Elizabeth and Jerry Hale started Zeapod Cakery seven years ago as a food truck before landing a storefront bakery near Cypress at 13010 FM 529. Now, though, the business is getting rebranded as CAKE Fine Pastry, a name that better reflects the multi-tiered, custom cakes that Elizabeth regularly constructs for weddings and other big celebrations. The company also makes “push pop” cakes, cake pops, cupcakes in a jar and cookies.
Explaining the name change, Elizabeth Hale says, “When we decided to rebrand, we wanted every client to feel that they were getting a cake made exclusively for them. Zeapod Cakery was not crystal-clear to everyone. There were always a lot of questions behind the name and a thirty-minute conversation. With CAKE Fine Pastry, it’s clear what we do and that I want to talk about your cake.
On March 20 at 11:30 a.m., representatives from the Cy-Fair Houston Chamber of Commerce will be on-hand to rechristen the space with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The celebration is open to the public.
Sweets lovers can keep up with CAKE Fine Pastry’s artistic dessert projects and the general goings-on at its Facebook page or call 713-518-4868 for more information.
