Your local Nacogdoches bakeryOur story

Poppy Cakes is named for Lauren's grandmother, Poppy, who passed away in the spring of 2026. Every cake we make carries a little of her with it.

Lauren started Poppy Cakes out of a simple wish: to create a space where people feel truly celebrated. Baking is her creative outlet, but the heart of it is the people, whether it's a first birthday, a gender reveal, an anniversary, or a just-because Tuesday.

Poppy Cakes is also our way of giving back to Nacogdoches and East Texas in a meaningful way. We're a small, family-focused local bakery making custom cakes to order, and we're grateful every time you let us be part of your story.
