Company Background
   Cakes By David is a family owned and operated business that was established in 1989.  Over the past 16 years Cakes By David has become well known from Virginia to New Jersey for it's fresh, made to order products.We have even had one cake delivered as far away as Ohio! Wedding cake delivery and setup is done in a 75 mile radius from our Salisbury location. A select few cakes are shipped anywhere including APO's and FPO's.

   The business is named for David Wharton, the primary cake artist. And although all family members assist with the business it is Davids' art backround (he was an art major at Towson University) that makes his decorating stand out. His backround has given him the ability to create masterful works of edible art.

  Barbara Wharton is who will greet you when you come in to the shop. She does an excellent job guiding you through the process of selecting your ideal product and making sure all the details are attended to. Behind the scenes she does the baking as well as assisting David with the decorating.

  The oldest of 3 sons, Yancy, has helped with the technical aspects of the business. From computer consultant to web page design, Yancy has been an instrumental part of the team. Four years ago, Yancy had the idea of bringing Photo cakes here to Salisbury. We were the first in the area to offer this product. With the assistance of his wife Hope, he continues to help Cakes By David stay on the cutting edge of cake decorating technology.

  Jason, the middle son, brings an extra dash of creativity to the cake decorating. He takes after David with the artistic talent! There have been many times when Jason and Dave have hand drawn designs on our cakes. Jason also scans in photos and enhances them for the Photo cakes as well as doing some of the routine maintenence on our special printers.

  Lets not forget the youngest son, Jordan. He owns Jordan's Giant Cookie Company (a subsiderary of Cakes By David). He also handles most of the internet research when we need a clear picture of a specific item a customer wants on a cake, or to gather backround information and/or recipes when we are asked to make something out of the ordinary. At times Jordan also covers for Jason and does some scanning and printing for the Photo cakes. Jordan also has the assistance of Crystal Vance (Jasons fiance) with research projects and clerical duties.

  The last additions to the family are Crystals son, Christopher (6 yrs old) the offical taste tester and Jetta (9 mos old) our newest pastery chef. They have the best job in the business making sure all of our products are in their words: YUMMY!
