Sarah Thurman & Donna Thurman

Sarah graduated in May 2006 with an Associates Degree in Baking and Pastry Arts from Johnson & Wales University. In the course study she learned the art of fondant as well as completing many courses in hand making gumpaste flowers. Working in Charlotte for two years at Hansel & Gretel’s Bakery she mastered decorating skills. Making hundreds of cakes per year, decorating cakes has become second nature.

Her business partner and mother Donna Thurman has been making specialty cakes for over 20 years as a hobby and a second career.  Being in the wedding industry she has directed numerous weddings and provided catering at many events. With the combined knowledge of the wedding industry and new innovative techniques of modern cake decorating, there is no question that Special Occasion Cakes is the place to order the wedding cake of your dreams!

Demand for our fresh-baked wedding cakes, along with our high standards limits the number of cakes we are able to make each year. In order to ensure availability we strongly recommend you place your order three months to a year in advance, depending on the season you will be getting married.
(Dates between May and September usually book the quickest.)
