With a name that piques curiosity and glaze-soaked bundt cakes that satisfy cravings, Pookie Crack Cakes has become a dessert phenomenon, selling out every day. What started as a passion project for founder Dedra Simmons in 2014 has evolved into a booming business that delights both local patrons and international visitors alike.

Originally baking from home while juggling a full-time job in the pharmaceutical industry, Simmons soon realized she had something special on her hands. The overwhelming demand for her irresistible cakes grew quickly, proving that her sweet creations were more than just a hobby—they were a sensation. Today, Pookie Crack Cakes sells an astonishing 600 cakes each day.

The secret behind the magic? Simmons and her daughter, Biles, who work side by side, prepping, mixing, and baking every single cake by hand. Their commitment is remarkable, often requiring 12-14 hour days on top of maintaining regular store hours to meet the growing demand.

What sets Pookie Crack Cakes apart from commercial bakeries is the personal touch.
