from the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLuckily for us the people in Lakeland have supported us all these five or six years that we\u2019ve been open, we are very grateful for that,\u201d said Luis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
