New Stores in the Gables: New Bakery and Home Goods

Let Them Have Cake: Artistic Baked Goods

Let Them Have Cake in Coral Gables strikes a balance between artistry and simplicity. The space is elegant without being overdone – marble tables, soft blush tones, and velvet seating create a refined yet relaxed atmosphere. The focal point here is the cake display wall, where founder Estefania Peynetti’s handcrafted creations are showcased, each one featuring intricate details like her signature handmade sugar flowers. These delicate sugar petals can take up to a week to make, highlighting the level of craftsmanship behind every cake.

Estefania’s approach is thoughtful and precise. “For me, creating cakes is about more than just baking – it’s about making art that brings people together. Every detail matters, from the sugar petals to the flavors, and I want each piece to feel like a celebration in itself,” she explains. Each custom cake reflects her dedication to bringing her clients’ visions to life, ensuring that every design carries personal touches tailored to the occasion.

The bakery also offers a selection of baked goods, including red velvet cupcakes ($5) and macarons ($3.25). The red velvet cupcakes are moist, with a subtle sweetness that’s balanced by the smooth cream cheese frosting. The macarons have a perfectly crisp shell that gives way to a soft filling, creating a balanced texture that dissolves smoothly – the hardest part of creating any pastry. Both options are made and presented with the same attention to detail found in the custom cakes, offering a taste of the artistry that defines Let Them Have Cake. – Amanda Martell
