Once Upon a Cake, LLC

Once Upon a Cake, LLC 402-806-6141 - Randi Duis Once Upon A Cake is inspired by our founding family cake lady, Grandma Wilma Goetze. We served the Beatrice area for 5 awesome years.

Wilma started her own home-based cake business named Wilma's Kitchen. My mom, Sandi Steele, grew up surrounded by the awesome smell of cakes baking and took part in mixing frosting colors and filling bags. Grandma Wilma taught Sandi all the tricks to the trade. Sandi has been creating cakes of her own for any occasion for over 30 years. Growing up, I too helped mom with her cakes and made myself a

vailable for taste testing. I have always admired my mom's talent in creating works of art out of cake. My mom and I decided to take the business to the next level by opening Once Upon A Cake in Beatrice, NE. Once Upon a Cake, LLC made a few business changes in 2020 in order to meet personal family needs and moved to Utica, NE in October of 2020. Since the move, I have applied all the knowledge and creativity that I have gained through working with my mom, Sandi, to work. I am currently flying solo creating cakes for any occasion on my own as my mom has been overseeing all the book work portion of the business. I am a stay-at-home mother of two very rambunctious boys (5yrs and 3yrs) along with creating cakes. My husband, John, is a utility lineman for Norris Public Power District. He makes sure I always have electricity to create my customer's orders! Once Upon a Cake, LLC is a home-based business operating out of a non-commercial kitchen. I look forward to creating cakes for all occasions in surrounding areas such as Seward and York, while still making deliveries back to our loyal customer's in the Beatrice/Gage County area.

Cake customers 🎂
First, happy 4th of July! I hope you all have lots of fun things planned with your family this weekend.

Second, I am reaching out to all of you. My family and I are vacationing for the 4th of July weekend. Yesterday I slipped on a set of stairs and broke my ankle, 3 fractures it turns out. I am going to need surgery sometime this next week (July 7-11), but due to the holiday weekend have to wait til we get home to schedule. I wanted to let you know as soon as possible so you can make arrangements to order a cake from another vendor as I will be on crutches for a while. I apologize I will not be able to make the cakes for you for a bit. I'm so sorry.

I hope to have the opportunity to make a cake for your families in the future!

Wedding cake orders will be fulfilled done as scheduled. So please don't worry about that.

Thanks

Randi

"10 years." In answer to how long I have been a partner, owner, baker, decorator with Once Upon a Cake, LLC. Now in the grand spectrum that's not long in comparison to seasoned individuals who have been in the industry way longer. To see 👀 how I have grown within these past 10 years with my mom and I's business, I cannot even find the words.

10 years ago I was working as a clinic tech for Eye Care Specialties in Beatrice. My husband and I had just celebrated our first wedding anniversary and with my wildlife ecology major...never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be building wedding cakes at the level that we have grown our home-based business to be.

I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to make a wild idea a reality with mom. This month we have been an official "business/LLC" for 10 yrs. Thank you to all of our loyal customers, followers, supporters, friends, and family that have enjoyed the ride with us thus far. So excited to continue to create cakes and cupcakes for weddings, birthdays, and all of life's special occasions.

Contact Randi, 402-806-6141, to place an order for your next celebration.
