The story behind this Alabama bake shop’s one-of-a-kind Baby Bites

Zoe Cassimus had ordered Carol’s cakes for family celebrations, and when Zoe’s Kitchen moved into a new location in SoHo Square, she called Carol to see if she and Dennis would be interested in opening a bake shop in the old Zoe’s space.

And for 10 years, they also operated a second location off U.S. 280 in Inverness, but about two and a half years ago, they closed that shop and opened another on Gadsden Highway in Trussville, where they have lived since 1989. “Nobody can use the name Baby Bites,” Dennis says. “I’ve shut down several people that have tried to do that. They can call them any kind of bites they want to as long as it’s not Baby Bites.”Carol prepares the dry mix that’s used to make the cake batter for the Baby Bites all by herself, and her recipe is such a closely guarded secret that Dennis says even he doesn’t know what all goes into it.

Customers order them by the dozens, and sometimes the hundreds, to commemorate life’s major milestones -- from weddings to baby showers, birthdays to graduations, retirement parties to memorial services.
