What About Bob?

My name is Bob Woodington, and for me baking was always a hobby. Whether it was my great-grandmother's fudge recipe or sugar cookies at Christmastime, or homemade rolls at Thanksgiving, I always felt at home with something rising in the oven.

At James Madison University, I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, though a series of jobs left me without a regular outlet for my creative side.

In time, I married, and had three beautiful daughters. Each year as their birthdays would come, I found us spending more and more for birthday cakes that were...unspectacular. I felt that I could make a cake as good or better than those we were getting from the store. But if I were going to make a cake, I wasn't going to just make an ordinary cake - I had to kick it to the next level. And Cakes by Bob was born!

I have lived in Virginia most of my life- in Fredericksburg, Alexandria, and Sterling, and I went to school at JMU in Harrisonburg, VA. For the last three years I have lived in Chesterfield, VA and that is where Cakes by Bob makes its home.

In addition to cakes, if you are looking for the perfect hand crafted gift with now worries about lead paint, head over to Woodington's Woodworks!
