Robin Martin started Gateaux, Inc. in 1996, coming from a background in portrait photography at a studio specializing in a high volume of weddings. "I got tired of seeing wedding proofs showing unique couples with original wedding motifs, and run of the mill cakes," she explains.

Recognizing a void in the market, Robin founded Gateaux, Inc. Decorating with rolled fondant over a base of buttercream, she creates exceptional designs. The fondant's flexibility allows her to fashion each cake as unique as her client.

Over a decade later, Gateaux remains small and flexible, in order to live up to its original goals. Limiting the number of events that they'll take per weekend ensures that their clients receive the utmost in personalized service. "I love the challenge of incorporating a couple's style into their cake design," Robin states. "Besides, it's fun to get to rifle through our client's wedding files for inspiration." Once they've explored all the possibilities, Gateaux, Inc. always comes up with a truly original design.
