Good Cakes and Bakes focuses on making Southern influenced baked goods, from German Chocolate cupcakes to St. Louis favorite Gooey cake.

Watch the video above to see April’s journey and what exactly Gooey Cake is all about.

DETROIT April Anderson bakes cakes. In a normal week she said Good Cakes and Bakes gets dozens of orders for custom bakes. I was like because he put the word pride in there, Ill make it a pride cake, Anderson said. After five days, -- not wanting to give a customer an old cake -- Anderson was forced to throw it out. I felt very disappointed leaving at six oclock that he hadnt come and picked up the cake, Anderson said.
