Our Company History
Elaine Prather founded Cameo Cakes in 1967 when she began doing cakes out of her home for friends and family. In
1972 she converted a two-car garage behind their house into Wichita's first specialty cake shop. In 1976 her husband
Bob was laid off at a local aircraft plant so Elaine taught him how to bake cakes and soon became the baker which left
more time for Elaine to Decorate and to take more classes to perfect her decorating skills. In 1979 they opened a 2nd
shop in Wichita at Central and Woodlawn in the Normandy Shopping Center. The store did so well they opened a third store
on the west side of town. They soon closed the store behind the house and purchased another store on east Douglas.
In
1983 the company was turned over to their son Rick and his wife Vicki who were both taught to bake and decorate by Bob
and Elaine. Bob passed away in 1993 but occasionally you can still catch Elaine at the store making sure things are still
done the way she intended (a great looking cake that taste's as good as it looks).
We are Proud !!! to say we now are a third generation bakery with the Addition of Amy our daughter. Amy has stepped
in and became the Baker after Rick was injured in a motorcycle accident on june 4th of this year.
