Shalana Patout -
Wedding & Birthday Cake Artist.
Thank you for considering me for your event! I decorated my first cake when I was 8 years old for 4-H, only making one or two cakes a year for county fair. After high school I decided to pursue a career, and for the next 6 years cake decorating was put on hold until my husband and I welcomed our first sweet baby cakes into the world,
I left the days of diesel engines behind to be a stay-at-home-mom and dove into the exciting world of sugar art. I am a self taught baker and cake artist, mostly learning through experimentation and from my own mistakes and experiences. I now specialize in modern designs and dessert bars and I love to experiment with imaginative color palettes and cutting edge artistic techniques.
I recently appeared on the Food Network's Cake Wars assisting my partner Quinnesha. I have been published in Taste of Home Magazine, as well as being featured in publications such as American Cake Decorating, Cake Central, 337 magazine, Acadiana Profile Magazine, and 008 Magazine.
My husband and I now have two busy little girls and reside in beautiful Lafayette, Louisiana. I also currently work a day job in addition to caking full time. My Day Acadiana was established in 2015, and is a licensed and insured home occupation.

Shalana did our wedding cake last year and we have since referred others that have gotten cakes from her for other occasions. She not only is an incredible artist, but her cakes are moist and delicious and shes very reasonably priced for the amount of work that goes into her cakes. I have only heard rave reviews from others i have referred to her. I would definitely reccommend to others! -brandi billat, a very satisfied customer
