Smiles, joy and candy are Custom Crazy Candy Cakes proprietor Jalene Ressegue’s specialties.
Her unique creations are work-intensive, colorful and a lot of fun.
But there’s one misconception: “cake” is not part of the equation.
Jalene starts with a theme, chooses different types of candy and arranges the confections, accordingly, on a layered base. Her “cakes” are actually candy towers, and they’re customized for Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, birthdays, graduations, Valentine’s Day…
…as well as any other themes that appeal to her clients, with whom she works closely to bring their ideas to life.
And the results–as you’ll see on her Instagram and TikTok channels–are spectacular. (I personally loved her Wicked-themed candy cake and her Girl Scout cookie one, but you’re likely to find some of your own favorites!)
