Sprinkling sweetness across Southern Illinois since 2011.

Hello! I'm Allyson Silvestre, founder of Cakes by Ally!

For over a decade, my team and I have been dedicated to sprinkling sweetness across Southern Illinois through gorgeous wedding cakes, clever birthday cakes, always perfect cupcakes, and other tasty treats!

I always say it's what is on the inside that counts! Yes, my creations are beautiful to look at, but they are also delicious! From the first bite to the last, I take pride in offering Southern Illinois decadent desserts that are picture-perfect, too!

What started as a childhood hobby quickly turned into business plans and my dream career. I love baking for any celebration in Southern Illinois. My recipe for success is 1 part family, 1 part faith, and 1 part love.

Born and raised in Herrin, Illinois, I am proud to have my storefront in the heart of Southern Illinois where I can continue to sweeten my customers' lives.
