into a delicious reality—all of his award-winning, customizable offerings are scratch-made and<br />
top-notch. Flavors run the gamut from red velvet, chocolate, and vanilla to coconut and lemon; and<br />
all can be paired with an astonishing variety of frostings and fillings—think almond buttercream,<br />
passion fruit compote, lemon curd, and chocolate ganache. Luckily, you don’t need to be planning<br />
your big day to treat yourself to one of the sensational, seasonal confections. The bakeshop is open<br />
Wednesday through Saturday to the public with personal-sized treats available for purchase like<br />
cupcakes, cookies, and cannoli. My most recent indulgence, the Lemon Lavender Cupcake, featured<br />
moist white cake that tasted both dense and light and was beautifully decorated with a generous<br />
heap of luscious vanilla buttercream—infused with perfectly tart lemon and a hint of sweet, herbal<br />
lavender—and a sugared lemon slice. And if all that’s not sweet enough, Vilt is cooking up plans to<br />
expand by selling his treats at local restaurants. 4100 Cameron Park Drive, Suite 117, Cameron<br />
