Artisan Cake Company Enters The Goumet Gift Niche

Artisan cake company, Yummykake of Medford, Oregon, has created a new product designed specifically for the corporate gift and gourmet food market. The new product named Trufflekake is an artistic creation of rich moist cake surrounded by chocolate truffle filling and a decorative chocolate shell, blending two traditional desserts: the truffle  an exquisite European confection and the classic American novelty  the cupcake to create the TruffleKake. Flavors available include Chocolate Bliss, Chocolate Mint, Chocolate Hazelnut, Night & Day, Grand Marnier, and my personal favorite, Amaretto Raspberry. Each flavor is hand wrapped in gemstone foils and nestled in its own gift box, or available as an assortment: all six flavors in a gift box.

Yummykake's owners, Larry & Lisa Oswald, originally from upstate New York, began a career creating spectacular goodies when they moved to Iowa and opened a bakery in their small town. It was a full-range bakery but when their children were accepted to Southern Oregon University, the family relocated to Ashland, Oregon and founded Yummykake. In addition to Trufflekake, Yummykake makes 25 varieties of specialty, wedding cakes and mini cakes (just right for one or two people).

Trufflekakes are represented by Pacific West Marketing who has more than 25 years of branding, marketing and sales experience promoting small product driven companies throughout the United States and abroad. PWM exposes small product driven companies to the large volume buyers specializing in the corporate gift/promotions, and fundraising market segments. Manufacturers benefit from a complete marketing program developed just for them, getting into a variety of trade shows, with marketplace exposure through trade journals.

Yummykake has two locations, one in Ashland on Hersey and the other on Roberts Road in Medford.
