Sinfully Delicious: Customed-Designed Cakes

A new Riverview-based business wants South Shore residents to discover the latest guilty pleasure to hit the area.
“The idea behind our company is that you’ll enjoy our cakes and the rest of our creations to the point that it could be considered a sin,” said Michelle Fields.
Fields is the co-owner and pastry chef of Sinful Delight Cakes, which began operation in March. The company offers homemade, custom cakes for weddings, anniversaries, graduations and other special events. Each item is prepared by Fields in her Riverview home.
The other co-owner and operator is none other than Doug Fields, Michelle’s husband of seven years. While Michelle handles the baking, Doug pitches in by making deliveries and performing other assorted tasks.
Michelle Fields said she has been making wedding cakes for more than 20 years. In 1989, the Denver native started formal training when she was selected as one of two applicants from Colorado
or the Walt Disney World College Program in Hotel and Restaurant Management.
After completing the three-year program and earning her “Ducktorate Degree,” she became a junior member of the American Culinary Foundation.
Soon thereafter, she established herself as a chef of some renown in Colorado. She has prepared cakes for the rock ‘n’ roll band Van Halen, singer-songwriter Bonnie Raitt and rocker Ozzy Osbourne. She has also worked with famed chefs Wolfgang Puck and Stephen Pyles.
Although the Fields moved to Riverview a little more than two years ago, they are just now re-establishing their business. Doug said the delay was partly attributed to the fact that recipes had to be converted from their mile-high specifications to sea-level.
“I think the most important thing to point out is that not only do the cakes look good, they taste good,” Michelle said.
The Fields are currently looking to schedule cake tastings in the area sometime in the near future, with the hope that the tastings will expose their product to the area.
In addition to cakes, Sinful Delight offers goodies such as fruit tarts, cookies and fondant flowers. Doug said they are currently servicing areas within a two-hour radius of Riverview, including all of Hillsborough County, St. Petersburg and Orlando.
Since every cake is unique, the price for each creation varies. They also offer a free, no obligation consultation service, where they collaborate with customers on the cake’s flavor and design.
“I’ve made a lot of cakes for lots and lots of weddings and parties,” Michelle said. “We’re just happy to be able to make some of the most important times in those people’s lives a little better.”
