Where Nostalgia Meets Celebration: Fresh-Baked Joy at SusieCakes Nashville

Susie Sarich founded SusieCakes in 2006 to honor her grandmothers' timeless baking traditions. Today, SusieCakes’ mission of “Connecting through Celebration” thrives in Nashville, where her values of connection and career opportunities for women continue to drive operations.  "The most rewarding part of building SusieCakes in Nashville has been the relationships we have built with the incredible community. From the moment we opened, we've been embraced with open arms, and it's been truly inspiring. At SusieCakes, community involvement is at the heart of what we do," Susie notes. 

What sets SusieCakes apart is its commitment to authenticity—every treat is baked from scratch daily, using only high-quality ingredients."No mixes, preservatives, or artificial additives—just butter, vanilla, eggs, sugar, and flour. Our open kitchens allow you to see the care and attention we put into each treat, and with no machines involved, it’s real people behind every batch," Susie reflects. SusieCakes kitchens honor the past while innovating and bringing freshly baked ideas to their customers. 

The bakery's most popular item is the six-layer Celebration Vanilla Cake with retro-blue frosting, perfect for any special occasion. Seasonal specialties are another highlight; for example, November brings classic pies, while December features festive treats like gingerbread cookies and candy cane cakes. Inspired by guest feedback and seasonal ingredients, SusieCakes offers nostalgic flavors that evoke cherished holiday memories.

Serving Nashville is a fulfilling experience for SusieCakes. The bakery actively supports the local community through events and donations, such as its Dogs Day of Summer fundraiser with the Nashville Humane Association. For SusieCakes, sharing both baked goods and community spirit is a true celebration of connection.

For this holiday season, "It’s all about creating those warm, familiar flavors that make the holidays feel special!"
