Sally West and The Groovy Cake Kitchen are opening a 1950s-style rock'n'roll-themed shop at 35 Lyon St, Kihikihi – the former Hoops & Scoops premises.
This is the next step for Sally in meeting the demand for her personalised cakes she is renowned for.
Since 2014, Sally has operated from a registered home-based studio kitchen.
The new premises will mean more space and an extra oven to help meet the ever-increasing demand for Sally's creations and make room for an assistant.
Sally has been decorating cakes for around 27 years.
She is mostly self-taught, although she has attended night classes and travelled to Australia to partake in a three-day Australasian Cake Makers Conference.
