Cupcakes top full menu at Piece O’ Cake

The Frederick bakery Piece O'Cake is still relatively new to their location in the Westview shopping center along Md. 85, but the bakery is no stranger to Frederick County.

They've been open in the Westview space for about a year and a half, owner Naomi Jones said, but she's been in various spaces around Frederick for 15 years.

Jones went to pastry school after studying business management at Frederick Community College, then interned at a wedding cake shop and found she liked it.

When she went out on her own, she rented a space in downtown Frederick, then began baking pastry and cakes for the Dublin Roasters coffee shop in Frederick. From there, she moved to a space in Frederick's Whittier neighborhood, before moving into the spot in Westview.

The current spot is where she always wanted to be.

"That was my ideal location," she said.

The store draws customers from around Frederick County, as well as West Virginia, Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Their location right off of I-270 makes it easy for people to get to them from wherever they're coming from, Jones said.

The bakery's cupcakes are probably their best seller, with the Cookies and Cream cupcake a popular choice, she said.

The cupcakes also come in gluten-free and vegan options.

Other popular items include cake balls, tiramisu and mousse tarts, Jones said.
