Custom Cake Boutique To Open Soon

Sharon White recently closed a cupcake shop in Annapolis to open The Cake Courtesan in Bowie.

Are you craving something sweet? The Cake Courtesan, a custom cake and confection boutique, is coming soon to Bowie Plaza and will be located at 6926 Laurel Bowie Rd.

The shop hasn't set an official opening date because of the work still being done by contractors and inspectors but Sharon White, owner and head cake designer, told Patch she hopes to open for business in January.

White opened on Main Street in downtown Annapolis in 2008 and closed it in 2011 to launch The Cake Courtesan in Bowie. The new shop will "focus on high-end designer wedding and event cakes, and 3-D structures as well as cupcakes and other artisan-style confections," according to a press release.
