General Info

Being the mother of five children, there were always birthdays to celebrate at our house. Three of my children all have birthdays during the same week in November. One year I wanted a local bakery to make a rather large cake for me and they said they could not. So that became the start of my "bakery" business. The children who attended our parties all soon started to request that I make their cakes too, and from there the business blossomed. In 1976 we opened a cake and candy supply store in the Meadowood Shopping Center because there was no place to buy any type of cake decorations locally. The only option was to send away for them. When I got to the point I was doing too many cakes for family, friends and neighbors in my home, I moved my business into a part of the supply store. My children had always helped me decorate cakes while they attended school. After a few years in the supply store we were doing enough cakes to branch out on our own. In 1985 we opened a full line bakery in the Astro Shopping Center and in just a couple of years we had doubled our size. Today the bakery is owned and operated by my son, Steven Cannon. Cannon's still specializes in "custom" cakes and we can do almost anything you request. No cake is too large or too small for us to handle. We are the largest supplier of wedding and birthday cakes in Delaware. We have been voted "Reader's Choice" and "Best of Delaware" numerous times. Over the years we have made some very good and loyal friends, and we truly appreciate all that our customers have done, and still do, for us. Thanks to all of you for making us what we are today !
