Cakery brings artistic creations to Bluebonnet Circle

Sugar Biscuit Cakery is celebrating six months of creative cake making on Bluebonnet Circle.

Owner Ratna Goenardi said buying from her cakery is different from going in a grocery store because her cupcakes are just as much art as cake.

Goenardi has made cupcakes resembling Darth Vader, footballs, Mexican food, a cheeseburger, school supplies, a baby bottle, high heels and more. Some of her cakes designs include a bed, a snake, a wine bottle, a turkey, and a crossword puzzle.

TCU and Star Wars cupcakes are popular themes, she said, but customers can request any design.

“The craziest cupcake I have made was the sushi themed cupcakes,” she  said.

The cakery offers a variety of cake flavors such as vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, lemon, strawberry, carrot cake, Italian cream, amaretto and champagne.

It takes hours to finish the design on a typical batch of cupcakes or a cake, Goenardi said, and that is why her prices are higher. A single cupcake bought at Sugar Biscuit Cakery costs $4.

Carleigh Taylor, a TCU strategic communication major, ate a vanilla TCU themed cupcake from the cakery.

“I was surprised by the design because it was so artfully crafted and was not a generic design,” she wrote in an email. “I was also surprised by how delicious it was. I have never had a cupcake with icing that wasn’t creamy. It was different.”

Taylor said she would consider buying a creative batch of the cupcakes for a special themed occasion or a birthday party and hopes to see cupcakes with animal designs.

“Monogrammed cupcakes would be really cute too,” she said.

A TCU graphic design graduate, Goenardi said she enjoys being part of Bluebonnet Circle and believes in its future.
